Muslims Are Seeing Jesus During Ramadan
Posted by afghanjohn on September 21, 2007
For an number of years I’ve heard many reports about Muslims who have dreams about Jesus during Ramadan, the Islamic month of fasting.
According to a September 21 report in Christian World News, Brother Andrew of Open Doors International said, “Jesus often appears in a vision or in a dream, especially in this time of Ramadan. They’re so concentrated on spiritual things and on heavenly things and on the God they’re seeking. Every Muslim is still a seeker for God, and then it so often happens, all over the Muslim world, that Jesus appears and they get a changed heart or a strong desire to follow that man who was in my room, who said, ‘I’m Jesus, I came to heal you, I came to save you, I died for you, I want you to be with me in heaven.’”
During the month of Ramadan, many Muslims are seeking for an experience with God. They hope that God will be near to them, especially on the “night of power,” which is believed by Muslims to be the day Mohammed supernaturally received the Quran.
For several decades now, Christians have organized to pray for Muslims during the month of Ramadan. This year the initiative led by 30-Days International is dubbed “Loving Muslims Through Prayer.”
According to The Christian Post, “Some former Muslims who lived in areas where they have no contact with Christians and no chance of hearing the Gospel have said they had dreams and visions of Jesus which spurred them to seek more information about Jesus Christ, eventually resulting in their conversion.”
Indeed Muslims around the world are discovering the truth of Jesus Christ. And in doing so, their lives are changed and they experience the reality written by the Apostle Paul 2,000 years ago to the early Christians:
“Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all comprehension, shall guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.” (Philippians 4:6-7)
I’ve seen this reality in the lives of former Muslims around the world. Some are bold witnesses for the risen Jesus. They have carefully considered the cost of discipleship and have taken up their cross as followers of Christ.
And they are shaking the Islamic world to its very foundations.

These kinds of reports, which I have heard so often, show that it is God himself who are trying to reach Muslims with the good news that Jesus died for our sins. God is calling Muslims to know Jesus, The Savior of the world. Many Muslim countries have tried to keep their people from hearing about Christianity, making conversion from Islam illegal. I would think they would have no desire to resist intervention in their people’s lives from God Himself.
