(LifeSiteNews) — The daughter of a Hamas founder said Jesus revealed Himself to her as God in a dream, and that she has since embraced Christianity.
Juman al Qawasmi, who grew up in Qatar and moved in 2022 to Gaza, where she was married to a Hamas member, recently told the Christian Broadcasting Network (CBN) how she miraculously came to know Jesus Christ after she began to have doubts about Islam and turned to prayer for guidance.
Al Qawasmi was raised to hate Jews, Christians, and even Shia Muslims, and was taught that they should be killed, she told CBN’s Raj Nair. She began to question the radical religion and culture into which she was born when Hamas started killing Palestinians and other Muslims, and began “making people feel that if you don’t belong to Hamas you should be scared.”
She also noticed that Hamas did not fulfill their promise to “give people equality.” Islam itself, in her experience, also instilled an attitude of fear and disquiet. “There’s something wrong with this religion,” she thought at the time.
“I felt God would never be happy with me. I was always scared of hell,” said al Qawasmi, adding that she was plagued with doubts that God accepted her prayers. “Islam does not give you peace.”
When a friend of hers who had become an atheist encouraged her to read the Quran objectively, without the assumption that it is a “holy” book, her eyes were opened to the absurdity of its claims and teachings. As an example, she pointed to a portion of the book in which God asks Muhammad’s son to divorce his wife so that Muhammad can marry her.
While she became completely disillusioned with Islam and now rejected it, she knew “deep inside” that God was real. So she prayed to God “every single day: ‘God, if you exist, I want to know you, I want to meet you.’”
After these prayers began, God healed her children, said al Qawasmi, when they “almost died.” She asked God in prayer to reveal Himself from 2012 to 2014, at which point the Israeli Defense Force (IDF) was bombing homes close by, including their neighbor’s home. She said the IDF called her husband to ask if their neighbors were home, and proceeded to destroy their house after her husband said they weren’t home.
Al Qawasmi was very frightened and cried that night, thinking she might die. She implored God again in prayer, “God, if you exist I want to know you I want to call your name. I want you to save me.”
That night, she had a dream in which she was sitting with her mother, who had passed away about a decade before, on a balcony, looking at the moon.
“The moon was so big, and came closer to us. And my mom asked me to look at the moon. And I saw Jesus’ face come out of the moon,” al Qawasmi said. What He told her in the dream translated to, “I’m the God Jesus. You’re my daughter. Don’t be afraid.”
She had never heard the name of Jesus before, never having met any Christians. In Gaza as in Qatar, she was completely surrounded by Muslims.
“I thought, it’s a beautiful name. He’s a beautiful God. I felt peace inside my heart. For the first time I felt like someone loves me,” she continued. “Because I never feel love with my family…
I love my family, but being Muslim, you don’t have peace. God is always mad about Muslims.”
After the dream, curious to know more about Jesus, she searched His name in Google, and found a website created by an Egyptian Christian. The first verse she saw was “love your enemies.” This was a stunning contrast to the Quran, which “says to kill all the Jews and the Christians,” she noted.
She contacted the website’s administrator, who asked her to read the Bible and told her there are “thousands of Muslims are seeing Jesus in their dreams and converting to Christianity.”
“I accepted Jesus into my life and I’ve started my journey with Him,” she told Nair.
Many reports have been emerging for years of Muslims converting to Christianity after seeing Jesus Christ in their dreams. This has been affirmed by Dinesh D’Souza, a former policy adviser in President Ronald Reagan’s administration.
The phenomenon has become so common that there is an acronym that such converts have become known by pastors as “MBBs,” which stands for Muslim Background Believers. Remarkably, Tom Doyle has found while ministering to the Middle East that around one in three MBBs had a dream or vision before converting to Christianity.
