One of the primary ways God is drawing Muslims to Himself is through simple Bible studies that highlight passages of scripture from Creation through the Resurrection. The Waha app (https://waha.app/) contains many story sets that have been translated into dozens of languages. Throughout the 30 days we will pray through these story sets that reveal Jesus, the Word made flesh.
As you read these familiar passages, prayerfully imagine what it would be like to read them for the first time – to see the wisdom, power, beauty, and authority of God and to be drawn to trust in Christ and yield your allegiance to Him.
In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth. And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters. And God said, Let there be light: and there was light. And God saw the light, that it was good: and God divided the light from the darkness. And God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And the evening and the morning were the first day. And God said, Let there be a firmament in the midst of the waters, and let it divide the waters from the waters. And God made the firmament, and divided the waters which were under the firmament from the waters which were above the firmament: and it was so. And God called the firmament Heaven. And the evening and the morning were the second day. And God said, Let the waters under the heaven be gathered together unto one place, and let the dry land appear: and it was so. And God called the dry land Earth; and the gathering together of the waters called he Seas: and God saw that it was good. And God said, Let the earth bring forth grass, the herb yielding seed, and the fruit tree yielding fruit after his kind, whose seed is in itself, upon the earth: and it was so. And the earth brought forth grass, and herb yielding seed after his kind, and the tree yielding fruit, whose seed was in itself, after his kind: and God saw that it was good. And the evening and the morning were the third day. And God said, Let there be lights in the firmament of the heaven to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days, and years: And let them be for lights in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth: and it was so. And God made two great lights; the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night: he made the stars also. And God set them in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth, And to rule over the day and over the night, and to divide the light from the darkness: and God saw that it was good. And the evening and the morning were the fourth day. And God said, Let the waters bring forth abundantly the moving creature that hath life, and fowl that may fly above the earth in the open firmament of heaven. And God created great whales, and every living creature that moveth, which the waters brought forth abundantly, after their kind, and every winged fowl after his kind: and God saw that it was good. And God blessed them, saying, Be fruitful, and multiply, and fill the waters in the seas, and let fowl multiply in the earth. And the evening and the morning were the fifth day. And God said, Let the earth bring forth the living creature after his kind, cattle, and creeping thing, and beast of the earth after his kind: and it was so. And God made the beast of the earth after his kind, and cattle after their kind, and every thing that creepeth upon the earth after his kind: and God saw that it was good.
God is a powerful, joyful Creator who brings order from chaos, speaks with authority, reveals Himself to be known, and multiplies His goodness through His creation and His people.
Humanity is invited into God’s generous, relational design—not as the center of the story, but as participants who receive His abundance, reflect His community, and live within the order He lovingly created.
This story reveals that God only creates good. He doesn’t create evil, contrary to Islamic doctrine. According to Islamic teaching, Satan was originally a jinn, created by God from smokeless fire. Islam also teaches that God is unknowable, but here we see Him revealing Himself, giving us important information to know about Him. This difference in understanding impacts how Muslims respond to Biblical accounts of nature.
Recovering from metastatic cancer and having finished radiation, Hanen longs to hope in God’s power to heal and save. Listening to the story of Creation stirred her heart to praise God’s strength. Just a few days later, however, her initial openness gave way to resistance when she adamantly declared that healing can only come through reading the Quran and that she doesn’t need to read God’s Holy Word from the Torah (Old Testament) and Injil (New Testament).
Pray for God to stir a hunger for reading God’s Word from the Bible and for fear to be replaced with faith.
Most Muslims believe God created the world, though they don’t regard the Bible’s account as accurate.
Colossians 1:15-22
Jesus, you are the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation. By you, all things were created in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities. All things were created through you and for you, you are before all things, and in you all things hold together.
We declare, Jesus, that you are the head of the body, the church. You are the beginning, the firstborn from the dead, in everything you are preeminent. For in you, Jesus, all the fullness of God was pleased to dwell and through you, to reconcile to yourself all things, whether on earth or in heaven, making peace by the blood of your cross.
We pray for Muslims in this area who are currently alienated and hostile in mind, doing evil deeds. We pray that they would accept and believe and be reconciled through Christ’s body of flesh by His death, and that they would be presented to you as holy and blameless and above reproach before you.
