RE: “I have read a while ago that a fair number of Muslims have been having dreams about Jesus”


https://www.thegospelcoalition.org/article/muslims-dream-jesus/

“Mission Frontiers magazine has reported that out of 600 Muslim converts, 25 percent experienced a dream that led to their conversion. The great missionary Lillias Trotter also reported dreams that drove Muslims to Christ.”

“For decades, a well-documented phenomenon has been occurring in the Muslim world—men and women who, without knowledge of the gospel, or contact among Christians in their community, have experienced dreams and visions of Jesus Christ. The reports of these supernatural occurrences often come from “closed countries” where there is no preaching of the good news and where converting to Christianity can invoke the death sentence. “

“Uncharted Ministries has interviewed former Muslims who now follow Jesus, and many of them had supernatural encounters with Jesus during Ramadan. These former Muslims are sharing their stories of discovering Jesus as their savior and praying that others will have the same experience.”

“We get asked all the time, “Are Muslims really having dreams about Jesus?” The short and simple answer is yes. It happens quite often in fact. It has become rather normative in places where the Gospel is spreading to see the Spirit use supernatural means to draw people to Christ. Among former Muslim leaders who have come to faith and are discipling others, at least 40% of them reported having a dream or vision of Jesus that led them to forsake their former beliefs and follow Him.”

“Pastor Tom Doyle has spent eleven years as a full-time missionary in the Middle East and Central Asia, spreading the word of Jesus Christ. Throughout his journey he has encountered a staggering number of Muslims who were first introduced to Jesus through a vision or dream so powerful that they eventually turned from their lifelong religion of Islam and embraced Christ as their Savior.

Despite living in a culture where converting to Christianity can result in execution, these former Muslims have found hope, peace, and inspiration that comes from knowing Christ. Their stories will amaze you. Jesus is reaching out to Muslims and they are responding—and Iran has the fastest growing Christian church in the world.”

“After his release from the hospital, Jaffar ran into a former employer one day who asked where he had been. When Jaffar recounted his near-death experience and recurring dream, the former boss began to weep. “The man who appeared to you is Jesus Christ,” he told Jaffar, “and He wants you to be His.”

“...these reported sightings of Jesus typically occur around the time a Muslim is being evangelized. The dream or vision is used by God to validate the truth of what the Christian witness is saying.”

D’Souza: ... You’ve got incidents that are occurring in Indonesia. They’re occurring in the Middle East. They’re occurring in Africa, even in Sub-Saharan Africa. Not to mention [among] Muslims who are in the West. And describe the remarkable phenomenon of Muslims who see dreams and visions of Jesus. Say a word about that. How did you find out about that? And what do you make of it?

Pipes: Well, you’re right. There is a large literature. All I did in my brief article is to skim the tops of it. There’s a vast literature. There are many, many ex-Muslims who describe their process out of Islam. Many moving ones. There are books, plenty of books, plenty of books in English on the subject, both in the West and in the Muslim-majority countries. So it’s not hard to find. It’s just a matter of paying attention to it, of saying, “Oh. This is a significant phenomenon.”

“Finally, there was the matter of dreams. Though dreams have fallen into disrepute in the West, they retain their currency in the House of Islam. A common phrase found in many testimonies gathered from West Africa to East Asia began with the words, “I had a dream....” Like the wind itself, these dreams came as invisible harbingers of change. For many, they recall the words of Jesus to a nighttime seeker, “The wind blows where it pleases, and you hear its sound, but you don’t know where it comes from or where it is going. So it is with everyone born of the Spirit” (John 3:8.)”
