Brief Overview
Adventist Muslim Relations is a new department that has proved a success and enlighten the remnant church in approach to the Muslim world. This has also helped the church in its worldwide mission of preaching the everlasting gospel to every nation, tribe and race in context of the three angels’ messages. Revelation14:6-12 Many of our beliefs can establish points of contacts with Muslims. Creation for instance, respect for the Old Testament, belief in second coming of Jesus Christ and the judgment day, things which the Muslims also believe in.
