Abdul Malik LeBlanc grew up Catholic, served as an altar boy, taught Bible classes in the Air Force, and was even offered the opportunity to become a minister. But through his deep study of the Bible itself, he arrived at an inescapable conclusion: Jesus never claimed to be God, and the Bible — when read honestly — points directly to the message of Islam. Here is how the Bible led him to become a Muslim.
A Lifetime in the Church — and the Question That Changed Everything
Abdul Malik was not a casual Christian. He attended church at 6:00 in the morning, served at the altar, and studied the Bible extensively while serving in the United States Air Force. He explored multiple denominations and religions — Hinduism, Rosicrucianism, Baptist, Protestant, Episcopalian — but one glaring fact kept surfacing in every study of the Bible: Jesus never once said “I am God.” Every action Jesus took, every miracle he performed, he attributed to the will of the Father.
“If your name is Dean and I keep calling you something else, you would be upset. How much more important is it for Jesus to tell us who he was? If he was God, he would have said ‘I am God’ — but he never made that statement.” — Abdul Malik LeBlanc
What the Bible Actually Says About Jesus
When you read the Bible objectively, Jesus consistently pointed people away from himself and toward God. He prayed to God, he fasted for God, he prostrated to God. He said, “I do nothing of myself — it is the Father who sent me.” He did not possess the attributes of God — he was not all-knowing, not all-powerful on his own, and he never claimed to be the “Merciful” or the “Forgiver.” Islam honors Jesus as one of the mightiest prophets while maintaining the simple truth that he himself preached: worship the One God alone.
“Everything Jesus talked about, he said: ‘I do because of the will of my Father.’ He did nothing of his own accord.” — The Bible itself testifies that Jesus was a servant and prophet of God, not God Himself.
Key Points for Bible Readers to Consider
- Jesus never claimed divinity — search the entire Bible and you will not find a single verse where he says “I am God, worship me”
- The word “Allah” simply means “The God” — the same God that Jesus, Moses, and Abraham prayed to
- Islam does not reject Jesus — it restores his true message of pure monotheism that was later distorted by human councils and traditions
- If the Bible led a Catholic altar boy and Bible teacher to Islam, perhaps it is worth examining with fresh eyes
If you are a Christian who sincerely loves God and wants to follow the truth, read your Bible with open eyes. Look at what Jesus actually said and did — not what later theologians interpreted. When you do, you may find, as Abdul Malik did, that the Bible itself leads you straight to the message of Islam: there is only one God, and He alone deserves your worship.
