However, what he says is he believes in his God (which is Jesus and it’s the son of God) and he has prayed to him in many occasions when he was in trouble and sickness and he has been saved. So he is asking me if my God does not exist or is wrong God how come every time I needed him he has helped me ??
Which is a very difficult question to answer for me. Can you help me answer that question.
In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful
Assalaamu `alaykum waRahmatullahi Wabarakatuh
God Almighty is independent. He is self-sufficient. He does not require the help and assistance of anyone. If (as per your belief) Jesus is God, why then he prayed “Ilaa, Ilaa, Li ma Sabachtane” when *he* was on the cross? Who is the “Ilaa, Ilaa” Jesus was referring to? Simply, it was Allah. He is Most Gracious and Most Merciful. He is compassionate. He provides and helps even those who do not believe in Him. If your friend received help and assistance during troubled times, it was the same “Ilaa” (Allah) that assisted him who assisted *Jesus* who was on the cross. Nobody else assisted him. There is only one God and He is Almighty who created us and the universe. We owe our allegiance and loyalties to Him alone.
And Allah knows best
