How to share Jesus during Ramadan

Ramadan presents a unique opportunity for friendship and meaningful conversation.

First and foremost, Christians are called to respond with respect.

• Acknowledge the commitment fasting requires.
• Ask thoughtful questions about what the month means personally.
• Express genuine interest rather than debate.

Hospitality is central during Ramadan. If invited to an iftar meal, accepting graciously can build trust and deepen friendship.

When spiritual conversations arise, Christians may gently share:

• That Jesus also fasted and prayed (Matthew 4:1–2).
• That Christians, too, seek forgiveness and closeness to God.
• That Jesus is called “the Word of God” and “the Messiah” in both the Bible and the Qur’an.

Rather than presenting Jesus as a rival prophet, speak of Him as the fulfillment of God’s revelation — the One who perfectly reveals the Father’s heart, who embodies mercy, and who offers assurance of forgiveness through grace.

Questions can be powerful:

• “Who do you believe Jesus is?”
• “What do you think it means that He is called Messiah?”
• “How do you experience assurance of forgiveness?”

Above all, remember:

• The goal is not to win an argument.
• The goal is to bear witness to Christ.
• The Holy Spirit alone lifts the veil.

Let love lead. Let humility guide. Let truth be spoken gently.
“Speak the truth in love.” — Ephesians 4:15
