THOUGH NONE GO WITH ME


"Do not suppose that I have come to bring peace to the earth. I did not come
to bring peace, but a sword. For I have come to turn 'a man against his
father, a daughter against her mother, a daughter-in-law against her
mother-in-law - a man's enemies will be the members of his own household.'

In the early morning of July 20, 1992 handicapped Pakistani Christian, Tahir
Iqbal, died a martyr's death at age thirty-two in prison. He was charged
with slander of the prophet Mohammed and desecration of the Koran. His death
occurred under mysterious circumstances. According to fellow-prisoners Tahir
vomited blood before he died which could point to poisoning or another form
of violence. His stepmother declared, "Allah never forgives those who
blaspheme against his holy prophet. Tahir received what he deserved."

When Tahir Iqbal, a direct descendant of the prophet Mohammad, became ill
and paralyzed from his waist down as a young adult, his family abandoned
him. It would be a foretaste of things to come. Christians befriended him
and he gave his heart and life to Jesus.

Tahir was quite bold about his new found faith and this stirred up the anger
of the imam at the mosque. The imam started a slander campaign against
Tahir, which resulted in a Police rescue on December 7, 1990 when a crowd of
Muslim extremists were out to murder him.

In order to protect Tahir he was transferred to the prison. He would never
leave it. Tahir was under continuous pressure to return to Islam. "They want
me to say that I was forced to change my beliefs, that it was because of
money, or for a good job, or to get a wife. They must know that I only
changed my faith because I did find the Truth."

His most famous statement when threatened with death was, "I'll kiss that
rope but I'll never deny my faith."

When his pastor was notified of his death, he went to the prison. It turned
out that Tahir's stepmother had already arrived to claim the body. Members
of the church inquired the next day and to their shock they were informed
that Tahir had been buried already. His stepmother had received and taken
the body without a post-mortem. In less than 36 hours after his death Tahir
received an Islamic burial ceremony performed by the same Muslim cleric who
had demanded the death penalty.

Now he praises his Savior in heavenly glory, where all tears have been wiped
away.

RESPONSE: Today I reaffirm my commitment to follow Jesus even if none go
with me.

PRAYER: Lord, be with my brothers and sisters suffering unjustly in Pakistan
today under the blasphemy law.
