Moisha Krivitsky, From Synagogue to the Mosque Everyone has their own way in discovering the truth in life relijiusnya. Krivitsky Moisha Similarly, a Jew who had to go through tortuous path until he believes the truth of Islam and became a Muslim. The long journey he traveled through, the law school where he studied, then a synagogue where he became a rabbi until he eventually became manager of the mosque. After converting to Islam, Moisha Krivitsky changed his name to Moses. He now lives and take charge of the Central Juma Masjid, a small mosque in Al-Burikent, an area in the mountains of Makhachkala, the Republic of Dagestan, Russia. Musa said the journey of his life until he came to the mosque it was a tough journey. After graduating from high school to become a rabbi, he went to Makhachkala, and became rabbi of the city. Asked where he was he came from, Moses simply replied that he comes from a place far into Dagestan and become a true Dagestan. "I have many friends in Dagestan, both from the Muslims or those who are far from Islam," said Moses remembers his past. Moses said, the synagogue where he became a rabbi in Makhachkala highway adjacent to the mosque of the city. Sometimes, friends who become Muslim mosque visit Moses just to chat. Vice versa, Moses occasionally visited the mosque to see how the worship service at the mosque. "I am very interested in the life of the mosque. We live next door to good," he said. One time, during Ramadan, a woman came to Moses, who was still being a Jewish rabbi and asked him to comment on Al-Quran translation in Russian language organized by Krachkovsky. "She asked me to give the Torah and vice versa, I was asked to read the Koran he had brought. I tried to read the Koran, at least ten times," said Moses, remembering the first time he read the Koran. He acknowledged, as a rabbi difficult for him to read the Koran, but little by little he began to understand the contents of the Quran and see the basic concepts of Islam. Then, the woman who gave the Quran came back and handed the Torah of Moses was ever requested. "The woman said, he found it hard to read and understand the contents of the book because a lot of literature relating to the Jewish religion in the book, which takes deep concentration and attention while reading it," said Moses. After reading the Quran, Moses compares the contents of the book of his religion with the Muslim holy book it. He acknowledged, there are many questions in his head so far, answered in the Qur'an and not in the book of Judaism that dianutnya. One thing he finally understood, why the Jewish people during Prophet Muhammad Saw many who converted to Islam, it is because they do not find answers in Judaism but to find it in the Qur'an. "It could also because they are fascinated with the personality of the Prophet, his behavior and on how the Messenger to communicate with everyone. This is an important topic," said Moses. One of the questions in the mind of Moses when he was a Jewish rabbi is about the figure of the Prophet Muhammad because his name was never mentioned in the Torah. But there are key words in the Torah that refers to the presence of the human figure as the last prophet who will be calling for mankind to worship the One God. And after reading the Koran, Moses found that the description in the Torah in accordance with the description of the Prophet Muhammad who was the last prophet. "When I knew it, I am very interested. I never knew about Islam before. So I tried to dig deeper and find out if there are miracles or signs related to the Prophet," said Moses. He then asked several scholars, who then gave him a collection of hadiths that explain the wonders that have anything to do with the Prophet. Moses also finally find out that Islam also explained about the prophets which were before the Messenger of Allah, as stated in the Torah and the Gospel. Since then, he felt something strange in him. He is so much more reading Islamic books and discussion with Muslim friends at the mosque. The book that most influenced the work of Islamic books Dedat Akhmad, a scholar from South Africa. "When you dive into the deepest meaning of Islam, you will see that religion is very simple, but roads to the Muslims can be very difficult. But Islam has everything, both what we can imagine or not imagine," said Moses. (Ln / COI) Hopefully the benefits ....
