The Lord confirms to Peter that the gospel is for everyone, not just Jews. In obedience, he goes to Cornelius, preaches the good news of Jesus Christ, and witnesses the Holy Spirit fall upon the Gentiles.

You are a Christian before a man, woman, race, etc. Saul wanted to preach to and reach the Jews, God wanted him to learn to love the Gentiles. “It is better to have God molding you than you molding.”

Although Saul’s heart and mind was to reach his Jewish brothers in Jerusalem, God called him to preach the Good News to the Gentiles. The churches were actually edified and multiplied when he left!

When witnessing to our Muslim friends, we should start with common ground. Both the Bible and the Qur’an say that Jesus is the Messiah, the Word of God, & a spirit from God. Then let the Spirit of Truth guide them into all truth. Truth is no less true if it is found somewhere else than the Bible!
