Believe it or not there was a time when most all truly Christian faiths recognized the fact that belief in Jesus and His redeeming work was the one and only way to heaven.
As we now know, much of Christianity has fallen under the "big tent", there are many ways to heaven lie.
Here is a prayer from a wonderful little prayerbook called The Scottish Book of Common Prayer. Published in 1929, it actually has prayers in it for Jews and Muslims to be converted to Jesus.
Naturally, the recent editions of this prayerbook have eliminated these prayers.
FYI--Muslims believe in Jesus as a prophet but totally reject the fact that he is the Son of God. Due to this fact they are lost, and according to the Bible, are destined for hell.
May we pray for the conversion of all Muslims.
"ALMIGHTY God, our heavenly Father, who in thy goodness hast caused the light of the Gospel to shine in our land: Extend thy mercy, we beseech thee, to the nations of the world that still walk in darkness. Enlighten the Moslems with the knowledge of thy truth; and grant that the Gospel of salvation may be made known in all lands, that the heart of the peoples may be turned unto thee; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen."
