Just to add this - how does a Muslim from Quran teachings show you the way to Heaven?

Faith and good deeds get Muslims to heaven. Allah (swt) says :
But those who believe and work righteousness,- no burden do We place on any soul, but that which it can bear, they will be Companions of the Garden, therein to dwell (forever). (7:42)
In the case of those who say, "Our Lord is Allah," and, further, stand straight and steadfast, the angels descend on them (from time to time): "Fear ye not!" (they suggest), "Nor grieve! but receive the Glad Tidings of the Garden (of Bliss), that which ye were promised!" (41:30)
Those are limits set by Allah. those who obey Allah and His Messenger will be admitted to Gardens with rivers flowing beneath, to abide therein (for ever) and that will be the supreme achievement. But those who disobey Allah and His Messenger and transgress His limits will be admitted to a Fire, to abide therein: And they shall have a humiliating punishment. (4:13-14)
And fear the Fire, which is prepared for those who reject Faith. (3:131)
It is not righteousness that ye turn your faces towards East or West; but it is righteousness to believe in Allah and the Last Day, and the Angels, and the Book, and the Messengers; to spend of your substance, out of love for Him, for your kin, for orphans, for the needy, for the wayfarer, for those who ask, and for the ransom of slaves; to be steadfast in prayer, and give zakat; to fulfill the contracts which ye have made; and to be firm and patient, in pain (or suffering) and adversity, and throughout all periods of panic. (2:177)
You be foremost (in seeking) forgiveness from your Lord, and a Garden (of Bliss), the width whereof is as the width of heaven and earth, prepared for those who believe in Allah and His messengers: that is the Grace of Allah, which He bestows on whom He pleases: and Allah is the Lord of Grace abounding.” (57:21)
To those who believe and do deeds of righteousness hath Allah promised forgiveness and a great reward. (5:9)
As to those who believe and work righteousness, verily We shall not suffer to perish the reward of any who do a (single) righteous deed. (18:30)
But after them there followed a posterity who missed prayers and followed after lusts soon, then, will they face Destruction,-Except those who repent and believe, and work righteousness: for these will enter the Garden and will not be wronged in the least,-Gardens of Eternity, those which (Allah) Most Gracious has promised to His servants in the Unseen: for His promise must (necessarily) come to pass.” S. 19:59-61

Their "false religion"? Easy there, moses. Who the hell are you to judge other people's faiths? I am a christian as well, but have a healthy respect for other religions. No matter what faith you are, if you truly believe in peace and love, heaven awaits you. Muslims included. And Apostle Jeff, I am sure Jesus would be a little more tolerant. Don't forget, he was Jewish and encountered many different faiths.

in case you extremely love him stay with him. on the priority which you like your God and stay unswerving to Him. God will the two convert him with a miracle or you would be guided with the holy spirit or follow in Jesus footsteps. the two way you % faith and staying power to end this way of element. to produce somewhat one it takes 9 months. To kill it even though it takes an on the spot. subsequently good issues take time, failures take an on the spot. faith without works is incomplete. God Bless

By turning from their false religion and accept Jesus as their personal Lord and Savior because Jesus is God.
