Where did Jesus said: I am God; Worship me!?
That is the most common question asked by Muslims if you share the Gospel with them.Many Christians unfortunately also don't know what to answer Muslims when they asked this question.
Well, the answer to this question is...
The Bible never records Jesus saying the precise words, “I am God.” That does not mean, however, that He did not proclaim that He is God.So...? What is the answer then?
Acts 17 Apologetics has written a very good and easy understandable Tract about this subject that can be downloaded to be used as a Bible study and to share with your Muslim friend.

On the Website «Got Questions» this Question "Is Jesus God? Did Jesus ever claim to be God?" is answered as follows...
The Bible never records Jesus saying the precise words, “I am God.”
That does not mean, however, that He did not proclaim that He is God. Take for example Jesus’ words in John 10:30, “I and the Father are one.” We need only to look at the Jews’ reaction to His statement to know He was claiming to be God. They tried to stone Him for this very reason: “You, a mere man, claim to be God” (John 10:33). The Jews understood exactly what Jesus was claiming—deity. When Jesus declared, “I and the Father are one,” He was saying that He and the Father are of one nature and essence. John 8:58 is another example. Jesus declared, “I tell you the truth … before Abraham was born, I am!” Jews who heard this statement responded by taking up stones to kill Him for blasphemy, as the Mosaic Law commanded (Leviticus 24:16).
