About this deal

his saga needs to be read far and wide, by all people who value truth and who ache to know God personally. According to the Qur’an,the social differences are recognized to show greatness of the Creator and not to show the superiority among one another in terms of colour, language, religion or race.

Qureshi is no intellectual slouch, finishing college in the top 1% a year early and then graduating from medical school. Worship was supposed to be a solemn, reflective time of bonding between man and God, yet these people were banging on drums and asking for money. Very thorough in his analysis, Nabeel starts by challenging the validity of the New Testament, the crucifixion, whether Jesus was really God, and finally the case for the gospel. Then he does the same with Islam, starting with analyzing the truth about Muhammad and the holiness of the Quran.Regardless of what one may think about this book, I hope all can see it as a new conversation starter on the similarities and differences between Christianity and Islam. Christianity Today heralded Qureshi as one of “33 Under 33” in its cover story on emerging religious leaders in July 2014. I find that they present some of the best ideas of practical discussions with people of the Islamic religion. I really loved the window this book provided into a loving Muslim family and this was one of the most gripping parts of the book.

Qureshi recounted that he had been happy with his faith and with his Muslim community and did not want to leave it, but he ultimately converted to Christianity after years of dialogue with Wood. Qureshi describes the life of religious Muslims in a way that I hadn't seen before- with a lot of detail, care and honesty. Muslims are supposed to be a doctrinal or ideological universal community, united through the entire world by their faith in thinking, feeling and action.Ever the seeker of truth and knowledge, he obtained an MD from Eastern Virginia Medical School, an MA in Christian Apologetics from Biola University, an MA in Religion from Duke University, and an MPhil in Judaism and Christianity from Oxford University. What usually is at issue is the fact that Nabeel's ultimate decision to convert was due to dreams he had had.

It was eye-opening to me to discover how things I had taken for granted Muslims knew about their own religion - like the compilation of a single quran and the suppression of all other versions under the Caliph Uthman, or some of Muhammad's more questionable actions - could be unknown to a sincere and lifelong Muslim. Nabeel focused on the foundations of the Christian faith, ancient Judaism, early Islam, and the interface of science and religion. David's ability to question Nabeel while still being a fun and awesome friend is a real challenge to me. Packed full of apologetic tools and invaluable insights into Islamic culture and worldview (eg the honour/shame culture), this book was most valuable to me as a glimpse inside the life and worldview of a sincere Muslim on his way to finding Christ. Summary: In the first two parts of the book, Nabeel describes his childhood years in Scotland and the United States.

As a second generation child, he really pinpoints the arduous middle ground of multiculturalism, of having Western culture and Eastern culture together. Nabeel’s story encourages me that when it seems like our efforts to reach the lost fall on deaf ears, God is working beneath the surface, even if I can’t see it. All Muslims through the practices, disciplines, and teachings of Allah share differences, but there are ambiguities among the sects and depending on which sect you believe, the others may be viewed as infidels.

Yet, there are differences to these two religions such as the founder of the religion and how it came to be, the views of God, and the salvation between both religion. Following the release of his first book, Seeking Allah, Finding Jesus, he received the Christian Book Award for the categories of both ‘Best New Author’ and ‘Best Non-Fiction’ of 2015. Nabeel Qureshi's Muslim Father Thanks Thousands Who Have Supported Family in Wake of Son's Death (Video)" . It covers many of the common arguments that Muslims have in relation to the Bible and other crucial aspects of the Christian faith.Engaging and thought-provoking, Seeking Allah, Finding Jesus tells a powerful story of the clash between Islam and Christianity in one man's heart---and of the peace he eventually found in Jesus. In this book, he left a beautiful and thorough testimony and one I pray his parents and sister will read and embrace too. You’ll also be able to utilize my library for looking up titles to see whether the book you’re thinking about reading next has any objectionable content or not. Jesus, referred to as Prophet Isa in Islam, is considered to be a messenger of God and al-Masih (the Messiah) in the Islam religion . So many apologetics books are antiseptic, but real life is gritty and there are real consequences to changing worldview.
