Seeking Allah, Finding Jesus: A Devout Muslim Encounters Christianity

Product Information

Qureshi accomplishes these goals powerfully. He explains the Islamic mindset, something anyone who witnesses or wants to witness to Muslims must understand if he or she hopes to be an effective apologist. By taking the reader through his own process of conversion, step by step, he outlines the arguments that were most convincing to him. If there is a book, that challenges an Islam faith to the root, without trying to hiding its strong points but also without compromising the weak cases. Born in the United States to Pakistani immigrants, Nabeel Qureshi grew up in a loving family, his religion one of the most consistent and beloved elements of his formative years. As a child and youth, he enthusiastically learned the facts and doctrines of his religion, eager to be an ambassador for Islam among his peers. Not until college did he meet a Christian who was willing to be his friend. As two young men passionate about their faiths, Nabeel and David often discussed religion. Through those discussions, Nabeel found his perception of Christianity and its flaws to be inaccurate. And in his efforts to disprove Christianity and confirm Islam, he also uncovers inaccuracies in his perception of Islam.

To conclude, if you enjoy theological debates, you'll enjoy this book (especially if you're Christian, I lowkey want to recommend this book to Muslim friends just to hear countering points for Qureshi's claims). It's definitely an educational look on Islam, Christianity, and faith in general. It's also an educational book- I learned quite a bit both about Islam and Christianity. By including so many theological debates, we get to see how each religion faces different questions and answers various challenges. Looks like I was right about whole sections of the Bible being interpolations. Bible scholars are saying that the end of Mark is not original, and neither the story in John about the woman caught in adultery. You know, the story where Jesus says, 'Let he who is without sin cast the first stone?" He was raised in a Pakistani-American Ahmadi Muslim family and came to faith reading the Bible to debate a medical school friend. He shared his testimony in his book, Seeking Allah, Finding Jesus, and in a 2014 issue of Christianity Today.

I read this book in three days, it was a fascinating insight into the Muslim faith. I have many neighbors of the Muslim faith in my area and Nabeel provided such a full understanding of this faith. I have gotten to know a few of them well and enjoy their friendship.

It was also encouraging to see how God used normal people in Nabeel’s life for His purposes. It reminds me that I can have an impact on others, even if it’s only a small one. I don’t have to write long, philosophical books or give eloquent speeches to change a life. Sometimes, all someone needs is a probing question or thought-provoking conversation to start them on the path of searching for truth.If you are a non-believer (of Christianity, in this sense), this book will help you to think critically (I mean it) about your own belief and not just holding on to a blind or lazy faith. If there is a book, that shows how bias a human being can be; no matter how knowledgeable and wise he/she is; when fierce questions are aimed towards his/her belief. As a result of the events of the events in Dearborn, [27] Acts 17 Apologetics became focused on "free speech, sharia in the West, and Islam." This led Qureshi to leave and start Creed 2:6 ministries, which focused on sharing the gospel. [28] Qureshi joined Ravi Zacharias International Ministries in 2013.

I found this book fascinating; one of the best books I've encountered in the past couple years. Although I came to this book with an understanding of Islam stemming from my life-long interest in the far east, I learned a great deal more of the heart of that religion, and what drives a devout Muslim. Needless to say, I highly recommend this book. The author is also a gifted writer, easily capturing the attention of the reader. I thought the questioning portion of Mr. Querishi's life one of the most interesting parts of the book. The debates and arguments which took significant place in the author's life when he was still seeking make up a significant part of this book. I find that they present some of the best ideas of practical discussions with people of the Islamic religion. I also learned so much about Islam, including the nuances between the different factions, which are not unlike our own denominations in Christianity. What I found really helpful was the discussion of common Muslim arguments used against Christianity, such as the swoon theory, and how to counter them. Nabeel is a gifted writer and storyteller, and he does a great job relaying information in an organized, easy-to-understand way so that you don’t feel lost and overwhelmed.
