Seeking Allah, Finding Jesus has been one of the best book’s
I’ve come across in a long time. I love learning about other religions, I love
learning why others think and believe and how I could be a better
representative of Christianity to them and this book has equipped me with far
more than I expected.
Nabeel Qureshi shares his highly personal story, gives
readers an insight into his struggles, family life, and Islam. Nabeel’s account
gives Christians the opportunity to understand Islam like never before. It
shows areas where Muslims and Christians are in contention and gives arguments
why each believes they are correct.
Throughout Nabeel’s life, having lived all of it in either
U.K. or the U.S., he’s been in contact with Christians; but it wasn't until David,
a college classmate, appeared in his life that anyone has ever given him a
valid argument for Christianity. Has simply not anyone cared about his
salvation before? And why hasn’t anyone before David been able to defend their
faith in Jesus to him? Despite teaching me a lot about Islam, these questions
were a punch to my own gut, forcing me to wrestle with the thoughts whether I
could defend my faith to a Muslim, and to what degree?
This book spells out all the reasons why Muslims have such a
rock hard faith in their religion, but it also spills out all the problems they
have in defending their faith and the cracks they have in their foundation
compared to Christianity. Don’t misunderstand, this book is not only for
Christians, it’s as much for Muslims, or anyone else that is seriously
searching for answers. It does not bash Islam but it does ask the hard
questions and shows that Jesus is the answer.
Few books do as great a job teaching about another faith,
equipping the reader with verses, quotations, and findings that help in their
own spiritual journey and prepare a defense for one’s faith in Christ. Nabeel
is an inspiration and his story is spectacular. Thank you to Zondervan for
blessing me with a copy of this book.
