Deedat's Encounter With Christian Missionaries - Sheikh Ahmed Deedat

A British and an American missionary engage in a lively discussion with Sheikh Ahmed Deedat - out to prove that the Bible is the final revelation of God. However, when Sheikh Deedat delivers his version of the story, the two men are left in bewilderment!!!

Sheikh Ahmed Deedat:
In 1986, the King Faisal Foundation awarded the King Faisal International Prize for SERVICE TO ISLAM, to a South African who is more or better known than many dignitaries in their own countries. This was the first time that this prestigious award has been awarded to a South African. The recipient of this award was a man totally dedicated to his faith and its propagation and who was not afraid to challenge any one to a debate to settle once and for all the matter, who has the good news right? He was none other than Sheikh Ahmed Deedat, reverently known and called UNCLE by those who hold him in high esteem and admiration.

The award came after a lifetime of struggle to propagate Islam and to defend Islam against the onslaught of the missionaries. Finally, he was given recognition by the international Muslim community that he deserved and focused more sharply the attention of the Muslim world on the most important aspect of his work, the challenge to propagate Islam. This was his life long ambition to focus the Muslim world's attention and resources on the propagation of Islam, and at last he succeeded. What a moment of jubilation, achievement and personal gratification for Sheikh Deedat the award was, a turning point in his life.

Sheikh Deedat did not have much formal schooling, but he was self-taught through experience and a penchant for reading, debating, discussion, and a profound sense of commitment to a mission and goal. He was driven and goal oriented. He was focused and never let up until the job was done. He was sharp, perceptive, forthright, fiery, and daring in his challenge of those whom he debated, particularly against those who equal his missionary zeal and sense of audacity. Formal schooling did not destroy his creative prowess, his tenacity, ambition, drive, and sheer daring to swim upstream.

Sheikh Deedat was more a scholar of the Bible than the Qur'an, and was more familiar and adroit with its teachings. He had an insight and perspective of the Bible which made many Christians he came into contact with rethink and re-examine their faith, particularly those aspects of the Bible and the Qur'an that deal with the divine mission and life of Prophet Jesus.

On May 3, 1996, Sheikh Ahmed Deedat suffered a stroke which left him paralyzed from the neck down, and also meant that he could no longer speak or swallow. He was flown to a hospital in Riyadh, where he was taught to communicate through a series of eye-movements. He spent the last nine years of his life in a bed in his home in Verulam, South Africa, encouraging people to engage in da'wah. He continued to receive hundreds of letters of support from around the world. During these years, rumors spread throughout the Internet that he was already dead, and even some websites that contained his pamphlets mentioned as early as 2002 that he was dead.

On August 8, 2005, Ahmed Deedat finally succumbed to his prolonged illness and died at his home in Trevennen Road, Verulam in the province of KwaZulu Natal.

I don't understand how or where in your Qur'an it gives you the right to insult Christians, on a public forum for all eyes to see.

Is that the way of Islam? Who gives you that right? Allah? Mohommed?

That is one reason why I would never want to become Muslim - I don't like the idea of putting down people.

watcher4234, there are those who are ashamed and afraid of the truth. If you're truely insulted by this video, I appologize. But, if you feel that you're insulted because Sheikh Deedat's arguments makes you ashamed and/or afraid of your belief system, then I wont appologize and I would advise you not to become a Muslim.

Ahmad Deedat, rahmatullah alaihi, dropped an elbow from the top rope and drove those two blind-bat's heads through the canvas. The dope's thumbing through the Bible in the back must of created some ruthless blisters. Ahmad's knack of making Christians return to the drawing board is proof of the truth of the message of Islam.

@watcher4234 There are always black sheeps in every community.

Read your Bible, Who does Jesus refer to when he uses the word pigs and dogs?

[watcher4234]

@shakirshuvo I feel insulted when Muslims call Christians 'dogs' and Jews 'big nosed.'

[watcher4234]

@Reinabil I've heard with my ears and seen with my eyes Muslims call Christians and Jews 'dog' and 'big-nosed'. Disgusting.

@watcher4234

We muslims are not provoking you guys...It is our duty to correct you when you're wrong...WHY? BECAUSE we LOVE you...and we will do whatever it takes to deliver the message...We are doing everything thing we can to save your lives.

@watcher4234

My dear Brother, you are right, no Muslim, actually no human being has the right to insult others and it does not matter if the one is a Muslim himself, a Jew, a Christian or Buddhist.

And NO, that is NOT the way of Islam and nobody give us the right to offend others.

But you gave the Answer yourself,

these are faults of people.

People get emotional and diss.

Because we Muslim claim to have the last Revelation.

But i excause for the behavior of some of my Muslim Brothers. :)

[SuperZorro92]

hhahah I love Deedat

He raped them both XD

[laharl46]

When Jesus said my god my god why have you forsaken me?I ask who was he talking to? himself? Can you say the three are one? No this proves jesus being divine could work is if he is another god. Which Christians consider that blasphemy. What I hate about any missionary is that they aren't out to hear your side they are only out convert.

I am Christian and have questioned and I wouldn't convert a Muslim because Jewish and Muslim doctrine seems more sound. I believe Deut6:4 over the trinity

[hafizf86]

Amazing.... to witness the ignorance and illogical reasoning that drives these Christians to worship a man.

They worship the creation and not the creator, so it makes sense that the christian faith is dwindling by the numbers.

Islam is the fastest growing religion in the world.... because when truth collides against falsehood, it shatters falsehood and leaves it unconscious on the roadside.
