Christianity, Judaism, Or Islam - Which Has The Solution to the Worlds Problems - A lecture by Sheikh Ahmed Deedat at Acton Town Hall, U.K.

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.

  • As long as we're taking Bible verses out of context, how about when Jesus says eat my flesh and drink my blood John 6:56. It's obvious He promotes cannibalism right...?

  • @theonecom looooool siko siko talk is cheap but u are a prick and a fascist pig u and ur fat mum ooops shes dead

  • when was this

  • @dawahproject1

    Suck my toe you fascist prick

  • some rimes i think who will replace him

  • Paul of Tarsus, the author of 13 epistles of the New Testament:

    "This is a man who spent a good deal of his life martyring Christians (irony much?), until one day when he claimed that, in a flash of bright light, Jesus appeared before him and told him to repent. Every other time he talks of getting divine revelation, he typically goes into some sort of trance or is asleep.

    Nowadays, we would call him "crazy."

  • Matthew 15:22-23

    And, behold, a woman of Canaan came out of the same coasts, and cried unto him, saying, Have mercy on me, O Lord, thou son of David; my daughter is grievously vexed with a devil, But he answered her not a word. And his disciples came and besought him, saying, Send her away; for she crieth after us, But he answered and said, I am not sent but unto the lost sheep of the house of Israel.

    I'm sorry to tell you, that no salvation for you through Jesus

  • If you are not a Jew, then Jesus didn't come for you. Here is the context, you are follower of Paul the main 3/4 author of the "Holy" Bible , not Christ, Muslims are the true followers of Jesus.

    Matthew 10:5-6

    from the International Standard Version:

    These were the twelve disciples whom Jesus sent out after he had given them these instructions: "Don't turn on to the road that leads to the gentiles, and don't enter Samaritan towns, Instead, go to the lost sheep of the nation of Israel.

  • Please dont take the Lord Jesus' paraboles out of context. Read the whole chapter & understand what He is talking about.

    You have so many flaws in what you are saying I would love to sit down & correct you.

    Jesus was teaching His disiples a lesson about the sword, that he who lives by the sword shall die by the sword, "not to cut apples"(that was silly).

    Also you seem to forget that Jesus performed a miricle & put the Roman soldier's ear back on...

    Jesus loves you all, God bless!
