An Unexpected Journey from Islam to Christianity

In Seeking Allah, Finding Jesus, Nabeel Qureshi describes his dramatic journey from Islam to Christianity, complete with friendships, investigations, and supernatural dreams along the way.

Providing an intimate window into a loving Muslim home, Qureshi shares how he developed a passion for Islam before discovering, almost against his will, evidence that Jesus rose from the dead and claimed to be God. Unable to deny the arguments but not wanting to deny his family, Qureshi’s inner turmoil will challenge Christians and Muslims alike.

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.

"I have seldom seen such genuine intellect combined with passion to match ... truly a 'must-read' book."

–Ravi Zacharias

Utterly Beautiful

Reviewed in the United States on January 20, 2017

What a beautiful book.

Nabeel Qureshi opens to us the beauty of a devout Muslim family, their whole lives ordered by their faith and their traditions. Their love for Allah and for one another is palpable in the pages of this book. It is a beautiful picture and one I am grateful to Nabeel for sharing.

Then Nabeel takes us step by step through his search for truth; a search he begins with complete confidence that he will confirm the claims of Islam. For myself, I was reliving the search I had pursued forty five years ago, when my embrace of existentialism had left me so empty and purposeless that I had to reconsider the claims of Christ, just in case they might be true. I found myself anticipating each next step in Nabeel's intellectual journey, as each critical aspect of the truth of Christianity was substantiated by his investigations. I knew in advance what he would find and what he would conclude, because I had walked the same path and reached the same conclusion: the claims of Christ are confirmed by history, science, and reason, if you approach them objectively, seeking to know the truth, instead of seeking to prove your already-held beliefs.

But I also knew the feeling Nabeel expressed at the end of his intellectual journey. A rational conclusion still leaves an unsatisfied heart. To conclude that history sports the claims of Christ is not the same thing as knowing Christ as Savior and Lord. And just like Nabeel, I asked God for a supernatural confirmation of my intellectual conclusions. And just like He had done for Nabeel, God condescended to grant my desire by specifically answering prayer requests that only God himself could provide. I even experienced to a degree Nabeel's family conflicts, though for me it was my mother's amazement and bitter disappointment with my choice after college of seminary instead of medical school.

This is an utterly beautiful story of a devout Muslim's search to know Allah and his astonished discovery of Jesus. As I read Nabeel's description of his joy and relief as the beauty of Christ and Christ's love for him flooded his soul, my own eyes were filled with the same tears of joy and amazement.

Read this book! And as you read it, may God grant you the joy of knowing Him and His salvation.

A Wonderful Book for anyone Interested in the Muslim/Christian Dynamic!

Reviewed in the United States on June 11, 2015

Verified Purchase

Religion is always a touchy subject, with everyone having an opinion on the topic. So depending on where you're at in your religious journey this book will either agree or disagree with you.

Nabeel Qureshi is a man who was raised in America in a Muslim home. Extremely intelligent, he learned all about his faith from day one, and used his knowledge to speak to and mostly trip up those around him who claimed to be Christians. Most of the Christians were that in name only, and really didn't know much about their faith, so it was fairly easy for Nabeel to set them back on their heels. It wasn't until college that Nabeel finally ran into a Christian who did know what he was talking about, and was able to supply real answers to Nabeel's questions. This set Nabeel on a multiyear search to see what really was true and false, not only about Christianity, but also about the Muslim faith. It was after this long search that Nabeel finally concluded that Christianity could support everything it said about itself, whereas the Muslim faith could not.

As I stated earlier, religion is a touchy topic, and each person's faith in whatever religion they practice, tends to set blinders up towards any other. If you choose to follow Nabeel's journey, it just may take the blinders off of you, and make you question you're own faith, and how strong it is. This book will also give you a good starting background on the Muslim faith, the various facets of it, and the earthly price that you may pay if you were raised in it, then reject it.

If you're at all interested in Nabeel's journey from Muslim to Christianity, this is the place to start.

A Must Read for Understanding - Everyone - Jews, Muslims and Christians should all read this!

Reviewed in the United States on May 28, 2015

Verified Purchase

This is a must read for everyone now, given current events. It is so well written and is compassionate toward Muslims and Christian people and each faith. There is really deep, enlightening, earth-shattering, and factual information about Islam that brings great clarity to the differences and attitudes about Christianity.

I was born an American Christian, then in my late teens and early twenties was infused in Persian and Arab cultures. I began studying the peaceful and mystical-side of Islam, which is Sufism. Along with having great friends and in-laws teaching me all of the positives of Islam, I eventually considered myself as a Muslim. Their attitudes were that Jews, Christians and Muslims are all 'people of the book' and 'sons of Abraham,' so we should all get along and protect each other.

For about 20 years, I had a lot of internal conflict and pull between the two religions. This was due to my foundation of Christianity and especially, when going back to study more about Christianity and understanding the Gospel as historical, factual, documented events, and accepted Christ.

This book was extremely helpful for me as it addressed and dissected every false teaching that I had received from my dear Muslim friends about Islam and about Christ. I felt like it was written to me and had many moments where I literally got goosebumps and clear vision about what is going on in the world today. When I was studying and originally accepting Islam, I did not think there was such a big difference between the religions, but after getting deep into each, I can see that there are very big differences and this book helped cement that understanding.

I could not stop reading it and was up until about 2:30am to finish the book. After reading it, I opened a really big study bible of mine just for some kind of comfort and exactly landed on the verse that is a huge turning point for Nabeel and is on the cover of this book!

It is an amazing read and I am grateful that the book was recommended to me. I passed this book along to a friend of mine that had no real exposure to Islam or these cultures and she felt the same way about how it was so captivating and one of those books that you cannot put down.

Courageous March towards the Call of the Heart

Reviewed in India on September 7, 2017

Verified Purchase

I picked this book more out of curiosity after reading the reviews. I am a non-muslim and a non-Christian so I did not know much about either religion. So, I hoped reading this book will give a peek into both of these major religions in the world. Nabeel Qureshi did not disappoint me.

I could divide this book into three sections. (i) The authors life as a Muslim, defending his religion by questioning the Christian faith (ii) His extensive research on the fundamental truths of Islam (iii) His moment of Truth and embracing Christianity. All three parts are done very well especially the first two sections and the final section shows his commitment to follow his heart no matter at what cost.

Briefly,

The author being born as Muslim gives an excellent outlook of his religion. I was so captivated in knowing the different Islamic terms of praising Allah and invoking Allah in all the acts, the names of the five prayers a Muslim does, the direction in which the prayer is offered (pointing towards Medina) and so on. Coming to the authors life, he is raised in a perfect Muslim set up and follows the traditions so impeccably and he is encouraged by his parents to consider himself as an ambassador of his religion. He holds this dear to his heart.

Being an Americanized Muslim, he runs into many of his Christian mates and while ascertaining the superiority of Islam over Christianity, he questions their faith by pointing out the general claims of Muslim against Christians. The challenge he poses as a Muslim to his friend who is a Christian is that 1. Jesus was not crucified (they have the swoon theory or the substitution theory). 2. His resurrection (gains no validity if Jesus had not actually died by the crucification). 3. Divinity of Jesus (He is the son of Man, so he is a mortal man). Apart from this the author poses challenges to his Christian friend about the triune theory (Father, Son and the Spirit) and finally how it is possible that our sins are washed away by one man’s (Jesus) Crucification in the cross. Well, he gets convincing replies to all the above queries from the gospels with historical evidence which he could not deny.

Failing to nail Christianity by these queries, he moves to ascertain the superiority of Islam by bringing out the sanctity of Prophet Muhammed, and the Holy Quran. But when he tries to speak about the Prophet he realizes he knew nothing about the prophet’s life except what he was taught and that doesn’t answer many of the questions his Christian friend had. So, when he does an extensive study of Prophet’s life, and the Holy Quran, to his horror he realizes that the life of Prophet Muhammed is not sanctified as he was portrayed and the Quran he was taught is a filtered one (and not as he was told, that it is not altered to this day and carried forward from Muhammed) Like a methodical scientist, he questions, examines every bits and pieces and the final picture he gets about Islam shatters him.

The final section, I would say, his acceptance to Jesus and the emotional upheavals he suffers requires courage. Only a person who is courageous, who is willing to follow the call of the heart, one who is willing to die to know the Truth can make a decision like what the author has made. He boldly proclaims his new faith much to the Chagrin of his family. By going against his original religion in which he was born and to his new-found faith, he asserts his intention to follow the Truth no matter at what cost. This indeed requires tremendous will power and emotional strength which the author portrays so touchingly. As a human being, I could resonate with his emotional upheaval. But he overcomes that by his Love to Jesus. A wonderful book.

Courageous; a sincere search of one man that may open the door for many more

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on May 16, 2016

Verified Purchase

Human do not need to do anything extraordinarily to write a great book as long as the power of God shines through. I have read a few Christian testimonies, autobiographies and biographies. Some write better than others but every one of them without exception is a good read. When the power of God is coming through the pages, it is guaranteed to be a good story because God cannot write bad stories, given God can only do wonders!

The gospel may be the same but everyone's salvation is unique because our God is a personal God. Philippians 2:12 says that we have to work out our own salvation. This book records the journey that Qureshi made. Our stories may be different but all Christians are brought to the same place - that is, at the foot of the Cross, broken, crying, wailing, utterly helpless but eternally grateful for the message of grace and God's mercy. The cost of the Cross is not to be taken lightly but the weight of the truth and Christ Himself give us the strength to bear it.

This book is no exception as a wonderful testimony but it has much more to commend for. Qureshi's quest for the truth was sincere. His journey leads us into the heart of a Muslim trying to reconcile his Muslim upbringing with the truth of Christ. He gave God a fair hearing, let evidence speak and let reason take hold of his mind. Yet his heart is not ready to go where the mind is. That takes time, the Holy Spirit and personal encounters with God. When Christ became irresistible to Qureshi, it was hard and very painful as the step tore him apart from the life he had always known and the family whom he loved. It was very moving.

Qureshi documents his journey of finding out the facts of both Christianity and Islam, not from a viewpoint of a know-all scholar but as a genuine seeker. This part of the book is very informative, as I have never known what and how a Muslim is taught. It gives me insight into their belief system and the resources that are available to them. It does improve my understanding of Muslims and how they think. How Qureshi places the details of Islam in the context of his personal quest for the truth makes the presentation of Islam digestible. It has never become onerous in this book. Instead it is fascinating.

This book therefore is very helpful for us all indiscriminately as we are bound to meet some Muslims in our life. This book reveals some of the key prejudices they have been taught and programmed against Christianity. Those were the arguments that Qureshi needed to take down himself to reach the truth. His experience therefore will prepare and equip us to reach out to Muslims. This is a must-read for every one. At the start of the book, Qureshi described how lonely he had been at school until he went to college. He wondered why no Christians approached him to talk about Jesus if they believed Him and were prepared to see to him go to hell, does it mean that Christians do not love him? That really gets me. Because of my ignorance, I never know how to approach them. I often assume that they are devout and therefore they are certain of their faith. The implication of challenging their faith is also too huge. But this is a wrong assumption as devout Muslims can be in turmoil inside as Qureshi's experience has shown us. If they are to question their faith, they almost certainly have to do it alone as the tradition does not allow them to question. It would be a real support for them if there are Christians whom they can turn to outside their circle who can act as a sounding board and understand their struggle.

Finally I think we have to see how courageous Qureshi is in writing all these down. His finding leads him to the conclusion that he cannot build an objective case for Islam. In a society that stresses tolerance, we probably would hesitate to criticise Islam. I wonder if he has received death threats as a result of this book and what was his parents' reaction when this book was first published? For us, we don't need to speak it, but will we have the courage to give this book to a Muslim friend, say? Will that be welcome or will that be offensive? To an open minded Muslim, this book is a dynamite. This therefore is a marvellous tool that can be used in many ways. The question is if we have the courage to do so. May God guide us.

An inspiration

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on August 30, 2017

If you want an insight into what Muslims really believe, this is an excellent book. It shows how they think and what Islam means to them. Nabeel Qureshi was brought up in a very strict Muslim home, with tenderness and love. But meeting up with Christians at College challenged what he believed and made his re-examine the Koran finding it was not as he was led to believe. Eventually after much soul searching he believed what the Bible said, and became a believer in the Lord Jesus Christ. Believing Jesus was raised from the dead, something Muslims would never consider. As a result he was dismissed from his family and suffered greatly for his faith. He is now a recognized preacher of the Gospel and evangelist.

This book is a great encouragement to those of us who seek to bring people to the Lord Jesus, and is very challenging in how to care for those outside of Christ.

RIP Nabeel Qureshi. At 34 years old he has gone to be with the Lord. Reading this book gave me the encouragement that with God nothing is impossible. God used David to plant the Gospel seed and water it for Nabeel, but ultimately it was God who caused it to grow. Nabeel was brought up in a Muslim family, was versed in the Quran but there was still something missing. When he encountered David in college, it would not be long before he began studying more about his own faith in attempt to try and refute arguments about the Lord. Yet, in doing this God would eventually reveal His glory to Nabeel. What strikes me about this book is you can feel the emotion of what Nabeel went the out. For instance, the rejection he experienced by other family members. But it was too late to turn back! Nabeel had that thirst for the Lord and was prepared to even lose His life for the sake of Christ. GOD BLESS brother, see you in heaven.

This is not an easy, lazy book to read

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on September 28, 2016

This is not an easy, lazy book to read. The author writes almost forensically about his Muslim faith and about all the rituals and the beliefs involved. We learn how difficult it is to leave the faith of your ancestors, for Islam is not just a religion; it governs the whole life of its members. The author comes from a loving, close-knit family, and he is devastated when he finds that his religion is not all it is cracked up to be. It is a painful process, but eventually he comes to realise that there is a real God, and that Jesus is not just the son of God, but is God himself.
