Bible and chair in front of fire

A Pakistani Muslim finds Jesus Christ

This testimony was sent by Azali, who is from the Islamic Republic of Pakistan. Azali was an ardent follower of Mohammed until the seeing the results of a challenge he laid out before some Christian students. The testimony describes how this man was converted to the saving knowledge of Jesus Christ as his Lord and Savior.

And He said unto them: “Go into the world, and preach the gospel to every Creature.” (Mark 16:15)

When I was 14 years old, I was studying in a convent school at Saddar Karachi Pakistan. I belonged to a Muslim family. My parents forced me to learn the Qur’an by heart when I was seven and so I did. I had a lot of Christian fellows (or acquaintances) at school.

I was surprised to see them studying while I always found Christians of low profile in the society. I discussed and argued a lot with them about the accuracy of Qur’an and rejection of Bible by Allah in Holy Qur’an. I always forced them to accept Islam. Often my Christian teacher told me not to do so. He said,

“God may choose you as he chose the Apostle Paul.”

I asked them,

“Who is Paul; I know Muhammad only.”

One day during our discussion I challenged them to burn the Holy Books of each other. They should burn the Qur’an and I should do the same with the Bible. We agreed:

“The book which would burn, would be false. The book, which would not burn, has the Truth in it. God Himself would save His Word.”

Unfortunately, they were not ready to do this because they were frightened. Living in an Islamic Country and doing such a thing could lead them to face the law and meet its consequences. I told them I could do this by myself.

First, I set the Qur’an on fire, and it got burnt before our eyes. Then I tried to do the same with the Bible. As soon as I tried it, the Bible struck my chest and I fell on the ground. There was smoke all around my body. I was burning, but from a spiritual fire.

Suddenly I saw a man with golden hair, wrapped in light on my side. He placed his hand on my head and said to me

“You are my son and from now on you will preach the Gospel in your nation. Go! Your Lord is with you.”

Then I saw the stone on the grave, which was removed. Mariam Magdalene spoke to the gardener who probably took the body of my Lord. The gardener was Jesus Himself. He kissed the hand of Mariam and I woke up. I felt very strong as if when someone would strike me, I could not be hurt.

I went home and I told my parents about all what happened. But they did not believe it. They thought that the Christians got me under magic, but I told them that all this happened before my very own eyes and that many people were watching this. They still did not believe, and they turned me out of my home and refused to accept me as their family member.

I went to a Church close to my home; I told the Father there all about what happened. I asked him to show me the Bible. He gave me one and I read about the event of Mariam Magdalene and I accepted Jesus Christ as my Savior on 02-17-85.

My Family refused to accept me. I went to various churches and got more knowledge about the Word of God. I also followed many Bible Courses and then I got a ministry.

Now after 20 years, I have seen many people come to the Lord and accept Jesus Christ as their Savior. Thanks to the Lord, I am now married and have a Christian family. Me and my wife Khadija are involved in the work of the Lord and able to share the miracles God has been doing in our lives.

Even though it is not easy, and we face many hardships, we feel like Paul who went through hardships and suffering for the Glory of His Savior, who went Himself through suffering during His walk on earth and on the cross. We thank God the Father for sending His Son to this earth and giving us free life through Him.

We thank God for His Spirit who encourages us day by day to live for Him. E-mail : Azali5059457 dot msn dot com / azalikhi at aim dot com
