Seeking Allah, Finding Jesus by Nabeel Qureshi


The title is perhaps the best summary possible for the premise of this book. In Seeking Allah, Finding Jesus, Nabeel Qureshi details his journey from a lifelong devout Muslim to a man who supernaturally encounters Christ. Qureshi covers his younger years to explain how a child in a Muslim family is raised to revere and honor Muhammad as the true prophet of Allah.  

I found this book to be an excellent resource to gain a greater understanding of the Muslim faith. Qureshi includes many Muslim words and their definitions in his telling of his story and of his coming to faith in Christ. For someone who has limited knowledge of Muslims or their beliefs, this provided me a great basis for defending my faith in Christ to those who follow Allah. As someone raised in a small southern town, my experience with other religions of any kind was very limited. I thank Qureshi for his boldness to share his story and for giving a greater insight into this "foreign" world. I highly recommend this selection for anyone wanting a personal insight to the Muslim family and their faith.
