Muslim converts to Christianity in surprising way - Ahmed Abukar Testimony

when you heard this news that your mom had converted to christianity it shocked your your family your siblings included yeah it completely shocked me because uh it's something that is unexpected in the muslim community and so what was happening in your life at that time were you thinking okay i'll accept jesus i'll go in that direction or were you against it what were your thoughts the funny thing is i was just thinking about what other people would think that's it i was thinking what my family would think what my muslim friends would think i was thinking of all those times i went to islam school and and i had to memorize the quran what was that for it was for nothing you wasted our time mom like what is this so a lot of questions ran in my mind so what was your relationship with god for me it was more of what i can do for god i think the difference and i'm starting to realize that now as more as i follow jesus the difference was me trying to prove to god that i'm worthy so all my life i'm working and working trying to bring my good deeds up even though there was bad deeds i was trying to outnumber those badly by doing good deeds and and that was my relationship with god which came through you know five prayers and and memorizing the quran was one of them you know the more i memorized the more people knew that i knew the quran it it it was like okay god is accepting me that way and i'm going to continue doing that and you also talk about being focused on self you're focused on your career on you know accomplishing things and it was more focused on you than anything else yeah exactly and that actually happened when when my mom made that decision and she told me about her following christ i realized you know i came to conclusion you know what if she's not following christ i mean if she's not following islam you know what you know i can do whatever i want now because i'm not subjected anymore especially my mom's not doing that so what had happened was i went on my own road because i was on somebody else's road which is my family's road and since that broke i went on my own road and i started doing things that i wanted to do and i couldn't do because of my religion like what like things like you know coming to canada in a western world you have these imaginations in terms of you know partying and doing this and getting the girls so you build that up in your mind and when you come to a place to canada and you figure out that you have some kind of freedom you tend to f it's like a list that you go through you know and if i go through this list i'm going to be so happy because these people on tv look so happy so what happened is i had that list in my mind and i went for it so one night you come home and you're intoxicated yeah so i come home i was completely drunk and and you know it it i had that feeling of having the best night of my life that's that kind of feeling i came and walked in and i looked over and my mom was praying for me as i walked in this is like three four o'clock yeah so this is this is really early in the morning not expecting her to be awake and um so i see that and i think at that moment i realized it was more than just a motherly love there's something else that she is you know uh putting her faith in and and and i think that was that seed that mustard seed that god talks about is that little thing that you say you know what maybe there's something there so i come home and and i see that on her knees and it just changed my mind in in different ways right so so you decide to do something interesting so you prayed and you prayed to god to jesus you're just like you're just sending out a prayer yeah so what happened is like i came home one day and and i looked in the mirror i was actually you know getting ready to go for bed but i looked in the mirror and i was like this can't be it there has to be something more because every time i reach a desire or a goal it like fades away it never stays and i said you know what this can't be it because if i'm seeking something and i'm not getting it then that means something is wrong so i looked in the mirror and and and i said that to myself and then i went and said you know allah god whoever whatever it is i know there's something more show me show me something so i can seek that thing that that that's rather than something that's alive right so and that's what happened what happened so i'm expecting like a miracle i'm gonna change my life and i'm gonna become amazing but what happened was i started remembering sins and bad things that i did in the past and it was almost like my conscience revived right and it was like i felt bad and gross about the things that i did way back in the past even the things before my mom uh um changed right so and i remembered it doesn't matter how much good deeds i do those bad deeds are still there right it needs to be something needs to happen to those things in order for me to be ready for god so these things started coming up and i remember you know at work working coming down for smoke and i'm just why do i keep remembering things my conscience is like coming alive and it felt so weird and almost disgusted so i came home and and i went on my knees because i couldn't handle it anymore and and i and i and i went on my knees and i said god forgive me forgive me what i did and and i felt i felt the forgiveness from jesus christ so do you think as a muslim if you had prayed that prayer would you have felt that now all of those deeds are gone all that all that past sin is gone no what is the difference between jesus and the other faith that you had before there is there's the biggest difference and there's a lot of people who thinks that there's no difference it's a huge difference because what we do for god in islam we work to get the good to get good deeds so that it can weigh out the bad deeds that is a complete lie our god is perfect and he is awesome and he is the perfect judge and if your god is going to wink at your sin then he's not a god so the difference is that in christianity is that god did it and because he did it out of the abundance of god's love that's when you do your the good things that's why that's why you pray that's why you go you know and turn the other cheek and love the people that you that that usually don't love because god's love because he did this for you you forgive because god forgave you so it is the abundance of god's love and islam is more like i got to reach for god why you got to reach for god why you got to reach for god if if if if if god can't forgive you and you can just go to him without you know showing off or showing your good deeds right and so as you prayed that prayer all of those past sins are now on jesus they are laid at his feet you do not bear any of them ever again that's right how do you feel about that now the thing is you read you read the bible right uh a lot of times when we read the bible it's like a story right and it never comes to life and i think what happened to me throughout these three years i started realizing that the word of god is actually alive we're not reading just words jesus was alive he walked on this earth he is lord and he healed and he's healing right now he's healing people people are changing their minds i'm a testimony that my mom prayed and god changed my heart my brother my sister they all changed miracles everything we see that the bible says it happens and i want to like tell people that is that god is not dead he's here and he's actively healing and he's actually changing people right and so that's that's my three years is that the word of god is alive and as i'm reading the word and i see the change in my life i almost want to tell people that right so i think that that's what mainly the three years for me is that god's work becomes alive i want to encourage you at home that are watching especially parents you might be praying for that child that you're just like god please bring that person bring that child to jesus ahmed is a perfect example of god answering prayers and it might take years i know ahmed's mom was praying for him and his siblings for years but this is the fruition this is the fruit of her diligent prayer so don't give up i'm encouraging you ahmed's encouraging you keep praying for your children god hears you and he will answer your prayers the prayer lines are at the bottom of your screen 1-866-273-4444 and if you're watching and you just simply don't know jesus you have no idea who he is our prayer partners would love to introduce you to him today
