This Pakistani man grew up in a conservative Muslim family. He was taught that calling Jesus the Son of God was the greatest sin any Muslim could ever commit. He grew up wanting to do his best for Allah.
He left the country and got into business. Many of his colleagues where Christians. This naturally created some conflict. He would often tell his colleagues that the Bible had been corrupted. Although he received an invitation to attend church, he declined. One time, he was invited to a huge business conference with around 20 thousand people. It so happened that it took place right after a Sunday church service. So if one attended the church service, they could stay and have a front row seat to the business conference. So he decided to attend the church service in order to get a good seat for the following business conference. The person that spoke told people Jesus is the Son of God, and it offended him. He called people to accept Jesus and the Pakistani man mistakenly was the first one up because he intended to correct the preacher. When he wanted to correct his mistake by returning to his seat, he wasn’t able to because there were hundreds of people behind him and he was stuck.
His friends congratulated the Pakistani man on his conversion, but instead, he said he would never call Jesus the Son of God.
Interestingly, what the Pakistani man found incredible was how many people had responded to the message of the Christian preacher. So he wanted to learn and adopt the Christian invitation pattern, and turn that into inviting people into Islam and accept Muhammad as the final prophet. So as a business man, he wanted to learn from the Christians how 'they did it'.
So as he attended another church service with the purpose to learn and apply it to Islam, he heard another call to accept Jesus. So once again, he stood up. But suddenly, he was all alone as in a vision. The Pakistani man felt the power of God manifesting in him. He had many questions. He said 'God why are you here, among people that are blaspheming you calling Jesus the Son of God?' Unexpectedly to him, an audible voice answered, saying 'No, these are my children', repeating this statement three times.
Something that felt like scales fell off from his eyes. The experience made him walk forward and ask Jesus into his heart, something that he thought he would never do.
He received a Bible and he read as much as he could every day. One day, when he woke up, he felt the presence of God come to him. This time He said 'I love you son' three times. All he had wanted was to be a servant of Allah, and now he had a close relationship with God himself, like that of a son and a father. He opened the Bible and the Word felt like it got out and was written unto his heart. Time flew by as he spent a full day and a half reading God’s Word without eating nor sleeping.
