This is the story of “sister ex-Muslim”. She was born and raised in Kuwait to a mixed religious Muslim family including both Shia Smiley (mother from India) and Sunni Islam (father from Lebanon). Her father was very strict and made his daughter wear the hijab at 8 years old. Secretly, sister ex-Muslim would follow her mother’s religion.
It created a stressful upbringing. If she didn’t pray, her father would hit her. If she did pray the Sunni prayers, her mother would hit her. Sister ex-Muslim was forced into a secret life hidden from both parents. As she was going through depression, not speaking with her mother for 5 years and trying to dig deep into the Qur’an, she cried out to God asking Him to take her out of the darkness. That night, she had a dream. Three times, she saw Jesus tell her “I am the light”. She googled what this meant and the verse said that by following Jesus, she would no longer walk in darkness. She brushed it off and preferred to be an atheist.
For 10 years, she believed there was no God. She met a Christian that suggested her to watch the Passion of Christ. She ended up watching it and was in tears. Then she got another dream, this time a demon that warned her not to say the name of Jesus. This is when it hit her that she had denied God for years, and now she understood what Jesus had done for her sins. She then decided to follow Jesus.

This is the story of Rasul (not his real name), born in Azerbaijan to a secular Muslim family. Islam was simply part of their identity. Growing up, all stories he learned included being only being a messenger that didn’t die. He never thought God could love him personally.
When Rasul was young, his friends gave him a stick to hit what they thought where rats in a very dark place. It turned out that they were kittens, and when Rasul’s mom learned about it, she beat him told him it was wrong and asked if Rasul feared Allah. This was the beginning of Rasul fearing Allah’s punishment. One night, Rasul got a dream. He was standing in a bright place full of peace. It was like a garden but unlike anywhere on Earth. Before him stood a man wearing radiant white. There was no fear, only warmth and peace. He looked at Rasul, and he felt safe. The experience felt more real than anything and he couldn’t stop thinking of it – the dream of Heaven and his connection to God.
Rasul started to have prophetic dreams, telling him things of the future. Small things like how much he would score in an exam, to bigger things like where he would be moving to. As a teenager, he was a typical Muslim boy that prayed and fasted. But deep inside he questioned, who Allah was whom he prayed to, in a language he couldn’t understand. He recalls a dream where there was a cake with his country name written on it. Rasul wanted to eat the first piece, but Jesus suddenly asked him to have that piece first.
When Rasul got sick, he started to watch debates – Islam vs Christianity. Something started to stir in his heart. One night, in tears, he prayed and asked who was the one speaking to him through the years. He asked for a dream to reveal God, and He did. Rasul was standing in a silent place holding two books – one had the Qur’an and the other hand the Bible. Then a voice told him to read, and Rasul would understand. Rasul went online and started to read the Bible for the first time. The Bible was completely different. Everything pointed to the Messiah. That night, he asked for one more confirmation to accept Jesus. For the first time in his life, Rasul didn’t pray to Allah or God, he prayed to Jesus. Rasul confessed all his sins, and even a past boss that was hard to forgive. Then the presence of God filled the room. He felt like fire or electricity down his body in a form of cleansing. He asked if it was Jesus, and He said ‘I am’. Rasul’s illnesses coincidentally got healed too. Rasul noticed that the dark dreams and sleep paralysis he had, also went away.
The meaning of the cake, he recalls, was to share Jesus with his people in Azerbaijan, which he currently does. Rasul learned that true love, always comes to rescue the one He loves. Jesus came to rescue him. Watch Rasul’s amazing testimony here!

Abraham shared the story of a woman. She was living in the streets, she was homeless because her husband was killed in the war. Abraham took care of her needs. She wondered why they would take care of her when she was a Muslim, not Christian. It turns out that she was the wife of an Imam. After 3 months watching them pray and worship God, she couldn't believe what she saw. There was a prayer meeting and people asked her what to pray for. She said she had 2 daughters that had disappeared. If they were found, it would be a sign from God. That evening, she got a call from one of her daughters. She was shocked and in tears. And she told her mother that her other sister was in Turkey but couldn't contact her because of ISIS.

This is the story of Juman Al Qawasmi from Qatar. Her father is one of the founding members of the Hamas in Gaza, Abu Jafar (real name Muhammad Kawasmi). Juman was married for 13 years to a member of Hamas as well.
She grew up hating Christians, Jews and Shia Muslims, to the point of desiring to kill them. She now feels sorry about looking at things this way, but that’s what the Qur’an taught her.
She started questioning Hamas in 2012, because they promised equality and every promise was broken. She even voted for them in 2006/2007. Gaza got worse under Hamas. Juman didn’t feel assurance of being able to go to Heaven. She always saw herself as not good enough for God. There was a friend that told her she had become atheist and asked Juman to read the Qur’an as a normal book. Muhammad married the wife of his adopted wife. This didn’t make sense. But Juman could not believe there wasn’t a God. She would pray to God asking to heal her children.
From 2012-2014 there was a war between Gaza and Israel. Her ex-husband was called. They bombed her neighbours house and she was very afraid. She asked God for help. And that night, she had a dream. She saw her mom, whom died many years ago. She was sitting at a balcony and looking at a big moon. Juman saw Jesus face in that moon. Jesus said in Arabic: “I am God, Yeshua. You are my daughter, don’t be afraid“.
Juman had never heard of Yeshua before, she only knew Jesus as Isa from the Qur’an. She had never met a Christian before. Juman felt peace for the first time, knowing that God loved her. She searched the name and it led her to an Egyptian Christian. The teaching “love your enemies” shocked her. She exchanged messages, and was told to read the Bible. She learned that many Muslims had dreams about Jesus. This journey led Juman to accept Jesus into her heart and become a Christian.
Juman sees the land promised to Israel. But she believes in living in peace. Hamas started bombing Israel. Israel still sent money to rebuilt Gaza, but Hamas refuses to have peace. Hamas took the money to build tunnels, a city under a city. Hamas never built a shelter for people nor for children. They use Palestinians as human shields.
Juman finishes by challenging viewers to not be afraid to think, to use their brains. Don’t take everything they (Hamas) says as a fact. Read history, open your mind. Who is the enemy? Hamas. Hamas is evil. They are teaching children as young as 4 and 5 to memorize the Qur’an and hate Israel. God gave us a brain to think and the Holy Spirit to seek for guidance.

Naeem Fazal was born into a Sunni Muslim family in Kuwait. He wasn't an extremist, but was very conservative. He grew up memorizing and reciting passages of the Qur’an.
Naeem's older brother had a chance to study abroad in the US. When he came back a year later, he appeared very different. Naeem’s brother revealed that he had become a Christian. Naeem confronted him and even had thoughts of killing his own brother.
Time went by and Naeem decided to go visit his older brother in the US. One day, they went out and watched a Christian movie together. It was Naeem's first time doing so, and after it, it made him rethink that there may be something to research about God in Christianity. He started to have some questions about his Muslim faith.
Naeem's brother told him that God would pursue him, if he would just ask him. Outwardly, Naeem thought that was ridiculous proposition. Inwardly though, he wondered, what if that could be true?
One evening, as he was going asleep, Naeem felt a very dark presence. A dark figure came in and communicated that it wanted to kill him. Naeem was very afraid and ran to his brother's room. Naeem just honestly told God he was afraid. Couldn't say Jesus was his Lord, but Naeem said he would follow Jesus if He could help. And a sense of peace came upon him. He somehow knew it was Jesus. Naeem repeated time and again that he accepted Jesus and read the sinner's prayer over and over again.
Today, Naeem has a challenge to people watching this video. Why not try to simply consistently, for a period of time, sincerely intend to SEEK GOD? Just like how God revealed himself to Naeem, he trusts that God will reveal Himself to you. Watch his testimony here.
Palestinian saved!
Husein's father is an Arab from Palestine. He grew up in a nominal Muslim household, but he started to be more dedicated to Islam as he was older. He felt strongly connected to the religion of Islam. He had a Christian friend who wanted to tell him about Jesus, but he rejected it.
A few weeks after that Husein was watching TV on Easter in the late 1970s when there was very limited programming. It turned out to be an evangelical show and suddenly, Hussein felt the Holy Spirit come to him with great power. And then immediately, he had a clear vision of Jesus Christ. The revelation showed him something completely opposite to his belief. Jesus was unquestionably the Son of God. Seeing Jesus felt like seeing an old friend. The emptiness he had felt in his heart all his life was suddenly gone. Husein knew that this had to be the truth.
The day came when Husein had to face his dad regarding his new faith. His dad asked him if he was a Muslim. He was reminded then that in the Bible, it says that if you deny Jesus, He will deny you before the Father also. So Husein had to tell his father the truth that he no longer was a Muslim. Husein's dad kicked him out of the house as a result, and he went to live with his mother. God has modified Husein’s original desire to tell Christians about Islam, and turned it into a passion to tell Muslims about Jesus! Watch his testimony here.
Kuwaiti saved!
Adel is from Kuwait. He used to be very rich, but the invasion of Iraq in the nineties changed everything. He had to flee the country with his wife and children. He became broke because of the war, but he needed money to enroll his children to study. The only place that was free for children to study was at a church. So reluctantly, he sent them there. Yet the church was not what he originally expected. People prayed to Jesus, they worshipped and had a lot of joy. People were so nice that Adel wanted to convert them to Islam so that they would not go to Hell. Even though Adel often argued and verbally abused them, the response to him was always love.
He opened a shop with the little money he had. One day he was short of 50 dinars for rent. The landlord demanded it be paid. Adel was anxious because no customers came to buy items from him. Sitting on a chair, he felt inclined to look down. He saw a wooden cross on the floor. He then remembered how people prayed at a church. So Adel pleaded, Jesus if you are real, please help me. Immediately, a friend of his came and unexpectedly gave him $100 USD, which was more than what he actually needed. This incredibly answered prayer moved Adel to read the Bible and he accepted Jesus.
His wife hated this decision. She felt so repelled and disgusted that she even split their small room with a curtain. Adel’s wife said that he was an infidel and she wanted nothing from him. So Adel prayed fervently for 6 months. One day, Adel asked his wife to pray to the one true creator God for the truth. The next day, Adel’s wife excitedly told Adel about a dream she got. She dreamt she was going to be buried by four people, and was wearing a black clothing and a veil. There was a pond and was told to wash in order to go back to life. She did, and surprisingly came out wearing white clothing instead. Adel explained that the darkness was her sin, and that Jesus is able to cleanse her of her sins. She believed.
Today, Adel’s son is a pastor and his two other children serve with him the God who saved them. Watch his amazing testimony in Gulf Arabic with English subtitles!
