Filmed on the 16th of March, 1987 a rare and entertaining interview of Sheikh Ahmed Deedat with Ginna Lewis at the beginning of his Geneva tour, filmed for Freely Speaking International. As put by Ginna Lewis, ‘Our honour is very great today…’ the interview is as entertaining as any of Mr. Deedat’s discussions on comparative religion and by all means a ‘must watch’!

Sequel to Sheikh Ahmed Deedat’s lecture Christ in Islam that is available for you to watch as well, this is a one hour TV debate held to discuss some of the objections to Mr. Ahmed Deedat’s statements made during that Lecture.

In all good faith Sheikh Deedat does his best to clarify the questions and arguments raised by two born again Christians, Mrs. Irene Meilhon, a housewife and a very staunch Christian, and Mr. Jonathan Leach, a church Minister, and takes it a step further by answering all their questions with vivid examples from both Christian and Muslim scriptures.

Although intense in content this debate is examplary in the conduct of all participants and their patience in listening to the view points of one another and debating the topic in a healthy yet charged environment.

The only religion after Christianity that testifies that Christ is the Messiah, the appointed one, Saviour of the Jews at the time, who gave life to the dead, healed those born blind and the lepers by God’s permission, a man of miracles established by God on Earth, of miracle birth, born without any male intervention, is Islam. This talk given by Sheikh Ahmed Deedat helps clarify the Islamic standpoint of the status of Jesus in Islam and shares the truth of Jesus, the son of Mary.

Enlightening lecture by Sheikh Ahmed Deedat on the subject of Islam and Other Religions that highlights concepts common amongst Judaism, Christianity and Islam. A thirty minute lecture followed by an open question and answer session for the audience to participate freely. This lecture helps understand the Muslim point of view about God and Prophet Muhammad (may God’s peace and blessings be upon him).

A casual one-on-one discussion on the subject of the authenticity of the Bible and the Quran held almost three decades ago between Sheikh Ahmed Deedat and two learned Christian Missionaries. This is the first video program in the collection of video programs of Sheikh Ahmed Deedat as available from the Islamic Propogation Centre International in Durban, South Africa.

Considering Christian viewpoint on a topic of this nature it is a challenge for Christian viewers to watch a three hour debate on the subject of ‘Is the Bible the True Word of God?’ and to put to test the very book that they believe in and give it a litmus test of science, logic and reason.

Given that the topic is controversial and requires patience it should be born in mind that the debaters Pastor Stanley Sjöberg and Sheikh Ahmad Deedat take rounds pounding one another with adequate points in trying to challenge the opponent with their analysis and scripture. In a crowded auditorium, full of patient and impatient followers of Christianity and Islam this is one debate that brings out a lot of emotions as one watches it.

One of the most interesting moments of this debate is when one of the Muslim questioners asks Pastor Stanley Sjöberg to consume poison to prove a biblical verse that should render him immune to the poison and hands a bottle full of ‘liquid’ to him to test his belief in Christian scripture. Like any wise man yet quite cheekily Pastor Stanley avoids the challenge and loses his temper. This is further revealed in his next debate with Sheikh Ahmad Deedat and says that he was angered by this action and accuses Sheikh Deedat of a few saucy allegations (watch ‘Is Jesus God?’ Stanley Sjöberg, Sheikh Ahmed Deedat, Debate, Video for another fiery battle of wits).

Our intention is to publish material that helps people discover true faith and though we take such encounters as amusing moments in this history of Christian-Muslim exchange there is a greater lesson to be learnt and a greater objective of trying to understand the true meaning of the scriptures of God Almighty, the last one, the last testament being the Holy Quran.

We pray to Allah to bless his soul and to accept his work and efforts made in his life and to reward him the best in the hereafter and allow us to pray for him in days and times to come. Ameen, sumameen.

If anything today scares the ‘Westerner’ it’s the word ‘terrorism’ attached to ‘islam’ or ‘muslims’ and he doesn’t feel it one bit that all around us, the world is full of ‘terrorism’ by the ‘non-muslim’, one that is not labeled as such, one that is not brought to the forefront of newspapers and television channels and one that is not talked about on talk shows. Certainly this is an unjust campaign on part of certain elements of the media to malign Islam and Muslims by associating them to practices that are against the true spirit of their religion.

In this hard hitting and thought provoking lecture, Dr. Zakir Naik presents sound analysis and logically queries the subject of ‘Is TERRORISM a Muslim Monopoly?’ to bring about an understanding amongst the learned to view Islam in its true light and avoid the notion that whatever today’s media brings to us, we must accept and believe without sound proof.

Prejudice dies hard so it may not be easy for some of our viewers to accept every fact that Dr. Zakir brings forward, however we do urge you to see the entire program and enjoy it to the fullest! Do note that as always all programs are followed by a question answer session so please don’t miss all the interesting questions posed to Dr. Zakir Naik at the end of his lecture.
