MashaAllah a very informative talk
He came across as very intelligent and open minded. By Allahs grace he has done a good job of dawah here from a muslim point of view and im sure from a non muslim point of view too.

god bless you brother
thank you for sharing your story borther
salam
Mashallah
Mashallah
Truly inspiring rendition from Joshua Evans. Islam needs more testimonies like his. Allahu Akbar
In an attempt to put this to an end. There is a verse in the Quran which is wise in saying this:
“I worship not that which you worship,
Nor will you worship that which I worship.
And I shall not worship that which you are worshipping.
Nor will you worship that which I worship.
To you be your religion, and to me my religion”
So if you believe or want to believe then watch it and if not then move along – no need to exchange hateful words with one another since you’ve both made ur decisions
Have you read the Quran? I highly doubt it, so maybe you should put a lid on it until you do.
“caught up with entertainment and drinking and fornication”…maybe you should watch this video in its entirety before making points that have already been refuted. Joshua Evans addresses this point you have made in this speech.
Ok ONE! dont ry to tell me something out of the bible that you have NO IDEA! about and just hear a man say! All your doing is quoting him! if you really want to know about something enough to try to use it agaisnt me then why dont you go read it your self first!
Well he could be an agent!
Mentioning terrorist attacks everytime Islam is discussed is like…… mentioning Hiroshima/slavery everytime America is discussed…
Also, IfonlyI- how can you say he worships a false God, do you not worship the God that created Adam. He has chosen to educate himself and follow a differrent form of worship from Christianity, but that does not mean that you should mislead people and say that he worships a flase God.
To ifonlyIwereawesome- How can you say blind faith is the way to accept God? You have a brain that God gave you. You also have the ability to reason that God gave you. So why would you suggest that someone should not educate themselves and learn what God has sent us in order to learn how to worship him?
Salam , Peace
How come there are so many negative remarks from people claiming themselves to be christians remarking a brother who reverted to the Religion of all the prophets ??
Can it be because the truth sometimes is hard to face ???
Do please comment , but in an atmosphere of genuine respect.
a humble adam
I think the title of the video is very misleading….
first of all the term “former christian” is contradictory. A true christian would never leave the faith, therefore this man was never a christian to begin with, he even said himself he didn’t like going to church. If he became a muslim, well alright that was his confused decision to do so, but this men in no means was ever a christian to begin with.
ur Pastor which Bible did he trake as source ther r 100 thousand version of Bible, if Bible is God word thn y Church keep on Revising, y did God made mistake in the original one, the Mark/Luke/Mathew y so many different books were God confused when he revealed, dont get thing wrong we respect the ORIGINAL Bible and Definitely Jesus (a Muslim have to believe) but da books u hv now a days are edited & manipulated, read by your self dont let some body else interpret to u(let hv a discussion)
Even the Qu’ran says thats Jesus was the only perfect man! & this man is Confused! he should not inspire to be like other me! he should inspire to be Like GOD!
Actually my pastor has preached about noah’s acoholism! & Lot! & David & he’s taking some of these stories seriously out of contex! he’s not Telling the whole story! Man if only thiis guy could talk to my pastor! also te Bible was written by God!…he wrote it through men…this man is taking many things out of contex!. & I belive that he does not actually understand many of the things that he is saying! JESUS is the only way!
jazak Allah khair
I love the brother may Allah bless him
mashallah a great video with a so inspiring person mashallah god bless him it worth watching it
Sub7an Allah, so inspiring
masha Allah ! brother, we love you for the sake of Allah !
i very opset because a lot of poeple are they don’t have open minds they believe the stupid thing media says about islam
As a muslim, this has to be one of the most inspirational and enlightening talks I have ever had the priveledge of listening to. I have learned more about Christianity from the first 30 mintues than I have through learning about different religions.
I hope more people would listen to it with an open mind…
Honestly, I was very surprised too that the prophet Nuh was alcoholic (as it says in Bible) and than I was more surprised when I found out in Chapter Proverbs that alcohol is prohibited and that we have to stay away from alcoholic people…
