Chapter 1: Early life and Islamic roots
I was born in the southern part of Iran in a city called abadan born in a Muslim family sh had Muslim family my grandfather was a Muslim leader and he had 19 children and out of 19 children he had 84 grandchildren and obviously he had to choose one to carry the spiritual pattern of the life and the teachings for for for the Next Generation he asked and he he had obviously there had been some things that some some things had happened some accidents that I should have been killed but every single time before danger was coming toward me I saw the silhouette of a person that that always was there and I spoke of it openly to others and my grandfather took that sign obviously that there is the the spiritual leaders of Islam are over looking over this this boy and protecting him so he gave me a very close attentions and he taught me all the things I knew about Islam I joined the Hezbollah I I was in that Army for about 3 years I was studying Quran extensively then my grandfather actually saw this seed in my heart that I should share Islam with the poor misled Christians you know that have gone astray and obviously remind and be a spiritual leader to our family outside
Chapter 2: Imprisonment and spiritual quest
Iran I traveled to Malaysia where I was caught with 30 illegal passports put in prison and so I start teaching Islam in in a jail and telling everybody what they must do what are their duties toward Allah and so I did this routine every day I prayed obviously five times a day shites do pray three times and they include the 17 Ro in in three times but what I did when because I wanted to spend more time with with God I did it at five separate times and then in the end of the evening I would pray extra prayers would have the habit of reading through the Quran cover to cover once every 10 days and I had gained the spiritual powers out of Islam in Quran they have the a the the Spiritual Beings and so speaking to them is not forbidden in fact there are stories of talking to them that Prophet Muhammad did so I had been able to connect to that spiritual Realm and been able to acquire powers out of them and so I was able to pray for people especially when people someone hurt them or someone did something to them they would come to me and they would ask me to set a prayer and immediately that person would get sick have an accident this kind of things you know was able to close my eyes tell you what a person is doing in another room and so this had made me more power hungry and I wanted to gain more power so I would spend and meditate more in the Quran and so as I was doing that one night I I just was meditating in the verses and there are there are words in the Quran that are repeated continually repeatedly but they have no meanings they are the secrets of Quran and so when I was meditating on these a spirit entered the room and it was much more powerful than I could handle I could I could overcome and so I was filled with fear and so I tried using all the tools Islam had given me in the name of Allah I command you to leave you know and Satan I rebuke you kind of things and I used all those and nothing was was helping at that moment I I was
Chapter 3: A supernatural encounter
totally desperate and I felt like it is choking me choking the life out of me and I felt like I'm dying in that cell and I just cried out to to the heavens and I said God in Far help me and immediately I Heard a Voice just as clear as you hear my voice today saying bring the name of Jesus and at that moment I really seriously did not give it one second of thought I just was I feel like going back I was drowning and a man that is drowning you throw a rope they would never question you about the color of the rope and just grab on and so I did I said Jesus if you are true show me yourself and to this day I have no idea of this to going back I'm thinking why did you word it that way why didn't you just say Jesus help me I don't know why but that's the way it came out and before I was finished with the sentence everything was back to normal now that was not my conversion that was the beginning of my confusion why would Jesus help a Muslim now I had done everything in my power to be a good Muslim I had already tried to go and commit myself to in the way of Allah and be a martyr for him you know walking on the mines and so the
Chapter 4: Seeking God's true path
government of Iran is is used to issue the the people that are F or the ones that are willing to to give themselves to sacrifice themselves ESP special Quran that had the stamp of the government that I had participated in the executions by hanging you know I had done everything that I thought I must do against the infidels and anything and everything I must do to share Allah with others so I I I knew that something is wrong and that was not because I doubted Allah or doubted Islam or anything I fully believed and I didn't know what that is and he just confused me and so I tried to just forget about it you know but that question why would Jesus help a Muslim why would Jesus help a Muslim that would just keep coming at me I believe in Muhammad the last prophet I would think the in the perfect religion why Jesus come to help me and so that two weeks period I just got really confused and I said okay I'm going to pray and fast and ask God himself to show me the path obviously I thought at that moment and there are verses and and things taught in the Quran that says the ways of Allah are many and no matter what part and what part of the mountain you climb you always come to the same mountain top and I thought maybe that is what what God is you know and then no maybe it is different for God maybe God has a specific way for me and he wants me to follow that a specific way so I thought I will never find out unless I asked this question so I did I prayed and fasted and from the bottom of my heart with all my strength I asked God what is it that you want me to do what way is it that you want me to follow and so for 2 weeks I sat in one place and I prayed as many hours as I was awake and I fasted as many as hours as I I was awake and I would just fall asleep literally on that place I would wake up and I would just pray again and again asking God what is the way you want me after two weeks to know well I had no answer and I really got frustrated I just thought forget it you know what is this I have no chance of finding out what he wants I don't even know if God exists and I have wasted all my life I have been afraid all my life you know trying to do everything that would please Allah and now he confuses me if Allah is all great and he sees the heart he knew in my heart I love him and what matters if I call him whatever name I call him he knows in my heart I love him and if it does matter to him I ask him for two weeks I sat prayed and nothing happens so you know what I'm going to go do my own thing I'm going to go walk my own path I'm going to do what pleases me obviously at that very moment I felt the
Chapter 5: Experiencing divine forgiveness
power of God filled the room now in Islam the greatest sin you can commit and you can never be forgiven for that is doubting God himself doubting his teachings doubting his prophet and I had done that and in Islam they teach you that Allah never visits God never visits human beings I feel and I know against Islam I have committed the greatest sin that can never be forgiven God's presence is in the room and I'm confronted immediately with his Holiness all this is happening in simultaneously and I'm confronted with his Holiness which put this weight of sin upon me and I know I know that because he is just he must kill me he must wipe me off the face of the Earth because I'm so full of sin and I cried because I literally didn't want to die but I knew there is no chance he was so holy and I was so wicked so I just ran to the corner of the room and I held my head in my arms and I just cried out God forgive me God forgive me God forgive me God forgive me and I just said forgive me forgive me forgive me forgive me and as I was crying and just saying forgive me I felt a touch on my shoulder saying I forgive you and the very instant those words were spoken I physically felt forgiven and I I couldn't understand it I said wait a minute we say in the name of God who is merciful and gracious but we don't know if you are forgiven till the day of judgment that is why there is not one single verse in the Quran that says Muhammad is in the heaven he must wait like all people for the the the day of dama the day of resurrection and all shall be judged on that day so how is it that who is this God that says I forgive you and I feel forgiven today and I asked I said who are you they can forgive me and I feel forgiven today and says I am the way the truth and the life the moment I heard those words I knew it's of a great importance but I had absolutely no idea what that meant I still had no clue who this God is so I asked him what is your name Jesus Christ the Living God he answered and the moment she spoke those words it was as if every single bone was taken out of my body and I just fell on my face to the ground and I start weeping in that presence of God I just
