I was born into a Muslim family.
My parents were leaders in the mosque, and I [A] met these two Christians at my grad [D] school.
We just [F#m] realized, okay, we definitely are both very strong in our [A] faiths, but we [D] can't
both be right.
We can both be [F#m] wrong.
Like, logically, in my mind, it's like, okay, we can both be wrong about Jesus, for
sure, but we can't both be right.
So we sort of resolved that we wanted to [A] figure out what truth is, and [D] secretly, secretly,
[F#m] I wanted to convert him, massively.
I [A] totally wanted to convert him to [D] Islam, because anytime I would [F#m] debate anybody about
religion, I would always win.
[E] And so he gave me a Bible, I gave him a Koran, and we started [Am] to just sort of do our own
research, [D] and I would come with my bullet points, and he would come with his.
And truth be told, since I was [B] an American Muslim being surrounded by non [A]-Muslims, of
course I knew [Bm] exactly what I believed, why, [F#m] and had all the arguments.
Even though I felt that [A] I had succeeded in showing [D] him that Christianity was [F#m] flawed and
that Islam was true, I didn't have that satisfaction.
[A] I wanted some sort of proof [D] for the first time in my life.
[F#m] And so I just continued to pray, continued to pray, [D] and I would fast, and I would just
cry out night and day to God, to Allah, the [A] only God that I knew, [D] to show people that
[F#m] he was the truth.
I started to [D] just really have a lot of [F#m] torment.
I just thought maybe I was going crazy for the first time, but it was like I couldn't think [A] anymore.
And [D] especially as somebody studying to be a doctor [F#m] and, you know, science background,
to lose your [A] mind is really [D] a very [F#m] low point, to say the least.
So there was one day where [A] I was probably at my lowest [D] point.
I was just crying, [F#m] praying to Allah and saying, I can't do this one more day.
[A] And that same day I [D] got a text message from my [F#m] friend.
He had been praying for me all along, [D] and his church actually had been praying too,
down south.
And his pastor actually had brought, [A] or had typed up [D] bullet points from the book [F#m] by Lee
Strobel called The Case for Christ.
And so [D] because I was at [F#m] such a low point at that point, I was like, I'll read anything.
Why not?
[A] It gave so much [D] significant proof for the [F#m] historicity of the cross and resurrection.
And I started [A] to read the Bible again.
I [D] was reading it as though it actually could have happened.
And I just remember thinking, oh my, this is beautiful.
And then I called somebody that I knew who [A] was a Christian.
She said, [D] why don't you just ask [F#m] Jesus to come into your heart?
If you're wondering and curious, you have nothing to lose.
And you know, little did she know, if a Muslim asks Jesus into [D] their heart, it's hell for eternity.
No coming back.
[F#m] You cannot come back from that.
[A] So I just looked [D] up at the heavens and I said, [F#m] Allah, I don't know who you are.
[A] Allah, I don't know what's [D] real.
Whoever [F#m] you are though, I want to give my life to you.
[A] If you're Jesus, you can come into [D] my heart.
The next morning [A] I woke up and all the [F#m] torment was gone.
[A] So I thought to [D] myself, okay, logic [F#m] brain, I'm going to really give this [A] exploration
of the gospels three [F#] or four years of my life.
And I'm going to [F#m] really like look into it to see if it's real.
I'm going to stay [A] a Muslim, of course.
I would never [D] leave Islam, but I just [F#m] want to give this a chance.
And so I just basically went to [D] church that Sunday [F#m] and some signs had happened [A] that week,
all pointing to [D] Jesus.
And that Sunday [A] morning, the pastor was [F#m]
preaching and [A] people were raising their hands and I
just [D] kind of sat through it.
[F#m] But my heart just wanted to worship.
And when the altar call came, we all bowed our [D] heads and the pastor just [F#m] said, I feel
like there's someone in here that wants to give [A] their life to Jesus, but they don't even
know [D] what that means.
And they're really [F#m] scared.
And I just said, enough is enough.
It's [A] taking me more faith to not [F#m] believe in Jesus than to believe in him.
[A]
[D] He's my first [F#m] experience with love.
