Deedat’s Debate With American Soldiers – Sheikh Ahmed Deedat debates with the American soldiers of the First Gulf War in Saudi Arabia.
Sheikh Ahmed Deedat
In 1986, the King Faisal Foundation awarded the King Faisal International Prize for SERVICE TO ISLAM, to a South African who is more or better known than many dignitaries in their own countries. This was the first time that this prestigious award has been awarded to a South African.
The recipient of this award was a man totally dedicated to his faith and its propagation and who was not afraid to challenge any one to a debate to settle once and for all the matter, who has the good news right?
He was none other than Sheikh Ahmed Deedat, reverently known and called UNCLE by those who hold him in high esteem and admiration.
The award came after a lifetime of struggle to propagate Islam and to defend Islam against the onslaught of the missionaries.
Finally, he was given recognition by the international Muslim community that he deserved and focused more sharply the attention of the Muslim world on the most important aspect of his work, the challenge to propagate Islam. This was his life long ambition to focus the Muslim world’s attention and resources on the propagation of Islam, and at last he succeeded. What a moment of jubilation, achievement and personal gratification for Sheikh Deedat the award was, a turning point in his life.
Sheikh Deedat did not have much formal schooling, but he was self-taught through experience and a penchant for reading, debating, discussion, and a profound sense of commitment to a mission and goal. He was driven and goal oriented. He was focused and never let up until the job was done. He was sharp, perceptive, forthright, fiery, and daring in his challenge of those whom he debated, particularly against those who equal his missionary zeal and sense of audacity. Formal schooling did not destroy his creative prowess, his tenacity, ambition, drive, and sheer daring to swim upstream.
Sheikh Deedat was more a scholar of the Bible than the Qur’an, and was more familiar and adroit with its teachings. He had an insight and perspective of the Bible which made many Christians he came into contact with rethink and re-examine their faith, particularly those aspects of the Bible and the Qur’an that deal with the divine mission and life of Prophet Jesus.
On May 3, 1996, Sheikh Ahmed Deedat suffered a stroke which left him paralyzed from the neck down, and also meant that he could no longer speak or swallow. He was flown to a hospital in Riyadh, where he was taught to communicate through a series of eye-movements. He spent the last nine years of his life in a bed in his home in Verulam, South Africa, encouraging people to engage in da’wah. He continued to receive hundreds of letters of support from around the world. During these years, rumors spread throughout the Internet that he was already dead, and even some websites that contained his pamphlets mentioned as early as 2002 that he was dead.
On August 8, 2005, Ahmed Deedat finally succumbed to his prolonged illness and died at his home in Trevennen Road, Verulam in the province of KwaZulu Natal.

Leave your comments, if any, after watching the final part… Thanks!
thats right i saw …
thats right i saw in the Annis Shirrosh debate.
Jews can all be called sons of God
That was my point.
That was my point.
Again I hate it …
Again I hate it when Muslims use science to prove Allah. If that were the case scientists would all go to heaven, but that isn’t. Please note that worshiping god as one without any associates is the straight path. And the way of the prophet is a map towards it. How many religions out there make you really interact with divinity? Islam tells you to stop your worldly affairs and pray to the one who created you.
Where the do …
Where the do you get this christian filled nonsense? Where does prophet call himself or anybody for that matter “Son of god”. Where does Allah. If you want a new dimension you have to get through Ibadah to become (Waliullah) Friend of Allah.
Don’t you see the …
Don’t you see the batil created by the term? If it wasn’t for that term there would be know Jesus son worship. We are not jews so call your self abdullah. Please!
mrvlsligh, there’s …
mrvlsligh, there’s a difference between “Son of God” and “son of God.” The capital letter makes it blasphemy. You see, in the language of the Jews any godly person is called a son of God. But this term has been manipulated by the Christians by refering to Jesus (pbuh) as the bigotten son of God, thus, Muslims prefer not not call anyone son of God.
Jesus(pbuh) also …
Jesus(pbuh) also used the term slaves of Allah. It just means “servant held as property of Allah. However, we can not be servants of His unless we have His character. Humans were designed to live from the inside out not from the outside in. The term slave keeps God at a distance. ’sons’ gives us a new dimension of what we can become when we yeild our lives to Allah.
Yes but that term …
Yes but that term is hated by Allah throughout the Quran and you can look it up. So if you really want to find a title, the title is Ebadullah not Baniullah. Meaning slaves of Allah not children of Allah.
But if you have …
But if you have read the Quran you know how hated this term “children of god” or “son of god” is because Allah promised people Jahannam for saying such things. SO whether spiritual or physically begotten, this term is destested by Allah so call your self Abdullah- Slave of allah instead of son of allah.
The hadith-says ” …
The hadith-says “See how merciful Allah is, they keep ascribing children to him yet he continues to feed them.” This means that they “people” continue to have children through procreation, and Allah being merciful continues to feed them. It does not say they are not children of Allah Spiritually. This is the right understanding of the hadith.
correction: we r …
correction: we r not son of the god spiritually.. ALLAH has mention this in surah al-ikhlas my friend.
That’s why we say …
That’s why we say it is corrupted!
Astaghfirullah. …
Astaghfirullah. This is utterly contradictory in Islam. He is your Khaliq, i.e. creator. Prophet muhammad (pbuh) says in a hadith- “See how merciful Allah is, they keep ascribing children to him yet he continues to feed them.” This term “sons of god” was used by the evil jews and christians of the past learn from them.
Jesus(pbuh) was a …
Jesus(pbuh) was a human being just like we are, and we are sons of God, Jesus(pbuh) therefore is also a Son of God. Its not blasphemy to speak the truth. He himself calls himself Son of God. This fact is written throughout the Bible.
We don’t give …
We don’t give Allaah(bbhn) a son, but we are all sons “offspring” because He is the One who created us. If we can’t be sons what are we? We have to come from a Source, and why do we call Him Father. I call Allah “Father” when I pray. Don’t you?
You can believe …
You can believe jesus is a messenger similar to moses. but son of god is sheer blasphemy.
Think before you …
Think before you speak allah strictly condemns giving him a son in surah maryam
Denying what? …
Denying what? Elaborate please.
All the “science” in the Koran was plagiarized from earlier sources.
What kgj stated …
What kgj stated about the sky disintegrated and becoming colored , this has been discovered thanx to the government owned hubble telescope of the nasa. The Koran says the sky will become rosy , the color of a rose. Noone , not even the greeks and persians or Muhammed (pbuh), could look so far into the universe to know about this but only the Creator who knows everything , knows this. This is only one of the scientific facts that prove that Muhammed (pbuh) did not create the Koran himself.
What I see is that …
What I see is that we got lied to in america about Muslims. Allah(bbhn) is God. The same God we believe in the Bible. False prophets told us that Allah was some kind of moon god. They will answer for their lies!
correction: We …
correction: We Muslims don’t believe that Jesus (pbuh) is the Son of God. Spiritually we all are sons of God. But Jesus (pbuh) is not the begotten son of God. God has no partner.
Also, the pouring …
Also, the pouring out of the Holy Spirit fulfillment in Acts2:16-21 they believe was for Muhammed(pbuh). Muslims do not believe in the catholic doctrine of the trinity or the Diety of Jesus. This is what I see as big differences in christain and Muslim beliefs Listen to this debate, Is Jesus God? this is enlightening
Most Muslims …
Most Muslims believe that Jesus(pbuh) is the Son of God, but they do not believe that He is God. They do not believe in the catholic doctrine of the trinity like christians. Also, Muslims believe that the Holy Spirit was upon the next prophet Muhammed(pbuh) not upon all flesh.
He does recognise …
He does recognise Jesus(pbuh) as Son of God and prophet. The Muslim believes what Jesus claims. but the Holy Spirit they believe came through the prophet Muhammed(pbuh). I believe that the rift is here. the fulfillment of Jesus’ work fulfilling the prophesy of Joel2:28-29″I will pour out My Spirit upon all flesh” This is one difference in the basic chistn belief
