Muslim preacher says Jesus brought him back to life just before his burial
A former Imam who hated Christians shared his astonishing testimony about how he converted to Christianity after Jesus Christ rescued him from demons and raised him from the dead just as he was being prepared for his burial.
One day, the former Muslim preacher, who now uses the pseudonym Munaf Ali, encountered Bibles for Mideast, an underground ministry which distributes Bibles and establishes underground churches in the region.
Ali and the group had a discussion about Christ and the Bible but he was dismissive of their claims. The former Imam was offered a copy of the Gospel but he refused and cursed the pastor.
According to the report from Bibles for Mideast, a mob came to attack the team but they were able to move just before the attackers arrived.
A few days after the encounter, Ali was on his way home when he suddenly felt dizzy and fell unconscious. He realized that he was dying and he saw demons coming to take his soul away.
Ali told the demons that they cannot take his soul but they replied, "No. It's our right to take your life. And you will be with us." Just as he was about to be taken away, Jesus appeared with a multitude of angels which caused the demons to flee.
Jesus told Ali about Adam's disobedience to God and how the gates of heaven were closed to man because of sin.
"I was born of virgin Mary as a sinless Son of Man to redeem first Adam and all of his kinship including yourself from sin and death. And I was crucified and died as a ransom for all for your sins to make you the children of God and citizens of heaven," Jesus said to Ali.
"I was risen from the dead and opened the gates of heaven to bring you back to the eternal glory. Have faith in me and be my witness. I give your life back, for I am the authority of giving life," he continued.
When Ali opened his eyes, he was surrounded by his relatives who were laying his body on a table to be washed and shrouded before his burial. A crowd was also present to witness his burial. The people were startled when they saw him stand up from the table.
Ali told them about how he was saved by the Messiah when the demons tried to take him. However, the crowd thought that Ali just lost his mind when he fell while others believed that he was possessed. He was eventually dismissed from the mosque where he was preaching.
The former Imam's family believed his testimony about Jesus but the community began to persecute them. Ali and his family have since fled their native country as a result of the persecution.
