The Choice: Islam & Christianity
By
Ahmed Deedat
Ahmed Deedat debator
extraordinaire and founder of the Islamic Propogation Centre in
South Africa, this book of Ahmed Deedat's is a collection of his
most popular series of booklets on Islam and Christianity. While
produced in an excellent low-key reference quality binding on the
outside, the insides however retain the customary Deedat
attention-grabbing look with bolds and capitals abounding on each
page for emphasis. A truly unique book set from an equally
one-of-a-kind persona.
This book examines Jesus as a prophet teaching the Unity of God, and
the historical collapse of Christianity as it abandoned his
teaching. The author sketches the dramatic picture of the original
followers of Jesus who affirmed Unity. What emerges is that
"Christianity" is the fiction that replaced their truth. A work that
covers the Gospel of Barnabas, the Gospel of Hermes, the Shephard,
early and later Unitarian Christians, Jesus in the Gospels and in
the Qur'an and Hadith. The author clearly shows the idea of Jesus as
part of a Trinity was a Greek Pagan idea adopted by early Christian
mission-aries to gain converts among the Greek, and did not become a
widely accepted Christian doctrine until after the Council of Nicea
in 325 A.D.
About Ahmad Deedat:
Sheikh Ahmed Hoosen Deedat passed away on the morning of Monday
8th August 2005. He was a remarkable individual who was responsible
for inspiring so many people to become better, confident and
strongerMuslims. He had been bedridden since suffering a double
stroke in May 1996, and was also left speechless as a result. He
endured suffering with patience and gratitude to Allah and whilst in
this state, still continued his efforts to further the cause of
Islam. His career in the field of Comparative Religion took him
across five continents where he engaged in constructive dialogue
with the heads
of the Protestant world and even the late Pope John Paul II. His
fearless courage, aptitude and determination are just some of the
many qualities he leaves behind in his legacy. He was 88 years old
and is survived by his wife, son and grandchildren. May Allah (swt)
bless his soul, accept his efforts for the cause of da'wah, grant
patience to his loved ones and reward him with the highest station
in Paradise, Al-Firdaws.
