I didn’t set out to change my faith.

I defended it.
But the deeper I searched, the more I found myself face to face with Jesus.
>> The microphone went dead.
Not from technical failure, they cut it.
But by then, 100,000 pilgrims had already heard what no Grand Mui had ever said aloud in 1,400 years of Islam.
I watched the religious police surge toward the platform, their white robes billowing like sails in the Medina heat.
I had maybe 90 seconds left.
90 seconds before they would drag me from this pulpit.
90 seconds to finish what I’d hidden for 3 years.
I lifted my voice, no microphone needed now, and shouted the words that would end my life as I knew it.
Muhammad himself said on his deathbed, “The Messiah will judge all people, not a prophet, the Messiah, the judge, the one Muslims have been waiting for while he’s been waiting for us.
And I stand before you today to tell you Jesus Christ is that Messiah.
He is God.
” And Ana Muhammad pointed us to him.
The crowd erupted.
Some wept.
Some shouted verses from the Quran.
Others stood frozen.
mouths open, unable to process what they just heard.
Security guards rushed the platform, six of them, maybe eight.
I lost count, hands grabbing my arms, my shoulders pulling me backward down the minbar steps, but I kept shouting, “Jesus is Lord.
” Muhammad pointed to him, “Don’t miss the one you’ve been waiting for.
” They dragged me through the courtyard, my sandals scraped against the marble.
Behind me, I heard Omar’s voice.
my underground Christian contact crying out in Arabic, “Allahu Akbar, God is great, he has revealed himself.
” And then they threw me into a white van, slammed the doors, and everything went dark.
But 3 years ago, I didn’t believe any of this.
3 years ago to if someone had told me I would stand in the prophet’s mosque declaring Jesus as God, I would have called for their arrest myself.
My name is Sheikh Tariq Iban Khalil Al-Hashimi.
I was the deputy grand muti of Medina, the second most trusted Islamic scholar in the holiest city after Mecca.
I am a direct descendant of Abu Bakr al-Sadik, the prophet Muhammad’s closest companion.
For 45 years, I devoted every breath to Islamic scholarship.
I memorized the Quran before my 9th birthday.
I spent 30 years teaching at the Islamic University of Medina.
I authored 12 books on Islamic Jewish prudence.
I advised the Saudi royal family on religious law.
I guided over 100,000 pilgrims through Hajj rituals each year.
And now I am exiled.
My family has disowned me.
My name has been erased from every Islamic institution when there’s a fatwa, a religious death sentence on my head.
But I would do it again.
I would risk everything again because what I discovered in a forgotten hadith manuscript 3 years ago changed not just my life, it changed eternity.
Stay with me because in the next 38 minutes, I’m going to show you the exact hadith that Islamic scholars have tried to explain away for 1,400 years.
The hadith that convinced a grand mut to risk execution.
the hadith that proves Muhammad himself pointed to Jesus as God.
But first, you need to understand who I was.
Because the journey from Deputy Grand Mufty to exiled Christian didn’t happen overnight.
It happened in whispers, in dreams, in ancient manuscripts hidden in vaults beneath the Islamic University, in encounters I couldn’t explain and questions I couldn’t ignore.
This is that journey, a act two, the lineage of trust.
To understand what I lost, you need to understand the weight of my family name.
In Saudi Arabia, lineage is everything.
Your family history determines your social standing, your career opportunities, even your eligibility for marriage.
And my lineage was impeccable.
I was born in 1966 in Medina, Saudi Arabia in a modest stone house just 400 meters from the prophet’s mosque, the masjid al- Nabawi, where Muhammad himself is buried.
Every morning of my childhood, I woke to the first call to prayer echoing from the minouet Muhammad once stood beneath.
The sound traveled through the warm desert air, through my open window, and into my dreams before I even opened my eyes.
And my earliest memory is my grandfather lifting me onto his shoulders and walking me through the courtyard of the prophet’s mosque.
I was maybe four years old.
He pointed to the green dome, the dome that marks Muhammad’s burial place, and said, “Tariq, our family has served this mosque for 45 generations.
You will be the 46th.
” My grandfather Sheikh Khalil Ib Ahmed al-Hashimi was the chief Imam of that mosque for 22 years.
Every Friday he delivered the hudba the sermon to thousands of worshippers.
Kings and presidents visited him for religious guidance.
When he spoke people listened because his words carried the authority of centuries.
My father, Sheikh Khalil Ibn Muhammad, was a senior Hadith scholar who taught at the Islamic University of Medina.
Students came from Indonesia, Malaysia, Egypt, as Morocco across the entire Muslim world to study under him.
He specialized in the science of hadith authentication, determining which sayings attributed to Muhammad were genuine and which were fabricated.
and our lineage, our family tree, traced directly back to Abu Bakr al- Siddik, Muhammad’s closest companion, the first adult male to accept Islam, the man who accompanied Muhammad on the Hijra from Mecca to Medina, the first caiff who led the Muslim community after Muhammad’s death.
Abu Bakr was the one who washed Muhammad’s body for burial.
He was the one Muhammad called my companion in the cave.
That was my ancestor.
That was my blood.
Do you understand what this meant? In Medina, I wasn’t just another scholar.
I was royalty.
Not political royalty, spiritual royalty.
My family name opened every door.
When I walked through the markets, a shopkeeper stood.
When I entered the mosque, younger scholars made space for me in the front row.
When I spoke at conferences, my introduction took 5 minutes because they had to list 14 centuries of my family’s service to Islam.
I grew up in this bubble of certainty.
Islam wasn’t just my religion.
It was my identity, my heritage, my destiny.
Questioning Islam would have been like questioning whether the sun would rise.
It was unthinkable.
My education began before I could write my name.
At age three, my father started teaching me Quranic Arabic.
At age five, I began memorizing the Quran, 30 chapters, 6,236 verses.
Most children take years to complete this.
I finished at age 8.
I still remember the celebration.
My entire extended family gathered at our home, over 60 people.
My father placed a white turban on my head and the traditional mark of a hai one who has memorized the entire Quran.
He wept as he embraced me.
You have honored 45 generations of he said at age 12 I began studying hadith science under my father.
He taught me the six major hadith collections.
Sah Bkari Sah Muslims Abu Dawan al- Tmidi al- Nasari and Ib Maja.
He taught me how to trace the isnad, the chain of transmission, determining whether a hadith was authentic based on who narrated it and how trustworthy they were.
By age 16, I could recite thousands of hadiths from memory and trace their chains of transmission back to Muhammad himself.
At 18, I enrolled at the Islamic University of Medina.
This isn’t just any university.
It’s the Harvard of Islamic Education.
Only one in 50 applicants are accepted, but my family name guaranteed my admission.
I majored in Islamic juristprudence and graduated at the top of my class.
At 24, I was offered a teaching position at the same university at 24.
Most scholars don’t achieve this until their 40s.
But my dissertation on the methodology of early hadith collection impressed the academic council so much that they created a position for me.
I taught for 30 years.
I published 12 books.
I trained over 5,000 students who went on to become imams, muis, and Islamic judges across the world.
My books were translated into 14 languages.
My lectures were downloaded millions of times.
In 2010, I was invited to join the Council of Senior Scholars, an advisory body to the Saudi government on religious matters.
In 2018, I was appointed as the official religious adviser to the Saudi royal family.
And in 2020, at age 54 and I was named Deputy Grand Muy of Medina.
When they appointed me, the ceremony took place in the prophet’s mosque.
The Grand Mui himself, Sheikh Abdullah al-Mutlak, placed the official seal on my appointment letter.
I stood in the same mosque where my grandfather had led prayers.
My father, then 89 years old and too weak to stand for long, wept openly as I accepted the position.
45 generations, he whispered to me afterward, gripping my hands.
45 generations of our family serving Islam, protecting the faith, guiding the ummah.
You are the pinnacle, Tariq.
You are the culmination of 1,400 years of faithfulness.
I believed him.
I believed I was the apex of my family’s legacy.
I believed Allah had chosen me for this moment in history.
A moment when Islam was under attack from Christian missionaries.
when when Saudi youth were being seduced by Western materialism when the faith needed defenders.
I believe my purpose was to be that defender to protect Islamic orthodoxy to refute Christian claims about Jesus to prove that Islam was the final perfected religion and that Muhammad was the seal of the prophets.
I had no idea that Allah was about to use me for something completely different.
I married at age 26.
Her name was Aisha, named after Muhammad’s favorite wife.
She was the daughter of a respected Imam from Jedha.
We had four children.
Bilal, our eldest son, now 32, who became an imam like his father.
Zanab, 29, who married a scholar from the Islamic University.
Ibraim, 25, who was studying Islamic finance.
and Mariam, my youngest, 22, who was the light of my life.
Bright, curious, always asking questions that made me think.
We lived a peaceful life, a blessed life.
We had a beautiful home overlooking the prophet’s mosque.
We traveled for Umrah twice a year.
Our children were successful, faithful, respected.
My wife was content.
My father lived long enough to see me appointed deputy grand muy before he passed away in 2021 at age 91.
Everything was perfect.
Everything was exactly as it should be.
And then the doubt started.
In 90 seconds, I stood in front of 100,000 Muslims and declared Jesus’s God.
In that moment, I realized something.
Jesus hung on a cross for 6 hours.
Not for his own glory, but so that moment could happen.
He died so a Muslim scholar could find him.
He died so you could find him.
He didn’t come to be served.
He came to serve and to give his life as a ransom.
If that kind of love moves you, if you’ve ever wondered why God would die for people who reject him, subscribe to this channel because every testimony here points to the same truth.
Jesus didn’t die for the righteous.
He died for seekers.
He died for Muslims.
He died for doubters.
He died for you.
Don’t miss what he’s doing right now.
Act three, the forbidden hadith.
The doubt started small.
It was January 2021, 3 months after my father’s death.
I was preparing a lecture series for incoming Hajj volunteers, young scholars from across the Muslim world who would guide pilgrims through the rituals during the upcoming Hajj season.
The topic was assigned to me by the Grand MUI himself.
The Islamic Jesus versus the Christian corruption, a scholarly reputation.
Standard material.
I taught versions of this lecture dozens of times.
And the premise was simple.
Christians had corrupted their scriptures and turned the prophet Isa Jesus into a false god.
They claimed he was the son of God.
That he died on the cross.
That he rose from the dead.
All of this was sherk, the unforgivable sin of associating partners with Allah.
Islam had come to correct these corruptions and restore the true message about Jesus, that he was merely a prophet, a human being, a messenger like Muhammad.
My job was to teach these young volunteers how to explain this to any Christians they might encounter during Hajj, how to defend Islamic monotheism, how to show that the Bible had been changed, but the Quran was perfectly preserved.
I’d done this before.
It should have been easy.
But this time, I decided to go deeper.
I wanted to site early sources, not just the standard texts and but the earliest hadith collections, the ones compiled within the first century after Muhammad’s death.
I wanted to show these young scholars the academic rigor behind our positions.
As deputy grandmi, I had access to restricted collections, hadith manuscripts not available to the general public, ancient texts preserved in climate controlled vaults beneath the Islamic University.
Some of these manuscripts dated back to the seventh and 8th centuries, just decades after Muhammad’s death.
Most scholars never see these texts.
They’re considered too fragile for general handling.
They’re also, if I’m being honest, inconvenient.
I requested access.
The university librarian, a man I’d known for 20 years, hesitated.
Shik Tar, he said, are you sure you need the restricted collections? Either standard hadith compilations should be sufficient for a Hajj volunteer lecture.
I want to be thorough, I told him.
I want to show these young scholars that we have the earliest sources on our side.
He nodded slowly and handed me a key.
Be careful with the manuscripts, he said.
And be careful what you do with what you find.
I didn’t understand what he meant at the time.
The vault was in the basement of the Islamic University Library.
I descended two flights of stairs, unlocked a heavy wooden door, and entered a room that smelled of old paper and leather and time.
The manuscripts were organized on shelves behind glass, hundreds of them, maybe thousands.
Each one carefully labeled with its date of origin and contents.
I found the section labeled early hadith collections pre-standardization.
These were hadith compilations from before the 9th century before the major scholars like Bkari and Muslim had created the standardized collections that all Muslims study today.
One manuscript caught my attention.
It was labeled miscellaneous sayings removed from standard collections.
handle with scholarly discretion, removed from standard collections.
Every scholar knows there are hadiths that were deemed inconvenient by early compilers, not necessarily false or fabricated, but awkward.
Hadiths that raised questions the early caiffs didn’t want to encourage.
Hadiths that complicated the official narrative.
I pulled the manuscript from the shelf.
The vellum was brittle and yellow.
The Arabic script faded, but still legible.
And the date on the binding indicated it was compiled in 680 AD, just 48 years after Muhammad’s death.
Whoever wrote this manuscript had likely interviewed people who personally knew Muhammad or who knew people who knew him.
This was as close to the source as you could get.
I carefully turned the pages, scanning the various hadiths.
Most were mundane sayings about proper prayer posture, about dietary laws, about inheritance disputes, the kinds of things that didn’t make it into standard collections because they were too specific or too minor.
And then I reached page 47.
I read it once, then again, then a third time.
My hands started trembling.
The hadith was attributed to Aisha bint Abib Bakr, Muhammad’s favorite wife and the daughter of Abu Bakr, my own ancestor.
The chain of transmission was impeccable.
And this wasn’t some obscure narrator with questionable reliability.
This was Aisha herself, one of the most trusted sources in all of hadith literature.
The text read from Aisha bint Abi Bakr recorded in the 48th year after Hijra on the final day before the prophet’s death he gathered his closest companions and spoke of the end times we asked him oh messenger of Allah who will judge humanity on the last day and he said Issa al-masi will judge he alone has been given this authority by Allah he is the word of Allah and the spirit from Allah.
He is sinless.
He is eternal.
He is the one prophesied by all the prophets.
I have prepared you for his return, but I myself will bow before him.
I stared at those words.
I myself will bow before him.
Muhammad bowing before Jesus.
I read it again.
He is the word of Allah and the spirit from Allah.
He is sinless.
He is eternal.
Every Muslim knows Jesus is called the word of God in the Quran.
Surah 3:45 says, “Oh Mary, indeed Allah gives you good tidings of a word from him whose name will be the Messiah, Jesus, the son of Mary.
” And Surah 471 calls Jesus his word and a spirit from him.
but eternal.
Muhammad claimed Jesus was eternal and I will bow before him.
Muhammad, the seal of the prophets, the final messenger, said he would bow before Jesus.
I closed the manuscript.
My heart was pounding.
I looked around the vault, suddenly paranoid that someone was watching me, but I was alone.
I pulled out my phone or something strictly forbidden in the archive and photographed the page.
The camera flash illuminated the ancient text.
I took three photos from different angles to make sure I captured every word clearly.
Then I returned the manuscript to the shelf, locked the vault, and walked back to my office in a days.
That night, I couldn’t sleep.
I lay in bed next to Aisha, my wife, staring at the ceiling, replaying those words in my mind.
I will bow before him.
Why had I never encountered this hadith in 45 years of Islamic scholarship? Why wasn’t this in Sahib Bkari or Sah Muslim, the two most trusted Hadith collections? Why was it hidden in a restricted archive labeled handle with scholarly discretion? The next morning I began researching.
I went through every hadith collection I could access searching for similar sayings and I found a pattern in Sahim Muslim book 41 hadith 723 and Muhammad says Jesus will descend and will kill the dal the Islamic antichrist.
He will live on earth for 40 years then die and Muslims will pray over him.
Wait, Muslims will pray over Jesus.
We don’t pray over prophets.
We pray to Allah alone.
But here, Muhammad says, “Muslims will pray over Jesus as if as if Jesus is more than a prophet.
” In Sahib Bkari volume 4 book 55 hadith 657 Muhammad says by him in whose hands my soul is surely Jesus the son of Mary will soon descend amongst you and will judge mankind justly Jesus will judge mankind not Allah Jesus in sunn Abu Dawud a book 37 hadith 4310 Muhammad says there is no profit between me and Jesus.
And he will descend.
When you see him, recognize him.
He is a man of medium height, reddish fur, wearing two light yellow garments.
He will fight the people for the cause of Islam, break the cross, kill the swine, and abolish Jizia.
Allah will perish all religions except Islam during his time.
Jesus will fight for the cause of Islam.
Jesus, a Jewish rabbi who lived 600 years before Muhammad will establish Islam.
The more I researched, the more confused I became.
I found 23 hadiths, all from early credible sources, where Muhammad spoke of Jesus in ways that elevated him far above any other prophet.
Jesus is the only sinless prophet.
Sahib Bkari, volume 4, book 55, Hadith 641.
Jesus is called the word of God and the spirit of God.
Quran 4:17.
Jesus is described as being alive with Allah, not dead and buried like other prophets.
Quran 4 157 to 158.
Jesus will defeat the dal, the Islamic Antichrist, the multiple hadiths.
Jesus will judge all humanity on the last day.
multiple hadiths.
Jesus will establish global Islamic rule.
But wait, if Islam is already established through Muhammad, why does Jesus need to come back to do this? And most troubling of all, Muhammad himself said he would bow before Jesus.
I spent 3 months researching in secret.
I didn’t tell anyone.
Not my wife, not my colleagues, not the Grand Muy.
I just kept digging deeper into the earliest Islamic sources.
And the more I dug, the more questions I had.
If Jesus is just a prophet like all the others, why did Muhammad speak of him so differently? Why is Jesus the only sinless prophet? Why is Jesus the judge? Why is Jesus the one who defeats the antichrist? Why is Jesus still alive with Allah while Muhammad is dead and buried in Medina? And why did Muhammad say he would bow before Jesus? I tried to find scholarly explanations.
I read commentaries by Ibn Kir Alabari al-Qi, the greatest Islamic scholars in history.
They all acknowledged these hadiths.
They all tried to explain them away.
Some said when when Muhammad said Jesus would judge, he meant Jesus would judge according to Islamic law as Muhammad’s subordinate.
But that’s not what the hadith says.
It says Jesus will judge.
period.
Others said when when Muhammad said he would bow before Jesus, it was a metaphorical bow of respect, not worship.
But Muslims don’t bow to anyone except Allah.
Even bowing to another human being is considered shook.
Associating partners with Allah.
So why would Muhammad say this? The explanations didn’t satisfy me and they felt like desperate attempts to explain away something uncomfortable.
And then I found something that changed everything.
In that same restricted manuscript, 10 pages after the first hadith I’d found, there was another saying, this one was even more explicit from Abu Hurayra.
The messenger of Allah said, “All the prophets are brothers.
Their religion is one.
And I am the closest to Jesus, son of Mary, because there is no prophet between me and him.
And he is the one who will come again.
If you see him, know him.
He is the Messiah prophesied by Moses and David and all the prophets.
He is the word made flesh.
He is God’s mercy to the world.
The word made flesh.
I froze.
That phrase, the word made flesh, is from the Gospel of John 1 and verse 14.
And the word became flesh and dwelt among us.
Christians believe Jesus is the word of God who took on human form.
that Jesus is God himself incarnate.
And here in a hadith attributed to Muhammad recorded just 50 years after his death, Muhammad was using the exact same phrase.
Why? I sat in my office that night staring at my phone where I’d saved the photograph of this hadith.
The call to prayer for Isa, the night prayer echoed through the city.
I usually never missed a prayer, but that night I didn’t go to the mosque.
I just sat there staring at those words.
He is the word made flesh.
And for the first time in 45 years, I asked a question I’d never allowed myself to ask.
What if the Christians are right? If you’ve ever questioned your faith, any faith, leave one word below.
Searching.
Don’t explain.
Don’t justify.
Just one word.
Because your honesty might give someone else permission to ask their own questions.
And in a world where everyone pretends to have all the answers, maybe one word of truth is the bravest thing you can offer.
Act four.
The dreams begin.
The first dream came on March 15th, 2021.
I remember the date because it was the night after my youngest daughter, Mariam, asked me a question I couldn’t answer.
We were having dinner.
My wife, our four children, and me.
Mariam had just returned from a study session at the Islamic University where she was majoring in Quranic studies.
She was animated, excited, the way she always was when she had learned something new.
Baba, she said, “Father, today we studied Surah Mariam, the chapter about Mary, the mother of Jesus, and our professor said something interesting.
He said that Mary is the only woman mentioned by name in the entire Quran.
The Quran mentions Mary more than the New Testament does.
Why do you think that is? It was an innocent question, a good question, the kind of question I’d normally enjoy answering.
But after three months of secret research into those forbidden hadiths, after discovering that Muhammad called Jesus the word made flesh, after reading 23 hadiths that elevated Jesus above every other prophet, I didn’t have a good answer.
Because I said slowly, Mary was the mother of a great prophet.
Allah honored her with that role.
But Baba Mary impressed or the Quran says angels bowed to Mary.
Angels angels don’t bow to humans.
Why would angels bow to the mother of just another prophet? My wife glanced at me.
My sons were staring at their plates.
Zayab, my oldest daughter, looked concerned.
They could all sense something was wrong.
It’s late.
I said, “We can discuss this another time.
” Miam looked hurt, but she nodded and fell silent.
That night, I went to bed with that question echoing in my mind.
Why would angels bow to Mary if Jesus was just another prophet? I fell asleep after midnight, and I found myself standing in a desert.
Not the Saudi desert I’d known my entire life.
This was different.
The sand was golden, almost luminescent.
The sky was a deep violet like twilight but somehow bright at the same time.
There were no sounds, no wind, no birds, nothing, just silence.
And ahead of me, perhaps 50 m away, stood a figure in white.
He wasn’t moving.
He was just standing there looking at me.
I started walking toward him.
I don’t know why.
Something pulled me forward.
As I got closer, I could see his face.
It was I don’t have words for this.
It was the most beautiful and most terrifying face I’d ever seen.
Not terrifying in the sense of frightening.
Terrifying in the sense of overwhelming.
Like looking at the sun, like standing at the edge of a cliff, like holding your newborn child for the first time.
His eyes held everything.
Love and justice, mercy and holiness, invitation and warning, sorrow and joy, all at once.
I fell to my knees, not from fear, but from recognition.
Have you ever met someone and felt like you’d known them your entire life? That’s what this was like.
Except I hadn’t known him.
I’d been running from him.
And somehow in this dream, I realized that.
I realized I’d been running from this face, this presence, this person my entire life.
He didn’t speak.
He just looked at me.
And I woke up.
I was gasping for air, my heart pounding like I’d just run a marathon.
Sweat soaked through my clothes.
My wife stirred beside me.
Tariq, are you okay? I’m fine.
I lied.
Just a dream.
But I wasn’t fine because even as I lay there in the dark, I could still see his face.
I could still feel his presence.
It was like he’d followed me out of the dream and was standing in the corner of my bedroom watching me.
I got up, went to the bathroom, performed woo, the ritual washing before prayer, and prayed two raars asking Allah to protect me from evil dreams.
But even as I prayed, I I knew this wasn’t an evil dream.
It was something else entirely.
The second dream came one week later.
I tried to forget the first dream.
I told myself it was just stress, just my subconscious processing all the research I’d been doing, just my mind playing tricks on me.
But the second dream was different.
Because in the second dream, he spoke.
I was in the same desert, the same golden sand, the same violet sky, but this time the figure in white was closer, maybe 10 meters away.
And he spoke.
Tariq ibn Khalil.
His voice was like water, like music, like thunder, all at once.
Who are you? I asked.
I am the one your prophet spoke of.
I am the word made flesh.
I am the judge.
I am the Messiah.
And I am calling you.
Calling me to what? To myself.
I tried to argue.
Even in the dream, my 45 years of Islamic training kicked in.
But you’re just a prophet.
I said Islam teaches that you’re Issa ibn Mariam, a messenger like Moses, like Abraham, like Muhammad.
You’re not God.
That’s Shurik.
That’s the unforgivable sin.
He held up his hands.
There were scars through the palms, not wounds.
Scars like the wounds had healed, but the marks remained.
Does a prophet die for the sins of the world? He asked.
Or does God himself pay the price only he can pay? I stared at those scars.
The Quran says you didn’t die, I said.
Surah 47 says you didn’t die on the cross.
That Allah raised you up to himself.
that someone else was crucified in your place.
And yet, he said, I bear the scars.
Why would I bear the scars of a death I didn’t die? I had no answer.
Tariq, he said, and his voice was so tender it broke something inside me.
You have been faithful with what you knew.
But now I am revealing to you what is.
Stop running from me.
Stop defending me as a prophet when I am calling you to know me as Lord.
And then he was gone.
I woke up shouting.
I seek forgiveness from Allah.
My wife was shaking me.
Tariq, Tariq, wake up.
I sat up gasping.
It was 3:00 a.
m.
What’s wrong? Aisha asked, her voice filled with concern.
You’ve been having nightmares all week.
It’s nothing, I said.
But my hands were shaking.
It’s not nothing.
You shouted so loudly.
You woke up Ibrahim in the next room.
I got out of bed.
I need to pray.
I went to the mosque, the prophet’s mosque, just 400 m from my house.
It was nearly empty at this hour.
Just a few worshippers performing tahajjud, the voluntary night prayer.
I prayed for 2 hours and I recited every verse I knew about Jesus.
I asked Allah for guidance, for clarity, for protection from deception.
But even as I prayed, I could still see those scars, still hear that voice.
Stop defending me as a prophet when I am calling you to know me as Lord.
The third dream came two weeks later.
And this time, I wasn’t alone in the desert.
Muhammad was there.
I know how this sounds.
I know skeptics will say I made this up.
But I’m telling you what I saw.
I was standing in the desert again and Muhammad, peace be upon him, as I still said back then, was standing next to me.
I recognized him from the descriptions in Hadith literature, medium height, black beard with some white hairs, kind eyes, wearing simple white clothes.
We stood together in silence for what felt like hours.
And then the figure in white appeared again.
Jesus.
And Muhammad looked at me.
And then he looked at Jesus and he said, “I told them you were coming.
I prepared them for you.
I pointed them to you, but they made me the destination instead of the signpost.
” And then Muhammad turned to Jesus, bowed.
Not just a knot of respect, but a full prostration.
the kind of frustration Muslims only do toward Allah and said complete what I could not.
I was a man who pointed to you.
You are God who came for them.
I woke up weeping.
Not sad tears, confused tears, overwhelmed tears.
I didn’t know what to do with what I was seeing.
For the next month, I tried everything to make the dream stop.
I increased my prayers from five times a day to 10.
I fasted three days a week.
I recited the entire Quran every seven days.
I gave extra charity.
I visited the prophet’s tomb and prayed there for hours.
He asking Muhammad to intercede for me to protect me from deception.
But the dreams didn’t stop.
They intensified.
In one dream, I saw Jesus standing outside the prophet’s mosque, his arms open, saying, “I’ve been waiting for you.
” In another dream, I saw myself standing at the judgment and Jesus was on the throne and Muhammad was standing next to me whispering, “I told you he was the judge.
” In another dream, I was reading the Quran and every verse about Jesus was glowing with light and a voice said, “I wrote this book to point them to me, but they made the book the destination.
I was terrified, not of the dreams themselves, but of what they meant.
Because if Jesus really was God, if Muhammad really had pointed to him, if Islam really was meant to lead people to Jesus, then everything I’d built my life on was wrong.
My lineage and my scholarship, my position, my identity, all of it was based on the premise that Islam was the final truth and that Jesus was just a prophet.
But these dreams were saying something different.
And then I met Omar.
Act five, the secret journey.
I met Omar on April 20th, 2021 in the underground parking garage of the Islamic University.
I’d just finished teaching a class on Islamic theology.
It was late evening, past 900 p.
m.
The parking garage was nearly empty.
I walked to my car, exhausted, not from teaching, but from the emotional weight of the dreams, the secret research, the questions I couldn’t ask anyone.
As I reached for my car door, a voice behind me said, “Has he visited you yet?” I spun around.
A man stood there, maybe 40 years old, and wearing the simple white th and red checked gutra headdress of a Saudi man.
I recognized him vaguely.
He was a janitor at the university.
I’d seen him cleaning the hallways, emptying trash bins.
“Excuse me,” I said.
“The man in white,” he said calmly with scars on his hands.
“Has he visited you in your dreams?” My heart stopped.
“I don’t know what you’re talking about,” I said quickly, reaching for my car door again.
“Yes, you do,” he said.
You’ve been researching the forbidden hadiths.
You’ve been asking questions about Jesus.
You’ve been having dreams you can’t explain.
I know Shik Tarik because I had the same dreams 5 years ago.
I stared at him.
Who are you? My name is Omar and I’m part of the underground church in Medina.
I looked around the parking garage frantically.
Was this a trap? I was someone recording this conversation.
If this man was admitting to being a Christian in Saudi Arabia and if I was caught talking to him, my career would be over.
I can’t talk to you, I said.
Yes, you can, Omar said.
Because you’re searching for truth, and truth doesn’t care about consequences.
I don’t I’m not searching for Jesus is visiting Muslims all over Saudi Arabia.
Omar interrupted in dreams, in visions, in ways we can’t explain.
It’s happening to scholars, to imams, to ordinary people.
You’re not the first Sheikh Tariq.
And you’re not going insane.
You’re being called.
Called to what? To him.
The one Muhammad pointed to.
I felt dizzy.
This janitor, this nobody was saying the exact same thing I’d been seeing in my dreams.
“How did you know?” I whispered.
“How did you know about the dreams?” “Because Jesus told me,” Omar said simply.
“He told me you were coming.
He told me to watch for you.
He told me you’d be the one to speak publicly.
” “Speak publicly about what?” About what? he’s revealing to you about Muhammad pointing to Jesus, about the hadiths they’ve hidden, about the truth they’ve buried.
I shook my head.
I can’t.
I’d lose everything.
My family, my position, my Jesus lost more, Omar said quietly.
He lost his life while people mocked him, spit on him, denied him, and he did it willingly.
Not for those who already believed, but for those who would reject him for 2,000 years.
For Muslims, for you.
Tears filled my eyes.
I didn’t know why.
Maybe from fear.
Maybe from recognition.
Omar reached into his pocket and pulled out a small flash drive.
This is encrypted.
On it, you’ll find the New Testament in Arabic, commentary from ex-Muslim scholars, and testimonies from 47 Saudis who have had the same dreams as you.
Read it, pray about it, and when you’re ready, contact me.
” He handed me a business card.
It had only a phone number, no name, no address.
And then he walked away, disappearing into the shadows of the parking garage.
I stood there for 10 minutes holding that flash drive, my mind racing.
I should throw it away.
I thought I should report this man to the authorities.
I should forget this conversation ever happened.
But I didn’t throw it away.
I drove home, waited until my family was asleep, and plugged the flash and then and the word was God.
The same phrase I’d found in the forbidden hadith, the word made flesh.
I read all night.
I read about Jesus healing the sick, raising the dead, forgiving sins, things only God could do.
I read about Jesus claiming to be one with the Father, claiming that anyone who’d seen him had seen God, claiming that he was the way, the truth, and the life.
I read about Jesus predicting his death, about him saying he came to give his life as a ransom for many, about him telling his disciples that he would rise again on the third day.
And I read about the crucifixion, about Jesus being beaten, mocked, crucified, about him saying, “Father, forgive them for they know not what they do.
” about him dying on the cross, about the darkness that covered the land, about the earthquake when he died, and about the resurrection, about the empty tomb, about Jesus appearing to his disciples, showing them the scars in his hands inside.
About Thomas falling to his knees and saying, “My Lord and my God.
” I’d been taught my entire life that the Bible was corrupted, that Christians had changed the text to make Jesus look like God.
But as I read, I realized something.
The gospel writers weren’t trying to hide Jesus’s humanity.
They described him getting tired, hungry, thirsty, emotional.
They showed him weeping at his friend’s death.
They showed him struggling in the Garden of Gethsemane, asking if there was another way.
But they also showed his divinity, not in contradiction to his humanity, but in addition to it.
Jesus was fully human and fully God, the word made flesh.
By morning, I’d read all four gospels, and I was undone.
Everything made sense now.
The dreams, the forbidden hadiths, Muhammad’s unique reverence for Jesus, the Quran’s insistence that Jesus was the word of God and the spirit of God.
It all pointed to the same truth.
Jesus was God, not a prophet, not a messenger.
God himself taking on human form, coming to earth to do what no prophet could do, pay the price for humanity’s sin.
But I wasn’t ready to accept it.
Not yet.
Because accepting it would mean rejecting everything I’d built my life on.
For the next 6 months, I lived a double life.
By day I was Shik Tariq ibn Khalil al-Hashimi, deputy grand mui of Medina, teaching Islamic theology, leading prayers, advising the Saudi royal family on religious matters.
By night, I was a secret seeker reading the New Testament, watching testimonies of ex-Muslims, meeting with Omar in hidden locations, and asking questions I’d never dared ask before.
Omar introduced me to the underground church, a network of ex-Muslim Christians living in Medina, meeting in secret, worshshiping in basement and late night gatherings in the desert.
There were about 30 of them.
Some were former imams.
Some were ordinary Saudis who’d had dreams of Jesus.
Some were foreign workers who’d converted their Saudi employers.
They met every Friday night, deliberately choosing the holiest night of the Islamic week in a different location each time to avoid detection.
The first time I attended, I was terrified.
If we were discovered, we’d all be arrested.
Apostasy from Islam is punishable by death in Saudi Arabia.
But when I saw them worshiping, singing in Arabic, praying to Jesus, reading scripture, I felt something I’d never felt in 45 years of Islamic prayer.
I I felt home.
They didn’t pressure me.
They didn’t demand I convert.
They just loved me, answered my questions, and prayed for me.
And slowly over months, my heart changed.
I began to see that Islam for all its beauty and sincerity was a system of law.
A system of do this, don’t do that, perform these rituals, avoid these sins, and maybe if you’re good enough, Allah will accept you.
But Christianity was something different.
It was a relationship with a God who said, “I know you can’t be good enough.
So, I became human and died in your place.
I paid your debt.
I purchased your freedom.
Now come to me.
Not because you’ve earned it, but because I love you.
That was the difference.
Islam was about what I could do for God.
Christianity was about what God had done for me.
And in November 2021, I made my decision.
And Omar had connected me with an underground church in Ammon, Jordan.
I’d been invited to speak at an interfaith conference there, a legitimate academic gathering.
But I had a secret purpose.
On Saturday evening, November 13th, 2021, I slipped away from the conference and made my way to a basement beneath a Christian bookshop in Ammon’s old city.
15 people were there.
Omar had flown in from Medina.
A Jordanian pastor named Ysef led the meeting.
Shik Tarik, Ysef said, you’ve been studying the Gospels for 8 months.
You’ve asked every question you can think of.
You’ve wrestled with God.
And now God is asking you, what will you do with Jesus? I took a deep breath.
I believe he is who he says he is.
I believe he is the Messiah.
I believe he is God made flesh.
I believe he died for my sins and rose from the dead.
Then and I want to follow him.
Ysef smiled.
Then let’s baptize you.
They had brought a large plastic tub filled with water.
It wasn’t fancy.
This was an underground baptism after all.
But it didn’t matter.
Ysef asked me, “Tarikb Khalil al- Hashimi, do you believe Jesus Christ is the son of God, that he died for your sins and rose from the dead? I’d spent 45 years reciting the shahada five times a day.
There is no God but Allah, and Muhammad is his messenger.
” Now I said words I never thought I’d speak.
I believe Jesus is the Messiah.
He is the word of God made flesh.
He is Lord and God.
And I surrender my life to him.
They lowered me into the water in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.
And when I came up, I gasped, not from the water, from the presence of the Holy Spirit.
It felt like fire pouring into my chest and like wind filling my lungs, like light flooding a room that had been dark my entire life.
I came up out of that water laughing and weeping at the same time.
Omar embraced me weeping too.
The Jordanian believers surrounded me, praying over me in Arabic, welcoming me into the family of God.
And I felt for the first time in my life truly free.
But freedom came with a cost.
I flew back to Saudi Arabia the next day, carrying the most dangerous secret of my life.
I was now a Christian, a follower of Jesus, living in Medina, working in the prophet’s mosque, teaching Islamic law by day and reading the New Testament by night.
The next 6 months were the hardest of my life.
I lived in constant fear of discovery.
Every knock on my door made my heart race.
Every unexpected phone call made me wonder if this was it.
If they’d found out or if I was about to be arrested.
There were close calls.
Once my son Bilal walked into my office while I was reading the Gospel of Matthew on my laptop.
I quickly closed it, but he’d seen something.
Baba, what were you reading? Just research, I said.
It looked like Was that the Bible? I am preparing a reputation of Christian claims.
I lied.
I need to read their text to refute them properly.
He seemed satisfied, but he watched me more carefully after that.
Another time, a colleague at the Islamic University asked me, “Shake Tariq, you seem different lately, distracted.
Is everything okay? Just tired?” I said, “Your lectures have changed too.
You used to speak with such certainty about Islamic supremacy.
Now you seem softer, more questioning.
I’m just trying to be more intellectually honest, I said.
But inside, I was panicking.
Was I becoming too obvious? Could people see the change in me? The underground church prayed for me constantly.
Omar became my closest friend, my only friend who knew the truth.
We met in secret once a week, usually in his tiny apartment.
And he discipled me, teaching me how to follow Jesus, how to pray in the spirit, how to read scripture.
And every week he asked me the same question.
When will you go public? I can’t.
I always said they’ll kill me.
Maybe, Omar said.
Or maybe God will protect you.
Maybe God is preparing you for a testimony that will reach millions.
How could my testimony reach millions? If I speak publicly, I’ll be arrested within minutes.
God has a plan, Omar said.
Trust him.
But I wasn’t ready to trust him with my life.
Not yet.
And then in April 2024, everything changed.
What? I received an official letter from the Grand Muy’s office.
I’d been selected to give the keynote address at the opening of Hajj season, the most important Islamic gathering of the year.
The speech would be delivered at the prophet’s mosque in Medina.
It would be attended by over 100,000 pilgrims.
It would be broadcast live on Saudi state television to an estimated 50 million Muslims worldwide.
And the topic assigned to me, defending Islamic monotheism against Christian corruption.
When I read that, I started laughing.
Not from joy, from the absurdity of it.
God had a sense of humor.
They wanted me to refute Christianity, to defend Islam against Christian claims, to stand in front of 100,000 Muslims and prove that Jesus was just a prophet.
But I couldn’t do that anymore because I knew the truth.
And suddenly I understood why God had allowed me to become deputy Grand Mui.
Why he’d given me this position, this platform, this credibility.
It wasn’t so I could defend Islam.
It was so I could testify to Jesus from the highest platform Islam could offer.
She tarik lost everything for this testimony.
His daughter Mariam, 22 years old, his youngest, won’t speak to him.
His sons declared him legally dead in Islamic court.
His wife divorced him and remarried within 6 months.
He will never hold his grandchildren.
He will never see his family again.
But when I asked him if he regretted it, his eyes filled with tears and he said, “I do it a thousand times over.
Jesus is worth more than every treasure this world offers.
” If you agree that truth matters more than comfort, share this video.
And not for me, for the Muslim who’s having the same dream Sheikh Tariq had and thinks they’re losing their mind.
They need to know they’re not alone.
Act six.
The preparation.
The speech was scheduled for May 28th, 2024, exactly 3 years after I’d first had the dream of the man in white.
I had 2 months to prepare.
The Grand MUI’s office sent me detailed guidelines.
The speech should be 15 minutes long.
It should cite Quranic verses and authentic hadiths refuting Christian claims about Jesus’s divinity.
It should emphasize Islamic monotheism and it should warn Hajj pilgrims against Christian missionaries who might approach them.
Standard material, the kind of speech I could have written in my sleep 3 years ago.
But I wasn’t going to write that speech.
I met with Omar the night I received the assignment.
We sat in his apartment, the curtains drawn, speaking in whispers even though we were alone.
This is it, Omar said.
This is what God has been preparing you for.
They’ll kill me, I said.
Maybe or maybe not.
Either way, millions will hear the truth.
But my family, your family will disown you, Omar said gently.
I won’t lie to you, Tariq.
Your wife will divorce you.
Your children will declare you dead.
Your name will be erased from every institution.
You’ll lose everything.
Then why should I do it? Because Jesus asked the same question in the garden of Gethsemane.
Father, if there’s another way, let this cup pass from me.
And God said, no.
There was no other way.
Jesus had to die so that we could live.
And now God is asking you, will you die to yourself so that others can find life? I sat in silence for a long time.
I’m terrified, I finally said.
So was Jesus, Omar replied.
The night before the crucifixion, he sweat drops of blood.
He was fully human, Tariq.
He felt every ounce of fear you’re feeling right now.
But he did it anyway because love is stronger than fear.
Over the next two months, I prepared.
Not the speech they expected, but the speech God was calling me to give.
I wrote and rewrote it 50 times.
Every word had to be precise.
Every sentence had to be clear.
I had maybe 90 seconds before they’d cut my microphone and drag me off the platform.
90 seconds to say what needed to be said.
And I wrote letters.
Letters to my wife, letters to each of my children, letters to my extended family, and letters to my colleagues at the Islamic University, letters to the underground church.
I gave all the letters to Omar with instructions.
If I’m arrested or killed, deliver these.
The letters to my children were the hardest to write.
To Bilal, my eldest, you will think I betrayed Islam.
But I found the truth Islam was pointing to.
I pray one day you’ll see it too.
To Zanab, you’ve always been the most faithful of my children.
Don’t lose your faithfulness.
Just redirect it to the one who is truly worthy.
To Ibrahim, you asked me once what the purpose of life was.
I told you it was to submit to Allah.
I was wrong.
The purpose of life is to know Jesus.
To Mariam, my youngest.
You asked me why angels bowed to Mary.
Now I can answer because they were bowing to the one in her womb, God himself, coming to save us.
I love you, Habibi.
Even if you never speak to me again, I love you.
I sealed the letters and gave them to Omar.
For 40 days before the speech, I fasted and prayed.
I asked God for strength, for boldness, for peace.
And God gave me a vision.
I was standing on the platform at the prophet’s mosque.
I was speaking and I looked out at the crowd and I saw Jesus standing among them.
He was smiling and he said, “Well done, my good and faithful servant.
” Uh, that vision gave me the courage I needed.
The night before the speech, the underground church gathered to pray for me.
All 30 believers crammed into Omar’s apartment.
We worshiped.
We prayed.
We took communion, bread and wine, the body and blood of Jesus.
And as I held that bread in my hands, I realized Jesus gave his body to be broken for me.
The least I could do was give my life to testify to him.
I slept well that night.
For the first time in 2 months, I had perfect peace.
The morning of May 28th, 2024, I woke at 5:00 a.
m.
I performed woo, old habits, but this time I prayed differently.
Father God, make me bold.
Holy Spirit, give me words.
Jesus, be glorified today.
I surrender my life to you.
Do with me what you will.
I dressed in my finest white th and gold trimmed bish the formal cloak scholars were.
I looked at myself in the mirror.
This was the last time I’d wear these clothes.
The last time I’d be called shake.
The last time I’d be respected in Medina.
My wife Aisha was still asleep.
I kissed her forehead.
I love you.
I whispered.
She wouldn’t understand why I said it like that.
Like a goodbye.
I walked to the prophet’s mosque.
It was a 10-minute walk from my house.
The sun was rising over Medina and painting the sky pink and gold.
The city was waking up.
Pilgrims were arriving in buses, their voices excited, their white eararmmed garments bright in the morning light.
I walked through the courtyard.
100,000 people were already gathered, sitting in perfect rows, facing the minbar, the pulpit.
Cameras were positioned around the courtyard.
This was being broadcast live to 50 million people.
I climbed the minbar.
The grand mufty himself was there smiling, shaking my hand.
Shake Tariq, we’re so honored.
This will be a historic speech.
Yes, I said quietly.
It will be.
Other senior scholars surrounded me, men I’d worked with for 30 years.
They were congratulating me, asking if I was nervous, offering lastminute advice.
And somewhere in that crowd of 100,000, Omar was watching, praying.
At 9:00 a.
m.
and the moesen called the dur prayer, the midday prayer, all 100,000 people stood, face Mecca, and prayed together.
I prayed with them for the last time.
And then it was time.
The Grand Mui introduced me.
We are honored to welcome Sheikh Tariq ibn Khalil Al-Hashimi, Deputy Grand Mui of Medina, descendant of Abu Bakr al-Sadik, professor at the Islamic University, author of 12 books on Islamic Jewish prudence.
Sheikh Tariq will remind us today why Islam is the final truth and why we must defend our faith against those who seek to corrupt it.
The crowd applauded.
I stood, walked to the microphone, looked out at 100,000 faces, and I began to speak.
Act seven, the declaration and aftermath.
Bismillah alman al-raim.
In the name of God, the most gracious and the most merciful.
The traditional Islamic opening.
The crowd settled into silence.
For 45 years, I continued, I have taught you that Jesus was only a prophet.
For 30 years, I have told you that Christians corrupted their scriptures.
For my entire life, I have declared the shahada.
There is no god but Allah and Muhammad is his messenger.
People were nodding.
This was what they expected to hear.
Today, I said, I stand before you to tell you I was wrong.
The nodding stopped.
A murmur rippled through the crowd.
I was wrong about Jesus.
I was wrong about the Gospels.
I was wrong about what Islam was pointing to.
The murmur grew louder.
The Grand Mufty stood up behind me, confusion on his face.
I spoke faster.
I knew I had maybe 60 seconds left.
in the archives beneath the Islamic University and there exists a hadith an authentic hadith that has been removed from standard collections.
It was narrated by Aisha bint Abi Bakr my own ancestor recorded just 48 years after Muhammad’s death.
In this hadith Muhammad says on his deathbed, “Isa al- Masi will judge all people.
He alone has been given this authority by Allah.
He is the word of Allah made flesh.
He is sinless.
He is eternal.
I have prepared you for his return.
But I myself will bow before him.
Gasps from the crowd.
The grand mufty was gesturing frantically to security.
Muhammad bowed before Jesus.
I shouted, not as prophet to prophet, but as creation to creator.
Muhammad pointed us to Jesus.
And we we made Muhammad the destination instead of recognizing him as the signpost.
Security guards started moving toward the platform.
I know Jesus Christ is not a prophet, I continued, my voice rising.
He is the Messiah Muhammad spoke of.
He is the word of God made flesh.
He is the judge who will return.
He is God himself who came to earth, died for our sins, and rose from the dead.
The microphone cut off, but I kept shouting.
I stand before you today or 100,000 witnesses and I declare that Jesus Christ is Lord.
He is not one of many prophets.
He is the prophet all prophets pointed to.
Muhammad was a man who sought God sincerely.
But Jesus is God who sought man sacrificially.
Six security guards reached the platform.
Hands grabbed my arms.
The greatest honor we can give Muhammad, I shouted as they dragged me backward, is to follow where he pointed to Jesus Christ, the Messiah, the Savior, the Lord.
I fell down the Minbar steps.
They pulled me to my feet.
When the crowd was in chaos, some people weeping, some shouting Quranic verses, some standing in stunned silence.
And as they dragged me through the courtyard, I saw Omar.
He was standing in the middle of the crowd, his hand over his heart, tears streaming down his face, mouththing, “Well done!” They threw me into a white van, slammed the doors, and everything went dark.
I was taken to a detention center in Riyad, Saudi Arabia’s capital.
For 3 days, I was interrogated.
Why did you do this? Because it’s true.
You’ve destroyed your family’s legacy.
45 generations of faithful Islamic scholars.
And you’re the one who betrayed them.
I didn’t betray them.
I completed what they were unknowingly pointing toward.
You’ll be executed for apostasy.
Then I’ll die knowing Jesus, and that’s enough.
But I wasn’t executed because something unexpected happened.
The video of my testimony went viral.
Someone in the crowd had recorded it on their phone.
Despite the Saudi government’s attempts to scrub it from state media, the video spread across social media, WhatsApp, Twitter, Tik Tok, Instagram.
Within 24 hours, it had 50 million views.
Within 48 hours, 100 million.
Within a week, 200 million people worldwide had seen the deputy Grand Muy of Medina declaring that Jesus is God.
International pressure mounted.
Christian organizations, human rights groups, even some Western governments demanded my release.
The Saudi government faced a choice.
Execute me and create an international incident or quietly exile me.
They chose exile.
On June 15th, 2024, 18 days after my testimony, I was put on a plane to an undisclosed location, and they gave me a passport, $5,000, and a warning.
Never return to Saudi Arabia.
If you do, you will be arrested and executed immediately.
I never saw my family again.
My wife, Aisha, divorced me within a month.
According to Islamic law, I was an apostate and she couldn’t remain married to an apostate.
She remarried 6 months later.
My sons, Bilal and Ibraim, declared me legally dead in an Islamic court.
They held a funeral for me.
They divided my possessions among themselves.
My daughter Zanab sends me one email a year.
I’m praying you’ll return to Islam.
I reply every time.
I’m praying you’ll find Jesus.
My youngest daughter, Mariam, hasn’t spoken to me since that day.
I’ve tried calling.
I’ve sent letters.
Nothing.
That’s the cost.
I lost my family.
I lost my position.
I lost my country.
I lost my name.
But I gained Jesus in and he is worth infinitely more.
Today I live in an undisclosed location.
I can’t tell you where for my safety and the safety of the underground church members still in Saudi Arabia.
But I run an online ministry to ex-Muslims.
We receive over 5,000 messages per month from Muslims around the world who have had the same dreams I had.
Muslims who are reading the Gospels in secret.
Muslims who are asking the same questions I asked.
The underground church in Saudi Arabia has grown by 300% since my testimony.
What was 30 believers is now over 100 and it’s still growing.
Reports are coming in from across the Middle East, Iran, Pakistan, Egypt, Morocco, of Muslims finding Jesus, not through missionaries, not through crusades, through dreams, through reading the Quran and noticing what it says about Jesus, through discovering the forbidden hadiths.
Something prophetic is happening.
Isaiah 67 says, “All Khad’s flocks will be gathered to you.
The rams of Nebayoth will serve you.
They will be accepted as offerings on my altar and I will adorn my glorious temple.
Khadara and Nebayoth were Arabian tribes, the ancestors of Muhammad himself.
The prophecy is clear.
Arabia will return to the God of Abraham.
Arabia will come to the Messiah.
And it’s happening right now.
The Islamic calendar marks May 28th, 2024, the day of my testimony, as the 1445th anniversary of Muhammad’s final Hajj sermon where he told Muslims, “I have left you with the Quran and the Sunnah.
” 1,445 years later on that exact anniversary, a Grand MUI stood in Medina and declared that Muhammad pointed beyond the Quran to Jesus.
Coincidence? I don’t believe in coincidences anymore.
In 2 minutes, I’m going to show you the exact hadith I referenced, the full text in Arabic and English, photographed from the restricted archive.
The hadith Islamic scholars have tried to explain away for 1,400 years.
The hadith that proves Muhammad himself said he would bow before Jesus.
If you’ve made it this far, you’ve earned the right to see what they tried to bury.
Don’t click away now.
This is what you came for.
Here is the full text of the forbidden Hadith narrated by Aisha Bintbakr.
recorded in the year 48h 680 AD.
On the final day before the prophet Muhammad’s death, he gathered his closest companions Abu Bakr, Umar Ali and others and spoke to us about the day of judgment.
We were weeping and knowing his time was near.
We asked him, “Oh messenger of Allah, who will judge humanity on the last day?” And he replied, “Isa Ibn Mariam, Jesus, son of Mary, will judge all people.
He alone has been given this authority by Allah.
For he is not merely a prophet.
He is kamatu Allah, the word of Allah made flesh.
He is Rhu Allah, the spirit of Allah.
He is without sin.
For he was conceived by the breath of Allah in the womb of the Virgin Mariam.
He is eternal.
For he did not die but was raised to Allah.
He is the Masa, the Messiah prophesied by all the prophets before me.
I have prepared you for his return.
I have taught you monotheism so you would recognize God when he reveals himself.
But when Isa returns, I myself will bow before him, for he is the judge, and I am but a man who pointed the way.
This hadith exists.
I photographed it.
And and now you’ve seen it.
Islamic scholars removed it from standard collections because it was too uncomfortable.
Because it elevated Jesus to a status no other prophet held.
Because it suggested Muhammad himself recognized Jesus as more than a prophet.
But the truth doesn’t disappear just because you hide it in a vault.
If you’re Muslim and watching this, I want you to know something.
I loved Islam.
I still respect the sincerity of Muslims who truly seek God.
I’m not here to mock your faith or insult your prophet.
But I am here to tell you that seeking God sincerely doesn’t mean you found him.
I spent 45 years seeking Allah with all my heart.
I prayed five times a day.
I fasted.
I gave charity.
I performed Hajj.
I memorized the Quran.
I taught Islamic law.
I did everything Islam asked me to do.
And Allah led me to Jesus.
Not away from him, to him.
The dreams you’re having, they’re real.
Jesus is visiting Muslims all over the world.
He visited me.
He’s visiting you.
That pull in your heart when you hear his name, that’s not cultural conditioning.
That’s the Holy Spirit calling you.
That question you keep asking, why did Muhammad speak of Jesus so differently than other prophets? That’s God planting a seed of truth.
Don’t ignore it.
Don’t explain it away.
Follow it.
Read the Gospels.
Ask Jesus to reveal himself to you.
He will.
I promise you, he will.
I’m not asking you to reject your family or your culture.
I’m not asking you to become Western.
Jesus isn’t Western.
He’s Middle Eastern.
He spoke Aramaic.
He looked like us.
The first Christians were Arabs and Jews, not Europeans.
I’m asking you to follow truth wherever it leads.
And Muhammad said, “Seek knowledge, even if you have to go to China.
” I went seeking knowledge and I found Jesus, not in China, but in the pages of my own Islamic texts, in the forbidden hadiths, in the dreams God sent me.
And now I’m telling you, don’t make the same mistake I made for 45 years.
Don’t defend Islam so fiercely that you miss the one Islam was pointing to.
Subscribe to this channel because what you just witnessed isn’t ending.
It’s just beginning.
Right now, as you’re watching this, thousands of Muslims across Saudi Arabia, Iran, Pakistan, Egypt, and Morocco are finding Jesus.
They’re having the same dreams Sheik Tariq had.
They’re reading the forbidden hadiths.
They’re discovering that Muhammad pointed to Jesus.
And their testimonies are being recorded every single week.
Um, but authorities in these countries are working overtime to bury these stories, to silence these voices, to pretend this isn’t happening.
Your subscription ensures these testimonies go viral instead of being erased.
You’re not just subscribing to a channel.
You’re participating in the greatest spiritual awakening in Islamic history.
Hit subscribe.
Make sure these voices are heard because every testimony points Muslims to the Messiah they’ve been waiting for.
I’m recording this from a secret location.
Every Sunday I meet with 30 ex-Muslims, former imams, former scholars, ordinary believers who found Jesus through dreams, through reading, through searching.
We worship together in Arabic.
We sing ancient hymns that Middle Eastern Christians have sung for 2,000 years, long before Islam existed.
We read scripture.
We pray.
We celebrate communion, the body and blood of Jesus given for us.
And we pray for the day when we can worship openly, when churches will fill Arabia, when Muslims will be free to follow Jesus without fear.
That day is coming.
I believe it with everything in me because Jesus made a promise.
I will build my church and the gates of hell will not prevail against it.
Not even the gates of Islam can stop what Jesus is doing.
Muhammad pointed to him 1,400 years ago.
And now finally, we’re following where he pointed.
My name is Sheikh Tariq Ib Khal al-Hashimi.
I was the deputy Grand Mui of Medina.
I was a descendant of Abu Bakr al- Sadik.
I was a professor at the Islamic University for 30 years.
I authored 12 books on Islamic Jewish prudence.
And now, now I’m a servant of Jesus Christ.
I lost my family.
And I lost my position.
I lost my country.
I lost my name.
But I found the Messiah.
And I would lose everything again a thousand times over for him because he first lost everything for me.
Jesus didn’t die so he could gain a throne.
He already had the throne.
He died so I could gain life.
So you could gain life.
so Muslims could come home to the God who’s been waiting for them for 1,400 years.
If you’ve been searching, stop searching.
You found him.
His name is Jesus, and he’s been calling you all along.
