Sheikh
Ahmed Deedat Dies at
87
(http://www.harakahdaily.net/article.php?sid=15176)
CAIRO,
August 8, 2005 (IslamOnline.net) - Famed Muslim preacher and debater Sheikh
Ahmed Deedat died Monday, August 8, at 87, leaving behind a legacy of
propagating Islam and defending it against missionaries.
Founder of
the Islamic Propagation Center International (IPCI) in Durban, South Africa,
Deedat distributed more than twenty million copies of his books and audio
tapes free of charge for the purpose of da`wah.
In South Africa where
he lived, hundreds of people have entered Islam Including a large number of
missionaries.
He delivered lectures all over the world and
successfully engaged Christian Evangelists in public debates.
One of
his most famous debates was "Was Christ Crucified?" when he impressively
debated Bishop Josh McDowell in Durban in 1981.
Famous books by
Deedat included "The Choice - Between Islam and Christianity; "Is the Bible
God's Word?"; "Al Qur'an the Miracle of Miracles" ; "What the Bible says
about Muhammad (PBUH)?"; and "Crucifixion or Cruci-Fiction?"
Deedat,
who was born in 1918 in the Indian district of Surat, has been bedridden
since 1996 when he suffered a serious stroke.
Excellent
Debater
In 1986, Sheikh Deedat was awarded the King Faisal
International Prize for Service of Islam.
Sheikh Deedat did not have
much formal schooling, but he was self-taught through experience and had a
penchant for reading, debating, discussion, and a profound sense of
commitment to a mission and goal, according to his Web site.
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, the Web site added.
"Formal
schooling did not destroy his creative prowess, his tenacity, ambition,
drive, and sheer daring to swim upstream."
Sheikh Deedat was
considered by many as 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, the Web site says.
In 1986, the King Faisal Foundation awarded
the King Faisal International Prize for Service of Islam to Deedat. He
shared the prize with prominent French Muslim intellectual and philosopher
Roger Garaudy.
When he suffered a stroke, he lost his speech, his
most potent gift that he used so effectively in his debates to propagate
Islam.
He delivered his last lecture in Sydney, Australia, in 1996
just before his chronic illness. The lecture was considered to be one of his
most passionate talks.
