Nabeel Querishi is known worldwide for his testimony of conversion from Muslim to Christian. In his testimony he says that there was a point in his life, while he was a medical student, where he found no comfort in the Quran, and one day he put the Bible and the Quran side by side, and he says that he found no comfort in the Quran, rather, he saw it as a lifeless book. Instead, when he opened the Bible, he came to the passage that says, “blessed are they that mourn: for they shall be comforted.” (Matthew 5:4).
This moment marked a profound turning point in his spiritual journey. For Nabeel, the contrast between the two books was not simply an academic comparison or an intellectual exercise, but a deeply personal experience. As someone who sincerely desired to know God and to live according to His will, he was searching for peace, assurance, and meaning. During that season of his life, he felt an inner emptiness that religious practice alone could not fill, and the words he encountered in Scripture seemed to speak directly to the condition of his heart.
His testimony has resonated with millions around the world precisely because it reflects an honest and courageous search for truth. Nabeel often explained that his conversion did not happen overnight, nor was it without struggle. It involved years of study, prayer, and intense conversations with Christians and Muslims alike. He wrestled deeply with the implications of following Christ, knowing that such a decision would affect his relationships with family, friends, and his broader community.
Despite the emotional and relational cost, Nabeel remained convinced that truth was worth pursuing, no matter the price. He frequently emphasized that his decision to follow Jesus was not motivated by hatred for Islam, but by love for truth and a genuine encounter with Christ. This distinction became a central theme in his ministry, as he consistently urged believers to engage people of other faiths with humility, respect, and compassion.
This man transformed by God had to live his last year of life battling cancer. His last words were incredible, as while he was in the hospital he spoke about how it is good to talk about certain truths of Christianity and Islam, but that this should be done under the lens of love.
Even as his physical strength declined, Nabeel’s faith remained firm. From his hospital bed, he continued to share reflections filled with hope, peace, and clarity. He reminded Christians that truth should never be used as a tool to attack or humiliate others, but rather as an expression of love that seeks the good of every person. His words during this period revealed a man who had learned to trust God fully, even in suffering.
He also spoke about how much of the information he had taught was used by some people to undermine each other, however, this was not his point, rather his teaching was always based on the fact that love must reign over everything. He said, “I hope that the legacy I have left behind is one of love, peace and truth.” Without a doubt, this man was a huge blessing to Christianity and its preaching among Muslims.
Nabeel’s legacy continues to challenge believers today. His life reminds Christians that apologetics, theology, and debate must always be grounded in grace. He demonstrated that it is possible to defend one’s faith with conviction while still honoring the dignity of those who disagree. His approach encourages dialogue rather than division, and understanding rather than hostility.
Today, many people continue to watch his videos, read his books, and share his testimony as a source of encouragement. His story invites believers to examine their own faith, to seek God sincerely, and to allow love to guide every conversation. In a world often marked by religious tension and misunderstanding, the life and final words of Nabeel Qureshi remain a powerful reminder that truth, when spoken in love, has the power to transform hearts.
