Jihad: The Day I Died shares the testimony of Abdull, the grandson of a top ayatollah in Iran, who died fighting in an Islamic jihad, came back to life, gave his heart to Christ, and ended up on death row for apostasy. This is a story like you have never heard before.
Abdull grew up in the strictest form of Islam in Iran. In his explosive autobiography, he writes about being the oldest grandson of a radical ayatollah and how he was expected to follow in his grandfather’s footsteps and lead the people of Iran into a pure form of Shia Islam.
His family prepared him for the role of being an ayatollah by sending him to an infamous madrassa for religious instruction. His mother sent him into the streets barefoot in the snow to carry water for the mourners of the Islamic prophets, and at the age of just thirteen, Abdull began his training for jihad as a mercenary for the Islamic Iranian army.
The dedicated young Abdull joined a secret elite Islamic unit which trained him to kill anyone, anywhere, at any time – jumping from airplanes, diving and swimming in combat waters, operating armored battle tanks, handling the most sophisticated small arms weapons, and lacing bridges and tunnels with explosives. The training of young, inexperienced men to fight in a holy jihad can be found anywhere throughout the Islamic world, but Abdull was different.
When the Ayatollah of Iran declared a holy war, Abdull was hand selected to carry out several secret missions. On one of those missions, he died.
He was dead for three days, his body was sent to the morgue, and his family was asked to prepare for his funeral. Though his body was dead, his spirit was still alive and he discovered things that he had never understood before. In BTJ’s new book, Abdull writes what death is like and what it revealed to him about Islam.
What happened next changed Abdull’s life forever and set him on a path in search of Truth. This unbelievable transformation led the grandson of an Iranian ayatollah on a journey of grace, love and forgiveness. What he discovered sent the religious leaders of Iran into a fury, eventually condemning him to death row in an Iranian prison. The miracle of his escape will stun you.
Today, the Muslims who he once fought and died for want him dead and they will stop at nothing to kill him.
Why? What did he learn that is so threatening to the foundations of Islam in Iran? Why did the top officials of Iran want to execute this former Jihad war hero? Why did his family want to kill him and his own grandfather want him dead?
The answers will reveal secrets about the dark lies of Islam that you will not read anywhere else.
