They were called to preach the Word of God in a world that hated the Message and the messenger. How would they find the strength to fulfill their calling?

Nabeel Qureshi grew up with a deep love for Allah, Mohammed and his family's heritage, and quickly became a confident and zealous proponent of his beloved faith.

In desperation, he cried to Allah for the truth, but what he found utterly shocked him.

In Psalm 107, this refrain is repeated four times: “Then they cried to Yahweh in their trouble, and He delivered them out of their distress.” Why the repetition? Because when we realize that we have sinned, and we know we are in deep trouble, we need to know without a doubt that God will answer us if we cry out to Him.
