SID: Hello. Sid Roth here with Nasir Siddiki and Nasir is a Moslem. He is literally dying, the worst case of shingles the hospital had ever seen. And a man comes in. He just intuitively knows that it’s Jesus, and he’s emanating such love, such light that healing begins to start in Nasir’s body. The doctors don’t understand it. They release him. He wasn’t completely healed, but he went from no hope to being able to leave the hospital. But he had a problem because this man that visited him, Jesus, said, “I am the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.” And if he knew one thing, one thing he knew, God has no son. But that’s what he said. So what did you do about that?
NASIR: I had that burning question. Is Jesus really the Son of God? And I got home that day, the day I was released from the hospital. The next morning, I wake up at six o’clock. I don’t know why I woke up at six. Turned on the television. There were two men just like here, talking about that very question. And on the screen it says, “Is Jesus the Son of God?”
SID: My goodness.
NASIR: Coincidence? I don’t think so. That was the very question that was in my heart. And they’re talking back and forth. And they were talking about how God sent His Son to die on the cross for our sins, because of His love for us.
SID: Now as a Moslem, what did this mean to you? It’s so strange.
NASIR: As a Moslem, I was taught all my life to know that you’re going to Heaven; your good works have to exceed your bad works. And it’s only through works, the only exception of that in Islam is called Jihad. Jihad is when you die for your cause. You die for your god. And here I’m hearing these two men talk about not dying for your God, but your God dying for you. I had never experienced that kind of love in my life. And I said could this be true? Could it be true that God, the Father, sent Jesus, the Son, to pay the price for my sins, for everything that I’ve done wrong? This was all new to me. But it was exciting. And these men were talking back and forth that, yes, Jesus is the Son of God, and yes, it is documented that He walked the earth, and it is documented that He healed, and it is documented that He died on the cross and paid the price for the sins of all mankind.
SID: So what happened with this horrific disease that you had?
NASIR: Well that day when that program finished, I got on my knees. They led me in a prayer. I asked Jesus to be the Lord of my life. I found a photograph of the way I used to look and I started praying to this Jesus, “Can you make look like this again?” I looked 75 years old. I had my whole face had aged. Five days later, I woke up at five o’clock in the morning. The doctor said, “Don’t scratch the blisters. They’re contagious.” But I saw some on my pillow. So I must have scratched them in the middle of night. I got out of bed, stood under the shower, Sid, for an hour and a half. Every single blister from the top of my head, my face, my ear, my neck, my shoulder fell, and the skin was red like raw meat. And the doctor said I would have white blotches. But as you can see, there’s no blotches.
SID: No. So is there any doubt in your mind that God is the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, and that Jesus is His Son? Any doubt?
NASIR: No doubt whatsoever!
SID: I tell you…
NASIR: I am living proof!
SID: I’m sure of that. So Nasir ends up storybook. He marries his associate, Anita. They go on a month wedding. They got all of this money. And then there’s a downturn in the economy. They go all the way down. They’re out of money. And then his wife is expecting and she develops a life-threatening disease. And Nasir thinks she’s going to die. However, he’s been reading the Bible all this time and he gets all sorts of tapes on healing, and he plays them 24/7 for Anita. What happened to her, briefly?
NASIR: She collapsed outside of a mall. Then she had six catatonic seizures a day. They took her to St. Michael’s Hospital, put 28 needles in her head, diagnosed multiple sclerosis, said that she would be a cripple, gave me a catheter and a wheelchair, said, “You take her home. There’s nothing we can do. There’s no cure. She’s going to lose the rest of her organs.” I knew one Scripture really well: “Faith comes by hearing and hearing by the Word of God.” When the world has given up, you better turn to Jesus. And so I got as many tapes as I could on healing Scriptures, Scriptures that teach on healing, and I played them by her bedside 24 hours a day. Before I did that, Sid, I took all my friends, all my relatives, all my neighbors that didn’t believe like me, kicked them out of the house.
SID: Really?
NASIR: She did not need sympathy. She did not need chocolate. She did not need flowers. She needed the Word of God; 24/7, for two straight years.
SID: And you’re getting it, too. It’s going into you.
NASIR: Yes, both of us listening to the Word 24/7. The Word is getting in because faith doesn’t come by any other way, but by hearing. So she heard the Word, heard the Word, heard the Word, built up her faith. Wait a minute, 2000 years ago, Jesus carried every sickness and every disease, including multiple sclerosis. And if he carried it, why is she carrying it now? She had to get that revelation; and when that Word exploded on the inside of her, now we started to see her getting better and better.
SID: Did it explode in you, too?
NASIR: Absolutely.
SID: You knew for sure she’d be healed?
NASIR: I knew for sure that if anything could heal her, it would be the Word of God.
SID: Okay. So she gets healed and Nasir comes back, and everything is doing wonderful again, and the disease tries to come back. Don’t go away. What happens when a disease that’s going to kill you, you’re healed and you’re excited, and you rejoice, and everyone is happy, and everything is coming back; everything is wonderful and then the disease. What was the name of the disease?
NASIR: Multiple sclerosis for Anita and shingles for me.
SID: They both came back? On you? Let’s find out. Don’t go away. We’ll be right back, too.
