SID: Hello, Sid Roth. Welcome to my world where it’s naturally supernatural. I’m with a very interesting person. His ancestor was the best friend of Mohammed, and he was the first Caliph of the entire Moslem world. Is that right, Nasir Siddiki?
NASIR: That is absolutely right, Sid.
SID: That’s quite a genealogy that you have.
NASIR: Yes. That’s why the name “Siddiq” is synonymous with Abu Bakr Siddiq, the first Caliph of the Moslem nation.
SID: So out of curiosity, would most Muslims recognize your last name?
NASIR: Absolutely. If I was to go to the Middle East they would immediately recognize Nasir Siddiq. He’s family from the Siddiqs.
SID: And speaking of family, he came from a very prosperous family. But he didn’t so bad himself. By 35, he was a millionaire. He had all the neatest cars and homes, everything Hollywood says will make you happy. But you know what? He developed a deadly disease. Tell me about that, Nasir.
NASIR: I got very sick. And it started off with blisters on the side of my neck, and by the morning, it had grown to blisters half-inch in size on the side of my…
SID: This isn’t supposed to happen to you. But of course, you were working about 18 hours a day. So your immune system was ripped down, minus zero.
NASIR: They rushed me to the hospital. I had passed out twice that night. They rushed me to hospital, Toronto General Hospital, in Toronto, Canada, in the emergency section. They diagnosed it as the worse case of shingles ever recorded in history. I was in so much pain that…
SID: But wait a second. I had shingles and I was in pain, but I couldn’t die from it.
NASIR: This one was from the top of my head all the way down the side of my face, this ear, this neck, this shoulder. They admitted me to the hospital. The next morning, this ear was touching this shoulder. It was like a balloon. I looked like a leper, deformed on this side. And my immune system was not fighting back.
SID: Now you have a picture of that. Will you show us that?
NASIR: Yes, absolutely. This is what I looked like in that hospital room. Blisters – one inch in size, chicken pox, temperature, 107.6, and brain damage. In this condition with hyperthermia, they left me to die.
SID: Well the doctors actually came into the hospital, standing over your bed.
NASIR: Yes.
SID: They think you’re out of it, you’re sleeping
NASIR: Yes.
SID: What did you hear them say?
NASIR: They examined me and they said, “His immune system has shut down. This is spreading across his body. We can’t do anything about the hyperthermia because the brain had cooked itself.” And they said I would probably be dead by the morning. In fact, Anita, they took her out of the room afterwards and explained to her that, (a) if I lived…
SID: This is someone that worked with you.
NASIR: Yes. I would be blind, my ear deaf, there’s brain damage. This side of the face would be paralyzed. And if I lived, I would be a vegetable, but probably I would be dead by the morning.
SID: Okay. You hear this horrible report. You’re a Moslem.
NASIR: Yes.
SID: What does a Moslem think when he gets a death sentence like that?
NASIR: Allah is not a healer. Mohammed is not healer. So we don’t turn to Allah to heal us. We assume that we’re going to die. But I was afraid of death, Sid. I was petrified of death.
SID: Why?
NASIR: I didn’t know what was on the other side, but I was afraid of it. And the very people that I had my faith in, my trust in were those doctors, and they had just given up. What do you do when the people you got your trust in have given up on you and left you to die? In fear, I cried out. I said, “God, if you’re real, don’t let me die.” That’s what I cried out. Mohammed didn’t come. Allah didn’t come. But that night in that room, there appeared a figure at the end of the bed. And this person…
SID: Wait a second. Had you ever seen something supernatural like this before in your entire life?
NASIR: No, never.
SID: Your first time.
NASIR: Yes.
SID: Okay. Now there’s this figure…
NASIR: Yes.
SID: …and are you scared?
NASIR: No.
SID: What’s going on?
NASIR: No, not at all. I wasn’t scared at all. In the middle of the night I see this figure at the end of the bed, and it was the outline of a person with light radiating from them. I couldn’t tell you the way the face looked. But all I could see was this outline of a person with light. Now I knew it was Jesus. These people come to me and they say, “But you’re a Moslem. Moslems don’t know Jesus.” Oh yes they do. If you read the Koran, Jesus is mentioned many times as a good man, as a healer, as a prophet. Even his birth is mentioned and that he healed people.
SID: But the main thing that I understand about Islam, they say God has no son.
NASIR: That’s exactly right.
SID: I mean, look at the mosque. They have it right on top in Jerusalem.
NASIR: That’s right, he has no son. Well this person that appeared said two things: “I am the God of the Christians, and I’m the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.”
SID: Wait a second. As a Moslem, isn’t it Abraham, Ishmael, and Jacob?
NASIR: Ishmael was supposed to be the first born, not Isaac. But that’s not what this person said. Abraham, “Isaac.” So to me, it meant a whole lot. But even more astounding was that the next morning, the same doctors walked in and they said, “We don’t understand what’s happened. It is a miracle. It has gone into remission.” Instead of spreading, they are starting to decrease
SID: Now when they said that to you, what did you think?
NASIR: I said, Look, I don’t know what tell you, but there was a person…
SID: Did you tell them? You told them!
NASIR: Yes,
SID: And they’re gonna put you in a mental ward!
NASIR: I told them, “There was Jesus here and he healed me.”
SID: A Muslim saying that. They’re gonna put him away.
NASIR: They didn’t believe me. And that became a test case in the city of Toronto, “Why is this man alive?” In fact, they said it’s gone into remission so much, you can go home now. And I said, “No, I don’t want to go home.” That was my security. That little room was my security.
SID: You wanted that man to come back.
NASIR: Yes, absolutely. They released me the next day. Now the problem was that even though it had gone into remission, my head still looked deformed. And so when I would walk down the street, people would cross over the other side. They didn’t know what was wrong with me
SID: But what did you do with this man saying, “I am the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob”? Isaac! Yitzhak!
NASIR: I know. It’s like, wait a minute. This doesn’t make any sense. Is this Jesus that appeared in my room? Is he a prophet the way the Moslems had taught me all my life, or is he the Son of God the way that Christians think?
SID: Hold that thought. Let’s find out how God supernaturally shows Nasir that he’s the Son of God. Jesus is the Son of God. It’s the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. Don’t go away. This is amazing.
