Ahmed Hussein Deedat was born in India on 1 July 1918. His family lived in Surat. Shortly after the birth of his father Ahmad Hussain Deedat learned about the new financial possibilities that had been opened in the fast growing economy of South Africa. He soon found a job tailor. Hussain Deedat had to make a risky but bold choice to leave her young son in India under the care of her mother. And only 9 years young Ahmad saw his father. When the position of Hussein became more favourable and stable, he decided to bring his son to South Africa. And that's when Ahmad got his first passport issued by the British colonial administration.

Ahmad Deedat - biography

Ahmad's Journey across the continent was marked by a series of interesting cases and was an unforgettable experience for nine year old boy. He went to South Africa alone, in a long voyage. By the grace of Allah the young Ahmad arrived safely at the place in August 1927. Just a few days before his arrival African government has set strict rules for arrival of migrants in the country and has set a deadline after which no child could come into the country unaccompanied by his mother. Ahmad arrived in port only 24 hours after the ban. The new law came into full force. This meant that Ahmad Deedat and the other children on the ship should be returned to India. However, his father had made every effort to avoid this. Ahmad was the only child that day allowed into the country. The strong character of the father, his power and confidence was passed on to Ahmad, who later became a great person.

Education

Ahmad Deedat went to school. And despite the fact that he never attended school, it was soon discovered that he is ahead of the level of knowledge of all their classmates. In just 6 months of study he became the best student in the class. However, his bright future and prospects in the study was marred by the heavy pain of loss-his mother died. She lived only a few months after the son went to South Africa.

Emotional distress Ahmad intensified even more when he was faced with financial problems. He found that the father has no money to pay for school. His sadness and concern was seen by one local businessman. He promised Ahmad to pay all the costs of their studies. However, this promise turned out to be a trick. Dad had to pick up the boy from school. Like millions of his peers, young Ahmad was forced to engage in trade. He found a job 30 km from Durban, in the old local shop, which was located opposite of the Christian missionary parish. Here gathered young Africans for the spread of Christianity in South Africa. These young people often frequented the shop where he worked Ahmad, and read to him the sermon, and sometimes staged entire debates. Ahmad Deedat was trying to defend his faith.

Ahmad Deedat and religion

This work was carried out continuously day after day. And for the young Ahmad it became so unbearable that in spite of the difficulties in finding work, he seriously began to think about how to resign and to devote himself to religion. Knowing only the testimony of faith and the basic tenets of Islam, Ahmad found that he is unable to protect their own religion. However, he felt an irresistible urge, the inner impulse that pushed him to seek knowledge that would help him to strengthen your faith and bring clarity in his spiritual life. But it turned out that all the answers he was looking for lay on the surface.

The Moment of enlightenment came when Ahmad decided to explore the warehouse store. There he found an old book that forever changed his life. Ahmad realized that she was able to answer all the questions tormenting his mind. The book was a description of many meetings between Muslims and the Christian missionaries who came to India to preach the gospel. The book also contained a article about an interesting debate that took place between the Muslim scholars and missionaries. For the young Deedat it was a religious story. Ahmad Deedat began to study it.
