About This Study Guide
At a glance: this is a 15-week study and discussion guide for Seeking Allah, Finding Jesus by Nabeel Qureshi, with 106 questions organized by reading assignment. Week 1 is free to read, with no card required.
Seeking Allah, Finding Jesus is Nabeel Qureshi's deeply personal memoir of growing up in a devout Ahmadi Muslim family and walking — slowly, painfully, and almost against his own will — toward faith in Jesus Christ. Nabeel was not a casual Muslim. He was raised to love Allah with his whole heart, trained to defend Islam against Christian arguments, and shaped by a family whose faith was the very fabric of their identity. The book's central argument is that the journey from Islam to Christianity is not primarily an intellectual one — it is a profoundly relational and spiritual one. Through his friendship with David Wood at Old Dominion University, his honest investigation of the historical evidence for the resurrection, and a series of extraordinary dreams and visions, Nabeel discovered that the cost of following truth might be everything he had ever loved. His story will unsettle comfortable assumptions on both sides: Muslims will encounter a careful, respectful engagement with Islamic scholarship, and Christians will be confronted with how high the price of conversion can be for those who come from the House of Islam.
Read the Foreword (by Lee Strobel) and Part 1 of Seeking Allah, Finding Jesus (chapters 1–5). Primary passage: John 14:6.
Before Nabeel's journey could begin, we need to understand the world he came from — a world of deep love, strong identity, and total devotion to Allah. Take your time with these opening chapters and let yourself feel the weight of what Nabeel stood to lose.
1.Lee Strobel's foreword frames this as a story of evidence, friendship, and courage. Before you read further, what do you expect from a book about a Muslim converting to Christianity? What assumptions are you bringing in?
2.Nabeel describes his family — his father Ammi, his mother Abba, and his sister Baji — as the most important people in his world. How does the portrait of a loving, faithful Muslim home challenge any stereotypes you may have held about Islam or Muslim families?
3.The Qureshi family belonged to the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community, a minority sect that faces intense persecution from mainstream Islam. Why is this detail important for understanding Nabeel's specific Islamic formation, and what does it tell us about the diversity within Islam itself?

A note from the founder: I’m Josh, and I built this because most Christian books don’t come with study materials — leaving volunteer leaders to build discussion questions from scratch on a Saturday night. That shouldn’t be the default. If anything about your guide isn’t right, reply to your order email and it comes straight to me.

Read chapters 6–10 of Seeking Allah, Finding Jesus. Key themes: Islamic apologetics, the shahada, the nature of the Quran.
1.Nabeel describes being trained in Islamic apologetics — arguments for the truth of Islam and against Christianity. Were you raised to defend your faith intellectually? How has that shaped (or limited) how you engage with people who believe differently?
Read chapters 11–15 of Seeking Allah, Finding Jesus. Key themes: the friendship between Nabeel and David Wood, honest dialogue, the role of relationship in evangelism.
1.Describe the early dynamic between Nabeel and David Wood. What made their friendship unusual, and why do you think it worked when so many interfaith conversations fail?
Read chapters 16–20 of Seeking Allah, Finding Jesus. Key themes: the reliability of the New Testament, manuscript evidence, the historical Jesus.
1.Nabeel had been taught that the Bible was hopelessly corrupted and unreliable. When he actually examined the manuscript evidence, what did he find — and how did that finding begin to destabilize his Islamic apologetics?
Read chapters 21–25 of Seeking Allah, Finding Jesus. Key passages: 1 Corinthians 15:3–8; Luke 24:36–49. Key themes: the resurrection of Jesus, the minimal facts argument.
1.Nabeel engages what scholars call the 'minimal facts' approach to the resurrection — focusing on facts that are accepted by the vast majority of historians, including skeptics. What are these minimal facts, and why is this method a powerful tool in dialogue with non-Christians?
Read chapters 26–30 of Seeking Allah, Finding Jesus. Key passages: John 8:58; Mark 14:61–64; Philippians 2:5–11. Key themes: the deity of Christ, Islamic vs. Christian views of Jesus.
1.Islam has a high view of Jesus — it teaches that he was born of a virgin, performed miracles, and will return at the end of time. Why, then, is the Islamic Jesus so fundamentally different from the Christian Jesus, and why does that difference matter so much?
Read chapters 31–35 of Seeking Allah, Finding Jesus. Key passages: Matthew 10:34–39; Luke 14:26–27. Key themes: the cost of discipleship, family, honor, and identity.
1.Nabeel describes knowing intellectually that Christianity was true while being emotionally and relationally unable to embrace it. Have you ever experienced a gap between what you knew to be true and what you were able to act on? What kept you from the next step?
Read chapters 36–40 of Seeking Allah, Finding Jesus. Key passages: Acts 2:17; Joel 2:28. Key themes: supernatural revelation, dreams, God's direct pursuit of a soul.
1.Dreams play a significant role in both the Old and New Testaments as a means of divine communication. How does the broader biblical framework for dreams (Acts 2:17; Matthew 1–2) inform how we evaluate Nabeel's experience?
Read chapters 46–50 of Seeking Allah, Finding Jesus. Key passages: Matthew 10:32–33; Luke 15:11–32. Key themes: confession, family grief, the fellowship of Christ's sufferings.
1.Describe the scene when Nabeel tells his parents about his conversion. How do his mother and father each respond, and what does their response reveal about the depth of what has been lost — and what each person loves most?
Read chapters 51–55 of Seeking Allah, Finding Jesus. Key passages: 2 Corinthians 5:17; Romans 12:1–2. Key themes: discipleship, new identity, the church as family.
1.What was it like for Nabeel to enter a Christian community for the first time as a believer? What surprised him, confused him, or delighted him about how Christians worship and do life together?
Read chapters 56–60 of Seeking Allah, Finding Jesus. Key passages: 1 Peter 3:15; Acts 17:22–31. Key themes: Christian apologetics, engaging Islam, the calling to bear witness.
1.Nabeel went from being a defender of Islam to being a defender of Christianity. What unique gifts and experiences did his Muslim background give him as a Christian apologist that someone who had never been Muslim could not easily replicate?
Read chapters 61 through the Epilogue of Seeking Allah, Finding Jesus. Key passages: Philippians 3:7–11; Revelation 21:3–5. Key themes: ongoing cost, ongoing grace, eternal hope.
1.By the time of the book's writing, what was the state of Nabeel's relationship with his family? What does this tell us about the long, non-linear nature of the healing that follows conversion?
Review the appendices and supplemental material in Seeking Allah, Finding Jesus (if included in your edition). Recommended passages: Genesis 16 (Ishmael); Galatians 4:21–31; John 1:1–18.
1.Nabeel's book, beyond being a memoir, functions as an introduction to Islam for Christians. What are the three or four most important things you learned about Islam from this book that you did not know before?
