After all the arguments and evidence, Nabeel encounters something he didn't expect — God speaking to him directly through dreams. These chapters raise profound questions about how God works, and they are unlike anything else in the book.
Discussion Questions
7 questions1.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?
2.Nabeel describes a series of dreams that seem unmistakably to be pointing him toward Jesus — dreams with imagery he could not have generated from his own imagination, imagery that corresponded to specific biblical themes he had been studying. How do you evaluate this kind of testimony? What would you need to believe in order to take it seriously?
3.It is well documented in missionary literature and in testimonies from the Muslim world that dreams and visions of Jesus are unusually common among Muslims who come to faith. Why do you think God might work this way — especially in contexts where there are few Christian witnesses or where open evangelism is dangerous?
