A Jew Converts to Islam After 60 Years – I Saw Muhammad (pbuh) in the Bible!

Summary of the Video’s Main Points

• Personal origin and early faith (Judaism): Abu Mujahid describes being born to conservative American Jewish parents in the mid-20th century. He was raised with strong monotheistic beliefs (e.g., “Hear, O Israel”) and kept kosher and Sabbath observance at home. Over time, he says he began questioning his beliefs due to world events and doubts about how religion was taught to him.

• A turning point: searching for truth: He cites major historical shocks (including the Kennedy assassination) as part of what pushed him to search for deeper truth. He portrays his religious education as more performative than explanatory—memorizing religious material without understanding its meaning.

• Three-year detour into Christianity and other spiritual practice: After leaving college, he lived on a farm in Tennessee, traveled, and then entered a monastery for three years, where he became Christian and studied the Bible extensively. He says he left due to contradictions he perceived. He then studied meditation/energy practices taught by a man from India, but still felt something was “not right.”

• Near-death experiences (before Islam): He recounts extraordinary incidents where he believed Allah saved him:

  • 1971 (Ohio Turnpike): He says he fell out of a dangerous hitchhiking situation and experienced “slow motion,” a light “cocoon,” and a warning-like voice (“Not yet, not yet”). He survived with minor injuries.
  • Florida (12-story building): He says he was about to fall from a 12-story building while doing a roof estimate and felt a “big hand” push him back onto safety.

• Conversion to Islam at age 60: He says his son urged him to look for Muhammad in the Bible and Gospel. After praying and reading, he claims key passages “popped out” to him with new clarity, including interpretations linking:

  • Deuteronomy 18:18 (prophet like Moses) to Muhammad,
  • John 16:13 (spirit of truth) to Muhammad,
  • Deuteronomy 33:2 (Sinai/Seir/Paran) to events tied to Mecca and Muhammad’s birth. He describes his transition as a moment of certainty—comparing it to realizing “you can’t back up” once you understand the way forward.

• Emotional and spiritual experience of accepting Islam: He describes feeling “fresh” after taking the shahada, believing sins were forgiven. He narrates intense bodily/emotional reactions during his realizations (tears appearing in a striking way, chest/rib opening, heart “exploding” in a positive way), interpreting it as divine guidance.

• Reaction from family and life after conversion: He reports mixed reactions: some relatives stopped speaking with him, others stayed connected, and some friends accepted him while others viewed him as “crazy.” He says he does not regret becoming Muslim, though it has been difficult at times.

• Answered prayer example: He shares that he asked Allah for a pious, non-materialistic wife, and later married a woman who—he says—used the same words he prayed for when they met.

• Views on Israel/Palestine and Zionism (political commentary): The video shifts into strong political claims:

  • He describes a spectrum of Israeli Jewish attitudes, from ultra-Orthodox anti-Zionists to violent hardliners, and says dominant leadership is starving Palestinians and expanding operations.
  • He claims there is an ideology he calls “Greater Israel” (from the Nile to the Euphrates) and argues it aims at broader regional takeover and eventual world-order restructuring.
  • He alleges U.S. political capture by Zionists and discusses a proposed congressional law (as he states it) to punish certain pro-Palestine or anti-Israel speech under the label of “anti-Antisemitism.”
  • He frames recent events as historically repeating and suggests wrongdoing is planned/choreographed, not accidental.

• Message to Prophet Muhammad and to the wider public:

  • He says if Muhammad entered the room, he would greet him with Assalamualaikum and thank him for guiding him out of ignorance.
  • In a “one-minute” appeal to society, he emphasizes monotheism (“one God”), Muhammad as the final messenger, and invites people to “discover your birthright” by learning Islam.
