Born in the Surat district of India in 1918, Ahmed Hoosen
Deedat had no recollection of his father until 1926. His father a
tailor by profession had emigrated to South Africa shortly after
the birth of Ahmed Deedat.
With no formal education and fighting off the extreme pangs of
poverty, he went to South Africa in 1927 to be with his father.
His farewell to his mother in India in 1927 was the last time he
saw her alive for she passed away a few months later.
In a foreign land, a boy of nine with no formal schooling and
command of the English language began preparing for the role
he was to play decades later without realizing it.
Applying himself with diligence to his studies, the little boy not
only was able to overcome the language barrier but excelled in
school. His avid passion for reading helped him gain promotions
until he completed standard 6. Lack of finance interrupted his
schooling and at the early age of about 16 he took on the first
of many jobs in retailing.
The most significant of these was in 1936 where he worked at a
Muslim owned store near a Christian seminary on the Natal
South Coast. The incessant insults of the trainee missionaries
hurled against Islam during their brief visits to the store infused
a stubborn flame of desire within the young man to counteract
their false propaganda.
As fate would have it, Ahmed Deedat discovered by pure chance
a book entitled Izharul-Haq, meaning the Truth revealed. This
book recorded the techniques and enormous success of the
efforts of Muslims in India in tuming the tables against Christian
missionary harassment during the British subjugation and rule of
India. In particular the idea of holding debates had a profound
effect on Ahmed Deedat.
Armed with this new found zeal, Ahmed Deedat purchased his
first Bible and began holding debates and discussions with the
365 Wisdoms of the Prophet Muhammad: Authentic Texts from the Hadith and Sunnah on the Family, Health, Success and Spiritual Growth (Collection - Islamic Books)
