മുപ്പത്തിനാലാം വയസില്‍ അന്തരിച്ച നബീല്‍ ഖുറൈഷിയെപറ്റി മലയാളിയായ സുവിശേഷകന്‍ രവി സഖറിയാസ് വാഷിംഗ്ടണ്‍ പോസ്റ്റില്‍ എഴുതിയ ലേഖനം 

Why this Muslim-turned-Christian speaker resonated with so many before his death at 34

The first time I saw him, he sat at a table across from me, one of his legs constantly moving almost subconsciously, as though he was warming up for a run. It was a habit of his restless disposition to stand and gallop. I asked if we could talk about his mission in life. He joined me in the back seat of the car, that leg still moving.

That was Nabeel Qureshi. He hated sitting still. He was a man with a mission, ready to run. Sadly, for us, he died Saturday at a young age of 34 after a year of battling stomach cancer. Nabeel, who was raised in a Muslim-American family and converted to Christianity after a fellow college student sparked his interest in Christianity, worked with me in Christian apologetics.

The field of apologetics deals with the hard questions posed to the Christian faith. Each of us has a worldview, whether we recognize it or not. A worldview basically offers answers to four necessary questions: origin, meaning, morality and destiny. Christian apologetics is the discipline of answering people’s specific questions and making the truth claims clear. We aim to engage people in meaningful interactions with gentleness and respect, bearing in mind that behind every question is a questioner.

He did fight a good fight,finished his course, and kept the faith. He had gone to receive the crown of righeousness from the Righteous Judge (Lord Jesus). He read the koran and read the Bible with his friends at college (American friends) and realized that Bible is right.He accepted Jesus as his Savoir,and lived as a fighter towards the kingdom of Heaven until his last breath.My condolesnes towards his loving wife and daughter.

My prayers for Nabeel's wife and daughter. I ask Why ? Even Jesus in the cross asked why? But in silence we still experience His peace. May God continue to bless Nabeel's family.
