📄 Transcript
Kuwaiti Seeker tells the story of Yaqob, a young Kuwaiti Muslim who sought the truth of God. He believed he could find the truth on his own. Raised in Islam, Yaqob searched for the truth in the faith of his childhood. Yaqob went to the Quran and he found instructions for behavior, but he couldn't follow these rules. He fell into sin. He studied the Hadiths, the recordings of the life of the prophet Muhammad. But when he pursued these studies in his graduate years, he questioned their authenticity, and slowly his quest for truth vanished. Jacob was stalked by his sins, sins of all kinds, and he found he couldn't erase them. God gave him a faithful wife, Rabia, which means in Arabic, springtime. Rabia came to know Jesus through her reading of the Bible. She wanted Yaacob to know Jesus, but she couldn't save him. When the Iraqis invaded Kuwait, Yaacob deserted his family. When he returned after the war, Rabia took him back, but still Yaacob suffered in doubt and unbelief in any truth of God. Find out how the Lord brought Yaacob to know the truth.
