May Allah accept him in the highest Paradise, and may
Allah inspires us with patience to deal with losing this
great man.

In 1986, the King Faisal Foundation awarded the King
Faisal International Prize for SERVICE TO ISLAM, to a
South African who is more or better known than many
dignitaries in their own countries. This was the first
time that this prestigious award has been awarded to a
South African.
The recipient of this award was a man totally dedicated to
his faith and its propagation and who was not afraid to
challenge any one to a debate to settle once and for all
the matter, who has the good news right?
He was none other than Sheikh Ahmed Deedat, reverently
known and called UNCLE by those who hold him in high
esteem and admiration.
The award came after a lifetime of struggle to propagate
Islam and to defend Islam against the onslaught of the
missionaries.
Finally, he was given recognition by the international
Muslim community that he deserved and focussed more
sharply the attention of the Muslim world on the most
important aspect of his work, the challenge to propagate
Islam. This was his life long ambition to focus the Muslim
world's attention and resources on the propagation of
Islam, and at last he succeeded. What a moment of
jubilation, achievement and personal gratification for
Sheikh Deedat the award was, a turning point in his life.
