Arab Royal Mocked Jesus Publicly in Dubai, Then Dropped to One Knee in Shock
On December 15th, 2018, I stood before 5,000 Muslims in Dubai and spent 45 minutes mocking Jesus Christ, calling him weak, defeated, and unworthy of worship.
4 days later, Jesus appeared to me in a government meeting, and I dropped to my knees in front of 30 witnesses who watched in shock as a royal prince collapsed without explanation.
Have you ever been absolutely certain you were defending truth only to discover you were attacking the very god you claimed to serve?
My name is Prince Khaled bin Rashid al- Nahan. I am 38 years old. On December 15th, 2018, I did something so public and so terrible that it should have ended any chance of God ever forgiving me.
I stood on a stage in Dubai and mocked Jesus Christ in front of 5,000 people for 45 minutes.
I called him weak. I called him defeated. I said he was not worthy of worship.
I was completely sure I was defending Islam and protecting Muslims from lies. I had no idea that Jesus was about to change my entire life in just 72 hours.
I was born in Abu Dhabi in 1980. My grandfather helped create the United Arab Emirates.
My father worked as minister of foreign affairs for more than 20 years. My mother was a princess from Saudi Arabia.
Her family protected Islam’s holiest places in Mecca and Medina. From the day I was born, I was surrounded by more money than most people could imagine, more power than most people would ever have, and more religious respect than most people would ever receive.
Our family palace in Abu Dhabi had 47 bedrooms. We had an indoor mosque that could fit 200 people for prayer.
We had a private teacher who lived with us just to teach me the Quran.
I grew up with everything a child could want. We had private jets to fly anywhere in the world.
We had exotic cars that cost more than houses. We had vacation homes in London and Paris.
We had servants who did everything for us. But my family made sure that even with all this wealth, we never forgot our duty to Allah.
We never became like the rich people in the west who cared only about money and pleasure.
Every single morning, my father would say the same thing to me. Khaled, Allah has given us wealth as a test.
We must use it to make Islam stronger. We must never become corrupted like the western people who worship money instead of God.
I believe those words with my whole heart. While other rich children spend their money on parties and wild living, I spend mine building mosques in Africa and Asia.
I paid for Islamic schools. I sent money to Muslim teachers who spread Islam around the world.
By the time I was 25 years old, I had degrees from Oxford University in England.
I studied politics and Islamic teaching. I could argue about religion in Arabic, English, and French.
I had memorized large parts of the Quran. I could quote the hadith, the sayings of Muhammad like a scholar.
I was everything a modern Muslim prince should be. I had studied in the West, but I never stopped being committed to Islam.
I was rich, but I was generous. I had political power but I cared about spiritual things.
Look inside your own heart right now. Have you ever felt like you were born for a special reason?
That is exactly how I felt about my life. I believed Allah had made me a prince for one specific purpose to defend Islam against Christianity.
This was not just a fear in my mind. It was based on real things I was seeing happen around me.
Between 2010 and 2018, I watched Christian missionaries become braver and braver in the Gulf countries.
They were not coming as traditional missionaries wearing crosses and giving out Bibles. They were coming as business people, as teachers, as doctors and as aid workers.
They would become friends with Muslims. They would earn trust. Then slowly they would start talking about their faith.
Some Muslims were actually converting to Christianity. This was especially true for young people who had studied in Europe or America and came back home asking questions about traditional Islam.
This made me deeply upset. I could not understand how any Muslim, especially Arab Muslims who had been blessed with oil, money and political power, could leave Islam for Christianity.
It seemed like the worst kind of betrayal. It was not just turning away from Allah.
It was turning away from our culture, our history, and our identity as Arab people.
I started speaking publicly about this danger. I warned Muslim communities that uh Christian missionaries were trying to trick them.
My speeches became very popular very quickly. I spoke at universities. I spoke at business meetings.
I spoke at Islamic gatherings all across the Emirates. Young Muslims especially liked my message because I was not some old imam preaching from a mosque.
I was a prince who had studied at Oxford. I understood the modern world. I spoke their language.
I could explain Islamic arguments using examples they understood. In 2017, I started something called the Fortress of Faith Initiative.
I used my family money to fight against Christian missionary work in the UAE. We create smart social media campaigns.
We showed Muslims what we called the tricks Christians used to convert people. We paid for training to help young Muslims argue against Christian beliefs.
We even hired former Christians who had become Muslims to speak about why they left Christianity.
The program worked incredibly well. Within one year, we had reached more than 2 million Muslims across the Gulf with our message.
I was invited to speak at events all over the region. Religious leaders thanked me for my work.
Government officials praised me for protecting Islamic values while keeping the UA’s reputation as a modern tolerant nation.
I felt like I had found my calling, the divine assignment Allah had given me.
Um, ask yourself this question. Have you ever been so sure you were fighting for truth that you never questioned if your methods were right?
