          From Islam to Christ the story of Madame Bilquis Sheikh (1912-1997)

 

Author of "I Dared to Call Him Father" her testimony on Truthnet.org

 

Madame Bilquis Sheikh came from a family in Pakistan which held governmental power for 700 years! It was while her father was Cabinet Minister and her husband's term as Minister of the Interior that she became born again in 1966. Her simple trust in God was displayed by calling Him 'Father' which became the title of her book "I Dared to Call Him Father" first published in 1978.

The phrase comes from an answer God gave her when she asked Him which holy book she should read, the Koran (Q'uran) or the Bible. His response was to read the one that referred to Him as Father! She followed His direction which resulted in her family's attempt to kill her. In 1968 she spoke at a Billy Graham meeting in 1968 while he was in Singapore.

Then in 1973 she moved to the United States.She returned to Pakistan in 1989 following a heart attack where she remained until 1997 when she fell asleep. She lies buried in an old Christian graveyard in the Himalayan Mountains.

The epitaph on her tombstone reads;

“Bilquis Born 12-12-12 Died 9-4-97 Loving the Lord“
