Birth and Early Life

Ahmad Deedat was born in 1918 in Tadkeshwar, Gujarat, India.

Soon after his birth, his father emigrated to South Africa, where Deedat later joined him. He excelled in his studies, but financial constraints forced him to leave school and start working at the age of 16.

Encounters with Christian Missionaries and Intellectual Awakening

In 1936, while working in Durban, Deedat encountered Christian missionaries who claimed that Prophet Muhammad had spread Islam by force through the "sword." This encounter, along with the writings of Rahmatullah Kairanvi's "Izhar-ul-Haq," sparked his interest in comparative religion.
