Incredible Quranic prophecy has forced Ahmed Deedat to use the same word predicted by the Quran to describe God’s messenger. As shown on page 3, Deedat’s telegram is all in English, except for the word “KAZZAAB”!!!.
They wondered that a warner should be chosen from among them: the disbelievers said, “ He is a magician; a “KAZZAAB” . Does he want to make the god’s into one God? This is really strange. [38:4–5]
They said, “ Shall we follow a man like us? We will then be wrong and stupid. Did the message come down to him, instead of us? He is a flagrant ‘KAZZAAB’.” They will find out tomorrow who the KAZZAAB is. [54:24–25]
It is consistent with the Quran’s miracle that Deedat had to use the very same word prophesied by the Quran in 38:4 & 54:25. At the same time God willed to expose Deedat as the true KAZZAAB..
I CHALLENGE DEEDAT TO A WORLD-WIDE DEBATE TO BE RECORDED ON VIDEO.
To escape from debating me, Deedat resorts to impossible conditions (like demanding the Madison Square Garden)!!!
If Deedat is honest, he will accept my challenge.
Here is documented proof that Ahmed Deedat now a dedicated servant of Shaytan, is a liar. Mr. Deedat sent a telegram challenging me to debate him. I sent a telegram back, ON THE SAME DAY, accepting his challenge. Obviously, Mr. Deedat is ignorant of the fact that here in USA, we receive a confirmation copy of any telegram we send, complete with the date and time. So, Mr. Deedat published his BIG lies stating that I did not accept his flimsy and cowardly challenge. Here are the photocopies proving that he is the real KAZZAAB (Liar).

TO AHMAD DEEDAT, SERVANT OF SHAYTAN, I ACCEPT YOUR CHALLANGE. I NAME THE PLACE,
RASHAD KHALIFA
(Message from Ahmad Wehbe)
Peace be upon you,
Ahmad Deedat insisted on deceiving people and saying that Rashad rejected the challenge. However, the truth is that Rashad did accept the challenge, but it is better and more educational if it was in a peaceful and comfortable environment and recorded on tape for all the people to see.
Please note that Ahmad Deedat is calling Code 19 a theory and is being slightly dismissive of it, pretending it isn’t important. However, there are historical documentations exposing Ahmad Deedats hypocrisy in this matter.
There are sermons and booklets by Ahmad Deedat where he praises Rashad Khalifa for the discovery of the Code 19, the video below reveals Ahmad Deedats interest in the Code 19:
He didn’t like the fact that the message Rashad Khalifa was delivering was opposing the worship of prophet Muhammad.
Ahmad Deedat is among those who suffer in the Heart of Hell.
Here are my personal thoughts on the matter:
The Location was unholy
I think it was great that Rashad Khalifa changed the location of the debate. It is evident that Muslim preachers such as Ahmad Deedat are treating the religion as a celebrity contest. Why on earth would Ahmad Deedat even suggest Madison Square Garden as the location to debate with a messenger of God. Would Ahmad Deedat also invite prophet Muhammad to debate him in a public place like that? Madison Square Garden, A SPORTS AND ENTERTAINMENT CENTER.
Is religion a sport or entertainment?
A university or library would have been much more respectable. However, the best would have been a masjid, a house of God! And that’s what Rashad Khalifa suggested, that the debate is held in a place of worship.
The challenge was disrespectful towards a messenger of God
God tells us not to shout or raise our voice against His messengers. And this is exactly what Ahmad Deedat was doing, he was being disrespectful towards Rashad Khalifa, for many reasons.
- The challenge begins by calling Rashad “Al Kazzaab”, (The Liar).
- The challenge requests Rashad takes back his claim of messengership.
- And Accept Muhammad as the FINAL prophet AND messenger of ALLAH.
This is how Ahmad Deedat addressed a messenger of God. This is how he would have addressed prophet Muhammad if he lived at his time!
The requests were even non-factual and insulting. Nobody with any sense of honor would accept this.
Who is the boss?
Imagine if anybody could command God’s messenger.
Hey, messenger, do this.
Hey, messenger, come here!
Hey, messenger, I challenge you with this.
Hey, messenger, if you don’t do this then you’re a liar!
What would the people say about a messenger who allows himself to be pushed around like that?
When Rashad Khalifa changed the circumstances of the debate, he took control of the situation and sent the ball of responsibility back into the hands of the challenger.
And the challenger, Ahmad Deedat, proved his own arrogance and deception. He wasn’t interested in a debate, he was more interested in forcing Rashad Khalifa onto a public sports stage with him, so Ahmad Deedat could insult and curse Rashad in public and brag “look at me, I can force onto the stage whomever I want”.
Thank you and GOD bless.
