Islam is Evil? 18 facts Christian should know about Yusuf Estes

Islam no evil

Islam has been accused as evil. Yusuf Estes was a Christian preacher and he knows about Christian and Islam more than others. Does Estes sees Islam as evil? See 18 facts about Estes:

1. Estes ethnic background is English-Native American, Irish and German. He explained himself as "WASP" (white, Anglo-Saxon, Protestant).

2. He was born in Ohio on 1st January 1944, raised and educated in Texas and was a successful marketing entrepreneur and preacher of Christianity. His parents and their relatives were all 'good Christians.'

3. Estes’s father was an ordained minister, also a Sunday school minister, and a fund raiser for Christian schools. An 'expert' in the Bible and its translations.

4. From 1962 to 1990, he works in music industry, entertainment, marketing, as a music instructor and music minister and owned several musical instrument companies including the Estes Piano and Organ Company.

5. When he was about 50 years old, he started to become serious about “needed to do something for the Lord.” He works hard for this.

6. In early 1991, his farther asks him to doing business with a Muslim/Islam man from Egypt named Mohamed. Did not like the idea but later agreed after thinking that he can change this ‘evil’ man to Christian.

7. In the Spring of 1991, after ‘interogating’ Mohamed he got that Muslims believed in Jesus and the Bible. Muslim believes Jesus as a true messenger of God and the original Bible is the word of God.

8. Estes invites Mohamed to live with his family.

9. One day at the Veterans Hospital Estes met a man in a wheel chair, sharing Christian story with the man, and surprised to know that the man is actually a Catholic Priest. The man is Father Peter Jacob, a missionary for the church for over 12 years to south and Central America and Mexico.

10. Estes invited Jacob to live with his family.

11. Almost every night after dinner, the Estes family and Mohamed and Father Jacob would hold religion discussion. Estes’s father brings his King James Version of the Bible, Estes would bring Revised Standard Version of the Bible, and his wife has another version of the Bible. Father Jacob has the Catholic Bible. They spent more time discussing about which Bible was the right one or the most correct one, than trying to convince Mohamed about becoming a Christian.

12. At one point Estes asked Mohamed about the Quran and how many versions of it there were in the last 1,400 years. Mohamed told that there was only ONE QURAN and it had never been changed. Over the centuries since the Quran was revealed millions have memorized it completely from cover to cover, letter perfect without mistakes.

13. In a one fine day, Father Jacob asked Mohamed to accompany him to a mosque. They did not come back until dark and to Estes surprise when they come back Father Jacob has became a Muslim.

14. This is too much for Estes and he went upstairs to think things over a bit and talk to his wife about the situation. The wife then told him that she too is going to enter into Islam, because she knew it is the truth.

15. Estes woke up Mohamed and asked him to come outside with him for a discussion. They walked and talked that whole night. By the time a new day about to begin Estes knew that the truth had come at last.

16. Around 11:00 a.m. that morning, Estes announced his 'shahadah' i.e. became a Muslim. A few minutes later, his wife follows along. And, also their children.


17. Several months after the day, Estes’s father -the ordained minister- also enters Islam.

18. Since Estes becoming a chaplain to the Muslims in the US and around the world, he has encountered many more individuals who were leaders, teachers and scholars in Hindus, Jews, Catholics, Protestants, and other religions who learned about Islam and took Islam as their religion.

Is Islam evil? The preacher Yusuf Estes, the ordained minister (Estes’s father), the priest Father Peter Jacob (Estes’s friend), and many more found Islam is not evil and take Islam as their religion. It is easy to enter Islam:

"I bear witness, there is no deity to worship, except Almighty Allah, alone and He has no partners" and
"I bear witness that Mohammad is His messenger and servant."


As you pronounced it you have taken Islam as your religion. Contact your local Muslim Association immediately to register and to get help and guidance.
