Asad was born in a strong Muslim family and was sent to study the Quran at age seven. One day he was walking down a dusty road in the village, studying the Quran, when he saw something unexpected: a man with a long beard waving and smiling at him. At the same time, he heard a voice saying “Jesus.” This happened for three days in a row, so Asad finally shared what had happened with his mom. In response, she called the sheikhs to recite the Quran over him, believing that he was demon-possessed.
