Ibrahim wears deep lines on his forehead, and bears a scar across his left cheek.
At first glance, he looks tough, capable, self-assured. His hard stare seems to convey a warning. But when he smiles, his face tells a different story – one of hope, of quiet change, and new beginnings. It’s a story of spiritual transformation, which is capturing the hearts of thousands of prisoners worldwide, through Prison Fellowship International and the Christianity Explored course.
Muslim faith
Ibrahim came to prison devout in his Muslim faith. He completed Qur’anic studies twice and became a teacher to new Muslim inmates. He knew about Christ – ‘Isa’ in Islam – but he didn’t understand him.
