Ultimate Triumph - The Way to God's Salvation (DVD)

Salvation is the question Christianity is built around, and it is the question a Christian audience brings to Islam first: how are you saved?

Shaykh Yusuf Estes is unusually placed to answer it. He spent his working life giving the Christian answer professionally, and he explains what changed and why — not as a comparison of doctrines from outside, but as an account of moving from one to the other.

Why It Works on Christian Audiences

Because he takes the question seriously rather than dismissing its premise. A Muslim speaker who begins by explaining that the question is wrongly framed has lost the room. He begins where his listener is.

Who It Is For

Da'wah to Christians in particular, and new Muslims from a Christian background who are still working through what they have left behind.

About Shaykh Yusuf Estes

Shaykh Yusuf Estes embraced Islam at the age of fifty, after meeting a Muslim for the first time in his life. Until then he had believed that all Muslims were terrorists and bombers. He was a priest and a Christian musician and minister, as well as the owner of several music stores.

A former preacher against Islam, he despised having to meet a Muslim — but, being a dutiful servant of the cross, he decided he would convert this Muslim who needed to be saved in the name of Jesus. His encounter with that man, and the events that followed, affected him and his family greatly. Eventually he, his wife and children embraced Islam, as did his father and stepmother.

That history is why his lectures land the way they do with non-Muslim audiences. He is not describing objections he has read about; he held them himself, and argued them professionally.
