The story of an Iraqi former Muslim who came to faith after seeing Jesus in a dream is remarkable.

“I was sleeping, and I saw someone coming towards me,” Yasin* told Open Doors UK & Ireland, “I cannot describe how beautiful He was. His hair was long, He wore a scarf on His head. He was so beautiful, I could not stop looking at Him. He put his hand on my head and said, ‘You are my beloved child; this is the way, follow me.’”

Reportedly, a Muslim friend told Yasin that the dream was from the devil, and not to think about it anymore. Not believing the devil was responsible, Yasin asked a Christian friend in the village who told him: “This is God showing Himself to you.”
