Daughter of Hamas founder finds Christ

Juman Al Qawasmi

The daughter of a Hamas founder and former wife of a Hamas member has spoken about how she became a Christian after seeing Jesus in a dream.

Juman Al Qawasmi was born and raised in Qatar. In a recent interview, she said her parents raised their children to hate Israel, Jews, Christians – “everyone who does not belong to Hamas”.

She lived in Gaza with her husband for 13 years, but by 2012 Juman began to question what Hamas was doing when they took control of Gaza; and also realised something was wrong with Islam. She tells how she had never been satisfied with God and felt like he would never be happy in her. “Islam does not give you peace,” she said.
