Early life and ministry

Siddiki was a very wealthy marketing executive at A.L. Williams, now Primerica Financial Services before a life-threatening bout with shingles in 1987, at the age of thirty-four, which he testifies led to his conversion from Islam to Christianity. About his conversion to Christianity Siddiki often^[when?] says: "Although I worshipped Allah, Allah was not a healing god..So there I was at 35, a dying Muslim...so all that I coud [sic] do is cry out to God...Allah never answered...then I cried out to the God of the Christians and asked Him "If you are real, please help me, and heal me!" then Jesus miraculously healed me!"^{[attribution needed]}
