Answered Prayer Followed by Attack

A Christian woman’s husband was beaten after he placed his faith in Christ through her witness. Zaynab, whose story was shared in VOM’s December 2025 issue, became a Christian through the love of Christ she saw in other believers. Her husband, Sajjad, strongly opposed her new faith, and Zaynab asked for prayer that Sajjad’s heart would change. This prayer request was shared on iCommitToPray.com in April 2026. In the summer of 2026, Sajjad placed his trust in Christ. But when some former colleagues learned of his conversion, they called him an infidel and severely beat him. “Please pray for Sajjad and Zaynab as they grow in their Christian faith as a couple,” requested a front-line worker, adding that Zaynab recently gave birth, giving the couple their first opportunity to raise a child in a Christian home.
