In March 1960, the Reverend Dr. Graham made negative remarks about Islam. While touring African countries, he was promptly challenged to a prayer contest by Shaikh Mubarak Ahmad then missionary-in-charge in East Africa, to \u201cdetermine who it is blessed with God\u2019s grace and mercy and who it is upon whom His door remains closed.\u201d<br><br>He suggested that an equal number of patients who had been diagnosed of incurable diseases by the medical practitioners of Kenya should be allocated through a drawing to the reverend evangelist and to the flag-bearer of Islam in Kenya, Shaikh Mubarak Ahmad. Both the antagonists should pray to the Almighty God for the recovery of their respective group of patients. That party\u2019s religion would be considered as the true religion of God whose patients were cured. If the Reverend Graham declined, Shaikh Mubarak Ahmad argued, it would be proved to the world that Islam was the religion that could establish man\u2019s relationship with God. Billy Graham declined the offer.
