Daniel Scot was born and educated in Pakistan. He excelled as a student and in time became a Mathematics Professor in University Colleges in Pakistan. He has been involved in sharing his faith with Muslims since 1965 when he was in junior high school.

It was the active sharing of his faith that resulted in him being the first Christian to be charged under Pakistan’s infamous Blasphemy Law (295C) in September 1986. Daniel was delivered from the life-threatening situation that he found himself in and was able to flee Pakistan, followed by his family two and half years later. 

​In Australia, Daniel saw the need for inter-faith dialogue to eradicate misunderstandings between Christians and Muslims. Since that time Daniel has devoted himself to religious matters - teaching Christians about Islam and Muslims about Christianity & Islam (many Muslims know very little about what really the Qur’an and Hadith teach).

Daniel Scot is the co-directors of Ibrahim Ministries International Inc. (IMI). Ibrahim is the name of Abraham from the Bible, a name that Jews, Christians, and Muslims consider to be pivotal in their respective religions. Daniel has been involved in full-time research and teaching on Islam since 1994 throughout Africa, Australia, America, Asia, and Europe (over fifty nations).  He strongly believes that people ought to live out their faith with a clear understanding of what their faith teaches.
