Bismillah
I was born in lebanon,my father is druze(non-mslim) and my mother
christian. I had all christian learnings from my christian school, and
my mother home encouraged me to learn more about jesus. This lasted till
my late adolescence, when i realised that Bible,although a good book,did
not penetrate to the depth of my Soul. It is the story of jesus and his
actions ,but i could not find in it the majesty of the words of God.
So i asked God to guide me to his way,in any religion he chooses
for me,but since my home embiance is not favoring islam ,i could not imagine
that God wanted me to be a Muslim. I was even very bothered to hear Azan
or see any Islamic activity. After that , i travelled to russia to study
,there i lived with my Christian girlfriend. My neighbour was muslim,
sometimes he told me about Islam but as usual i could not hear anything
about it. One day, my girlfriend was in the bus,she heard people
telling jokes about Islam,. she,herself ,did not like Islam but she asked
them:"do You know anything about true Islam " , they replied:"no",
so she told them :"how can you judge a religion without knowing anything
about it ?"
And she left. After that she asked our friend to bring her some translated
books about Islam for her to know if the things told about islam are true
or not. Meanwhile, i had this strange dream,that was the message of God
that i waited for,the vision was so clear and not blurred as most dreams
are.
I was in a green place,splendid in it's beauty, the earth was
totally green,beauty that i did not see anything like it before, then i
saw in the sky ,the sun,the moon and a star between them. The dream ended
when someone gave a piece of paper on which was written " 5 times a day
and if i tell you azzen(pray) fa azzen(so pray)" i woke from my dream
very pleased by the visions but i did not understand the other sightings.
So i asked my friend and he told me that muslims pray 5 times a day and
the vision i saw is mentioned in koran in different souras,like youssef
and kiyama(judgement day) when people will see the sun , the moon
together.
Since I did not read koran before, I was astonished that how something
I saw was mentioned in the book of Allah,without this being a picture from
my memory.
After that i took the koran and started to read it ,then i felt totally
taken by this book, i felt the truth ,the majesty behind each word, i
felt at last what can penetrate the deepest parts of my soul.
So my girlfriend (who felt the same attraction to the word of allah)
And i embraced Islam,and married after that. I do not say that only my
dream made me a muslim,this dream was only the message of God that i waited
for. My knowledge of Islam and koran teachings made me a muslim. Anyway
God does not want us to believe blindly in him,in koran he asks us to test
the truth of his book and to face it everytime with the modern knowledge
to believe that it is the truth.
God gave us our brains to think,and eyes to see, and ears to hear,
if we have to check about islam so check it from a good source to have
the clearest idea about Allah, and stay far from those who are only trying
to harm the book of Allah without knowing their true goal in that. My situation
now is like someone who found a treasure and wants to share it with
everybody.
I want to tell you how believing in God can change your
life dramatically, how we can obtain this purity of soul,how we can enjoy
life after knowing why we are in this life.
At last our prophet (saw) said "I wonder about every healthy brain
man, Who did not choose islam"
