sin lam mim

"i believe in God..and i believe that Muhammad is the messsenger of Allah"
a white man in a black blazer with white beard and a glasses on,clearly in his 60's, read a note in his hand out loud to the audience in that hall..his last word echoed to the end of the hall..what impressed me most is that,after almost 2 hours of interesting speech,one of the best i've experienced so far,(i never listened to a Muslim Texan preaching out Allah's beautiful words..have you?)

the question is...who wrote that note??is he/she a Muslim??Is he/she not??

the speaker asked the person who wrote that note to stand up..after few minutes a young chinese guy stood up confidently..and the speaker then asked the chinese guy to come to the front and share his thoughts...explaining him Islam directly for a coupla minutes..the audience cringed in their seats..trying to listen clearly..engaged with the situation that is happening at that very second..

well i was too...awed..and asking myself..what's next what's next...

after minutes of explaining the chinese guy about islam..the rukuns..and all..then came the minute i wasnt expecting..it was too soon..but he was ready i guess..

so the chinese guy followed the older man's mouth..word by word..slowly..
he completed the khalimah syahadah...

i was about to cry..finally let myself breathe for i've been too caught up with the situation..suspense no longer filled the air..instead they all sigh..happy..for this chinese guy who just converted himself to a new religion..

it's like watching a new born baby in a body of a 26 years old chinese guy.
it's like being all grateful again for being a muslim..having to see all these.
it's like a blessing for him.
and how lucky he is to have that hidayah shown on him..
he's one lucky guy..

i pray that his friends guided him..teach him about this beautiful precious religion of Allah..

i've never experienced this...and tonite was history..one of the best memories..to witnessed this and to hear a super interesting and funny preach of Islam in Texas' accent..alhamdulillah..
