A man just a few weeks ago used to shout really bad insulting stuff at the brothers on the stall about the prophet Muhammad saw and about his wives and all sorts which I will not repeat. He said awful things about Islam and even told the people who were talking to the brothers to not speak to them as Islam is a terrorist religion, its this that and the other. One of the brothers asked him if he was drunk and the man said ‘no’ so the brother said to him, I dread to think what your like when you are drunk then!

The man used to speak to them occasionaly on the stall however he was still in disagreement with Islam.

Last week he told the brothers on the stall he had something to tell them. They asked him what but he wanted them to guess, they gave in because they had no idea what he wanted to tell them and he said “Youll never believe it but I converted to Islam” The brothers didnt believe him but then another brother said “Hes telling the truth, he took his shahada at ‘x’ masjid. The brothers exchanged hugs and elation!

Subhanallah. This man was completely against Islam and now hes a Muslim! He was our enemy before and now hes our brother! We never know whats going on inside the hearts of some people. Allah swt can guide whoever he wishes. May Allah swt guide all of mankind especially our families ameen!

Please make du’a for him that Allah swt keeps him strong upon this deen and helps him along and makes things easy for him!

One of my friends sent me this. It’s very inpiring mashaAllah, so I thought why not share it with you. I hope you enjoyed it. This post reminds me of something that one of my psyche professors once told me. He said that basically, when you see someone act aggressively and irrationally against a group of people or an idea, it’s because he/she is actually afraid that they are what they are afraid of. His examples were the bully that picks on others because he feels that he is weak or the homophobe that wants to kill gays because deep down inside he fears that he himself is gay. Herbert Hoover was a good example of this model as is virtually every schoolyard bully in the world.
The point is that those that rant the loudest against Islam do so not out of hate but out of fear
