These lines from a newly convert made me cry, Allahu Akbar ! It was the time just before I converted to islam. I used to read the Finnish translation of the Quran every night. One night, I was wrapped in my blanket, and everyone else was sleeping in the house. It was completely quiet. I was reading the Quran again, around 2 am, and I saw these words in front of me: O thou folded in garments! Stand (to prayer) by night, but not all night,- Half of it,- or a little less, Or a little more; and recite the Quran in slow, measured rhythmic tones. Soon shall We send down to thee a weighty Message. Truly the rising by night is most potent for governing (the soul), and most suitable for (framing) the Word (of Prayer and Praise). True, there is for thee by day prolonged occupation with ordinary duties: But keep in remembrance the name of thy Lord and devote thyself to Him whole- heartedly. (He is) Lord of the East and the West: there is no god but He: take Him therefore for (thy) Disposer of Affairs. And have patience with what they say, and leave them with noble (dignity). And leave Me (alone to deal with) those in possession of the good things of life, who (yet) deny the Truth; and bear with them for a little while. AL-MUZZAMMIL 1-11 These 11 ayats made me a muslim. Immediately after reading this I understood everything. Who is Allah, why I am in this world, what is the truth. (He is) Lord of the East and the West: there is no god but He: take Him therefore for (thy) Disposer of Affairs. And have patience with what they say, and leave them with noble (dignity). I got an answer to all my doubts and fears. I wasnt anymore afraid of bad words by non-muslims. I got peace in my heart. Indeed, Islam is the religion of peace. Subhan Allah, wal hamdu lillah, wa la ilaha illallah, wallahu akbar, wa la haula wa la quwwata illa billah. (by our new brother in Islam) Bint e Hawwa
