I had only one book in my cell during that month. It was a copy of the Holy Quran with an English translation. I read the Quran, I watched the Muslims pray, they sat with me and we talked after the noon prayers. I thought Id selected the hardest path I could possibly choose. Imagine my surprise when I not only never missed a prayer but also discovered that Islam made my whole life easier. Im still in awe of how blessed I have been to have become a Muslim...to be one who submits to the will of God - this I felt was more accurate, more relevant to me. I got it. I understood. I became a Muslim. I chose the name Amin Mubarak - The Trusted, The Blessed. There is no colour in Islam. No difference in status. It does not matter what country you were born in. It does not matter how bad a person you were. You do not have the right to be unhappy. I discovered, to my surprise, that freedom, happiness and success are not bound by the geographical restriction of prison.
