Why Would a CATHOLIC PRIEST Who worked at the VATICAN accept ISLAM? Read some of his story below: “I enjoyed being a priest helping the people for some years. However, deep inside I was not happy and I felt that there was something not right. Fortunately, and it is God’s will, some events and coincidences in my life led me to Islam,” he told a packed hall at the British Council. “Like all Britons, my knowledge about Muslims up to that time didn’t exceed what I heard from the TV about suicide bombers and fighters, which gave the impression that Islam is a religion of troubles. However, getting into Cairo I discovered how beautiful this religion is. They were polite and kind. “Once while reciting a translation of the holy Quran in class I reached the verse: And when they listen to the revelation received by the Messenger, thou wilt see their eyes overflowing with tears, for they recognize the truth. To my surprise, I felt tears welling up in my eyes and I tried hard to hide it from the students.” “However, my previous experience with Muslims took me to a different direction. I started wondering ‘Why Islam? Why do we blame Islam as a religion for the action of terrorists who happened to be Muslims, when no-one accused Christianity of terrorism when some Christians have acted the same way? “I sat at the back, and I cried and cried. Then I said to myself, ‘Who am I trying to fool?’ “After they ended their prayers, I headed to Yusuf Islam, asking him to teach me the words by which I announce my conversion. I tried to tell people how beautiful Islam is and that Islam has the most extraordinary treasures, the most important being Muslims’ love for each other. The Prophet says ‘Even a smile to your brother is a charity.’ Read the full story thedeenshow/watch/3173/a-former-british-catholic-priest-accepts-islam-after-reading-the-quran “Strongest among men in enmity to the Believers wilt thou find the Jews and Pagans; and nearest among them in love to the Believers wilt thou find those who say “We are Christians”: because amongst these are men devoted to learning (priests), and men who have renounced the world (monks), and they are not arrogant. And then they listen to the revelation received by the Messenger, thou wilt see their eyes overflowing with tears, for they recognize the truth. They pray: ‘Our Lord! We believe, write us down among the witnesses.’ (Surat Al-Maida 82-83)” _______________________________________________ To learn more about ISLAM watch this weeks new show Muslims love Jesus and Muhammad the last Prophet in ISLAM https://youtube/watch?v=0HMlV0D2Nh0 Please subscribe to our youtube channel https://youtube/user/TheDeenShowTV?sub_confirmation=1 Join us also on twitter/thedeenshow
