Today, I was overwhelmed to speak with a customer who by his simple yet wise words revitalised my belief in the faith of Islam. I am thankful that it occurred now after my recent bitter frustrating experience with closed minded mullah type people because of which I had started to doubt if I was following the right path [Yeah that is how much bitter these mullahs and mullahans (female mullahs) of Islam are]. They are causing irreconcilable damadge to the Islamic society and people.
A new convert from Christianity, I somehow controlled tears from falling as he spoke with me and wept a little while sharing with me a bit of his life history and some new things about Islam which I did not know being a muslim born.
He told me how a research project in which, as per him, he had to expose the ill teachings of Islam and prove it as a terrorism promoting faith, lead him to find the truth and thankful he was to God to show him the light of the eternal truth. But sadly, all his friends and relative went against him and gave him bad names.
Among a few other things, he told me how a muslim is in a state of worship when he sleeps after praying to his God until he the next morning. Because he provides his body with what it needs. It needs the night’s sleep to be ready for the next day’s hardwork. Everyone sleeps but in Islam it is worship and a muslim gains sawab for doing so.
Following is his email to me. Felt like sharing with others. See if the simplicity helps revitalise more hearts the way it did mine:
As salamu alaykum!
I’m so delightful that I’ve got somebody to talk to over the ************** to contemplate of what I hold in my mind and to share some of my concerns in life.
Please accept my apology if ever I’ve caused you something from our long conversation.
As I mentioned to you, I used to be a minister in Christian church and by profession I am a behaviorist (psychiatrist). I have too much fun sharing with you my experiences and my journey towards the religion of truth (Islam). I cannot account my words on really how to be grateful Allah ta’alla after acquiring me back in His right path, a straight path that will lead me back to His paradise through His mercy and kindness. This is now my 8 months being a Muslim, alhamdullillah! The feeling is incomparable because I know that I am worshipping now the true God, the only one. Though my friends thought of me as something lost or weird because I am Muslim, still I pray for them so that they will also have the “hidaya” from Allah ta’alla.
You can ask any question if you have something and i’ll be very glad to answer them inshallah
Just remember we are all servants and worshippers of Allah ta’alla. 'Til then and i hope to hear from you also. I’m sorry i forgot to ask your name. Perhaps you can introduce yourself to me also if you wouldn’t mind.

They are much below that level of being blamed.
