Sana is an Egyptian Christian young lady whom God guided to the true religion after a long journey of doubt and fatigue.\u00a0 She narrated her own story as follows:<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n I grew up like any other young Egyptian Christian girl\u2026 a fanatic Christian.\u00a0 My parents cared a lot about my religious life.\u00a0 They used to take me with them every Sunday morning to the church to kiss the priest\u2019s hand and perform prayers with him.\u00a0 I often heard him teach the congregation the creed of trinity and assure them in every way that whatever a person be other than a Christian, it would never be accepted by God; because he, as claimed by the priest, is considered an infidel and atheist.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n Like many other children, I used to listen to the priest without complete comprehension, and as soon as I got out of church, I would rusah back to play with my Muslem friend.\u00a0 Childhood doesn\u2019t know such hatred priests implant in people\u2019s hearts.\u00a0 After I had grown a little more, I joined Primary School.\u00a0 I began to make more friends amongst my classmates.\u00a0 At school, I closely watched the good merits of my Muslim classmates.\u00a0 They treated me as a sister.\u00a0 They never considered the difference between us in religion.\u00a0 Later on, I understood that the Noble Quran urges Muslims to treat Non-Muslims who do not fight them, kindly so they may convert to Islam and be saved from infidelity.\u00a0 God, the Almighty, stated in the Holy Quran:<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n \u201cGod does not forbid you to deal justly and kindly with those who fought not against you on account of religion nor drove you out of your homes.\u00a0 Verily, God loves those who deal with equity.\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n I had a particularly strong friendship with one of my Muslim female friends.\u00a0 We were together all the time except at religion class, when I and the other Christian pupils went to study the principles of Christianity.\u00a0 I wanted to ask my teacher this question: How could Muslims, according to the Christian belief, be considered nonbelievers whereas they enjoy such great and good characters and are easy going? \u00a0But I didn\u2019t dare ask her so as not to evoke her anger.\u00a0 One day until I eventually did.\u00a0 My question surprised her but she tried to suppress her anger, smiling a false smile and said, \u201cYou are still young.\u00a0 You haven\u2019t understood life yet.\u00a0 You shouldn\u2019t be deceived by such simple matters that hide the genuine wicked nature of Muslims.\u00a0 We elders know them best.\u201d I unwillingly kept silent but was not convinced with her answer which was neither subjective nor logical.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n Time passed, and my dearest Muslim friend\u2019s family had to move from our home city, Suez, to Cairo.\u00a0 On that day, we cried a lot on leaving each other and exchanged presents and gifts.\u00a0 My friend couldn\u2019t find a present to express me her strong feelings better than a copy of the Noble Quran kept in a lavishly decorated box.\u00a0 She said, \u201cI thought of a precious present as a symbol of our friendship and a reminder of our days together.\u00a0 I found nothing better than this Holy Quran which contains God\u2019s words.\u201d I accepted her present gratefully and cheerfully.\u00a0 I hid it away from my family which would not accept their daughter to keep such a book.\u00a0 After my Muslim friend had left me, I would take out the Holy Quran and kiss it every time I heard the caller for Muslims\u2019 prayers.\u00a0 I used to do so while looking around me afraid of being watched by any member of my family and consequently face troubles.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n More time passed, and \u00a0I got married a deacon who worked at Virgin Mary Church.\u00a0 I took my belongings with me, including the Holy Quran of course.\u00a0 I kept it hidden from my husband\u2019s eyes.\u00a0 I lived with him as any other loyal sincere wife of the East.\u00a0 I had three children and a job at the General Office of the Governorate.\u00a0 There, I met some veiled Muslim colleagues who reminded me of my best friend.\u00a0 Every time I heard the voice of the caller for the prayers from the near by mosque, I felt an unexplainable feeling deep in my heart at a time I was still a Non- Muslim and a wife of a person who works at church.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n Days passed, and as a neighbor and colleague of pious female Muslims of superb character, I began to think about the truth of Islam.\u00a0 I compared what I heard in church about Islam and Muslims with what I saw and felt myself.\u00a0 I began to recognize the truth of Islam.\u00a0 I made use of my husband\u2019s absence to listen to some radio and TV programs about Islam in an attempt to find answers to the many questions which tired my mind.\u00a0 I was fascinated by the recitation of the Noble Quran by Sheikhs Mohammed Rifat and Abdul Basit Abdul-Samad.\u00a0 When I heard their recitation, I felt that this could not be the speech of a human being; rather, it must be Divine revelation.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n One day when my husband was at work, I opened my closet and with shaking hands I got out my precious treasure, the Noble Quran.\u00a0 As soon as I opened it, my eyes were caught by the verse in which the Almighty God says:<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n \u201cVerily, the likeness of\u00a0 `Isa (Jesus) before God is the likeness of Adam.\u00a0 He created him from dust, then (He) said to him: \u201cBe\u201d \u2013 and he was.\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n Ref. www.islamreligion.com<\/span> \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 Sana is an Egyptian Christian young lady whom God guided to the true religion after a long journey of doubt and fatigue.\u00a0 She narrated her own story… <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":11,"featured_media":1530,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"om_disable_all_campaigns":false,"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[13],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1531","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-women-convert-to-islam"],"yoast_head":"\n
