I came across an article by chance somewhere last year. I could not share it back then since I have no blog to post. Sharing the URL - http://islamicsunrays.com/becoming-muslim-in-america/
The article was about how an American, Christian by born, changed into a Muslim. What he has written might not be something some Muslims by born have encountered. He has this "why?" on his mind all the time. He asked. He searched. He found.
I particularly like this part "I told Usama that I was considering going back to the Catholicism to get
my life in order. He asked me if I’d ever thought about Islam. I told
him that I hadn’t thought of it for myself because I felt it was either
an Arab religion or a separatist black movement (which I couldn’t join
because my mother is white) and that I felt the only Muslims I had ever
met were hypocrites and that I’d never seen a good practicing Muslim." I am wondering what he meant by "hypocrites" ... then I remembered something ... I smile ... and I understand.
By urging, sometimes will not make a person understands Islam, but the smile on your face will definitely makes the next person wondering and asking. When you've made a mind ticked, the door will be wide opened. That will be the time for you to hold out your hand. Allahu Akbar.
