"Verily, you (O Muhammad) guide not whom you like, but Allah guides whom He wills. And He knows best those who are the guided."
(28:56)
there used to be a man who would come up to us on the Da'wah stall in Leicester, whenever we had a group of people who would stand in the background telling people not to listen, cursing Muhammad (saws) and saying evil things about islam, subhanallah he used to make me think of Abu Lahab in his character.
Week after week he would come, until one week i shouted back and after that he calmed down, still disagreeable and not wanting to know much about islam but not shouting bad things anymore then we didnt see him for a few weeks.
but yesterday he came up to us on the stall again, calm again, and said 'you'll never guess what has happened'
i said i didnt know, so he told us he has embraced islam, the man who used to curse islam and curse Muhammad (saws) has become muslim and a brother who was with us said he has seen him at Masjid Quba and Masjid Huda in leicester, Allahu Akbar!
He had to go and see someone but just wanted to tell us and has promised to come back and see us soon inshallah so we all gave him big hugs and salaams and it really made my day, the man who i can honestly say was the worse in his insults and nasty comments becomming a believer, i still find it amazing and a reminder that Allah guides whom he wills.
