Something that shocked me today

**snowdropjasmine** · 11-06-2006

This is what I show with my two eyes. So I though I might share this story with you my experience of something that amazed me today and shocked me and wordless don’t know what to say.

wish you like it because i know both of these people so well like for 7 years and this shocked but am happy for them

. well here is the story

Me and couple of friends where having a conversation about Muslims and wars around the world, just as we where talking one guy who was not a Muslim stood up and said who would fight if there was a jihad to day .jihad as in Christians and Jews and Muslims against each other fighting for there religion not like e.g. what is happening against Iraq to day but like the battle of Badr. Shocking think was they were all like to him welcome to the 21 century that is not happening so non of the Muslims were willing to fight for Islam only me and 3 other people said they would pretty much there were 15 Muslims seating there. So this boy says like to us are you scared of dieing.

A Muslim boy says “why should I fight for Islam”.

Christians boy says” why not are you not a Muslim and if other Muslims were dieing and Christians where taking over the world would you not fight to save Islam?”

Muslim boy says “am going to hell at the end of the day fighting for Islam will do me good”

Christian boy says “what do you mean?”

Muslim boy runs of and was not seen for the rest of the day. A week later somebody says to me did you know the Muslim boy never comes out of the masjid am “like what him I do not believe you” then I see him out side the masjid.

I say “hey what happened to you”

He says “that boy opened my eye about Islam and what Islam is Allah sends you a sign and that was my sign”

I say “so what are you going to do?”

He says “my dad has brought me a house in medina I will live there till I die”.
Am just to shocked don’t know what to say this is the boy that never dreamed of going to medina he did not like it and loved USA so much.

Today around 2.00 I heard that the Christian boy reverted to Islam yesterday. Am like what just then the Christian boy comes up to me and says.

Hey am a Muslim

I say” what brought you to Islam?

He says “the Muslim boy was my sign and I could not go to sleep since the day I had the conversation with him he had made open eye to Islam. My Allah blesses him without him I would not have been here today.

Other stories have heard about a person that revert to Islam they have like I met an good Muslim and so on but these boy they where both amazement to me one was not a Muslim but made the other become a Muslim and other was a Muslim from the mouth plus today he is a great Muslim .amazing my Allah bless them both

The impression I got from the story is that there were 15 people sitting in a room; a non-Muslim asked how many of them would fight for Islam and only 3 answered in the positive. Seeing as so less people replied in the positive, that is why the non-Muslim asked if they were all afraid of dying, and then a Muslim boy stood up and they had that conversation.

So the Muslim boy's fear of Hell and mentioning of martyrdom was perhaps what moved the non-Muslim, and the non-Muslim's provoking question about standing up for Islam perhaps moved the Muslim. And this led them both to become practising Muslims Alhamdulillah.

That's what I understood!

Did somebody say marmite?!

I too understood what it meant but that's mainly because I took educated guesses (e.g. signs come in different forms, some are more clearer than others whereas some are slightly more cryptic) in addition to the information given. Oh well, nice story anyway
