I'l first tell a bit about myself, I am a muslim, born in Canada, and living in Toronto, where multi-culture seems to be paramount in living. I love listeing to the Quran , when ever my faith in Allah hinders because of what happens to me, it is rejuvenated when I listen to the Quran. Alhumdilelah
I try to read all of it each year, and it is hard for me because my arabic is inadequate to understandtand every word of the Qur'an. However, yesterday. I wanted some faith rejuvenation so I decided to listen to the Qur'an --- of course. And I diden't know what Sura to choose a recitation ( I use http://www.quranexplorer.com/quran/ ) , so as I was going on the list , and my handed abnormally landed on sura Fatir 35. I began to listen, and I would highlight this verse:
"Is he, then, to whom the evil of his conduct is made alluring, so that he looks upon it as good, (equal to one who is rightly guided)? For Allah leaves to stray whom He wills, and guides whom He wills. So let not thy soul go out in vainly sighing after them: for Allah knows well all that they do"
And this one:
And have patience with what they say and leave them with noble (dignity). (10) And leave Me (alone to deal with) those in possession of the good things of life who (yet) deny the Truth; and bear with them for a little while. (11)
It seemed irrelevant to my at the moment, but the next day, I went out for lunch, particularly for pizza. And I know this Chirstian -- who is a bully to muslims. After I told him that I was a muslim, ( I was eating a cheese pizza) he grabbed me pulled me out the store, and tried to shove a peporoni down my mouth, he said eat it or il beat you up. I diden't eat it and he punched me in the stomach and threw the pork in my face. But at that moment I knew why Allah made me read that chapter-- he wanted me to be ready for what was going to happen, and so im posting this to tell you to never lose faith, and now that Allah knows well what they do.
Alakom al salam.
