The Kenyan Angel
I always feel very impressed when I listen to the stories of those people seeking for the truth. Those people who acted very courageously to save their souls and bodies in the Hereafter. Those people who decided to change their lives, their ideas and their deeds to reach real happiness and serenity.
'The Kenyan Angel; that's the nickname I chose for him. Thirty years ago, he was just a rebellious teenager; a kind of boys who doesn't stay at home except to eat or to sleep. All the time he was with his friends; having parties, drinking wine , smoking, dating girls . I really can't imagine him having a girl friend !
At school, most of his class shared him having the illegal fun except a couple of kids who never shared them that as they were completely different . And from that point the change started .
The behavior of those kids urged him to think: "Why don't they do like us?", he asked himself . Then he decided to ask them , but the answered made him more puzzled . He was answered that they didn't share them that illegal fun because they are Muslim , Allah ordered them to be clean , innocent and pure .
The boys' words touched his innocent heart so deeply that he decided to read something about that religion.He felt that there was a bad need inside him urging him to know more and more about Islam. He felt that his thirsty spirit was about to be guided to its strand; the strand it was searching for a long time ago.
He began to visit his new friends at home to read more and know more and the more he read and knew the more he felt happy and peaceful. He didn't know why exactly he felt like that. For the little angel those feelings were unexplained.
He was very careful not to lose that gained peace and happiness. That's why he made his mind to change, to change; forever He decided to be new born. He took his decision to be clean, pure, and innocent forever.
As he was getting closer to a Muslim family; a family of one of his new friends, he talked to the family's father about his decision to be Muslim. At the beginning, the man refused and told him that he was still young and he had to tell his father. The little angel said, "No, I'm not going to tell my father as he would never accept that." "I knew the truth and felt many good things that my father can not understand or appreciate," he added.
Perhaps the man wanted to examine his truthfulness, his will and his persistence. He asked the little angel how he became sure that Islam is the truth. He answered that while he was reading the Holly Quraan, he was deeply touched by two things: first: the stages of creating the baby inside the uterus. The second thing was the order of the planets and the positions of the stars. The Holly Quraan mentioned very accurate details that no reasonable human can believe that Prophet Muhammad could mention such details from his own mind unless they were revealed to him from the creator.
At that point, the man became sure that the little angel was truthful and convinced, so he decided to help him and he took him to the mosque.
In front of the mosque, the old man asked him to take off his shoes. He asked "Why?" The man said, "This a holly place where we worship our God, so we should keep it very clean and pure." The little angel was convinced and, by the grace of God, he entered the mosque.
Inside the mosque, I can't imagine that glorious moment without feeling very excited. I can imagine how the whole universe was celebrating that magnificent moment. The earth, the trees, the birds, the sky, the wind, even the Heaven's angles were celebrating that great moment with the little angle. The moment when a human soul is guided to the truth and leaded to the light of God. The moment when a human being is saved from the Hell and welcomed to the Paradise.
What a glorious moment and what a glorious change that happened after it. The little angle changed greatly to the best. He gave up all bad and shameful habits he used to do before. He gave up drinking wine, smoking and dating girls. He stayed at home eating with his family and studying his lessons. He moved, by the grace of god, from the darkness of ignorance and keeping away from his creator to the light of the truth and belief. That was greatly regarding.
For that kind of conversion, there are two kinds of rewarding: the rewarding on the Day of Judgment and the worldly one. For the little angel, the worldly rewarding was great. His grade at school turned to be very high. He became one of the first superior students.
The exploding volcano, that when he decided to tell his father about his conversion. After he had showed his father the certificate of his salvation, the very tough man flew into a rage. He kept shouting and insulting the little angle until his elder brother, who was very cute and sensitive, rescued him. The elder brother told the father that he could tear the certificate very easily, but he would never be able to change what was curved inside the little angel's heart. He added that the father had to choose between the rebellious boy that the little angel used to be and the very straight one he become after his conversion. Then their father calmed down and accepted, with a bad grace, the newborn angel!!!
The Kenyan angel is my tutor who teaches me in my English course. Meeting him and talking to him is my lucky break as I always dream to meet someone of those brave and sensitive people who choose their way by their own will.
He is very cheerful, very cute, very sensitive and extremely polite. I really enjoy talking to him and learning many things from him. I really feel the same happiness I used to feel with my late dad.
