The following story was mentioned by brother Firoz who is originally
from Guyana and now living in Scarborough, Canada. Brother Firoz lived
in the USA before moving to Canada. He can easily be identified as a
Muslim as he wears a Muslim hat and has white beard. In USA, one day he
was going to the market to buy some things when he was approached by a
white American man who asked him whether he knew of any Halal Muslim
restaurant. Brother Firoz knew of one but was unable to give him the
proper direction. He figured that the American was a new Muslim in this
area. So, brother Firoz invited him to his house to have some food.
There were also some other Muslim brothers living with Firoz at that
time. When they reached home, everyone in the house welcomed the special
guest. They were also curious to know about the reason why he accepted
Islam.
The new brother told them that he was taking a world
religions course in the University. His teacher happened to be Jewish.
When they came to the topic about Islam, the Jewish teacher at one point
started showing the class how Muslims pray. "The moment I saw the
teacher doing prostration (sajdah), I knew that I belonged to this
religion," said the new brother. This is what led him to Islam, a simple
demonstration of sajdah.
Just one act of Islam was enough to
make this individual a Muslim. Imagine, how many people will be
convinced when all the Muslims start practising Islam completely!
