Searching for Truth
As young as I was then, I decided to read the whole Qur’an. We had an English translation in our house at that time, and I read it page to page, from the beginning to the end, but I found no light in it — all I saw was deception and no assurance of salvation. So, I decided to check out the Christian Bible and see what the Book had to say. I thought it was read the same way as the Qur’an, from behind, so I started with the book of Revelation.
By the time I was done, I was so tormented that, when I slept, I had a dream where many people were caught up, like the rapture, and I was not among them. When I woke up from that dream, I felt strongly convicted, and I knew that if the rapture happened, I was not going to make it.
I cried out, “But I give alms to the poor, I even fast 29–30 days without missing one day, and I pray five (5) times daily. When I sin, I immediately say astagafurulia and I make sure that I say it three (3) times. Why did I not make it? If anybody should make it, should it not be me?”
