I came to Islam late, a daughter of a devout Roman Catholic
mother/very devout Jewish father. By age 4 I knew of Allah and in 1991 I
traveled to Egypt to read some of my writing. I had already spent almost 20
years among the most pious of Jews, had married, had children. When I heard the
muezzin* before Fajr* his voice was like the arrow one dreams that a lover will
shoot into the heart, it cut & held me unable to speak. Not even knowing
Arabic, I knew the sound, it is like a recognition of something so profound, so
great and if I may say, so sweet that one has been searching for. The Quran
speaks to me clearly as if it was written for Jews to hear and wake up. I had to
leave the community I lived in and my children. I did not chose to, I had to.
Those of you, young and coming into Islam are truly blessed. You have your
lives, will marry and raise Muslim children in'shallah.
The only people who can say they are Chosen, are those who search for the
True path to Allah with all their heart.
* Muezzin: A person who calls for prayers in the mosque. The AZAN is the
call. It usually occurs 5 times a day. The AZAN's context is the following:
Allah is greater...I witness that there is no god but ALLAH. And I witness
that Muhammad is the messenger of Allah. Come to the prayer.. come to
success...Allah is greater...
* Fajr: Dawn.
