How did he accept Islam, and why? Here is the story:<\/p>\n<p>I spent years searching for spirituality metaphysics, and meaningful philosophies. \u00a0Nearly 17 years later \u2013 when I was 40, I met a man speaking about spirituality, but with very deep, profound and meaningful sentences. I was curious to know what he was, what is his source. There was something different and deep in his words\u2026 where did he read this!<\/p>\n<p>And almost after a year I found he is Muslim, but he never spoke about Islam. Then I asked him directly: \u201cwhere did you read this?\u201d He told me, \u201cIt\u2019s from the Qur\u2019an.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>At this point, I had a crack in my mind. My thoughts about Islam had nothing to do with religion. I thought Muslims are a sect in the desert. I knew nothing about <a href=\"http:\/\/www.newmuslim.net\/quran-sunnah\/the-quran-allahs-divine-mercy\/\">the Qur\u2019an<\/a>. He told me it is <a href=\"http:\/\/www.newmuslim.net\/abcs-of-islam\/articles-of-faith\/the-last-testimony-of-god\/\">the Last Testament<\/a>; the last word of God. I returned home and spoke to my wife about what I heard. Then we both decided to embrace and this was the beginning.<\/p>\n<p>Twenty years now he and his wife are Muslims.<\/p>\n<p>Listen to brother `Abdul-nur to learn more about his life after being Muslim and listen to him calling <a href=\"http:\/\/www.newmuslim.net\/featured\/what-do-you-know-about-the-adhan\/\">the <em>adhan<\/em><\/a>\u2026<\/p>\n<span class=\"embed-youtube\" style=\"text-align:center; display: block;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"youtube-player\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/yQ6-EhqkVPE?version=3&#038;rel=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;showinfo=1&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;fs=1&#038;hl=en-US&#038;autohide=2&#038;wmode=transparent\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" style=\"border:0;\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts allow-same-origin allow-popups allow-presentation allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox\"><\/iframe><\/span>\n<p>&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;-<\/p>\n<p><em>Source:\u00a0<a class=\"yt-simple-endpoint style-scope yt-formatted-string\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/channel\/UCyxM7MgZkDe5stZpb6CiOcA\">Digital Mimbar<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n<p>[ica_orginalurl]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Brother `Abdul-nur, a former opera singer, has converted to Islam.
