Remember, in my young mind I was still under the impression that God was
the father – may Allah forgive me - and my mind prompted me to think that
if I was a mother or father I could not let my son go to Hell. After all, the
Christian religion strongly preaches that God, “the father”, is the God of
Love, and what parent who is all powerful and loving would let that happen!

I also thought to myself that if Jesus in all his purity and proximity to God
went to Hell for three days, what chance did I have to escape from it with all
my sins! The answer was a resounding “none”.

Then one day at my church’s Sunday School, I overheard a teacher
describing the parting of the sea by Moses to a new teacher. The teacher told
the newcomer that they did not teach the parting of the sea was a miracle but
instead a natural occurrence! I could not hold myself back, and said much to
the annoyance and shunning of the teacher, “But God can do anything!”
There was no reply, just a patronizing look as if to say, “she’s too young to
understand.”
