It was only in later life when I read the hadith of the Prophet, praise and
peace be upon him, that warned, “I do not fear your reversion to idolatry,
rather I fear you will compete with one another for worldly gain” was in the
process of being fulfilled.
The English newspaper “Al Khaleej” published by the Kaladari family was
delivered each morning to my home.
One day by the blessing and mercy of Allah, I found a little booklet, about
twenty pages inside called “What is Islam?” My heart jumped as I started to
read it; the book was in good English – what a change! Then I realized I was
going to be late for work, so I put it inside my handbag, and caught a taxi.
That day there was little or no work to do, it was very quiet, and my boss
was away, so I had the chance to read the little book and read it from cover
to cover. I was so excited; it was answering many of the questions I had
asked but had not received the answers I was looking for.
