-KIWI Posted May 24, 2003 Asalaamu Caleykum Wa rahmatullahi Wa barakaatuhu.. I have meet a vast number of kiwi(new zealand born) reverts( the proper terminology used rather than covert as everyone is born as a Muslim revert indicating that they have come back to it) all sisters who walked from all sorts of life and all who have walked straight to the right path. They will all tell you almost identical stories on how they went about their "soul searching"the road which gave them a touch of realisation there is only one creator having looked around and noticing that every house has a leader,every school has a pricipal,every town has a mayor and every country has a prime minister so they all got the same stage and pondered on the same question over and over again "who has created us".After giving it some deep thought they have come to the same conclusion that there is Allah the creator of the universe. After geeting to know some of the sisters they have personally informed me that they now have a sense of direction a purpose to life and they are all leading a life of tranquility and peace. Its funny how sweet gal you have mention numerous boxers who are all reverts,take the Australian boxer i would doubt anyone would know who he is Anthony Mandene when asked why he become Muslim he laughed it off and replied "isnt Islam every boxers religion". Its true Allah guides whom he chooses. May Allah take us to our graves while we still on the right path.Amiin Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
