I prefer to use the word embrace rather than convert, for when we truly believe we include, not exclude. I once woke up with the glorious peal of church bells ringing in one ear and the mystical 'athan' call to prayer in the other. I don't know how relevant it is for anyone reading this but in that half-wakeful moment I was standing in a town square, a piazza somewhere, no one else was there but it was far from deserted in feel. I will not attempt to describe how that felt, the aural bliss is one best left to any one willing to imagine it.
It appals me no end to see and hear people judge someone negatively for embracing Islam. Lindsay Logan has come under such attack in an article, not worth sharing, published in Cairo scene magazine. An article so base and ignorant it beggars belief.
Anyone who know anything, knows Islam knows no colour, no country, no culture, for its own intrinsic values envelop all such things as they are, and so much more.
I liked Lindsay Logan right from the first time I watched her in 'The Parent Trap' and have felt for her through all the gruelling ups and downs of her acting career and celeb lifestyle. I have always reiterated 'but i like her' to myself upon coming across salacious media reports.
Anyone who knows anything about Islam knows He may forgive the worst of sins if there is true repentance and the will to reach out to Him. In fact, anyone who feels love through awe, knows it surpasses all else we give worldly value to. Sitting in judgement and revelling in complacency about the personal awakenings of another is nothing better than a vain pastime.
Faith of any kind is not only beyond understanding but in order to stand constant by it we cannot remain static but are unwittingly in constant motion. It exists regardless of comfort zones, a struggle both challenged and eased continuously; moreover any spiritual awakening is so miraculously and individually tailored when accompanied by His Guidance.
We all like and dislike much, but to judge the personal developments of a soul is never our prerogative.
