TELL ME ABOUT ISLAM
„May Allah guide you to the truth,,
Before Islam:
To be honest, I was a “dedicated Christian” and a good ‘ole boy from Texas. I hated anything and everything about those “Mozlems”, just like you are supposed to, here in the West. - Yusuf Estes
After Islam :
One day, I met a real Muslim and I wanted to ‘convert’ him to Christianity. But I soon learned there is lot more to Islam than I knew. The more that I learned about REAL ISLAM, the more I was surprised at the similarities. - Yusuf Estes

34. Hoping for Goodness, Even for
his Enemies: A’ishah said:
‘I asked the
Messenger of God (peace be upon him): ‘Did you face a day harder and more intense
than the Battle of Uhud?’ He replied: ‘I suffered a lot from your people! The
worst I suffered was on the Day of al-’Aqabah when I spoke to Ali b. Abd Yaleel
b. Abd Kilaal (in order to support me) but he disappointed me and left me. I
left the area while I was quite worried, and walked - when I reached an area
called Qarn ath-Tha’alib, I raised my head to the sky and noticed a cloud that
shaded me. Gabriel (peace be upon him) called me and said: ‘O Muhammad! God,
the Exalted, has heard what your people have said to you - and has sent the
Angel in charge of the mountains, so you can command him to do what you please’. The Prophet (peace
be upon him) said: ‘The Angel in charge of the mountains called me saying: ‘May
God praise you and keep safe from all evil! O Muhammad, I will do whatever you
command me to do. If you like I can bring the Akhshabain mountains together and
crush them all’. The Messenger of God (peace be upon him) said: ‘It may be that
God raises from among them a progeny who worship God alone and associate no
partners with Him”’ (Bukhari #3059) [6]](http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lyeca5n5bI1r0pbgqo1_1280.png)

33. Richness and Contentment of the
Heart: Umar b. al-Khattab said:
‘I entered the
Messenger’s house and I found him sitting on a mat. He had a leather pillow
stuffed with fibers. He had a pot of water by his feet, and there was some
clothes hung on the wall. His side had marks due to the mat that he lay on.
Umar wept when he saw this, and the Messenger (peace be upon him) asked him: ‘Why
do you weep?’ Umar said: ‘O Prophet of God! Khosrau and Caesar enjoy the best
of this world, and you are suffering in poverty?!’ He said: ‘Aren’t you pleased
that they enjoy this world, and we will enjoy the Hereafter?” (Bukhari #4629) [6]](http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lyec7wasGf1r0pbgqo1_1280.png)
