Why did these people convert to Islam??? (15) She is the Egyptian Blanche...
She is the Egyptian Blanche Narrows, born in 1947 in Shubra (Egypt) to Christian parents who had six sons and daughters
Blanche is the father’s third child
He is an employee who goes to work from eight in the morning until two in the afternoon in one of the government departments and then works from four in the afternoon every day in one of the stores. Large fabrics in Al-Azhar district
Blanche says: I used to watch my father become very tired, and I only saw him for hours a day and a night
However, my father adhered to the teachings of Christianity, so going to church was sacred
He often accompanied one or more of the family each time, and we often went together on well-known religious occasions and holidays. Because we live in an Islamic society with its customs and traditions
We lived a life in which we did not feel alienated or in need. Everyone knew that we were a large family, and the father was a government employee and was trying to increase his income with additional work
We used to find help in all its sublime meanings from our Muslim neighbors on all their religious occasions and on other occasions
My mother, although she was not educated, had a high degree of social intelligence, which made everyone appreciate her consideration for this large family and appreciate my father’s struggle day and night for a normal life for his family
Blanche says: I will never forget the day my mother slipped when she was crossing the street on the way to our house and fell to the ground, and our neighbors picked her up and brought her to the doctor
He recommended that her leg be splinted due to a double fracture in the leg, provided that she be under full medical care and complete rest until the fracture heals
A neighbor took her and his wife in his car to the specialist doctor, and a “cast” was performed. He treated her with great care, and the doctor wrote his prescription for treatment, and Uncle Abdul Rahim went and brought her
He and his wife, my mother, returned to our residence, and all the neighbors continued to surround us with extraordinary care
She cleaned the place, and she offered the visitors the sweets or fruit that the visitors had brought
This one got up to cook, and Uncle Abdul Rahim’s wife, who is called (Umm Ramadan), asked everyone to leave my mother, or Umm Malak, as they called her by my big brother’s name, so that she could rest, and they set a time to visit her together after she had rested and slept well
My father returned to find what had happened had happened, and he stood in astonishment, thanking the neighbors for what they had provided and they were consoling him because he loved my mother very much. For the first time, I found my father crying because of the excessive generosity of the neighbors who refused to pay them the doctor’s fee and the price of the medicine, and I heard them blaming him for his lack of appreciation for the neighborhood
Aunt Umm Ramadan said in the text: What happened, Abu Malak? This Prophet is the guardian of the seventh neighbor, and you are not a neighbor
Only you and your children are family, and more than the family is shameful.... Oh man, don’t do that to us
You are insulting us. The words of my aunt, Umm Ramadan, descended on my mind and heart in a beautiful, calm way, just as they descended on all of my siblings. My father did not go to the textile store where he works in the Al-Azhar neighborhood on time. Rather, he apologized for the emergency health conditions that had befallen my mother, and sat next to her, lamenting his misfortune with his wealthy relatives who do not stay away
A lot about where we live
Suddenly, the owner of the store where my father works in Al-Azhar came to our house to visit my father on the occasion of what happened to my mother
He was carrying with him God’s bounties that had been bestowed upon us and more, in addition to the money he had given him, to confront the situation and asked him to confront the situation with courage, patience, and faith
The man raised his hand to Heaven, praying to God ( Allah ) Almighty that my mother will rise to walk on her feet again to take care of her home and her children
The man’s prayers were sincere and came from his heart, and this was not the first and last time he visited us
He often brought God’s bounties on Islamic occasions and holidays
Likewise, on Christian occasions and holidays, he would often say: We are brothers, and our noble Messenger, peace and blessings be upon him, has advised us of you, O Copts of Egypt
He married his wife from Egypt. In addition, our faith is not complete except by believing in his previous books and messengers, and at their head is Jesus, son of Mary, whom God ( Allah ) created just as He created Adam, to confirm to the people.
His ability to create, this is Jesus from the womb of Mary, and this is Adam from the womb of the earth Blanche says: The words of the man who owned the cloth store in the Al-Azhar neighborhood calmly came to my mind and heart, so I entered to approach the man while he was speaking, and he changed the conversation with unusual tact and asked me about my misfortune with my brothers and neighbors and my diligence in school
She says that in school, in the religion class, they used to gather the female and Christian students in one class to teach them the Christian religion, and I often missed the Christian religion class, preferring to listen to the Islamic religion class
The Islamic religion teacher would ask me to go out a lot, so I would often ask his permission to attend the Islamic religion class
The Christian teacher often did not come, or if any teacher sat with us, he would talk to us in an unacceptable conversation and plant hatred for Muslims in our minds without the slightest reason for it
I used to get angry with him because we saw nothing but genuine friendliness and love from them at school, on the street, and at home, where the neighbors were better than the wealthy relatives who even had a grudge against us.
With an empty-handed visit, even though we wanted them, we were from the poor branch, and our visit was a disgrace to them
She says: I graduated in my education with distinction, and we did not feel our poverty and need one day.
The kind man, the owner of the cloth store in the Al-Azhar neighborhood, considered us completely his children, and no one asked us one day to convert to Islam. It is the same
They have their religion, which we respect and appreciate, and we have our religion, which we respect and appreciate
However, I felt Islam in my being and running through my blood
I was memorizing the surahs of the Qur’an required by my schoolmates in religion class, and I was taking the exam in the Islamic religion and the Christian religion
I succeeded with distinction in the written and oral Islamic religion tests
Egyptian Blanche Naroz says: “I used to fast during Ramadan and my family knew that.”
My father also fasted during Ramadan. He lived as a Christian, died as a Christian, and was buried in the Christian cemetery, which was sponsored by that kind man, the owner of the cloth store in Al-Azhar
My father would invite the store owner to have breakfast with us during Ramadan, and when I was fasting, the man was completely happy with me and asked me not to torture myself, as my father used to say and do, but I was happy The man once wished that I was a Muslim so that his son, who was two or three years older than me, would marry me
I did not see him, nor did his son see me, but I was listening to him and I was happy, wishing to be one of this man’s family
Days passed, and I felt that I was a Muslim in heart and mind, and I went to the Fatwa House in Al-Azhar and told them what I felt and my desire to declare my conversion to Islam
I testified before a committee of scholars that there is no god but ( Allah ) God and that Muhammad is the servant of God ( Allah ) and His Messenger, after I was asked many questions about Islam, but I hid that from my family, even though they knew that I was a lover and lover of Islam, a reader of its Qur’an, and a prayer sometimes.
I did that before I converted to Islam, and I did it after I converted to Islam as well. Very masterly
At that time, I was a student in the Faculty of Science at the university. My father died when I was in my third year
The family of the kind man, the owner of the cloth store, visited us. For the first time, we saw his wife and children, and I became friends with them, and his wife loved me
She asked me to visit her often, and I promised her a visit, and I told the good man that he would send me his car or come and pick me up with my family so that we could spend a day with them away from the sorrows that overtook us over the loss of my father
At the appointed time, we went in the morning to the man’s house near his shop
He had a daughter a little younger than me, so he asked her to walk around Khan Al-Khalili because I was hoping to pray in a mosque in Al-Hussein
The opportunity came and the noon call to prayer began, and when I headed to the mosque, the man’s daughter was astonished. I asked her to be in charge of my secret, and she agreed and joined me in the prayer that I will never forget
This was the first time in my life that I prayed in a mosque behind an imam, and it had a beautiful taste that I can never forget, despite my prayers after that in many mosques and in the Kaaba and the Noble Prophet’s Mosque
Blanche says: When we returned from the noon prayer, I told my friend, the kind man’s daughter the My story with Islam, and I asked her to hide that from her parents and leave me to tell them that
She said: I do not promise you that, because my joy in your conversion to Islam is not equal to joy and will not be complete except with my parents’ joy in you because they love you very much
She wishes for a wife for my brother Ahmed, who is studying medicine and lives in another apartment alone to study, and we visit him daily to fulfill his requests so that he does not occupy himself with anything other than studying, and I am not hiding from you. You have acted
I saw Ahmed as a handsome, handsome young man, with the light of faith shining from his face, just like his father
I imagined him to be a picture of his father, something I had never seen before As soon as we entered the house, the man’s daughter ran to whisper in her mother’s ear what had happened, and Hajj’s wife uttered a long cry and followed her with another while on the way to take me into her arms, saying: Congratulations, have a blessed day
Congratulations. My mother was astonished by what happened, and when she found out, she frowned a little, saying: Praise be to God ( Allah ) . I felt like it would happen one day
Her father used to assure me all the time, but if her older brother “Malak” found out about her conversion to Islam, he might do something bad to her
After a while, Hajj arrived happily and began to congratulate me on what I had done and congratulate my mother on me
My mother had no choice but to say, “Praise be to God ( Allah ) ” and repeat to him what she had said before so that he would say, “The Kind man.” Her father's feeling was real, and I felt it too The man whispered in his daughter’s ear, but I heard him asking her to summon her brother, Dr. Ahmed, from the study apartment, and Ahmed came exactly as I imagined him, and his modesty increased his faith and handsomeness, and he blessed me
His words fell into my mind and heart just as he did. Dr. Ahmed’s father spoke with the simplicity and spontaneity of the good children of the country, saying to me, to my mother, and to everyone, Blanche, Ahmed’s bride, I am ready to perform the Qur’an immediately. Everyone sitting at us looked and I looked at the good man, and he was very happy, and then a blush of shame rose to our faces, me and Ahmed
The man simply asked if there was any objection from me or from him, but we did not respond
. My mother frowned and began to cry, and my brothers asked to apologize for not completing the day as agreed, and my mother looked crying and asked to go out with them, and we all went out, and the beautiful day was not complete with its joy that God ( Allah ) bestowed upon us without the people on this day in which my heart failed and they learned of my conversion to Islam
Blanche says: But my joy was not complete on this day. When my older brother found out, he almost killed me, had God not come between me and him, and my brother came out on this day and threatened to kill me
My mother took me in the evening to the house of Hajj, Dr. Ahmed’s father, and I told him what my brother had done and what he expected from me.
The man welcomed me as his daughter to live in his house and be his son’s wife if she wanted
The man said to her calmly, “She is my daughter, and you are under my protection, God ( Allah ) willing.” He said to my mother, “You are welcome too, if you want to stay with her.”
But she insisted on returning to her home to take care of the house where Big Brother needed her to calm him down and stop him from threatening me
I lived with the family that I felt comfortable staying with for six full months, during which Dr. Ahmed did not enter the house until he knew that his father was there!!
My marriage contract was concluded with the son of the good man, the owner of the cloth store, and Ahmed did not enter the house except in the presence of his father, and I confirmed in him this character that increased his value to me
When she graduated, she went to a new apartment as a bride who had all the rights with her husband
She had all the duties to her husband. She was honored and honored during the honeymoon
I performed with her
My husband performed the Hajj and I had graduated from the College of Science, so he gave me the choice between work and home and left me the freedom to think and choose, but I preferred to stay at home and raise my children on Islam and its teachings
God ( Allah ) has blessed us with sons and daughters and I have never forgotten my family and my brothers
They reconciled with me after many difficult years without them
My father-in-law used to check on them. It remains for you to know that my brother Malak was also guided by God (Allah ) to Islam
To you, my dear and dear friend, all what matters to you?
