Why Islam is my choice — Page 144
144 can say is that I was really amazed. The experience was so inspiring that next year I also took my wife to the Annual Convention, but this time I decided to go to Qadian, India, instead of Rabwah, Pakistan. My wife saw with her own eyes and experienced same feelings that I felt. Even though I was living on limited budget, money was not a concern for my future journeys to enjoy the feelings of closeness to All ā h and meet godly people. Therefore, in 1979 I took my wife to Rabwah, and the following year my wife, daughter, my brother-in-law also accompanied me to Rabwah. They also felt what I originally had experienced— the blessings of the annual convention. As a result, my wife and her brother converted to A ḥ madiyyat, al- ḥ amdu lill ā h. In 1982, I again took my wife to Qadian, and then in 1995 I attended the Jalsa by myself. In 1997, I took my other daughter along, who is a doctor in California, to Qadian. During these journeys I experienced miraculous help on several occasions from All ā h but lack of space does not allow me to cover those experiences at this time. I will write about these events at a later time, In Sh ā ’ All ā h. I am grateful to my creator and sustainer All ā h that He has enlightened my way to this destination. I request all the brothers who would read my spiritual journey to pray for my wife’s health and my own health. May All ā h bless us with the best of this world and the hereafter. May All ā h bring all Muslims and mankind into the fold of A ḥ madiyyat, the true Isl ā m. Amen. Edited from Al-Na ḥ l, Vol. 17, No. 4, Q4, 2006.
