“When there comes the help of Allah (to you, O Muhammad against your enemies) and the conquest (of Makkah). And you see that the people enter Allah’s religion (Islam) in crowds. So glorify the praises of your Lord, and ask his Forgiveness. Verily, He is the one who accepts the repentance and who forgives.”
(Qur’an 110:1-3)
Indeed Allah guides those whom He wishes to. On Thursday, Dec. 29, 2011, a Dawah program was conducted in a facility at Al Haramain district. A group of Saudi volunteers invited a large group of Filipinos to the program. After an elaborate and convincing lecture, 65 Filipinos readily embraced Islam. They said their Shahadah at the mosque and performed their first obligatory prayer of Isha.
After the formalities , a small party was offered to celebrate this great achievement by the will of Allah.
To educate the new Muslims about their new-found faith, it was arranged for them to attend their first formal lecture at the Jeddah Dawah Center, where Dr. Yahya Al Bahith personally welcomed the new Muslims on Friday, Dec. 30, 2011.The group performed their first Friday prayer in congregation and listened to the sermon (Khutbah) translation in English. They also performed their first Umrah and were completely overwhelmed by this experience. The reverted Muslims expressed their sincere gratitude and support offered by the management of Jeddah Dawah Center, as it gave them an opportunity to walk on the path of truth.
He it is who has sent His Messenger (peace be upon him) with guidance and the religion of truth (Islam), that He may make it (Islam) superior to all religions. And All-Sufficient is Allah as a witness. (Qur’an 48:28).
