Joel Underwood Admire The Quran Content
At first I did not know that the Koran is a great thing. I read it because it thinks there is knowledge of Arabic culture. It happened before I traveled to Morocco, "Ujar Joel Underwood, a British man living in the city of Manchester.
He smiled when he started his journey to Islamic Hidayah. However, he thought that the Koran was a travel guide book. However, thanks to his ' stupidity ', Joel actually discovers his hidayah.
Until he grew up, he continued to be a devout servant. At that time, he did not know the religion of Islam. ' ' I do not know anything about Islam. No one is Muslim, "said the man who works as a financial consultant.
When he was a student in the United States, he did not know the religion of Rahmatan Lil ' Alamin. Its campus located in the northeastern region of the US is dominated by whites of many British origin. Ethnic and religious diversity is minimal there. So, very small chances to get to know Islam.

More Curious

Joel did not know why it could be so. For sure, when he first read the Koran, he was fascinated with the wealth of contents.
When returning home from Morocco, Joel decided to learn more about the Koran. One time when walking in New Hampshire City, he saw a fundraising ad created by an Islamic foundation. He had forgotten the name of the foundation. And obviously, Joel contacted the foundation directly with the intention of recognizing Islam. ' ' I do not know that foundation, but I think this is one way that can be done to know about Islam, "said Joel.
Long story short, the foundation made Joel know some people. They then provide some information about Islam. From them anyway, Joel then came to know a Muslim who then showed it to the New Hampshire Mosque. It was there that Joel then studied the Koran.

' ' No one said, ' What do you do here? ' Or ' You do not fit here '. "" They are very friendly and support. They just came up to me and asked ' How can I help you? ' So, I received it very warmly, "he said happy. Shortly thereafter, Joel also said the Creed and embraced Islam. Ndi s
Always sure Istiqamah

According to him, many converts still think that way so that they are difficult to defend the Hidayah that has been acquired. Joel was convinced, he was not the type of convert as such. He believes he will always be istiqamah with his Islamic and become a righteous Muslim. In the depths of his heart, it has also been the determination not to let go of the Hidayah that he has acquired in a unique and extraordinary way. "So, I am committed that I must embrace this religion for a lifetime."
