the truth you never thought you'd know

8/2/2019 The Truth You Never Thought You'd Know

1/3

This is a true story that happened with a caller to Islam from Egypt

called Amr Khalid, he said, three days ago I received an email from a

young lady from Australia, and the email reads as follows,

And I quote:

I am a young Lebanese lady that has a Muslim father and a Christian

mother, for the first ten years of my life I lived in Lebanon then we mi-

grated to Australia which brought an end to my relationship to my

connection with the Middle East.

I am currently 22 years of age and after migrating to Australia, my as-

sociation with my religion also ended completely. The only thing I

know is that I am a Muslimah, thats it.

I dont know what the Quran looks like, I dont know how to pray

and the religion plays no significance in my life. My mother and father

separated, each one remarrying another person.

I entered university.

My mother and father left Australia living me behind alone with no

family, no brothers and sisters,

I know nothing about my ancestry in Lebanon.

I lived alone and I had to work to spend on myself.

I attended university in the morning and

worked at the bar in the evening.

I have a boyfriend and have not left out any haram except having done

it without any shame. I am fully westernised.

I know a little bit of Arabic and because I am extremely beautiful, I

joined the beauty competition in New Zealand andwon in this competition. I am planning to join a beer competition in

New Zealand and I am currently modelling for magazines.

During this time I used to visit a Lebanese family residing in Australia

and I saw a Ramadan episode on television talking about modesty, the

episode had its web address displayed.

I went through a nervous breakdown; it was as though this episode

was addressing me directly.

I am sending you this email to ask, is it possible for Allah to accept me,

in other words forgive me?

And this is where Sarahs email ends.

Subhanallah!

No matter how far off a persons imaan is, the soul of a person longs for

its Creator just as the stomach hungers for food so too does the soul

long for Allah.

This caller to Islam wrote back advising her about the conditions of re-

pentance and that Allah will of course forgive her if she repents.

Two days later she contacts Amr Khalid and she says; I have repented

to Allah and I have left my boyfriend and promised never to see him

again.

After another two days she contacts him and she says: I want to learn

how to pray.

Then another two days passed and she says: I would like some

Quranic audio tapes, so he sends her some tapes via DHL Korea.

A week goes by and he doesnt hear from her until she contacts him

and informs him that she has retracted

her beauty title of that particular city.

Then came the surprise, she contacted him saying,

I have put on the hijaab.

However the story doesnt end here, two days after putting

on the hijaab she experiences a sharp pain so she goes to the doctorwho diagnosis her with brain cancer and that her days are limited...

She enters the hospital to be operated on, the success rate of this op-

eration as informed by the doctors in Australia is 20 percent, this is

what the doctors said.

As for Sarah, listen to what she has to say:

I am pleased to meet Allah, I am happy that I repented prior to find-ing out about my illness.

I dont know whether my mother and father will know

about my situation. If I live, I will support this website, for this website

is my window to Islaam.

To Allah we belong and to Him we will return.

May Allah have mercy on Sarah who died at the age of 22.

They buried her with the Muslims in New Zealand. Prior to her death,

she sent a short letter to Amr Khalid saying:

I lived far away from my Lord for 22 years but I repented and turned

back to Allah 3 weeks ago.

I dont know many Muslims besides you and the internet forum.

I urge you make dua for me that Allah has

mercy on me and to forgive me.

Make dua to Allah to guide my mother

for she does not know anything about me.

Signed Sarah
