They had turbah (prayer stones), performed qunut, and said:
I thought:
I remember that they would go to Masjid al-Zahra for Friday prayers. It was completely different from what I had experienced in Germany.
They performed qunut, and I did not understand what they were doing.
I stopped going to Friday prayers with my father.
He became somewhat worried. He had certain thoughts going through his mind. Perhaps he wondered whether his son might be one of those “terrorists.”
He said:
I replied:
🌟 My Brother and the Ahl al-Bayt
The first time I saw a photograph of my brother, I saw a special light in his face.
He looked like the moon—Masha'Allah. 🌕✨
I asked my father:
He told me:
My brother was very spiritual, patient, and devoted to the Ahl al-Bayt, peace be upon them.
Little by little, he introduced me to Shiism and the school of the Ahl al-Bayt.
He taught me Salat al-Layl (the Night Prayer).
The Night Prayer creates a powerful connection between a person and God. While everyone else is asleep, a person stands before Allah and privately speaks with Him.
🤍 “I Am With You”
One night, I was alone in my room. At that time, I felt extremely lonely.
Then I heard a voice in my soul saying:
I felt those words in my heart.
With my entire being, I experienced God's mercy and kindness.
I fell to the ground and began to cry.
I could not stop.
I truly felt God's presence with all my heart and soul. 🤲😭
When Muharram came, I began listening online to lectures about Muharram and learning about the differences between Sunni and Shi'a Islam.
Little by little, my understanding of the school of the Ahl al-Bayt (peace be upon them) became complete.
🕊️ A journey that began with a search for a father ultimately became a journey toward God.
From Christianity → to Islam → and ultimately to the Ahl al-Bayt.
Sometimes, the search for where we come from leads us to discover where we truly belong. ❤️

“Allahu Akbar!”
I thought:
“Oh no… they're Shi'a. What am I going to do?” 😳

He said:
“You're Sunni. You want to kill all of us.”
I replied:
“No, no. I would love to come to the mosque, but I can't pray the way you do.”
