ISLAM

I have the Quran in 3 languages. I drunk Zam Zam water, I have been wearing Abaya and I have been praying in Arabic to Allah myself. I did not go to the mosque yet, but I definitely will. Neither I was in Makkah but hopefully I will visit the holy place next summer. 

My experience wearing Abaya was feeling beautiful, pure, and honestly powerful for being covered. 

Drinking Zam Zam water helped me to heal infections and viruses I cached living in Dubai. I did not take any medication, what I did is to drink daily the holy water that a friend of mine named Aisha who works for the Islamic Affairs brought for me from Saudi Arabia. I started to listen to the Quran and read the Spanish Version meanwhile it was doing my best reciting in Arabic, which I barely speak. Somehow and because of respect, meanwhile listening to Quran, I also started to cover my hair with a shawl voluntarily not because I was forced to do so. 

But the real Miracle happened last year in May 2014, driving from Dubai to Oman with my friend Reem Ismail, to do my Visa. We stopped the music inside the car when the prayer started. I had no choice. So from singing POP songs I went into a deep mode of listening to religious messages in a language that I didn't speak or understand. 

Suddenly, something very weird happened. I started to feel like floating. It felt like my soul was leaving my body for real to fly out reaching out for the sky and for more than 10 seconds I felt like an empty body sitting in the back seat of a car. 

I did not say a word, cause I was a more of in a shock. Reem asked me if I did like the sura, but not a word came out from my mouth. I kept starring at her with a big humble and confusing smile. 

After the prayer was over I touched her shoulder and when she turned back I said: 

- Reem, I am scared... Something just happened. Something really really really weird just happened to me. 

But then she answered: 

- Welcome to the Miracles of Islam.

Praying

Another Miracle happened when I was at the hairdresser with two friends of mine, Jihad and Sihem. Sihem invited me to pray with her. I put two towels on the floor and covered my self the best I could. It was Friday prayer. She was the one leading and praying in Arabic language, I was just following as I was not ready to recite. In the moment we were kneeling with the forehead on the floor, I heard a male voice whispering with her. I looked at her various times trying to find out where the male voice was coming from..... But I could not visualise any male figures.... It was so clear to me that there was a second voice praying with her. I did not want to interrupt her, so I waited till after the prayer to tell her. During the prayer it felt like floating. I was free of pain and somehow happy and relieved as well. Once the Friday prayer was over, I turned back and facing her I confessed having heard a male voice during the prayer. She smiled and answered back: 

"That was an angel. Welcome to Islam!" 

Where We Go When We Die?

That's the honest true. 

I was never a believer. I was raised catholic and I went many times to the Vatican. I went to church every Sunday and prayed to God every night. But I never had a sensational feeling and most of the times I felt like talking alone. Within time I stopped believing, stopped visiting the church and one day I even stopped praying. 

But then I took a job in Dubai and in May 2014 the Quran came to my hands. I started to read what the book is about and to do some research looking for proves and real facts.

In June a good friend of mine lost his 21 year old sister. I was broken and devastated and did not see for him any way out. What I did not understand was why he strangely was absolutely not feeling the same way I was.

He was in tears, and sad because of her absence, but he was inside very calm and in a weird peace. 

I asked him how he felt about his loss and he answered me with one sentence:

"I am happy for her because now she is in a much better place - out of harm -suffering and pain. "

I replied asking;

"What is your religion that makes you feel and think that way?"

He answered just one word:

"ISLAM"
