Mustafa...

I still remember Paulo Coelho's phrases in the 'Zahir'. After he managed to find his 'Zahir', he began to ask the reader, "Have you found your 'Zahir' ?"...

I might have found it long time ago, and I was very fortunate. Mine was not a 'Zahir' but 'Zahirs'. I found them more than once. As a believer, I firmly believe they were 'maktub'.

Toby @ Mustafa just found his 'Zahir'. I suggest he never thought that he would find it in Durham. After his long journey of the soul searching, he finally encountered it in the Geordy land... Ma Sha Allah Kaana wa ma lam yasha lam yakun.

Mustafa declared his public Syahadah on the 13th February 2009 in the Durham University mosque after the Friday prayer. He received more than 100 new brothers...I told him, they will be more 'brother' than his siblings. Yes, his declaration mesmerised every single person in that praying hall at that moment. As I being told by many, it was the first time they witnessed an English guy embrace Islam before their bare eyes...

Many of them came to ask me, "How did he embrace Islam?",..is he marrying a Muslim girl?, or somebody has been guiding him all the way?....

The truth is...Allah had guided him, and will continue guiding him. The more will come in the near future...insha Allah!
