God’s grace that I’m blessed with religion of God, I’m
Mohammed Umar Rao from India, I embraced Islam 6 years back at the age of 18. I
wanted to share my story with you all perhaps this would make a difference for
non-Muslims to really think over to know what is the truth. I shared my story
with two brothers, All praise and thanks be to God, they were convinced that my
decision and choice is best, they started reading Quran and also embraced it
few days back.
My Background
I come from a middle class orthodox Brahmin family; my
parents worked in private firms (Mother: teacher, Father: textile engineer). My
religious education was at my maternal uncle’s place, that’s how I became
orthodox and my whole family education was always against Muslims, which was
nailed in me deeply.
I was associated with RSS for few years; I always hated
Muslims to the extent that in all public functions I wanted to give high volume
for music sound boxes to ensure that the Adhaan [Call to Prayer] should
not be heard at all. I used to go round the town visiting all temples to
complete my worship everyday. I was liked, appreciated in family for being
orthodox and encouraged to do more.
My Meeting with Islam
In the summer, my mother asked me to work for a Muslim
business firm, which I disagreed, because from childhood I always hated Muslims.
My mother stopped forcing me on this; I worked few summers with a non-Muslim so
I was able to satisfy my parents. Later, I quit that part time job because I
did not like the job and started concentrating more on studies aiming for a
better job. Meantime, my mother, sisters worked 2 months in part time for this
Muslim brother. They were highly impressed with him.
I always hated this person because I did not like the
fact that my people were praising a Muslim whom I always hated. I was pushed
and insulted for not being useful to the family, so I started working for the
same Muslim brother though I hated him before going. After getting in his shop
I started hating more because the non-Muslim employees of that shop embraced
Islam, I took this challenge to teach him a lesson claiming my religion is true
and from there, I started doing comparative study with whatever common sense
which God had blessed me then.
By now, in the verge to know more about Islam, I started
reading English translation of the Holy Quran (by Abdullah Yusuf Ali). This
changed my entire student life; I was stuck with fear, doubts, I realized the
fact that whatever I’m doing is wrong, my religion is all about
imaginations/myths and false stories. I had many questions, doubts like where
am I heading to, what should I do? What is my duty? Why has the message of
truth not reached all of us? Many questions came to my mind and my entire
student life went in this hunt of truth.
I started questioning my parents, people around that who
has seen God almighty to paint /make images of God, all answered me that none
has seen God which is so true as it is mentioned in many places in The Quran. Finally,
some mythological stories broke my faith down. The stories of Ganesha,
Chamundeswari, Ram, Sita etc. did not make sense to me. I could no longer
imagine them as gods.
When I questioned my parents that Vedas are against Idol
Worship and why do we still practice it, my mother scolded me saying we are
supposed to do it as our forefathers did it, the next day I read a verse in the
Quran, Al-Baqarah (Chapter 2) which reads:
“When it is said to them: ‘Follow what God has sent down.’ They
say: “Nay! We shall follow what we found our fathers following.” (Would they
do that!) Even though their fathers did not understand anything nor were they
guided?” (Quran 2:170)
…and:
“That was a nation who has passed away. They shall receive
the reward of what they earned and you of what you earn. And you will not be
asked of what they used to do.” (Quran 2:134)
When I read this I was shocked to see something which I
just questioned my mother last night. This ayah (verse) hit me right deep
inside. I slowly stopped worshipping idols, and stopped doing Pooja [Editor’s
note: A Hindu ritual for prayer], since shirk (Polytheism) is the only
sin which will never be forgiven. I started practicing the teachings of Islam
in secret in the beginning. There were few [themes] from chapter Al-Baqarah
(Chapter 2) which [mean that] There are few who accept Islam wherever it
profits them and not whole heartedly [and that they] are hypocrites.
Also:
“This day, I have perfected your religion for you, completed
My Favor upon you, and have chosen for you Islam as your religion.” (Quran 5:3)
I realized that for all the questions that I have in my
mind, the answers are present in the Quran.
By grace of God, I started conveying message of God at
my home with little knowledge I had, I wanted to complete my B.E. meantime,
conveying the truth would make it easy in the long run for me and my family, but
after my final year of diploma I was pushed to wall, then the time came where I
had no choice but to quit my family, my sister also embraced Islam and she
joined me. We had to live out of our house for more than a year without a job
or regular source of income. All praise be to God, God made our ways easy to
be firm on truth.
As God says in the Quran:
“Do people think that they will be left alone because they
say: ‘We believe,’ and will not be tested.” (Quran 29:2)
Over a period, Alhamdulillah, God opened doors of
opportunities for us, I had quit my previous job as I was unable to perform my
five times prayer, All the opportunities that came my way were from the
mechanical industry which demanded that I work in shift and compromise my
prayer. After quitting that job/mechanical profession for 1+ year, I did not
get any job where I can perform 5 times prayer, Grace of God, I started working
as faculty for 2000 rupees for a year and now I’m blessed with a better Job. By
the Grace of God, Almighty God has chosen us, there’s nothing more required
