Why did Jad A Jewish boy accepted Islam
Somewhere
in France about 50 years ago there was a 50 year old Turkish man, named
Ibrahim, who worked in a grocery store. . . This store was located in a
building where a Jewish family lived in one of its apartments. The Jewish
family had a seven year old son named Jad.
…
…
The Child Jad used to go to uncle Ibrahim’s shop everyday to buy necessities for his house. Every time on his way out Jad used to sneak out and steal a piece of chocolate. One day Jad forgot to steal a piece of chocolate. While he was leaving the store uncle Ibrahim called out his name and reminded him to take a piece like he usually did! Jad was extremely shocked because he thought that uncle Ibrahim did not know about his daily theft. He asked uncle Ibrahim to forgive him and made a promise that he would not steal anymore chocolate next time.
Uncle Ibrahim
said to him: “No, you will promise me NOT to steal any thing in your life, and
in return you can take a piece of chocolate everyday when you leave the store.”
… Jad accepted the deal and was very happy … Several years passed and uncle
Ibrahim became like a father to Jad … As well as a mother and friend.
If Jad had any
problems he would go to uncle Ibrahim and tell him about them. Usually when Jad
finished his story, uncle Ibrahim pulled a book out from the stair case in the
shop, and gave it to Jad to randomly open to any page. When Jad opened to a
page uncle Ibrahim read the two pages that showed up, closed the book, and
solved Jad’s problem. Jad used to leave with joy because his stress was gone
and gained some peace of mind that his problem has been resolved …
Years passed and
that was the relation between Jad and uncle Ibrahim, (advices given by the
uncle) the old Turkish Muslim who had no education! After 17 years Jad became a
young man. He was 24 while uncle Ibrahim was 67 …
Uncle Ibrahim
died but before his death, he left a box for his children to give to Jad as a
gift. Uncle Ibrahim put inside that box the book that Jad used to open every
time he had visited the shop. Jad learned of uncle Ibrahim’s death when his
children gave him the box. Jad was very sad and upset .. Uncle Ibrahim was his
savior when he had problems. He helped him even in his worst situations and
thought that nothing could help him, uncle Ibrahim was his rescuer.
Days passed ..
One day a problem
had occurred to Jad and he remembered uncle Ibrahim and the box that he left
for him. He returned to the box and opened it. He found the book that he used
to open when he visited uncle’s shop! Jad opened a page in the book but the
book was written in Arabic and he did not know it. He went to his Tunisian
friend and asked him to read the two pages from the book for him and he did!
Jad explained his problem to his friend and his friend was able to find the
solution for Jad! Jad was astonished [with the result] and asked his friend:
“What is this book?” the Tunisian friend answered, “This is the holy Quran, the
book of Muslims!” Jad replied, “How do I become a Muslim?” The Tunisian said:
“You say Al- Shahada [that there is no God but Allah and Mohammed is the
messenger of Allah] and follow the law of the religion [Al-Sharee’a].” Jad
said: “I witness that there is no God but Allah and Mohammed is the messenger
of Allah.”
The Muslim Jad
Llah …
Jad became a
Muslim and chose a name for him “Jad Llah Al-Qurani”. He chose the name to show
his respect and greatness to this great book and decided to spend the remainder
of his life serving this holy book. Jad Llah studied and mastered the book with
full understanding. He started his mission [calling people to Allah] in Europe
and many people accepted Islam on his hand. It was estimated around 6000 Jews
and Christians were converted to Islam [in Europe] .. One day while he was
flipping in his old papers he opened the Quran that was given to him as a gift
by uncle Ibrahim. He found a world map at the beginning of the book and on the
African continent, there was uncle Ibrahim’s signature. Below the signature was
written the verse: 16:125 “أدع إلى سبيل ربك بالحكمة والموعظة الحسنة Call unto
the way of thy Lord with wisdom and fair exhortation” ! Jad Llah thought that
was a sign for him [to go to Africa and invite people to Islam] and it was part
of uncle Ibrahim’s Will for him to succeed. He decided to achieve this goal …
He left Europe and went to Kenya, South Sudan, and Uganda and its surrounding
countries to call people to Allah. Just from the Zawlaw tribes, more than six
million people accepted Islam on his hand.
His Death
Jad Llah
Al-Qurani, the true Muslim, the eager worker for Allah, dedicated 30 years of
his life in Islam inviting people to follow Allah and mostly in the isolated
land of Africa . Millions of people accepted Islam from his hard work…. Jad
Llah Al-Qurani died in the year 2003 because of diseases that he got in Africa
to call people to Allah .. At that time he was 54 years old which was spent for
Da’wa (inviting people to Allah) …
The story has not
finished yet …!
His Mom, was a
fanatic Jew and an educated university teacher. She was converted to Islam last
year. She accepted Islam in the year 2005 after two years of her good Muslim
son’s death .. She became a Muslim at the age of 70. She said that she spent 30
years of her son’s life fighting him to bring him back to Judaism. With all her
experience and education and her skill of convincing people, she admitted that
she was not able to convince her son to return. But uncle Ibrahim, the old
uneducated man, was able to hook her son’s heart to Islam! She eventually
believed and said, “This is the right religion …”
We ask Allah to
protect her and be among good people ..
Why did Jad
accepted Islam!!??
Jad Llah
Al-Qurani said, Uncle Ibrahim and for 17 years he never said “You unbeliever”
or “You Jew” , or never even asked him to “Accept Islam” . . . ! Imagine
through 17 years he never talked to him about religion or Islam or Judaism! A
very old person and had no education was able to attract this child’s heart to
the Quran!
A Sheikh asked
Jad Llah in one of his meetings about his feeling and about the fact that
several millions of people accepted Islam on his hand! He replied that he did
not feel so much pride and deserve to be praised so much because (God’s mercy
to him) that he gave part of the favor to the wonderful work of uncle Ibrahim.
Dr. Safwat
Hujazee said, during a conference in London to study the situation of Darfur
[in Sudan] and how to support the needy Muslims from the damage of War and
conversion to Christianity, that he met one of Sheikhs of Zawlaw tribe who
lived in Darfur and during the meeting Dr. Hujazee asked [the Sheikh]: “Do you
know Dr. Jad Llah Al-Qurani?” As soon as the Sheikh heard the name he stood up
and asked Dr. Hujazee: “Do you know him?”
.. Dr. Hujazee
replied: “Yes and we met in Swissland when he was under treatment there” . .
The Sheikh suddenly took Dr. Hujazee’s hand and kissed it with happiness, Dr.
Hujazee said to him “What are you doing? I did not do something to deserve your
behavior!” But the Sheikh replied: “I am not kissing your hand but I am kissing
the hand which shook the hand of Dr. Jad Llah Al-Qurani!” Dr. Hujazee asked
again: “Did you accept Islam because of Dr. Jad Llah?” … The tribal Sheikh
answered: “NO, but I accepted Islam from one who accepted Islam on the hand of
Dr. Jad Llah Al-Qurani (God’s mercy to him.)
Subhana Allah,
how many people will accept Islam from people who pronounced Islam on the hand
of Jad Llah Al-Qurani!? and blesses back to him and to the one who caused Jad
Llah’s Islam, uncle Ibrahim who died 30 years ago.
Please God have
mercy with uncle Ibrahim and Jad Llah Al-Qurani..
