my mum became a muslim because of your influence and i would like to thank you for allowing me to grow up as a muslim

[ahmedgalal]

We consider ourselves Muslims(Whom born in Islam) but, brother when we see you Reverts and what you have left for the sake of Allah, We feel we are too small, I think you(Reverts) are the Best of Muslims in this Era, I pray to Allah to bless your mind and soul. As our prophet Mohammed PBAH said "People is like Metals, The best of them before Islam will be the best among you if they learned".

I always think of the joy that filled the prophet's heart when he first listened to this everlasting welcoming chant 💗 its so beautiful how after 1429 years of that it's being chanted by one of his brothers in the other side of this world welcoming his birth anniversary and his beautiful coming to this world
Peace and prayers be upon you oh messenger of God ❤️

We used to sing this when we were kids in Indonesia (with a different melody). Now I'm listening this in France. After what we encountered a few days ago, this is soothing. Thanks, Yusuf.
