YOUR SALAM IS MY DOWER
Prof Altan
The drizzle at that time was still down to wet the earth, I was still steady with my belief to study Islam .and prof Altan is the last reference to the conclusion of my journey to the converts as my consideration, whether I choose Islam or vice versa.
" Son..you know?.
He opened his voice again, looking at me with a gentle gaze like a father staring at his son.
" Yes prof, I answered ,
a sign that I'm ready to listen to her story.
" Everyone or student I used to be when I was still actively teaching when tutoring, they always served me well, even I do not hesitate to prepare a room for them to spend the night if they are students from far away.
I don't want to show you kindness, son, just that I want to tell you that Islam is the perfect religion.
" Hearing prof Altan, I just smiled giving my response.
" What should I tell you, son?
you are very young and unmarried .
" Not prof, I replied with a smile hearing his question on target
" don't you study Islam because you intend to marry a Muslim woman?
" I gasped at her words, no response I showed, other than bowing my face, there was shame there .
" hmmm...I am sure if it is true, surely the Muslimah is very charming, how not? seeing you a young, handsome and smart man willing to study Islam and come to Bursa with no small amount of time, his words seduce me, he smiled after he finished talking, he said,
it seems that he knows very well to make the atmosphere of discussion become more familiar.
" Well, I will tell you about my journey to becoming a Muslim, "
then prof Altan began to tell the story by first drinking warm tea served on the table, the room was quiet, the room was quiet,
there were only the two of us and a housekeeper was seen passing by tidying up the house.
" I am a Scottish citizen of Turkish descent, my mother is Turkish and my father is Scottish .
my father was a professor of electro in Scotland and my mother was just an ordinary housewife, my family was not used to applying religion to our family, it's just more about the cultivation of morals and values, even though my family is actually Jewish.
I was sent to a Jewish school to learn a lot about the Jewish religion, but I was not there long, because I was not comfortable there, the reason is very simple and I still remember that is because I asked too many questions,
I smiled as he recounted his teenage years.
Very similar to my teenage years (in Aras).
" I grew up to the age of 13 years without a religious background, when one day I was fascinated with a work of Ailbert. To this day I still respect his works , impressed by the work, I finally decided to become a communist.
At the same age, I met a close friend at an international school.he was a saudia and a Muslim. My friend gave me the Qur'an and wanted me to read it.
" I don't want you to go to hell said Prof Altan mimicking his little friend's style of speech.
A few years later I became doubtful of the communist values that I believed in, I finally gambled and did not choose to understand anything.
" i kept staring at him, and occasionally drank the tea on the table."
he paused for a moment when he saw me drinking and then continued his story again .
" There was an event that changed my mind all along,.
" What events Prof? manya curious.
" My grandfather's sudden death."
" i still enjoy dinner with him, when tomorrow morning at 8 am in the news he is dead . I was 20 years old when I was finishing my S-1 studies in America.
there were no signs of death from my grandfather.he was very healthy but somehow he suddenly died.
"i then wrestled with some stupid questions.''
" Where is Grandpa now after being taken by the LORD??
where did Grandpa go?
where will I go when I die?
and what are we for in this world?
the stupid question kept spinning in my head until the moment my grandfather was buried the question I did not get the answer at all,.
