of the state of South Africa, where I was working as director of the
Office of the Muslim World League there. That was in 1996
and we were in the winter that we solve the frigid in that country, and
one day the sky was a cloudy and threatens Bhpop winter storm
overwhelming, and while I was waiting for someone had set him a date to
meet him my wife was at home longer lunch, where will it the person
honored guest at home. The appointment with her figure
kinship South African President Nelson Mandela, the former president,
was the personal care and promote Christianity and calls for her .. It's
personal priest (Sealy). I've been meeting with Sealy by
secretary of the Association Office Abdul Khaliq Mitter, where he told
me that the priest wants to come to the headquarters of the Association

Solomon was a boxer and became a member of the WBA after that of Allah
be upon him to Islam after tour Muslim boxer Muhammad Ali. I met them all in my office and I was too happy for meeting them. Seeley was a short man, very dark skin, a permanent smile. He sat in front of me and began to talk to me in a moral way. I said to him: My brother Sealy, Is it possible to listen to the story of you followed Islam? Seeley smiled and said: Yes, certainly. And listen to him Dear Brothers and focused to what he told me, and then judge for yourselves.
Seeley
said: I was a priest very active, serve the church very hard not
content myself with that, but you're a senior missionaries in South
Africa, but my activity big chose me Vatican so I Balentasir support him
I took the money I receive from the Vatican for this purpose, and I was
using all means in order to get to my goal . I figured I
visited succession and multiple, institutes, schools, hospitals,
villages and forests, and you pay of that money to the people in the
pictures aid or donations or alms and gifts, in order to get to the
Mbtagaa and enter the people in the Christian religion .. was the church
waterlogging Ali became rich, I have a house and a car good salary, and
prestige among priests. One day I went to buy some gifts from the mall and the towns there was a surprise !! In
the market he met a man wearing a keffiyeh (bonnet) and the merchant
sells gifts, clothes you wear long white priests Collar which is our
trademark on the others, and began negotiating with the man on the value
of gifts. And I knew that the man Muslim We call upon the
religion of Islam in South Africa: the religion of the Indians, but
Anicol the religion of Islam, and after that I bought what I want of
gifts, but say the traps sign the credulous people, as well as the
owners of their religious and spiritual emptiness as we take advantage
of situations of poverty when Many Muslims, and South Africans to
Nkhaddahm Christian religion and Nnzarethm ..
- If a Muslim merchant ask me: You are a priest ..
is not it ?
I said to him: Yes.
He asked me: Who is your God?
I said to him:
- Christ is God.
He said to me:
-
I dare you to any one comes to me in (the Bible) says the words of
Christ, peace be upon him personally, he said: (I am God, or I am the
Son of God) Vaabdona.
If
the words of a Muslim man thunderbolt fall on my head, and I could not
answer him and I tried to come back good look back and dive out in the
books of the Gospels and Christian books to find a satisfactory answer
to the man did not find !! There was not a single verse speaks the words of Christ, and says that it is God or the Son of God.
And I dropped in the hands of the man and they always embarrass me, and I've become grief and fed my chest. How missed me such questions ? The man left and Himmat on my face, but what I learned by myself and I was walking too long without a certain direction ..
Then designed to look for such signs whatever it cost me, but I was unable to beat.!
So I went to the canon Council requested that I meet with its members, all agreed.
At the meeting, I told them what I heard. If everyone attacking me and say to me, I deceived the Indian ..
He wants to Adilk obese Indians. I said to them: If you answer me !! .. and responded to questioning. Not a must.! And
it came on Sunday in which my speech and my lesson was in the church,
and stood in front of people to talk to, and I could not admire people
for Oukovi in front of them without talking. He withdrew
to within the church and asked a friend to me to solve a local, and I
told him that I have exhausted .. In fact, I collapsed, dashing and
psychologically. I went to my house and I'm in a daze They
are great, and then I went for a small place in my house and I sat in
mourn it, then optical lifted to the sky, and took the call on, but I
call? .. I went to the thought that he is God the Creator .. and I said
in the propaganda: ( Lord .. my Creator. I've closed the door in my face
is on your door, do not deprive me of the right to know, where is the
truth and where the truth? Lord! Lord, do not leave me in my haste, and
inspired me and guided me right to the truth).
Then dozed and grown. During
my sleep, if my I see in a dream in a very large room, where no one
else .. At issued the hall, a man, I did not notice the features of the
light which it radiates from him and around him, he thought that this
God who Katabth that show me on the right .. but I realized Munir as a
man .. So the man refers to the calls: O Abraham! I looked around, I looked to see who is Ibraham ? I did not find anyone in the room with me ..
The

my right, if a group of men carrying on her shoulders moving her
belongings, and wear white robes, white turbans. He said the man was quoted as saying: follow these. To know the truth !! And
I woke up, and I felt very happy I am at, but I'm not comfortable when I
took .. I wonder where I will find this group, which I saw in a dream? And it is designed to continue the journey, the journey to seek the truth, as described to me came to show me in a dream. And
I realized that all this plotting of God Almighty .. I took leave of my
work, and then began a long search, forced me to wandering in several
cities looking and ask for the men dressed in white robes and white
turbans also Atamamon ..
It was a long research and roaming, and all of you watch them Muslims wearing trousers and wearing scarves on their heads only. My
roaming and arrived to the city (Johannesburg), until I came to the
reception to African Muslims Committee Office, in this building, and I
asked the receptionist for the group, Clean I beggar, extending his hand
with some coins I said to him: You do not ask you this. do not you have a place to pray close to here ? I
showed it to a nearby mosque .. .. If I went towards him by surprise
was waiting for me was on the door of the mosque, a man wearing white
robes and a turban on his head. Rejoiced, he is of the same quality that I've seen in my dream .. I went straight to him and I'm happy with what I see! If the man Abadrna saying, Before I speak to one word: hello Ibrahim !!! Vtjpt and shocked as I heard !! The man knows my name before I introduce myself to him. Fattaba man, saying:
- I saw you in my dream that you are looking from us, and want to know the truth. and the truth is in the religion that Allah contented upon his worshipers which is Islam. I
said to him: - Yes, I am looking for the truth and I have guided me
enlightening the man that I saw in a dream, because the group followed

and I saw Muslims, many of whom was wearing like the guy I watched them
bow and worship to God, I said to myself: (God, he the true religion, I

to the ground prostrate to Allah).
After
prayers relieved myself and was reassured when I saw and heard, and I
said to myself: (God Almighty God to the true religion has guided me)
and called me a Muslim Islamist announced man, uttered a brief prayer,
and took the cry great weeping with joy as God Ali of guidance.
Then

calling people to Islam, and rejoiced accompanied me to them, and
learned of them prayer and fasting and the night and pray and honesty,
truthfulness, and learned of them that Muslims are a nation of God put
the responsibility Report the religion of God, and I learned how to be a
Muslim preacher to God, and I learned them wisdom in the call to God,
and I learned them patience, forbearance, sacrifice and simplicity. Several
months later, I returned to my city, my family and my friends. If
looking for me, and when they saw me come back to them Islamic dress,
denied it, and asked me canon Council to convene an urgent meeting with
