Dawn came and went. Another new day.
Just as I had always ignored the beginning of a new day as an insignificant event, so had I on the faith I had been born into.
All these years I have stumbled upon my blessed brethren that had become muslims. "Embrace" is the usual term used although to my lofty thinking it is too presumptious of a word but is consistent with the requirement of having good thoughts on others.
Being born into the faith makes me insensitive to the awareness of choice of faith. Oblivious to the thinking, emotions and the experience of "embracing" Islam.
Looking out to the sky with a squint and a frown, it is nearly noon.
Alhamdulillah I whispered. Indeed, Alhamdulillah.
