- God's grace can come at any time and to anyone, including a man from Sweden who almost ended his life.
This inspiring story recently went viral on social media and is clear proof of God's power in guiding someone to the right path.
Quoting Bersamadakwah.net, one time there was a Swedish Caucasian man who had bad intentions, the man suddenly met a Muslim man and told him he was going to commit suicide at 12 noon. This Caucasian man admitted that he was experiencing severe depression and decided to commit suicide. He had planned it carefully.
Because it took a long time for the Muslim man to ask him to go to the mosque, the foreigner refused but in the end he agreed. In the mosque, Caucasians heard the Koran until they fell asleep and past 12 o'clock. "I'm sorry I didn't have the heart to wake you up, because you looked so asleep. You missed the time to kill yourself. What should I give you to make up for it?" said the Muslim.
The answer is actually surprising. The Swedish foreigner turned around and asked what place he was stopping at. Then the Muslim man answered that this place was a mosque. Hearing this, he said that he would not commit suicide. "I haven't been able to sleep for the past 3 days. In a row," he said.
Since coming to the mosque, the Swedish foreigner said he could sleep. Finally, the foreigner converted to Islam because he felt he had achieved peace in the mosque.
This inspiring story is proof that Allah always gives His servants the opportunity to return to the right path. Allah's destiny is unpredictable and His guidance can come at any time and to anyone.
