❞ كتاب To My Beloved Mother ❝ ⏤ نسيم غازى

I wrote this letter almost 20 years ago while I was
studying in a religious school called Jamiyatul Falah,
Bileria Gunj (Azam Garh District). In those days I
used to go home now and then. It was beyond my
imagination that I would ever be fortunate enough
to embrace Islam. Before I embraced Islam, I was a
Hindu from the Agarwal family. I was 9 years old
when my father passed away. After the demise of
my father, my elder brother became the head of the
family. Because of his tolerance, I always got his
support and encouragement. But my mother neither
liked my embracing of Islam nor any of my Islamic
education away from her, even though I visited her
quite often. My earnest desire was for her to become
one of the followers of the greatest religion on earth
but her desire was opposite to mine. She wished that
I leave this religion as soon as possible and revert to
the old one. But this desire of hers was due to a reason
– the reason being the great love she had for me.
Thus, she was hurt psychologically at my acceptance
of Islam. Such a behavior was expected and natural
because she was ignorant about Islam.


The lives of Muslims in India are not only different
but sometimes irritating due to the fact that their
beliefs and customs are unlike the customs of the
other residents of India. Thus, she had no place in her
heart for Islam. She was already worried about me
and to add to that, others used to incite her in many
ways. I indicated a few of them in this letter. I tried to
remove her misconceptions and doubts about Islam to
the best of my ability and tried to illustrate to her the
teachings of Islam. Sometimes we had face-to-face
discussions while at other times, we spoke through
letters.
When I was born, our family gurus foretold many
a thing about me to my mother among which was:
‘Your son will never be yours.’ When I embraced
Islam, she felt that the priest’s prediction became true.
Consequently, she would remind me of his prophecy
and warn me and she tried her best to keep me away
from Islam.
She thought that there exists no good in Islam and
that her son has fallen into the traps of the Muslims
priests. And this took root in her mind. Through this
letter I tried to remove her misconceptions about
Islam and invited her towards the right way – the way
of Islam.
My intention was to not only remove the misconceptions
she had about me and Islam but to also make clear to
her the truth about Islam, so that she may accept it
and enter Paradise and be saved from the torments of
Hell-Fire.


After reading this letter her intensiveness against
Islam decreased but she was not yet ready to leave her
forefathers’ religion. Quite often I prayed to Allah to
open the doors of her heart to the true religion. After
3 years of continuous discussions and letters, Allah
bestowed His Mercy upon her and she was guided
to Islam. She felt guilty of her past behavior towards
Islam. Today, my mother is satisfied and firm on the
path of Islam. Before she had embraced Islam, she
had studied the translation of the Holy Qur’an several
times and now her earnest desire is to convey the
message of Quran to all of mankind. She also wants
the people to understand the teachings of the Qur’an
and to follow it properly and to remove the wrong
beliefs which are enrooted in their minds. She further
wants the Islamic teachings to be spread among the
common people.
Though this is a personal letter but I hope publishing
it may give guidance to the seekers of truth. I pray to
Allah to guide us to the right religion and make us
firm on it till death reaches us, and may He let us all
die as Muslims. Ameen.
