I think one of the happiest moments of my life was experienced on the 22nd August.
It was on this very memorable day that I became a Muslim. I had been seriously contemplating the step for nearly a year, during which I made a fair study of Islam.
The part which first became embedded in my mind was the plain straightforwardness and logical footing on which this religion has its basis.
Oft of an evening I have been riding alone the waterways in Egypt and have stood and admired the simple way in which the people worship; moreover, one is struck with the devotion of the individual who realizes he is in direct communication with God.
Eventually I found I was unable to continue to follow the doctrines in which I had been brought up.
