Someone I know, and she converted to Islam because she was at a bar,
and at the bar there were these men that were very respectful to
her, and they were different from the other men. And so she asked
them, like, Why? Why are you treating me differently than the
other men at this bar? Like there's something different about
you? And they said, Well, we're Muslims and like, we're not
technically supposed to be at the bar, but we are we? Well, they're
not technically supposed to be at the bar, but they are respectful
to women, because that's what their religion teaches them, and
that was her entry to learning about Islam. And Hamilton
eventually became Muslim. But I just thought of how sometimes we
see other people and we think like, well, a lot, of course,
like, no Muslims should be in a bar, but at the same time, only
Allah knows what that person's future is, and maybe that moment
is their opening to repentance, and maybe that repentance will be
a means of other people finding Islam through them in their own
journey back to him.
