In high school, my parents decided that we were going to go take a

00:00:03 --> 00:00:09

family trip to Mecca and go for Amra. I felt nothing as we were

00:00:09 --> 00:00:13

walking through the outside haram before we got to the Kaaba. And my

00:00:13 --> 00:00:17

parents were like, don't look until you get to the Kaaba itself,

00:00:17 --> 00:00:20

so that it will be the very first thing that you see inside of the

00:00:20 --> 00:00:23

haram. So I was keeping my eyes lowered, hearing my parents

00:00:23 --> 00:00:26

weeping and thinking, I don't feel anything. Am I supposed to feel

00:00:26 --> 00:00:29

something? I don't feel anything. And my dad said to look up, Allah,

00:00:32 --> 00:00:36

my heart was dead, and Allah brought it to life. It was the

00:00:36 --> 00:00:38

first time that I actually felt my heart, and I didn't even know that

00:00:38 --> 00:00:42

you could feel your heart. It was the first time that I felt my

00:00:42 --> 00:00:46

heart. And I just immediately, I just started bawling and begging

00:00:46 --> 00:00:50

Allah to to guide me, to forgive me, to help me know him. And that

00:00:50 --> 00:00:55

moment for me was so, so transformational that in that

00:00:55 --> 00:00:58

moment, I was like, I want to know who Allah is. Like, I want to

00:00:58 --> 00:00:58

know.
