It’s rare when you meet a person and you’re blown away by them. But it’s even rarer to meet not just a person, but a soul that lures you in to the point where you never want to part. Today, I met a man who made me feel like I never wanted to stop talking to him. He came over to teach my brother the Quran and afterwards I served him a cup of tea. The fact that he didn’t lift his gaze to look at me instantly told me that this man has so much respect within him. During our small talk, I knew I was talking to a pure and genuine soul who had been blessed by Allah. His face was glowing with the radiance that only Allah has the power to bestow, his eyes held this pure and beautiful depth like the one you see when you discover a coral reef in a place deeper than normal, and his voice flowed with such elegant clarity, I wished he’d talk for an eternity about God and all that he knew about the world.
