ALOR SETAR (Bernama): A former triad member never imagined that a brief encounter with a stranger named Adam would open the way and eventually his heart to embracing Islam.

Abdul Rahman Abdullah, 38, formerly Chee Yin Wei, said the short meeting took place in July last year, during a period of uncertainty when he was feeling down and helpless.

He said throughout the prayer, he found himself calmer than usual, and at one point while prostrating in prayer, was overcome with emotions while thinking of the wrongs and sins he had committed, which led to him to seriously think of embracing Islam. "On Aug 7 last year, I went to meet an Imam at a mosque in Jalan Pegawai and recited the kalimah shahadah , witnessed by the mosque committee members. Alhamdulillah, I felt a sense of gratefulness for this priceless blessing, ” he said.

"I may have been someone powerful, fearful and wealthy in society before, but I've left all those behind and have chosen Islam as my pillar of faith.
