Sheikh Yusuf Estes was Texas in an Anglo-Saxon Protestant family.Yusuf Estes left Christianity for Islam in 1991 after meeting an Egyptian named Muhammad. Following his conversion, Estes entered the field of spreading * Dawah * or knowledge about the true essence of understanding Islam.
Muhammad gave him a copy of the Quran in English. He tried to read it then he hesitated. So he asked another chaplain who was his friend for a Muslim converting to Christianity. The chaplain said to him:
- Stay away from this man.. They are very dangerous.. Muslims do not believe the existence of God.. They worship a black box in the desert.. They are terrorists.. kidnappers and they kiss the ground five times a day. Stay away and do not read Quran.
But Sheikh Yusuf Estes asked God to protect him from demons and read one page of the Quran. He opened the book and read:
<< In the name of Allah , the Entirely Merciful, the Especially Merciful. [All] praise is [due] to Allah , Lord of the worlds - The Entirely Merciful, the Especially Merciful, Sovereign of the Day of Recompense. It is You we worship and You we ask for help. Guide us to the straight path - The path of those upon whom You have bestowed favor, not of those who have evoked [Your] anger or of those who are astray.>> (Al-Fatiha).
And he knew immediately that this is the way he had to follow, and this what he was searching for it all his life. If many people knew this topic beautiful words, and all they needed to do only to say God: guide us. When he put his head on the ground, said God: guide me. And when he raised his head from prostration, learned his change and a decision to follow Islam.
