An elderly Australian announced his conversion to Islam after he came to the mosque to complain about the loud sound of the Eid prayer.
In a touching scene and amidst the congratulations of the worshipers, a video clip of the elderly Australian was documented pronouncing the two testimonies in Arabic and English and crying warmly while being congratulated by the mosque’s visitors.
Haj Hassan Goose, one of the active preachers in Australia, and in the suburb of Arundel in the Gold Coast city in particular, shared the clip on his Facebook account, commenting on it, “Welcome to you, my brother, in Islam on the day of Eid.” He added, “This brother came to complain about the noise this morning. And he returned home as a Muslim, God is great.”
Hassan said at the beginning of the clip that the old man, who is called Parween and lives in a nursing home near the mosque, came to complain to him about the noise that might have occurred after the Muslims gathered for the Eid prayer, but he sat with him for fifty minutes and talked to him during which he was convinced of Islam and wanted to convert.
The clip showed Sheikh Hassan teaching the elderly man the martyrdom amidst the man’s emotion and crying, and the Muslims present in the mosque approached him to congratulate him in a distinguished atmosphere, welcoming him to his new family, as they put it, according to Al Jazeera.
The clip was widely admired on the platforms, as Muslims called for guidance, and congratulated him on entering Islam at this age.
