Looking around all I see is light. The light is making a shadow of a girl trying to find herself. I'm on an uncomfortable camel slowly traveling across this bone-dry desert. "God peace with you", said a group of Muslim's. Thinking in the past people say that Muslims should go to hell or they should die. I don't think that ,do you? Sometimes things can mess your head up like the desert. I'm on the Arabian peninsula desert and it's dry and hot. Arab nomads, called Bedouins, migrated through the desert raising sheep, goats and camels.
My eye sight wasn't as clear as it was before. I thought I was going crazy like Muhammad when he started to have visions. While thinking about myself, a cloudy area was looming. The desert is often swept by windstorms. Powerful winds may flare up suddenly causing blinding sand storms." ساڈصٹہڑم
Sand storm", said a man while his hat flew off.
"Help", "God Help", "Sorry I seined ", several people said. While the sand storm was hitting and knocking me out, I felt the sand coming up every 5 sec. I wanted to say I was dead, but I dissude myself not to say it. I felt the urge that god and god only was keeping his hands on me and helping me through this. Muslims believe in Moses, Gabriel and also Abraham.
Like Muhammad, I had a vision of the past and the future. "Recite in the name of thy lord! Who created man from blood coagulated. Recite! Thy lord is wonderous kind. Who by the pen has taught mankind things they know not". This message was from Gabriel. Muhammad had the same message. In a way it seems I'm in Muhammad's footsteps. While still facing the sandstorm the muslims and I were praying. Praying is a common thing for muslims. The Ka'ba Shrine in Makkah is a holy place for muslims to pray and get close to god. Ya! the standstrom was finally over. I guess praying works for sandstorms. "Thanks to God" I said.
God can do things I can't do. Learning about muslims I learned their environment is different and similiar as America's. This experience makes me learn that if you're in trouble, just pray and don't judge people by their religion. It's wrong.
