ভূমিকা

Shiavault - a Vault of Shia Islamic Books Converts To Islam Abdur Rahman (formerly Stewart Humes Australian Aboriginal) I would like to go back in time and tell you a little bit about my history. My culture is one of the oldest cultures in the world. I love creation. The history of aboriginal people, we connect so close to the Earth, that we are like the Earth.

In my younger days as a child I grew up knowing about the mysteries and spirits, that everything that is made in creation has a spirit, a formed spirit, that guides it and looks after it and also guides us. When we walked night and day in the bush or wherever, we knew that there was a spirit, a powerful God, that looked over us, all the time.

Then as I grew up I went to high school, was taken away to high school, then I met this other God, same God but in a different form, had to go to Church and pray. I also learnt about racism, I was taken and put in a hostel with about 180 children, 90 boys and 90 girls. It was frightening really in a way because I didnt know anybody and I didnt know what to expect, but I stayed there for three years, and in that three years I learnt about God, Jesus and I learnt about other races.

I learnt how to be hurtful, I learnt how to make people cry and it was sad really because where I come from, we were all sort of one, the white children and the black children grew up together, sort of as one family. I left high school and then I went back home. I worked and then I wanted to know God more.

I got baptized in the Church of England and I wanted to know more about God, so I read the Bible a bit, and had meetings with people and I still had my Aboriginal God too, spirits, and it was very hard to know that there is this other God, that is the same God you know? Anyway, I went to heaps of Churches. I went to the Catholic Church, the Methodists Church, and every Church that came from England, every church that came from America, I was a part of it.

I went from one Church to another, trying to find this God. In 1967 I went to the University of Western Australia, thats where I met Brother Mohammed Rais. Brother Rais is a Muslim (revert) now. Anyway I knew that I had to find something because I became kind of ruff, for ten years, I became like a madman, Im only small but Ive done some things, some real bad things, and I needed to find a God, so I tried again, I went to people, to houses, people would slam doors on your face.
