| "There was a companion of ours in Glasgow who became ill and washospitalized. He was admitted for three days and on the fourth day theattendant nurse said, "Marry me". He [the brother in Glasgow] asked,"Why? I am a Muslim, you and I cannot become companions." She said,"I'll become Muslim". "What's the reason?" it was asked. She said, "Inall my time that I have served in hospitals, except you, I have neverseen a man lower his gaze in front of a woman." "In my life you are thefirst person who lowers his gaze when seeing a woman." "I come, and youclose your eyes. Such great modesty can be taught by none other than atrue religion." The protection of one's gaze entered Islam in her. Shebecame Muslim. They both got married. By now, that girl has become themeans of bringing so many other girls into Islam. How many of the womenthere have become Muslim." |
