Ma shaa'Allaah,believed to be the oldest revert in the world, 95-year-old Georgette Lepaulle from Berchem (Belgium) accepted Islam in 2012. It all started when her family had wanted to put her in an old age nursing home. Her Muslim neighbour, Muhammad of 40 over years had heard about it and talked to her family that he will happily take over the responsibilty to care and look after her and not to leave her in a home as Islam doesnt allow that and he wanted to help. It wasn't problem as Muhammad’s wife, son and two daughters knew Georgette all throughout their lives. Muhammad had just lost his own mother and Georgette helped to recover that loss.
"Living with Muhammad's family, I fell in love with Islam" Georgette had said. “I saw how these people prayed together. I saw how caringly they interacted. How they talked to each other. How important family is to them.Islam is truly beautiful! Totally different from my cold family. Since my conversion, I have not heard from my 72 year old daughter."
Subhan'Allaah, It's NEVER too late to return to Allaah! Never to late to become Muslim. All the sin she had gathered up for 95 years is forgiven AND NOW SHE IS LIKE A NEW BORN BABY! May Allaah (subhanahu wa ta'ala) reward brother Muhammad and his family for their kindness and guidance to this sister and showing us the value of honoring our parents.Aameen!
