When I was driving to Cairo, in one of the bridge that connects the city, suddenly a cow and a small child passing in front of me, I was shocked and can not control the vehicle. Unconsciously my car plunge into the river, and I'm already in the water. I lift my head up in order to breathe, but the car continued to sink and the water barely meet in my car, my hand touched the door handle right away, but the door was locked. At that moment I felt it would soon die, what comes to mind is the journey of my life filled with sin and stains. Everything was as dark, like being in a deep and dark tunnel, screaming panic gripping and thought, "Yaa Rabb ... Save me, not of death will soon be going through, but save me from all sin that has surrounded me, I feel like my soul drift and beg forgiveness of God before you meet him, and I say two sentences creed, I began to feel going to die.

That's when I heard the call to prayer, as if I'd only heard the first time. I immediately got up and immediately rushed ablutions. In the mosque, after I pray, I declare repentance and ask God to forgive me; Since then, as now you see my face change due to repentance. "
