"\u201cYes, I walked for three hours,\u201d replied the young man.\u201cWhy did you walk?,\u201d the ustaz asked again.\u201cFor Hasanat,\u201d the young man replied."

Hasanat is interpreted as good things. Therefore, hasanat can be defined as the good things that someone obtains during their lifetime in this world as provisions for the afterlife. The teenager admitted to walking 35,000 steps to obtain goodness by going to the mosque. The young man's answer left the religious teacher speechless. He was amazed by the young man's spirit.

The teenager then shared his journey of getting to know Islam. He admitted to converting to Islam on March 19, 2023. He believes that Islam is the only remaining religion in the world and feels that other religions have lost their value. "Because I believe Islam is the only remaining religion in the world as every other religion has lost its value in this world," he explained.

The following text is already in English: "The man whose name is unknown revealed that there are about 45,000 to 50,000 denominations within Christianity. He expressed that Christianity has numerous uncountable contradictions. "So within Christianity, there might be 45,000 or 50,000 denominations. And within Christianization, there are many different contradictions, you can't even count them," he said."

The contradiction he found was when he was nine or ten years old at that time he was always taught that Jesus is God. According to him, Jesus is an important figure and not God. "For example, when I was still young, maybe nine or ten years old, so I was always taught that Jesus is God. Even when I was young, I knew that Jesus was not God, but something inside me told me that Jesus is not God. I knew (Jesus) was important, but there was something different inside me," he emphasized.

Since childhood, the man has been interested in the Islamic religion. He strives to find out about Islam and to know its truth. Finally, the young man decided to recite the two sentences of the shahada in a mosque before the month of Ramadan. "I have always been interested in Islam, even since I was young. I tried to find out, not long to know its truth. Two days before Ramadan, I recited the shahada in the mosque," he said. Report: Nisya Aprilya.
