Tony Blair's sister-in-law embraced Islam
Lauren Booth is the sister-in-law of former British Prime Minister Tony Blair. She is the sister of Tony Blair's wife (She is Cherie Blair's sister)
Lauren Booth has converted to Islam after having what she describes as a "holy experience" during a visit to Iran.
Who is Lauren Booth?
She Journalist and broadcaster
She works for Press TV, the English-language Iranian news channel.
Booth, the 43-year-old activist, is a presenter for the Iranian news channel Press TV.
She decided to become a Muslim six weeks ago after visiting the shrine of Fatima al-Masumeh in the city of Qom, the second most holy city in Iran after Mashhad.
When she returned to Britain, she decided to convert to Islam immediately.
Lauren Booth said in an interview (October 24th, 2010):
"It was a Tuesday evening and I sat down and felt this shot of spiritual morphine, just absolute bliss and joy,"
Now I don't eat pork and I read the Koran every day. I'm on page 60. I also haven't had a drink in 45 days, the longest period in 25 years,'
'The strange thing is that since I decided to convert I haven't wanted to touch alcohol, and I was someone who craved a glass of wine or two at the end of a day.'
"I was always impressed with the strength and comfort Islam gave,"
Now, after she has embraced Islam:
She wears a "Hijjah" head covering whenever she leaves her home,
She prays five times a day
She visits her local mosque whenever she can.
She has stopped eating pork
She reads the Qur'an every day. She is currently on page 60
She has given up drinking, has stopped drinking alcohol and says she has not wanted to drink since converting.
She hoped her conversion would help Blair change his presumptions about Islam.
She wishes to educate former UK prime minister on true Islam.
It is interesting that Miss Booth said: "I felt this shot of spiritual morphine, just absolute bliss and joy"
She used a very interesting descriptive expression "spiritual morphine" to describe her absolute feeling of bliss and joy.
It is well-known that morphine is a very strong sedative and pain killer.
Some people are drug addict and use morphine, cocaine, tranquillizers, anti anxiety agents etc. to get transient false feeling of joy.
On the other hand, Islam gives you this "spiritual morphine" through many conducts, the most important one is the remembrance of Allah by reading His Word, the Quran.
Verse 13:28 of the Quran says: "those who believe, and whose hearts find satisfaction in the remembrance of Allah: for without doubt in the remembrance of Allah do hearts find satisfaction."
Thus, the True Joy, Happiness, Satisfaction is found but in the Quran.
The Quran, as Miss Booth said is the spiritual morphine that leads you to the absolute bliss and joy.
