My Host Family

My Allah bless them and grant them Jannah. My original plan was to come to Egypt with everyone and rent a hotel until we found an apartment. We have been prepared to stay in a hotel for a month until we found a place. Allah is so merciful, there was a brother in the masjid, Salih that I regularly see during Isha, he is from Egypt. When he found out I was going to there, he inquired of my plans, I told him what they were generally but he wanted more details, so I told him. He told me "NO". I am thinking to myself I don’t need any negative thoughts for our journey, but then he told me he has a brother, Dr. Geith, that will help me. Everything is from Allah. Through his brother and his family my initial contact with Egypt was so so much easier.
I spoke to his brother a few times on the phone, he gave me useful advice and counsel on my move to Egypt, He was leaving from NY to Egypt on July 22 (Shezena’s birthday) and told me if I travel with him he would show me around and help with living arrangements. I stayed in there home, they prepared an extra room for me with my own entrance and bathroom, it was very nice. Let me clarify I only met him on the airplane and he and his family opened themselves to me. May Allah be pleased with them and forgive their sins. The doctor’s son, Ahmed showed me around the area and helped me find an apartment, this was done with the best of care. Not only did they help me find an apartment I am now seeing some patients in his office with the help of my wonderful wife.
