Very humble gentleman named Karim from Harlem. He often sees the Harinam party in the Times Square subway and wondered what it’s all about? He came up to me and said hello so I showed him a few of our books and he started telling me that he believes in one God and he’s a long time practicing Muslim. He uses a walker to help him get around because of some health issues but still he prays five times a day at the Masjid in Harlem close to where he lives. He told me that most of his family members are Christians but he became interested in Islam in his middle age around forty years old and it’s been helping him so he stuck with it. I showed him our set because he said he likes to read a lot and offered him a special discount on the price, since a nice gentleman from Pakistan I met earlier in the day gave me a very nice donation to sponsor some books. Karim still didn’t have enough for the discounted price so he started asking random people walking by for some money until one person gave him some money so he had enough to cover the cost and take the books home with him!
