Expressing his feelings on the occasion, American tourist Steve said that he was thankful to Allah for enlightening him about the truth of Islam and helping him to become his servant. He said he is thankful to Sheikh Al-Sudais and other scholars without whom it was not possible to travel from darkness to light.
