the story of Sheikh Syarifuddin khalifah who Islamized thousands of people

Syarifuddin Khalifah, the boy's name. He was born in the town of Arusha, Tanzania. Tanzania is a country in East Africa with a population of 36 million. Approximately 35 percent of the population is Muslim, followed by Christian 30 percent and the rest of the various beliefs, especially animism. However, the city of Arusha where the birth of Syarifuddin Khalifah is predominantly Catholic. In second place is Anglican Christian, then Jew, new Islam and last Hindu.

Like most residents of Ashura, Sharifuddin Khalifah's parents are also Catholic. His mother was named Domisia Kimaro, while his father was Francis Fudinkira. One day in December 1993, the baby's tears delighted the family. Realizing that the baby is a boy, they are happier again.

Like other Catholics, Domisia and Francis also welcomed their babies with Christian rituals. They were also eager to bring the sweet baby to church to be baptized as soon as possible. Nothing strange as they stepped into the Church. But as they nearly entered the altar of the church, they were startled in a strange voice. It was the voice of their baby. "Mama usinibibaptize, naamini kwa Allah wa jumbe wake Muhammad!" (Mother, please do not baptize me I am a person who believes in Allah and His Apostle Muhammad).

Hearing that, Domisia and Francis trembled. Cold sweat poured. After an eye contact and a little chat, they decided to bring the baby home again. Did not baptize him.

Beginning in March 1994, when he was past two months, the baby always cried when he was about to feed his mother. Domisia felt confused and worried that her baby was undernourished if she did not want to drink milk. However, doctors diagnose that he is healthy. Domisia's concerns are not proven. The baby is healthy without lack of anything. There is no explanation whatsoever why Allah predestined the Khalifah did not want to drink milk from his mother after two months. In the midst of the habit of babies learning to pronounce a syllable like the "Ma" or other, Syarifuddin Khalifah at the age of four months began to issue strange pronunciations.

Some neighbors and families Domisia and Francis were amazed to see the baby talking. His mouth moved slowly and read: "Fatuubuu ilaa baari-ikum faqtuluu anfusakum dzaalikum khairun lakum 'inda baari-ikum, fataaba' alaikum innahuu huwattawwaburrahiim."

Awe-inspiring people raise temporary noise but then silence in silence. Unfortunately, at that time they did not know that what Syarifuddin Khalifah read was QS. al-Baqarah verse 54.

Domisia is worried her son is possessed by a demon. He also took the baby to the priest, but still Syarifuddin Khalifah repeated the verse. Until then the story of a demon-possessed baby was heard by Abu Ayub, one of the Muslims living in the area. When Abu Ayub came, Syarifuddin Khalifa also read the verse. Unable to see the sign of God's greatness, Abu Ayub prostrated gratitude near the baby.

"Francis and Domisia, your son is not demon-possessed. What he read is the verses of the Qur'an. In essence he invites you repent to Allah, "said Abu Ayub.

Some time after that Abu Ayub came again with a mushaf. He showed Francis and Domisia the verses that his infant read. They both need time in the inner struggle for faith. Both of them finally get hidayah. They convert to Islam. After converting to Islam they gave the name to their son as "Sharifuddin Khalifah".

The next miracle comes at the age of 1.5 years. At that time, Syarifuddin Khalifah able to pray and memorize the Koran and Bible. Then at the age of 4-5 years, he mastered five languages. At that age Syarifuddin Khalifah began doing da'wah safari to various parts of Tanzania to abroad.
