A Muslim Convert Once Before

بِسۡمِ ٱللهِ ٱلرَّحۡمَـٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ   Shaykh Muhammad ibn Dawud ( r.a. ), an Andalusian Muslim who had to hide his faith in the 1500s in Christian Spain, wrote:   “We are forced to worship with them in their Christian rites unclean, To adore their painted idols, mockery of the Great Unseen. No one dares to make remonstrance, no one dares to speak a word, Who can tell the anguish wrote upon us, the Faithful of the Lord?”
