The story of Dini from More Than Dreams DVD

When Dini from More Than Dreams DVD was twelve years old she lost her dear father and it was devastating for her since she had always been very close to him.

Ramadan arrived and Dini commited to fast and to devote herself to prayer. One day during Ramadan, she asked God for signs during her tahajud prayer. She was filled with faith since she knew God would answer her desires. She declared that she was confused about how she could reach God's approval and cried to the Lord to show her the right was to live her life, the right path to walk. In that moment she made a promise to God that if he showed her His will for her life in an amazing way, Dini would give her heart to Him and follow Him wherever he wanted to take her. Suddenly in More Than Dreams DVD a very bright light appeared in the room and Dini saw a man walking towards her. The man approaching her was wearing white clothing but she couldn't distinguish hiss face clearly. Without seeing him clearly she immediately knew that the figure was Jesus. The figure extended his hand and asked her to follow Him. At that moment Dini felt confused since she was Muslim and she didn't know if she could follow Him. But deep inside she knew that following Him was the right thing to do.
