i used to live in a big cosmopolitan city in S.E florida. one night, i stopped by a gas station for some cigarettes on the way home (in down town area) . it was about 3-4 am on a saturday night. as i was leaving the small market heading to my car, i was approached by a homeless man. an old black guy with grey curly hair and a long beard. first, i offered him some cigarettes...he refused!. then, i offered some money...refused again!. finally, he said "al salamo alaikom brother", then he called me by my name!!!! then, he walked away...I WAS SHOCKED OFCOURSE. how on earth did he know my name and that am an arab; eventhought i do not look like one what so ever; plus, that city is full of hispanics and europeans. even people from my own country wouldnt think am an arab!!! this little strange incident still does not make any sense to me. maybe coz i dont believe in anything supernatural or anything beyond our own human comprehension. any explanation?
thanks.
