Pano tikupereka mgwirizano wa mmodzi mwa anthu, THOMAS MUHAMMAD CLAYTON (American), amene adasankha Chisilamu:
Nthawi inali pafupi masana. Titathedwa nzeru ndi kutentha kwa masana, tinali kuyenda mumsewu wafumbi, pamene, chapatali, mawu amphamvu kwambiri anayamba kutisisita makutu athu. Liwu lolemera kwambiri linali kuti danga lonse linkawoneka kuti lakhuta nalo. Titadutsa pagulu la mitengo, tinaona zinthu zodabwitsa. Zinali zochitika kotero kuti sitinakhulupirire zomwe tinawona. Atakwera pansanja yaing’ono yamatabwa, Marabu wina wachikulire atavala mwinjiro wautali waukhondo kwambiri ndipo atavala nduwira yoyera anali kuchita (kuitana) azân (kapena adhân). Pamene anali kuchita azân, anali m’chiziŵitso, pafupifupi wolekanitsidwa kotheratu ndi dziko, ndi pamaso pa Mlengi wake, Mwiniwake. Monga ngati kuti tagonekedwa ndi zinthu zabwinozi, tinaima, kenaka, pang’onopang’ono, tinakhala pansi. Sitinadziŵe tanthauzo la mawu ofika m’makutu mwathu, komabe zinatisonkhezera mwanjira ina ndi kutikhazika mtima wachimwemwe, mpumulo m’miyoyo yathu. Pambuyo pake, tidaphunzira kuti mawu okoma omwe adanenedwa ndi Arabu amatanthauza kuti, “Allâhu ta'âlâ ndi wamkulu. Palibe wopembedzedwa mwachoonadi koma Allâhu ta'âlâ. Mwadzidzidzi, anthu ambiri anatulukira pafupi nafe. Komabe, panali patatsala nthawi yochepa kuti tionepo aliyense. Sitinkadziwa kumene anthuwa ankachokera, ndipo nkhope zawo zinkasonyeza ulemu waukulu ndi chikondi. Pakati pawo panali anthu amisinkhu yosiyanasiyana. Anali osiyana m’zovala zawo, m’mayendedwe awo, ndi m’maonekedwe awo. Komabe onsewo anali ndi chisonyezero chofanana cha khama, ulemu waukulu ndiponso, panthaŵi imodzimodziyo, kuchenjera pa nkhope zawo. Chiwerengero cha obwera chinawonjezeka mosalekeza, kotero kuti tinamva ngati kuti kuwonjezereka kwawo sikudzatha. Pamapeto pake obwerawo anasonkhana. Onse anavula nsapato ndi malaya awo n’kuima m’mizere. Chodabwitsa kwambiri, palibe tsankho lamtundu uliwonse lomwe linawonedwa m’kupangidwa kwa mizere. Azungu, anthu achikasu, anthu akuda, olemera, osauka, amalonda, ogwira ntchito m’boma, ogwira ntchito m’boma anaima mbali imodzi popanda kusankhana mitundu kapena maudindo, ndipo ankalambira limodzi.
Ndinasilira abale ambiri a anthu osiyanasiyana akubwera palimodzi. Patha zaka zitatu tsopano kuchokera pamene ndinawona chochitika chapamwambachi kwa nthawi yoyamba. Panthaŵiyi, ndinayamba kusonkhanitsa chidziŵitso chonena za chipembedzo chokwezeka chimenecho chimene chinagwirizanitsa anthu pamodzi. Zimene ndinapeza zokhudza Chisilamu zinandichititsa kuti ndiyambe kuyandikira kwambiri chipembedzochi. Asilamu ankakhulupirira mwa Allah mmodzi ndipo ankati anthu sanali ochimwa pobadwa, zomwe zinali zosiyana kwambiri ndi zimene Akhristu ankaphunzitsa. Iwo ankangowaona ngati akapolo obadwa a Allâhu ta'âlâ, amawachitira chifundo chachikulu, ndipo ankawafunira kuti atsatire njira yowongoka ndi kukhala ndi moyo wabwino, wamtendere ndi wosangalala. Pamene mu Chikhristu ngakhale maganizo oipa amatengedwa ngati tchimo, Asilamu amatanthauzira tchimo chifukwa cha kusamvera Allâhu ta'âlâ kapena kuphwanya ufulu wa akapolo obadwa, ndikuvomereza kuti munthu ali womasuka pamalingaliro ake. Malinga ndi chipembedzo cha Chisilamu, munthu anali ndi udindo “kokha pa zimene wachita.”
Pazifukwa zomwe ndatchula pamwambapa, ndinavomera Chisilamu mofunitsitsa. Ngakhale padutsa zaka zitatu kuchokera pamenepo, nthawi zina ndimalota za mawu ogwira mtima a Arab muazzin komanso anthu osiyanasiyana akuthamanga kuchokera mbali zonse ndikuyima mizere. N’zosakayikitsa kuti anthu amenewa, amene akugwadira pamodzi ndi mopanda tsankho, akuchita zimenezi moona mtima kuti apembedze Allâhu ta’âlâ.
