It is sort of like the last remaining kid in the class who believes in Santa Claus.

Except there are so few “last remaining”, because the majority still believes.

We parted, and he promised me that if islam was for me, allah would send me a sign in the next 24 hours.

Ah, so he didn’t know Allah as well as he thought.

In fact you couldn’t have chosen a more boring uneventful two days in my life at that time.

Wait, you don’t think that’s a sign!? 🙂

For anyone unhappy enough or desperate enough they could read a pattern or sign into almost anything.

Or energized or manic enough, etc. We humans are over-endowed with abilities to find patterns. It helped us survive. Then add cultural evolution of language and persistently imposed social pressures onto that, and MOST of us still go bananas on beliefs like God.
