Sister, your story, how did you converted to Islam?
Well brother it didn’t happen overnight, somewhere in the back of my head I knew that
my perceptions of all Muslims couldn’t be entirely correct
and I had started going back to Paltalk, just checking it out, not entering any rooms,
I hadn’t been on that social media site for a long time, several years actually
and, was very active there several years before and really nothing caught my attention except
for one room it was called “Muslims and Non-Muslims Lets
Reason Together.”
I didn’t enter that room the first couple of times
I saw it but I kind of kept thinking about ‘lets reason together’ which really sound
fairly peaceful and I thought it would be worth my time to
perhaps get a different opinion of Muslims if I went into that room so the next time
I went on paltalk I did click on that room and enter and I was greeted very cordially
and people that were in the room welcomed me
and brother Abdullah asked me if I would share what my religion was and I did get on the
microphone and say I am a Christian and they still made me feel very welcome and
people chatted with me and talked to me more about who I am
and told little more about who they were, and so the first meeting was very pleasant
and I enjoyed it very much so I made it a point to find out when the
room was open and made it a point to go back and from there on in I began to listen very
carefully when brother Abdullah and you brother Asad would get on the microphone
and teach and I learned a lot about Islam that I just never thought was possible and
I learned a lot about Christianity that I never thought was possible some of
the long held beliefs that I had that I thought I would never give up
and it was something that took several months I was, I remember was about, I had been going
to the room for about six months and the way that I remember that was because
brother Abdullah had a new son at the time I first went in
and he said that his son was four months old and his son was about 10 months old when we
were talking about my converting, so it was a long process there were some things
about Christianity that were very hard for me to give up
and I still find times when I think I am wrong and then I don’t, and then I understand.
But I mean I just understand that something that’s been with me for so many years, it
just kinda keeps coming up once in a while but after just a few months of going there,
maybe two months, maybe six weeks I don’t know,
I bought a copy of the Quran, the ‘Saheeh International’ was what brother Abdullah
recommended and I started to read and at first I was pretty
confused, it certainly doesn’t read like a bible and after the first couple of chapters
I was just thinking that I don’t have any context here, how am I, how am I gonna understand
this and brother Abdullah just urged me to keep
reading, so I did, as I read it began to make more sense to me
and probably after I’ve been reading for couple of months, three months maybe even
less I thought I am reading truth here.
This is the truth and for a long time in my head, I went back and forth with, this is
the truth but how do I reconcile that with my Christian
beliefs and also all along the same time I continued to weekly go into
“Muslims and Non-Muslims Lets Reason Together” room and would hear brother Abdullah talk
and you brother Asad and it just became more convinced and there was one time
when brother Abdullah was talking about the trinity, I know I got on the microphone two
or three times and asked him to stop but after that I started
listening more, when he was talking about the trinity,
and just all of a sudden, it made sense to me, he made sense to me and I said you’ve
opened my eyes and he said “,O ALHAMDULILLAH !”
and of course that was a start, I started having to learn ALHAMDULILLAH and Insha’Allah
and you know it was just great, I started to learn and both of you taught
me and I continued to read the Quran and at some point I said I wanted to become a Muslim
and as I say it, it was a process that took several months at least six months not more
and I just haven’t looked back.
Its, I am absolutely at peace with my decision, I am absolutely joyful with my decision, I’m
I am so happy that I think I found the true path to guidance
and I would like in some way to be able to share
that so the other people can know that Islam is about Peace and following the path to guidance,
following ALLAH’s word and ALLAH’S commands, being ALLAH’s servant on earth and knowing
that ALLAH is ever Near, Oft Merciful, Oft Forgiving.
