Born Muslim? I wasn't, I reverted.
Masha Allah. How long ago?
I would say a couple of years ago,
but I didn't my shahada actually the start this year.
Allaah Akbar! (Allah is the Greatest)
How's your journey been to Islam or your experience after?
But what made you accept Islam
to start with?
Genuinely, I feel like a lot of people's mindsets about a way of life
and you know, being a nice person to people, doing things out or morals, respect,
all of these these all values that come from actually Islam.
So it doesn't make sense to just say the universe is the answer for everything.
There's somebody behind the universe, somebody that's making stuff work.
And I just felt like
studying this mentality made me realize that Islam was the truth.
That's why I felt like,
Subhan-Allaah (Glory be to Allah) Genuinely I believe that.
Was it like a penny drop moment for you?
No, it was like it was gradual because for me,
ok immediately when people came to me with the ideas of Islam and I was thinking
about it, I was already thinking like, okay, this makes sense.
But then eventually I was like, you know what?
Yes, cool knowing about it, but let me really deep dive into it.
That took a minute.
And what was your life like before Islam and after Islam?
Genuinely my life is way more peaceful now.
Yes, it's more peaceful now.
It doesn't mean that there are bad things that don't happen in my life, of course,
but I'm able to deal with it more like my faith is in Allah
It's not in the material things.
And what was you life like before Islam?
It was a bit more messy.
It was messy in the sense of because I
didn't have anything to say, I didn't have ground grounded.
That's the one.
I'm a grounded person.
I can see that as well.
Just generally walking down, he looks like... Maasha'Allaah
And have you founded any sort of obstacles after taking your shahada?
What sort of things do you think? The Western world is
Just not....
I just know this is... I would not say this, I don't like to be a negative person,
but I can really see the end of days is coming, do you know what I'm saying?
So it's like there's just so much distractions in this world that's the thing.
and it's like it's so easy if you want to just follow this way.
Of living, it's so easy to get caught up in this
and then forsake your God, that's the only thing I find
because my faith there its a bit easier to still deal with it.
I can dismiss things, I can notice them as distractions and then.
What about that as a new Muslim?
For some people it's a huge change
and they have to go through a lot of changes within themselves.
With others, it's quite natural and sip into it.
Were there certain things?
Which is thought, this is a tough one and it's hard for me to deal with.
Do you know what it is because of the way before I fully
converted Islam, I was really like changing the way I operate.
So it's like for me, when I did my shahada it was pretty simple, that kind of stuff.
But then it comes down to increasing my knowledge and things like that.
But that's something I can easily do myself.
I can easily do just with Islamic scholars.
Yes, it's difficult, but it's not something that I can't overcome.
Exactly.
If you had a message for, say someone is out there and they're on the cusp
they're considering Islam, I'm looking into I've heard some things about it,
but they have that fear of, okay, I don't know if it's going to work for me,
but my family's going to accept what's your advice?
Because you can maybe have to relate to it.
I would say if you're somebody that you have a strong moral standing,
you're somebody that you care about people you care about, respect,
you care about doing good in the world, as long as you know that's really it.
Because that's why it's there.
It's literally for that purpose.
