thank you so much welcome i want to hear
from you sister
i want to hear from you i spoke a lot
tell me about your journey to islam
and also the challenges that you may be
facing please
um i knew that i wanted to be a muslim
um actually a couple of months ago i had
a dream
that i was on my knees and i was praying
for forgiveness for allah
and i knew this was completely different
than
what my parents speak of when they speak
about who they think god is
and ever since then i started googling
and researching and looking into it i
knew and i knew for an absolute
certainty that
the peace that would wash over me when i
would read about allah when i would
think about allah when i would think
about reverting
was like nothing i've ever felt before
in my life i would get goosebumps all
over myself i would
i would feel vulnerable in a beautiful
way
and i knew for a certainty that that
this is the one true belief
[Music]
so you just had a dream without anyone
telling you about islam
nobody's telling me no so in the dream
you were just praying to god
you are on the knees for forgiveness
and how did you know that that was about
islam about allah about god
i was in a carpeted room and it did not
look
like any of the churches or anything
like that that i've ever seen before in
my life
how old were you at that time um in my
dream i was a child i wasn't
the eighth like i wasn't my current age
in my dream
i see and you had this dream how long
ago a couple of months ago
oh just two months ago
and then what happened and then when i
woke up i started to
research what it was and then that's
when i saw a picture of someone praying
the same way that i was praying
and the text was all in arabic and it
was talking about islam
so then i started to google you know
what islam is what the five pillars are
what the texts are and just like the
the beliefs of islam and that's when i
knew that that that was what
my dream was about all right so i am
so honored that i'm part of this joyous
blessed occasion of yours
and we will end the call over here
unless you want to say something before
we end
misha thank you so much i appreciate
this this is the greatest day of my life
