My grandfather was an episcopal priest, from my earliest memories I always felt close to God. I discovered Islam at 42, and took my shahada at 43. I told my mother that I didn’t change my beliefs, it felt like coming home to what was always in my heart. May videos like this, and others, help people to learn the truth about Islam, and enable us to all live in peace!

Im a revert from Sweden, took my shahada on the 8:th of January this year. Thank you John for sharing this. Some ninjas are cutting onions next to my desk.... May Allah bless you.

Every time I see the revert story, I feel like I am taking my religion for granted because I am not even close to them who become reverted. I was born in a Muslim family. I just know things, but these people put a lot of effort get there

Top lad. Takes an immense amount of intelligence, self awareness and courage to undo those mental shackles.

Typical Geezer, Dad was Hammers fan, looked up to the Kray Twins and eastenders. Alhamduillah Allah can guide any one. What a powerful story.

This brings me to tears 😢!!! “Whoever Allah guides, none can mislead, and whoever He leaves astray, none can guide such one”.

I'm not religious. But respect that you opened your mind and saw the hypocrisy and fake empathy of the far-right. Welcome back to the community of good people.

Im a english woman who also reverted many yrz ago, i spent time actually living with a pakistani lady & Mashallah she was like a mother to me. Incredible individual. ❤
You need to find yourself a really good friend who can then introduce you to the community and then a wife who will make lots of 'biryani'
P.s Pakistani food issss the best! Pakistan Zindabaaaad lol. 🎉

This conversion story is so much full of Hikmah and needed by the ummah.

The Muslims community in Britain can learn so much from this story.

Dawah was given by kindness and also being a British Muslim, teaching the kids about the Muslims Jesus during Christmas.

We need to stop being desi and just be more Muslims of Britain.

Like the brother said the doors of mosques should be open community centres.

Imagine the reward the wife of that brother who got up early at Fajr time started this brother’s journey.
