These are some strange true-life revert stories, each with a lesson...

i. First guy to comment on an Islamic youtube video, debates with muslims on youtube for pages and pages. Similar to some Nairaland guys. All of a sudden, there was a break... The next time, he was heard from, he had taken his shahada. Why? He said that he read the last sermon of the prophet on mount Arafat. He knew the prophet could not have been a liar. Took his shahada, became muslim.

Don't give up hope on people. The strangest people can become muslim.

ii. Atheist, fond of going to religious (muslim) events to debate with the speakers e.t.c. Once he went to an event where a sheik (can't remember the name now) was speaking, as usual he gets up to address the speaker. The speaker gives him a gem from the Quran that stumped him. He wanted to prove it wrong so he kept researching and researching to prove it wrong. He couldn't. According to him, he literally submitted in the real sense of the word.

Even the most obnoxious people could also see the truth.

iii. Gang member, gets into a fight with his mother... runs to the library because he felt that was the only place the police will not look for him. Picks up any book to read from the shelf, He happened to pick a translated copy of the Quran. In the library, He read the whole of the Quran and according to him : I was not reading it, it was reading me. He took his shahada and became muslim.

Allah guides whom he wills, even the worst of the worst can be guided.

iv. Wall street woman from Japan, walks to a muslim store where a muslim man was playing the recitation of the Quran . She was enchanted by it and asked : what kind of music it was?. Man tells her it was the Quranic recitation. She asked where she can get them. Man directs her to the store, she goes there, picks a copy of the translated Quran. Reads it, takes shahada. She quit wall-street and became the principal of an Islamic school started by Nouman Ali khan.

Allah is the best of planners, Nothing happens accidentally.


v. Another man from wall street, reads up on the Islamic economic system and take shahada. Didn't listen to a long lecture or read the Quran. He said that the Islamic system is too ethical not to be from God. That was all.

Allah has given us the best way to live our lives ethically... Some of us do not even acknowledge the favour.

vi. Christian youth minister, studies the bible in hebrew. Too many questions unanswered by christianity. He lost his faith in christianity , once he went to the mosque, took a copy of the Quran. All the dots were connected for him, all the things he read in the bible finally added up. He took his shahada. He is currently one of the famous proponents of Islam in the US.

Sometimes, all you need is a proper intellectual study to become muslim.


More stories to come, InshaAllah

Vii. Atheist with a Youtube channel bashing religion, becomes shia then after further studies becomes sunni. Now he owns a youtube channel where he speaks against atheism, he has gone for further studies in Islam. One of my favorites. Full 360 degrees shift.

Allah has full control of the hearts, Islam will change you

Viii. Evangelical christian meets a random muslim on the bus and a discussion on religion comes up. The muslim presents a coherent view of Islam to her and it really shook her and got her thinking. Now she is muslim, making youtube videos in which she disproves the myths of christianity using biblical sources and show why Islam is just the logical choice. Very passionate sister.

Muslims should learn to present Islam in a coherent way to non-muslims, you do not know whose life , you will change.

ix. She teaches in a christian sunday school, She converted to Islam but can not come out in the open because of the threats she faces to her life and wellbeing if she does. Her Imam (suhaib webb) gave her a fatwa that she can pray in the bathroom to protect herself. This is allowed by the maliki school in extreme conditions.

We sometimes take for granted the gift of Islam, people are struggling to remain muslim and are making real sacrifices
