go. And I'm happy to say right now
today, alhamdulillah,
I'm Muslim. I'm proud to be a Muslim. I
really don't care how society sees me.
You know, it's all about my beliefs and
what I believe and that's who I am and
wasn't.
I mean, really, why fear God if you know
100% you're going to heaven? In
Christianity, you know, you don't really
need to fear God.
So,
I guess no wonder that they did the
things that they did. And now Islam has
changed me so much. Like, I'm like
nothing like I was before. Now I'm
physically and mentally healthier and
like I'm just I'm just so thankful for
everything. So thankful that Allah
subhana wa tala showed me the light and
showed me the true way of life and it's
just an absolutely amazing feeling like
it's the best thing I could have done in
my entire life.
Stand here so unafraid of everything
around me. Proudly I would say
I am a Muslim.
[Music]
if you ask her.
To all the Muslims and peace be upon you
to all the non-Muslims. Um I want to try
if I can to give a kind of a brief
overview of why I chose to convert to
Islam. It's a little bit hard for me
because it's a really long story.
[Applause]
[Music]
I was born a Palestinian Christian,
raised, you know, was baptized in
Palestine. Naz to be specific.
And you say your life is charity. It
ain't hard to see.
I am a Muslim.
if you ask him why does it hurt so
uh basically I just wanted to tell you
about my my conversion the whole story
so let me start with the basics uh as I
said I live with my parents it's a
protestant a Christian Protestant family
but we never really been religious and I
have been an atheist as long as I can
remember I mean before I converted to
Islam Daddy ain't a real human
if you ask her. Why doesn't she cry?
There's no one by that side. She's the
only one that's left behind. Patient
I'm here today to talk to you about the
reason I became Muslim. The reason I
decided to bear witness that there's no
God but God, Allah, and that Muhammad is
the last messenger of Allah, peace be
upon him. smiling. He would say
I am a Muslim.
Salom, my new brothers and sisters. I
just wanted to make a short video to
tell everybody that you officially have
a new sister. Um, I said or gave my
shahada last night.
[Music]
do.
I was raised a Christian and my dad is
actually a minister and we attended
church every Sunday when I was young and
I always had like a strong sense of
moral values.
[Music]
[Laughter]
[Music]
It has come to my attention that many
Muslim accounts are getting suspended
unfairly because their users are showing
video footage showing the condition of
our brothers and sisters in Palestine in
order to show a fair and balanced view
of the news. Videos like the one you are
currently seeing a link to on the
screen.
[Music]
I raised to Islam not too long ago on
August 9th and it's the best decision
that I've ever made. I've had some
struggles with it because I am raised by
two conservative Christian ministers and
they totally totally
flipped out when I told them about
reverting.
[Music]
Oh,
hello. In this video, I'd like to share
with you how I came to the Lord, my
conversion story. My background was a
Christian background. I was raised a
Roman Catholic Christian. I went to
church on a weekly basis.
[Music]
that if someone is lying to you in the
first couple minutes or couple pages of
his book or video or audio, then the
person's a liar and therefore why should
you want to even continue the video? And
at around these points is when I almost
pushed the pause button. But I wanted to
hear his whole video and found out that
I had wasted my time.
[Music]
So basically I went to the imam and I
told him that
I have read the Bible cover to cover and
I've read the Quran cover to cover and I
want to be a Muslim. And so then I took
my shahada.
for Muhammad.
Peace.
Alhamdulillah.
[Music]
Alhamdulillah.
[Music]
Alhamdulillah.
[Music]
Alhamdulillah.
I will be
