My reversion story… I came to know Islam via my husband MustafaMc. In the summer of 2001, he began practicing Islam again so, I watched him pray many of his 5 daily prayers, saw him go through fasting etc. At the time of course I still considered myself to be a Christian. We would discuss Islam and the differences & similarities of the two religions. The more we talked about it, the Islamic faith began to make much more sense to me than the Christian faith that I grew up in. As I began to read as well as continue to discuss things with my husband, I knew in my heart that my beliefs were actually the Islamic faith, not Christianity. Especially the One God that has no partners concept. I realized I saw Jesus as teacher and messenger and it began to make less sense to me that God would have a son. I also had come to believe that Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) to be the last Messenger of God. As time went by, my faith began to grow more and more and I knew I was on the right path, the path to embracing Islam. In July 2003 in a small Masjid in rural Mississipppi, I took Shahadah, Alhamdullilah! Salam, Sister Barb |
