Would alarm bells ring if a Jewish convert came to a Masjid with very large "Star of David" emblemmed necklaces/chains on? He converted about 2 months ago as I saw it happening in the Masjid but he still comes with the necklace/chain on. I've seen him get his mobile phone out and record sermons too.
It's probably all very innocent but I used to work with him and he despised of Muslims. He left our place of work about a year ago to join a Jewish research organisation and he is still working there as far as I am aware. (He keeps in touch with one of my colleagues and I asked her about where he worked and about his conversion and she almost fell off her chair).
Allah has given him hidayat and he is probably a stellar Muslim now, but it just made me wonder how someone could go from being so hateful about a faith and it's followers to then want to follow it. I am probably being paranoid but it just seems a bit dodgy that he is still working for the Jewish research organisation/he records all the sermons/comes in with the huge Star of David jewellery on.
I don't talk to him anymore. When he worked with us, he used to victimise all the Muslims. He would start off with friendly conversation which then led to accusations of us "all being terror wrists". He bullied one of the Muslim sisters so much she went off on sick leave. The managers didn't do anything to him because he was the token Jewish employee. He had in his mindset that all Muslims plotted to have the towers in America bombed and that we were all responsible for the deaths. Like I said, I am probably being paranoid and he is a wonderful new Muslim, but it just got me wondering especially with the Star of David necklace and the fact he still works for a Jewish research organisation.
If he has become a Muslim, then his previous sins are forgiven,
Secondly you are obligated to advise him on khair, and forbid him Munkar
Explain to him that wearing symbols of other religions is not permissible,
