Salaam alykum wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakatuh!
Hello everyone My name is Isa. I was born with the name Henry, but upon conversion I added Isa to my name (not legally, but I will asap Insha'Allah!). I am from California in the U.S.A. My hobbies include learning about Islam, animals, science (Astronomy, Biology, Physics), and writing (not stories. But little papers on information. Usually about Islam)
I am Aztec and Mexican. Aztec's are the Native Americans of Central Mexico (although our legends say we originally came from what is today Arizona), and Mexican is not really a race but a culture. Most Mexicans are Mestizo, both Native American and some sort of European (usually Spanish). I identify with both of these because although I am Mestizo, I was raised with Aztecah culture XD
I converted to Islam in the Ramadhan of 2009. I was studying about many religions (it is my major) and I had no plans of conversion at all. I simply wanted to learn more about religions around the world. Islam really surprised me, it was nothing like I thought it was. I knew that the media probably lied about Islam (as they lie about a LOT of things), so I knew it was not that bad. After reading several books I saw the beauty of Islam. It was really wonderful, and most of my beliefs were already in line with Islam. I really loved it, and when I met Muslims they were amazing people I began to read an English translation of the Holy Qur'an, and it was amazing. So unlike anything I ever read.
Well that is it in a nut shell. I hope I am welcomed here XD
