عدو للإسلام من كندا ... « نصراني حتى النخاع ومتعصب للمسيحية بشدة من عائلة متدينة أباً عن جد وجدته مُدرسة في مدرسة الأحد وأخوه منشد في الكنيسة «« «قال له والده إن الاسلام دين الشيطان، وأن كل ما في قرآن المسلمين "سيف" وكل شئ بالسيف ونشر الدين بالسيف والاستيلاء على العالم With the sword, blood, and violence. « Curiosity pushed him to read the Qur’an. آمنت إيماناً شديداً بالمسيحية وبالله ولكن عقلي رفض القبول بألوهية المسيح وكنت أراه أحد رسل الله العظماء، وأدركت أن ما تعلمناه في الكنيسة ليس صحيحاً، وأعتقدت أنه من الممكن أن يكون الكتاب المقدس قد حُرِف بطريقة ما « ظننت أن القرآن هو الشر وأنه من الشيطان وهذا ما أخبرني به My father, but I read the Qur’an and researched Islam and could not understand (how this evil religion seems so logical). So I confronted my father about what is in Islam and what he told me about it, and he said to me: This religion is evil, stay away from it. This is from Satan. The mosque and I asked all my questions, and my family threatened me that Islam is a strict religious system and of Satan and I cannot stay at home after I converted to Islam. So I looked into the claims and suspicions about Islam and found them all false, despite my complete lack of confidence in Islam at that time. However, I realized that they were false claims, and I began to read in the Qur’an until I read the Almighty’s saying: And their saying: Indeed, We killed the Messiah. Jesus, son of Mary, is the Messenger of God. They did not kill him, nor did they crucify him, but it was made similar to them. Indeed, those who differ concerning it are in doubt about it. They have no opinion regarding it. Knowledge except following suspicion. And they did not kill him with certainty. Here I understood, well, this is what I wanted to hear. This is what I believed in all the time. After this, I returned to the mosque and entered Islam and said the Shahada, convinced that it was the right thing. I did not find any problems. On the contrary, Islam was compatible with everything I believed in. I broke up with my girlfriend and went home and said, “My father, my mother.” I became a Muslim. My father became angry and burned the prayer rug, so I hid the copies of the Qur’an for fear that he would burn them. I visited my older brother at his house, and my grandfather and grandmother were there. He asked me why I became a Muslim and prayed in my workplace. I told him: I had questions and researched Islam and found it to be the truth. He said to me: This is your problem. You ask and you should not have asked. You only read the Bible to be a Christian. I said to him: This is what I did. I read the Bible to become a better Christian! I found the answers to my questions illogical, until I found Islam. He became very angry and started shouting at my grandfather and grandmother. He pointed at them and looked at me and said: Come on, tell them that everything they taught you was incorrect. So I said to my grandfather and grandmother: I am sorry, what you taught me was not correct. You tried to teach me religion, but you went astray in it. My brother shouted at me angrily and expelled me from his house and asked me to leave. My tears began to fall and I began to cry. I took my bag and left the house. I think that the whole situation was wrong. It was worth it and what I did was right. Islam is the right path and I pray that my brother sees the same thing. I chose Islam at the expense of my family because this life is not what we worry about, but rather the afterlife. This life is just a test. Some succeed, some don't, and I want to succeed. For me, the most important thing is to please God. I thank God that I am a Muslim and I want to be a Muslim until the day I die. If you are not a Muslim, this is something you should actually think about. Everyone told me that Islam is evil and it is not. Do not believe anything you read. Learn for yourself, take your time, and look at... All points: This is what I did, and this is what led me to Islam. I believe in Islam one hundred percent and I believe that it is the right thing, and this is because I took my time to search for it.
