Hafsah: My Conversion Story
Well, it all started when I met my ex-husband. He was a Muslim but at the time that I met him, he wasn't practicing Islam (now he does, al-Hamdulillah (praise be to Allah)). We married 3 months after we met. Well, he didn't really tell me anything about Islam, but when we went to go to visit his friends, I talked to the wives and they told me about.. More -
Helena
Growing up in a supposedly Christian, but in fact non-religious family, I never heard the name of God being uttered, I never saw anyone pray and I learned early on that the only reason for doing things was to benefit yourself. We celebrated Christmas, Easter, Mid-summer and All Saints Day and even though I never knew why, I never questioned it. It was.. More -
How they became Muslim women!
Islam is being subjected to a fierce attack from both inside and outside its lands and accusations of terrorism, regression and barbarism are constantly directed to it. Also, the enemies' attacks are mainly directed to the Muslim woman and her Hijab, which indicates her identity and the degree of her commitment to the orders of Allah The Almighty. In.. More -

From Christianity to Islam
Khadija Zafar, Philipines [source] No one could have ever imagined me make such a decision! Even in my wildest dreams, looking back five years, I could not have foresaw this turn of events. Those who knew me uttered in disbelief, "Teresita converted to Islam? What got into her?" My decision devastated my parents and my entire family --.. More -
Maryam Butson's Testimony, Australia
Assalaamualaykum, I was born into a Baha'i family to parents from Anglo-Celtic backgrounds who had converted to the Baha'i Faith in the sixties, and spent my childhood being taught about the different religions of the world through Baha'i-coloured glasses. I owe a debt of gratitude in that my parents brought me up firmly believing that prejudice was.. More -
Miss Fatima Kazue (Japan)
Ever since the Second World War I have been watching with restlessness that our faith in our religion was fast becoming weak. We had begun to accept the American mode of living and I deeply felt as if something was missing. At first I could not understand what it was that was missing. It was the cry of my soul to find an answer to this restlessness. I.. More -
Miss Mas'udah Steinmann (England)
No other religion professed by a large community have I found so comprehensible and encouraging. There seems no better way towards tranquility of mind and contentment in life, no greater promise for the future after death. The human being is part of a whole; man cannot claim more than being just a particle of creation in its magnificent perfection... More -
Monica (Ecuador/USA)
How I became a Muslim Assalamu Aleykum! I was born in a Catholic family in Ecuador. My family was never very religious. I mean, they didn't go to church or things like that, except for my grandma whom I loved very much. However, they sent me to a Catholic high school. There, I learned about the religion and I also learned about the spiritual side.. More -
Mrs. Amina Mosler (Germany)
One day, in the year 1928, my son with tears in his eyes said: `I do not want to remain a Christian any longer; I want to be a Muslim; and you, too, my mother, should join this new faith with me.' That was the first time I felt that I had to link myself with Islam. Years passed before I came in contact with the Imam of the Berlin Mosque, who introduced.. More -
Rehana reverts to Islam
My first realization about the Christian idea of salvation came after I was baptized into a Southern Baptist church at a young age. I was taught in Sunday School that "if you aren't baptized, then you are going to hell". My own baptism had taken place because I wanted to please people. My mom had come into my room one evening and I asked her.. More -
Sofia's Journey to Islam
To those of you who are searching for the truth and to those who have found it and are struggling to stay on the right path. A Never-ending Quest: Although Sofia was a stubborn lady, she knew when to accept a piece of advice - especially she knew who to ask for it. The day Sofia arrived in Turkey she was carrying a small bag in her hands and many.. More -
Experience of a Canadian woman
Many may ask why a young, Canadian-born, Caucasian woman would embrace a religion that not only supposedly oppresses women, but takes all her freedom and independence and treats her as a second class citizen. I reject such accusations and pose to them the following question. "Why is it that so many women who have been born and brought up in the.. More -
A German lady converts to Islam
Title: Shortly after I was born in 1934 it became a "fashion" in Germany to quit membership of the Church—Catholic or Protestant—and become "gottglaubig" which means believing in God but actually signifies rather the contrary. In fact when I was about seven years old, an elder girl told me that there was no God at all.. More
