I have a similar story 🙃 when I converted to Islam. The person prayed for me and I was told that the person prayed to Allah to make me a Muslim. I was soo touched and make me think about Islam deeply. I am a muslin AlhamdulliLlah.
Alhamdulilah now continue your journey in Islam and seek the Ahlulbayt (as) ...... read Dr Muhammad Al Tajini Al Samawi book entitled : Then I Was Guided.
I’m Ukrainian born in evangelical Christian family, converted during this Ramadan. I learn Bible from childhood and I used to notice so many contradictions and gaps in Christianity. Alhamfululah every day I thank to Allah that he chose me to know the truth. I’m 24 y o now, the lack of information about Islam and misconceptions created by politicians really affect our way of understanding reality. As a Christian we see it from so wrong side, read and explore by yourself and pray to God to guide you
Plenty of time ago, I was in a relationship with an Ukrainian girl. I still don't know how we hooked up, but at one point she told me that she hates muslims. I tried to get across that because I really liked her, but I just couldn't, as I am muslim. So that was one oh the reasons that we split up. Salam from "Cernagoria"
Islam means equality, justice, love, mercy, humility and nobility. All the virtues in the world are in Islam. Previous monotheistic religions have completed their missions. The real religion is Islam. Greetings to our true Muslim Brothers who have newly converted to Islam. They are superior to us
It's not only about dua but also actions coming from within us. They both need to go hand in hand. May Allah ease your path of life in this dunya and the hereafter
So so Muslims believe in the genealogy of Adam to Noah in the Torah? WoW!! 👇🏼 this is mind blowing!! New info to me! Genealogy of Genesis 5 Adam definition, = Man (is Seth definition. = Appointed Enosh definition = Mortal Kenan definition = Sorrow Mahalalel definition = The Blessed God Jared definition = Shall come down Enoch definition = Teaching Methuselah definition = his death shall bring Lamech definition. = The despairing Noah definition = comfort and rest Let’s Recap; Man (is)Appointed Mortal Sorrow; (but) The Blessed God Shall come down Teaching His death shall bring The Despairing Comfort, Rest. Their names are telling the gospel of Jesus Christ. From the very beginning. Don’t believe me? Go look at their name definitions yourselves 😊 God bless you! Jesus is God, foretold.
@@rompecabeza1509 I’m sorry I meant Torah, that’s also the Old Testament. Thank you for the correction. So what about those names? Adam to Noah leading to Jesus Christ? For-telling the gospel?
Как трогательно! Мой путь тоже проходил от ненависти к любви. Я родилась в Москве, России. Здесь тоже случались теракты, которые пугали меня и взращивали во мне ненависть к Исламу. Но однажды, совершенно случайно, когда я готовила проект по обществознанию, мне нужно было прочитать несколько книг по моей тематике. И под руки попалась книга, написанная российскими политологами, которые писали о том, что терроризм и Ислам не связаны друг с другом. Я была шокирована и стала дальше изучать этот вопрос с политической стороны. Потом, так сложилось, что я с семьёй поехала в отпуск в Тунис, а затем в Марокко. И там я увидела настоящий Ислам, красоту людей, трепетно соблюдающих свою религию, их доброту, их отношение к старшим и самое главное - их Богобоязненность. Вернувшись в Москву (мне было 14 лет), я прочитала шахаду наедине с собой и с тех пор считаю себя мусульманкой альхамдулиЛлах.
Just a suggestion,i think it's better if u go to a mosque or masjeed to say your shahada again.and i believe people there will guide you more properly. But i believe you can feel a guide right through your heart. I pray for you sister,may His Love touch you more n more in the days to come,insha Allah 🙏🙏🙏
This was amazing to watch. I met John a long time ago when he visited Pakistan and came to give a talk at my school. One of the most humble people I've ever met.

@Rabee Rajput before going to sleep, or better yet, at the time of tahajjud (last third of the night) make a sincere and genuine dua asking Allah to help you to stop whatever you are doing that is distracting you from your prayers and make it easy for you to go and pray on time every single day. If you’re genuine He will make it easy for you.
Ma Shah Allah, my story is similar. I was brought up as a Roman Catholic but always struggled with some of the ideas associated with this faith. I then went through a period of non-belief. Along came 9/11 and aged 37 began looking at these "terrorist" Muslims whose holy book taught such evil. Boy was I shocked! Nothing I read in the Quran or Hadiths suggested any of this extreme behaviour. All I read was a religion of love, peace, acceptance of others and a worship of one. true God. I left studying Islam for a few years but something in the back of my mind kept niggling at me! For some unknown (at the time) reason I purchased a copy of the Quran and started reading it. This changed my life. About 5 years ago I accepted that Allah is the one true God and Mohammed (PBUH) is his messenger and began to live my life as a revert. I live my life as best I can and follow the teachings of the Prophet and read the Quran daily. I have just started reading a version that has English transliteration in an attempt to read it in Arabic! Even though I feel that I am not as good a Muslim as other reverts I see online, in that I cannot speak Arabic or repeat verses from the Quran I persevere in the hope that I will continue to receive guidance and blessings inshallah.

no need to like some and dislike some, as long as we can benefit from thier topics they are sharing, in sha Allah every thing we do is to earn the pleasure of Allah.
Are muslims worshipping the true GOD? Is Allah a true GOD? Aren't Muslims committing the deadly sin of "Shirk" by worshiping the tribal god "Allah" of the polytheistic religion of the Arabs? Before Muhammad got revelations, he was a polythiest, who worshipped Allah (whom they worshipped as the father of Al Lat, Al Uzza and Manat) along with 359 other gods of Arabic pagan tribes. Hajarul Aswad aka The black stone aka the idol of Allah, was set intact into the Kaaba's wall by the prophet in 605 CE, five years before his first revelation. After receiving the revelations, he declared Allah as the sole God. Later he demolished 359 idols around Kaaba except the black stone. Now he lifted this Allah as the true and only God and asked people to worship only this God. Later he connected Allah to the one and only true God of Jews. Jews and Christians completely rejected his ideas, because Muhammad in his life time violated the "Ten Commandments" of YHWH which clearly says that Muhammad was a self made prophet and his god Allah is only the 6th century tribal Arabic pagan deity. (Sahih Bukhari Hadith No. 1632 - Narrated Ibn `Abbas: Allah's Apostle performed Tawaf (of the Ka`ba) ending a camel (at that time the Prophet had foot injury). Whenever he came to the Corner (having the Black Stone) he would point out towards it with a thing in his hand and say, “Allahu-Akbar”.) There it is. The real GOD of islam is pasted on the corner of Kabah - “Hajarul Azwad”, which can absorb the sins of the believers. 1.8 billion muslims are bowing to this black stone 5 times a day. If they face any other direction, their prayer becomes invalid. Muhammad also took 90% of the rituals of pagan religion for “Haj”(clear signs of paganism) . Muslims still don’t wear underwear during Haj(imagine 2 million people w/o undies) and do tawaf 7 times around Kaaba, stoning devils, killing innocent animals (about 1 million) etc. which was like the pagans did 1400 years ago. Even the concept of “jinn” comes from the folk tales of Arabia. Islam is just only a single idol (the Black stone) worshipping religion, a leftover of pagan religion (read Quran - 6:100, 38:5,7, 37:125, 41:9, 53:19-23, 37:158, 23:14, 37:149, 16:57, 43:16).
How nice to hear the brother’s reverting story Subhan Allah. I came across this brother on Hamza’s channel. And there people were asking brother Hamza if he was his brother. Because his beard looks similar to Hamza’s. Jazak Allah khairan for sharing your story brother. May Allah SWT bless you.
We can’t generalize regarding what you said. الله أَعْلَم Aishah رضي الله عنها was born in a Muslim family and always is a Muslimah. She is better than a lot of people. الحَمدُ لله
This brother has such a beautiful way at conveying the message of Islam. Great story and great advice to Muslims and non Muslims. May Allah guide those with sincerity to the truth Ameen.
I think I have some understanding of how MUSLIMS feel when they share their faith. I am trying to learn about things like being a MUSLIM, ISLAM and the QURAN. I came across this podcast and began to ask questions. I was worried that because of my background I would be rejected when I asked questions about ISLAM. I have received several responses from MUSLIMS and all were kind and helpful. I have also had responses from non-MUSLIMS who were rude, arrogant and insulting. Things like “you need to read the Bible because you are going to hell “ and “are you out of your mind?”. However, those kind of comments just made me want to learn more. I’m more interested in pleasing the one true GOD than having to justify my reasons why I’m wanting to learn about ISLAM.
I'm from Sénégal. Just finished watching this beautiful interview MachAllah and I really like this brother. He's intelligent and very coherent. His advices at the end were really on point, very well said.
That points 1-when you took shahada 2-how you had tried to make sure you pray five daily prayers before you sleep are really interested Congratulations bro!
My brother in Islam my heart is touched and softened by the expression you made at the end of the video. May Allah bless protect and guide you through the Parth you are following. Jazak Allah Kairan.
After I have read the Quran, I realized that all what humanity needs is this heavenly law. “The legislation of Quran will spread all over the world, because it agrees with the mind, logic and wisdom.” - Leo Tolstoy
Alhamdulilah now continue your journey in Islam and seek the Ahlulbayt (as) ...... read Dr Muhammad Al Tajini Al Samawi book entitled : Then I Was Guided.
Alhamdulillah, Islam is so beautiful and the way forward. Congratulations brother. This is truly From Darkness to Light: Sooner or later, the whole world will realise that only Islam is a true divine religion
Alhamdulliah! I was very emotional to hear this great man accepted Islam and shocked how beautifully he explained everything....he knows a lot... Mash Allah may Allah bless you...
Masah'allah. I'm so glad to see him. His advice to the Muslim and Non-muslim It's very important. May Allah (SWT) guide him And protect him from all kinds of evil. ❤️
Alhamdulillah..I'd tears watching & listening to brother John story especially how determine he is in practicing Islam and raising his iman so as be able to meet Allah the almighty and meeting the prophets in Jannah...thanks for amazing story brother John, may we all be granted Jannah by Allah in the hereafter...inshaAllah...
I liked it when he says even if you are "Muslim check it out if you're doing it correctly" especially in Salah. This man words make me do research about how to do it right and what is should i reciting when starting salah including fatiha. Even though I'm Muslim since i was born till now.
7:29 wow beautiful heart warming story 🥲, May Allah swt grant that beautiful brother immense barakah and goodness in this life and next, his faith and love next to none ❤❤❤
Ma sha Allah, when Allah guides you He guides you sooooo well. Dead serious some of the people who discover Islam later in life are so well knowledgeable and so eloquent and well versed. Brother your words hit a lot harder than other reverts. Amazing stuff man.
I want to be the best muslim but the test Allah given to me is so difficult to handle, I failed all the times because im alone and nobody help me. But I never quit, I never left Islam.. I want to go to heaven and meet my grandma and grandpa and also my parents
Allah never gives a burden you can't bear brother. Don't look at your test as overburden. And soon inshaAllah when you enter Jannah you'll look back and like wooow that was short and easy test. Some will wish "I wished I had harder test in life". Allah tests those he loves the most with the hardest test, like the prophets and the righteous.
Indeed we will enter jannah by the mercy of Allah......stay strong brother we are not alone Allah is always there with us we just need to call him sincerely from the heart ....may Allah increase your patience and strengthens u infront of ur difficulties and problems Inshallah
I love your prayer. ISA you’ll go to heaven just always remember Praying the five prayers is always the # one Thing to show obedience. So just don’t give up on praying.
And always remember Allah never does anything wrong to anyone,it’s just a test but for your own good. Alhmdulilah Allah is all merciful. The most merciful.

I’m a Muslim since I was born and feel ashamed that I don’t pray religiously 5 times a day. Make a dua’ for me that I can be consistent in my salah.
Me too. I feel ashamed everyday
Come back to Allah sister. May Allah guide you to the righteous. I’ll pray for you sister insallah . Don’t let Iblish ( saitan ) take over you.

I'm a Muslim too and I didn't use to pray but I started recently cuz I felt something was missing in my life and I feel happier noe
If you dont pray, you just do it and everything will be okay.
I like how you call them "Reverts" rather than "converts", because everyone is born a Muslim. Thanks for this incredible videos.
Convert that change of Religious Faith and Revert that stands for ancestral type.
Everyone is NOT born as a Muslim. There is no theological or rational evidence to state this.
So so Muslims believe in the genealogy of Adam to Noah in the Torah? WoW!! 👇🏼 this is mind blowing!! New info to me!
Genealogy of Genesis 5
Adam definition, = Man (is

Enosh definition = Mortal
Kenan definition = Sorrow
Mahalalel definition = The Blessed God
Jared definition = Shall come down
Enoch definition = Teaching
Methuselah definition = his death shall bring
Lamech definition. = The despairing
Noah definition = comfort and rest
Let’s Recap; Man (is)Appointed Mortal Sorrow; (but) The Blessed God Shall come down Teaching His death shall bring The Despairing Comfort, Rest.
Their names are telling the gospel of Jesus Christ. From the very beginning. Don’t believe me? Go look at their name definitions yourselves 😊 God bless you! Jesus is God, foretold.

Are muslims worshipping the true GOD? Is Allah a true GOD? Aren't Muslims committing the deadly sin of "Shirk" by worshiping the tribal god "Allah" of the polytheistic religion of the Arabs? Before Muhammad got revelations, he was a polythiest, who worshipped Allah (whom they worshipped as the father of Al Lat, Al Uzza and Manat) along with 359 other gods of Arabic pagan tribes. Hajarul Aswad aka The black stone aka the idol of Allah, was set intact into the Kaaba's wall by the prophet in 605 CE, five years before his first revelation.
After receiving the revelations, he declared Allah as the sole God. Later he demolished 359 idols around Kaaba except the black stone. Now he lifted this Allah as the true and only God and asked people to worship only this God. Later he connected Allah to the one and only true God of Jews. Jews and Christians completely rejected his ideas, because Muhammad in his life time violated the "Ten Commandments" of YHWH which clearly says that Muhammad was a self made prophet and his god Allah is only the 6th century tribal Arabic pagan deity.
(Sahih Bukhari Hadith No. 1632 - Narrated Ibn `Abbas: Allah's Apostle performed Tawaf (of the Ka`ba) ending a camel (at that time the Prophet had foot injury). Whenever he came to the Corner (having the Black Stone) he would point out towards it with a thing in his hand and say, “Allahu-Akbar”.) There it is.
The real GOD of islam is pasted on the corner of Kabah - “Hajarul Azwad”, which can absorb the sins of the believers. 1.8 billion muslims are bowing to this black stone 5 times a day. If they face any other direction, their prayer becomes invalid.
Muhammad also took 90% of the rituals of pagan religion for “Haj”(clear signs of paganism) . Muslims still don’t wear underwear during Haj(imagine 2 million people w/o undies) and do tawaf 7 times around Kaaba, stoning devils, killing innocent animals (about 1 million) etc. which was like the pagans did 1400 years ago. Even the concept of “jinn” comes from the folk tales of Arabia. Islam is just only a single idol (the Black stone) worshipping religion, a leftover of pagan religion (read Quran - 6:100, 38:5,7, 37:125, 41:9, 53:19-23, 37:158, 23:14, 37:149, 16:57, 43:16).
MashaAllah may Allah bless you brother I’m Muslim from Somalia
Why in Somalia, Muslims are fighting between themselves bro? You know, Islam is peace...but still it happens...
Yetnez. You need to be a good sunnet. The al-Sabbab orgutu founded by the Salafists and Wahhabis is cruel. Oblivion.
I'm verry glad that's your experience in my beloved Senegal helps you to be Muslim....Mashalah
Wow. This man speaks so fluently and smoothly and in a way that i love listening to him for hours and hours.
Great video! Thanks
How nice to hear the brother’s reverting story Subhan Allah. I came across this brother on Hamza’s channel. And there people were asking brother Hamza if he was his brother. Because his beard looks similar to Hamza’s.
Jazak Allah khairan for sharing your story brother. May Allah SWT bless you.
Reverts r better than most Muslims SUBHANALLAH brother ur video was really inspirational😊
We can’t generalize regarding what you said.
الله أَعْلَم
Aishah رضي الله عنها was born in a Muslim family and always is a Muslimah. She is better than a lot of people.
الحَمدُ لله
I understand what your saying ....
may Allah SWT guide us all
This brother has such a beautiful way at conveying the message of Islam. Great story and great advice to Muslims and non Muslims. May Allah guide those with sincerity to the truth Ameen.
Amazing story. I started crying. Subaxana allah. He is honest this man says he didn't like muslim first.
Brother come to Malaysia Muslim Country, you can stay here and live happily. So many foreigners retired here.
I think I have some understanding of how MUSLIMS feel when they share their faith. I am trying to learn about things like being a MUSLIM, ISLAM and the QURAN. I came across this podcast and began to ask questions. I was worried that because of my background I would be rejected when I asked questions about ISLAM. I have received several responses from MUSLIMS and all were kind and helpful. I have also had responses from non-MUSLIMS
who were rude, arrogant and insulting. Things like “you need to read the Bible because you are going to hell “ and “are you out of your mind?”. However, those kind of comments just made me want to learn more. I’m more interested in pleasing the one true GOD than having to justify my reasons why I’m wanting to learn about ISLAM.
May Allah guide you and me to the path of a righteous one's and forgive our sins.
May the Almighty lead you to your true path. If you want to learn about Islam then you should get a Quran and start reading it.
May you find peace and eternal contentment on the path to Allah. Ameen
I'm from Sénégal.
Just finished watching this beautiful interview MachAllah and I really like this brother. He's intelligent and very coherent. His advices at the end were really on point, very well said.

Congratulations bro!

His last few words with advises / encouragements increased my imaan.

Oh I’m from senegal 🇸🇳 machallah brother
I want to be the best muslim but the test Allah given to me is so difficult to handle, I failed all the times because im alone and nobody help me.
But I never quit, I never left Islam.. I want to go to heaven and meet my grandma and grandpa and also my parents
Allah never gives a burden you can't bear brother. Don't look at your test as overburden. And soon inshaAllah when you enter Jannah you'll look back and like wooow that was short and easy test. Some will wish "I wished I had harder test in life". Allah tests those he loves the most with the hardest test, like the prophets and the righteous.
Indeed we will enter jannah by the mercy of Allah......stay strong brother we are not alone Allah is always there with us we just need to call him sincerely from the heart ....may Allah increase your patience and strengthens u infront of ur difficulties and problems Inshallah
I love your prayer.
ISA you’ll go to heaven just always remember
Praying the five prayers is always the # one
Thing to show obedience. So just don’t give up on praying.
And always remember Allah never does anything wrong to anyone,it’s just a test but for your own good.
Alhmdulilah Allah is all merciful.
The most merciful.
Revelation 5 9 You are worthy to take the scroll
and to open its seals,
because you were slain(Jesus),
and with your blood you purchased for God
persons from every tribe and language and people and nation.
10 You have made them to be a kingdom and priests to serve our God,
and they will reign on the earth.
(I pray now dear brothers that the Lord Father will reveal his son who came to earth in the flesh as a division of the Father's spirit will reveal himself to you brethren , it is time that you know that Jesus made you priests through him on behalf of the Lord Father and that you can be baptized and saved cast out demons and do miracles and heal in his name.
every single one of your convert's interviews made me cry, Allah guides whoever He wants, el hamdulilah 'ala ni'matu al islam 🥰
Masha Allah and jazak Allah khair dear 🙏 ❤️
