Many people ask me how a preacher or priest in Christianity can ever go to Islam, especially considering all the negative things that we hear about Islam and Muslims everyday. I would like to thank everyone for their interest and offer my humble story, God Willing. ....more

Malcolm X

In the years around 1960, the American Negroes became increasingly active in the struggle for civil rights. The liberal, intellectual Afro-American leaders such as Martin Luther King and their supporters, who fought for equality of and integration among black and white, had participated in freedom rides and protest marches to finally abolish segregation. But suddenly, they faced opposition from not one, but two parties advocating racism and segregation: The white racists and the so-called Black Muslims. This radical Negro cult called "Nation of Islam" became in an astonishing short time a nation-wide movement and a threat to the White society, because of its radical principles such as "the white man is the devil" and its enormous popularity.....more

Khadija Watson

Professor, Theologian, Missionary, Pastor, Church Planter, Licensed Ordained Minister, fundamentalist Christian, not a likely candidate for Islam. Yet, 6 years ago, after being raised in the Christian church all my life, (first as a Roman Catholic and then as a Born-Again, Spirit-Filled Christian) and having completed a Standard Ministerial Diploma, Bachelor of Theology and a Master of Divinity, I embraced Islam! What was it that brought about such a radical change? I started to question Christian beliefs while I was studying for my Master's degree.                 .....more

Aminah Assilmi

It all started with a computer glitch. She was a Southern Baptist girl, a radical feminist, and a broadcast journalist. She was a girl with an unusual caliber, who excelled in school, received scholarships, ran her own business, and were competing with professionals and getting awards – all these while she was going to college. Then one day a computer error happened that made her take up a mission as a devout Christian. Eventually, however, it resulted into something opposite and changed her life completely around.     .....more

I found that Islam was different from many religions. It was the only religion that was not named after a person. It simply meant submission to the will of Allah. I began to see Islam and Muslims for who they were not as the media project them to be. I was very persistent and I began asking many questions. Alhumdulillah, the sister I met was very knowledgeable about Islam. She had some knowledge about Christianity but not much. I began to attend the mosque regularly and in January 19th 2003, I converted to Islam.    ....more

Plane Crashes Led Me to Islam /An American Woman Discovers Islam / By Jennifer Fayed

There comes a time in your life when you are compelled to ask "Why am I here and what is my purpose in this life?" These were my thoughts during the summer of 2001. I had been married to my (first) husband for about 3 years. The marriage was going downhill. My husband had no ambitions in life, and with two children barely old enough to take care of themselves, I found out I was pregnant again.....more

Why Former Deacon Emad Al-Mahdi Embraced Islam

To start off, we requested from Emad to briefly narrate his story about how he became a Muslim. He started off by saying: ruly, all praise is due to Allah; we praise Him, we seek aid and guidance from Him, and we seek refuge in Him from the evils of ourselves and from our bad deeds. Whosoever Allah guides shall never be misguided, and whosoever He misguides shall never be guided. I bear witness that there is no deity save Allah, who is unique and has no partner, and I bear witness that Muhammad is His servant and His apostle.....more

Why Islam? By: Dr. Laurence B. Brown.

Let's talk frankly. Almost never do non-Muslims study Islam until they have first exhausted the religions of their exposure. Only after they have grown dissatisfied with the religions familiar to them, meaning Judaism, Christianity and all the fashionable "-isms"—Buddhism, Taoism, Hinduism (and, as my young daughter once added, "tourism")—do they consider Islam.....more
