#21 Revert Story

I found the peace and happiness in my heart in Islam. On April 4, 2014, I became a Muslim, alhamdulilah.

Since I was a child my mother took me to church. I never liked it in the church. I had bad feelings. I didn’t liked the statues and the pictures there. I never understood why I must to pray to Mary and to pray to those pictures. I hated that. When I was 14 years old, I cried and I pray all the time, asking God, ‘’who are you? Please let me know You.”

When I was 22 years old, I started to learn the bible with Jehovah witnesses. I studied for four years. I could not believe what they taught me. I had more questions than before. I felt lost. I was crying and praying and I thought that I would never find the answers or know the truth about Allah. My heart was empty. I had everything; good job, money, good parents, good husband but I was very unhappy.

I never heard about Islam until I was 23 years old and all I heard was bad. When I was 25 years old, I married my husband, who was a Muslim. He was the best that Allah could give me. Then I came to Amsterdam and we married in the mosque. For the first time, I saw him pray. Every time I saw him praying, my heart beat quickly. I had no rest and I began to read the Quran for myself. Then I had a dream that someone had written on my right hand, “la Illaha illallah” in Arabic. I woke up and wrote what I had seen in my dream. My husband translated it for me and I knew it was from Allah the message.

Last year, I listened to Ahmed Deedat and Yousuf Estes speak about the bible, Jesus, and Christianity. After 1 week, I went to the mosque alone and I asked the imam to help me become Muslim. On Friday, April 4, I became Muslim! I learned also that if I wear the hijab, I will enter paradise. Since May 5, 2014, I have been wearing the hijab. I fast every Ramadan and I pray five times a day. I am very happy.

If I tried for the rest of my life, I cannot thank Allah enough for helping me to find peace in my heart. My parents do not agree, but I still help my them and I have good relationships with everyone. But, if they talk against Islam, I don't listen to them. Now I am learning the Arabic language. I love to pray and to fast and I know why I am on this earth and where I am going.
