Assalimu Alaikum Forum. I wanted to start a post on stories on how you or family members became Muslim. Please share your experience with us as it may be encouragement to others, Insha Allah.
Here is some of my story below.


If you ever wonder what's it's like, ask me and I can tell you. I was born christian and studied the Gospel all my life. I became a licensed minister to teach "The word of God" (so i thought). but i always knew something just wasnt right. I couldn't quite put a hand on it but i knew in my heart there were many unanswered questions that nobody being a leader could answer. I met my husband online who was born and raised Muslim. He never pushed me to his belief or questioned or judged my thinking. I became very interested in the Quran because i always wanted knowledge no matter where i can get it. The first surah i read was Iqra "recite in the name of your Lord". My face filled with tears and my heart pounded. for the first time i felt like i was being pulled by the Truth. I took Shahadah on that day, which was 2 yr after my marriage. Alhamdu Lillah! My family (parents) didnt understand or want to except it because here i was their big time daughter the minister who everyone sought for understanding. I was turned away by many. I didnt mention things with them a lot. They just knew i changed and hoildays were not the same anymore. Any time i would mention my belief they would change the subject or the would say who is this man the prophet? I even went as far a giving my father the Quran to read for himself. He a deacon of that same chruch i mentioned. I have been praying for 2 years that Allah would open their hearts to understanding. but nothing. My mom had her 1st heartattach in may 07. I thought Allah is it time yet? (No) She had the 2nd April 08, is it time? (No)... One day she was very ill and could hardly speak without loosing her breath. My husband, daughter and son was with her at the time. My husband said to me "Recite". I began to say to her "Laila ha Illallah Muhammadan Rasulillah(S.a.w). I said it twice, she looked at me and said what are you saying, I told her that I was praying in arabic, which she has heard me say before, but would shun away. She opened her mouth and spoke "Laila ha Illallah Muhammadan Rasulillah (S.a.w.) Twice. By that time me my husdand and daughter was so full of tears and thanking Allah for his mercy. SHE TOOK SHAHADAH. She passed away 1 month later on July 19th 08, It just goes to show us Ummah that Allah is GREAT!

I was born in Islam.. BUT I was away from Allah tell I had some family problems that made me feel lonely so I went back looking for Allah and I found Him, as Allah is so close to you if you are looking for Him. So the day I looked for Allah and find Him was when I was 13. Feeling alone and upset was always pushing me to complain to Allah and find Him. He supported me a lot and guided me and removed my pain.

Stories- How I became Muslim Imagess_0
Jeddah, March 30:An
English language Canadian professor at King Abdulaziz University in
Jeddah has embraced Islam at the headquarters of the World Assembly of
Muslim Youth (WAMY) in Jeddah where he pronounced the Shahadas before
Sheikh Abdulilah Al-Ajlan, Assistant Director of WAMY for Da’wa
Programs.

Prof. Woelke, who changed his name to Dawood, said he was fully
convinced to embrace Islam especially after he studied the Holy Qur’an
and many books about Islam.

He said he used to visit the church in his country regularly and
notice that the comparison which is usually made between Christianity
and Islam concentrates on the existence of great differences between
them.
He said this made him decide to study Islam from the cultural
perspective so that I can find the truth about this religion. After
several years of in-depth study he decided to embrace Islam.

He said: “When I came to the Kingdom I noticed that there was a great
difference between Islam distorted by the West and the real Islam. So I
decided to dig further about this religion. When I studied more about
Islam, Almighty Allah guided me to correct path. Consequently, I decided
to embrace Islam.

Stories- How I became Muslim GeorgeGalloway_0
London, April 26:GEORGE GALLOWAY,S CONVERSION TO ISLAM.
In
this week’s magazine, from an interview between Jemima Khan and George
Galloway, the New Statesman exclusively reveals the background to
Galloway’s conversion to Islam:

George Galloway, MP for Bradford West, is a Muslim. He converted more
than ten years ago in a ceremony at a hotel in Kilburn, north-west
London, attended by members of the Muslim Association of Great Britain.
Those close to him know this. The rest of the world, including his
Muslim constituents, does not.

Over a halal, alcohol-free lunch at a cafe on Bradford’s main high
street, Khan tells Galloway: “I know someone who attended your shahadah
[the Muslim conversion ceremony].”

He stares at me across the table, penetrating blue eyes squinted,
pausing for the first time in an hour. His special adviser, a glossy
haired Asian Pakistani called Ayesha, looks into her daal while his new
bride, Gayatri Pertiwi – a Dutch-born Muslim of Indonesian descent 30
years his junior, seated beside him throughout the interview – smiles at
me.

George and Gayatri performed the nikah, the Muslim marriage ceremony,
four weeks ago at the Royal Theatre in Amsterdam, the day after his
sensational and unexpected victory in Bradford. This means, presumably,
that they are unmarried under British law. Galloway has had two previous
Muslim marriages (and this marriage to Gayatri is his fourth marriage
in total). However, a Muslim woman is not permitted to marry a
non-Muslim man under Islamic law – although the other way round is
allowed.

Khan and Galloway were scheduled to meet at the local mosque for juma
(Friday) prayers, “where Galloway usually meet the community each week,
but the plan was cancelled when it transpired that I was coming with a
photographer”. Although Galloway denies it was only the Muslim vote that
won him the Bradford seat, Khan writes:

Galloway may have successfully out-Muslimed Labour’s Muslim
British-Pakistani candidate, Imran Hussain, during the election
campaign, with his speeches full of “inshallahs”, his invocations of the
Quran – “the people who invaded and destroyed Iraq . . . will burn in
the hell-fires of Hell” – and his smattering of Arabic words: “We stand
for justice and haq [truth].” Pamphlets were distributed declaring: “God
knows who is a Muslim and he knows who is not. Instinctively, so do you
. . . I, George Galloway, do not drink alcohol and never have.”
(Galloway has denied he was responsible for these.)

In the media, Galloway is often referred to as a Catholic. However,
as Khan finds, the Muslim constituents of Bradford knew otherwise:

There must have been some white constituents in Bradford, who,
although natural Labour supporters, preferred to vote for the white
Catholic candidate rather than the brown Muslim one representing Labour.
Meanwhile, his Muslim constituents delighted in the hints – “a Muslim
is somebody who is not afraid of earthly power but who fears only the
Judgement Day. I’m ready for that, I’m working for that and it’s the
only thing I fear.” Many favoured a possible or a potential Muslim over a
“lapsed” one, such as Labour’s Hussain, who, Galloway claimed in his
campaign, was “never out of the pub”.

.
