Heart Touching TikTok Muslim Convert Stories

so I mostly want to make this video for me to say that today May 5th 2020 marks one year since I took my Shahada which means I've been a Muslim now for a whole year my life has revolved around getting closer to God this last year and then hamdullah it's made a huge difference and how I see life and now I feel about everybody and it makes me really emotional to talk about because I couldn't imagine my life without this type of perspective and I just feel so grateful for everybody that I met and just not feeling like I'll ever be alone because I have this relationship with God now if you know me you know I don't like to cry so a lot of you are asking for my story on why I converted to Islam please and no negative comments and if you have nothing nice to say don't say it at all and please be respectful neither of my parents really taught me right from wrong they both struggled with addiction issues and my grandma raised me for the early beginning of my life she celebrates Christmas and that's pretty much all I really knew about religion until I turned 14 my sister took me to a church and it was a terrible experience every question I had wasn't really answered and if I had a question that you were really kind of supposed to know that answer to people just stared at me and I'm running out of time so like for part two my convert story part two so after my experience with the Christian Church I pretty much lost all faith in all curiosity God and religion I kind of assumed that they were all the same and straight off and did whatever I wanted whenever I wanted I was living a life of sin and I had no idea why terrible things kept happening to me over and over I you know I didn't connect the two and I would even just little things like running into stuff dropping stuff all the time I also battled with depression and suicidal thoughts um most of my life and this next part is gonna be really hard for me to share so you know please be supportive and like for part three my Condors story part so a year ago actually yesterday I went through something very hard and it was too much for me to handle so I just decided to try and take my life oh I took enough pills to kill her and no one could tell me why I had survived it while I was in the hospital I found an English cut on and picking that book up was the best decision of my life just by everything I had heard about Islam and the way my family talked about it I still wanted to know more after that I became more modest I became more humble I became about better mother bad things stop happening and I'm running out of time again my converse story part 4 so after I got out of the hospital I focused a lot of my time learning about Islam I just wanted to know more and to this date there is nothing that I found that I disagree with or don't like another thing that I felt was that I was not alone I could feel God with me and this gave me conscience I knew what I did and and put out into the world mattered and that it would come back to me uh-hum de la April 23rd 2020 I performed my Shahada and became a proud Muslim and it felt like a thousand pounds had been lifted off of my shoulders I did lose family I did lose friends I have even lost clients and would I change my decision for that never I am so proud of my decision and if they can't accept me for who I am [Music] [Music] [Music] type story time just an FOI most of the videos I take are one take how did I become the [ __ ] Waldo's yeah I live in a small town my family's Catholic I grew up in a Catholic school was the town all white people then I moved to a bigger city and saw that spice black Arab Indian and of course Asia first Muslim they were Sudan II and their family treated like me like family allows my first introduction they were culturally Muslim but I learned a lot from their brothers so I always had a faith in God eventually though lowly but surely I was starting to realize that this is the truth like it didn't stop at Jesus peace be upon him and the continuation kept on going with the last and final revelation with Mohamed Salah who are they he was in them so I had to make a decision either accept the truth and be hated amongst my peers and friends and family or live a life of sin Haram and lie most importantly to myself but to coming are you our story time Babu yes I want to clarify [ __ ] it's cool every man must choose his own path so we left off my friend was Sudanese and his family was the first that introduced me to his left it took me a long time I did a lot of research a lot of soul-searching and personally it felt that I was being disingenuous with myself had I continued to be Catholic and it was all in stages like initially I stopped doing the sign of the Cross and started just praying to God it's not believing that Jesus was son of God or the Immaculate and I wouldn't eat pork as much but still at that time I was smoking every single day Ashish and I was drinking every weekend and I was still a little kid but I knew deep down eventually I had to give this all up if I were to do it all over again I probably would have became Muslim earlier that I could work on myself earlier people get twisted they think you make less mistakes I've probably sinned more within this lad than before Mar 3 coming my short story test lamb part 3 so the last time we left already came to conclusion that it was the truth however my desires and my lifestyle was preventing me on becoming Muslim my family moved out west Canada and I to go with that actually didn't have a choice and there throughout the whole trip I didn't do any drug no weed no drinking not even smoking well maybe I had like a bogey here or two eventually when we landed it was in a small hick ass town where people were amazed that I could speak English fluently I was really upset because a city boy I didn't like the small hick ass town everybody was not even small-minded eventually though I hit rock bottom I missed my friends I got back into smoking weed and drinking and I was just super unhappy my parents got to the point they were like we give up on you we don't care what you do just do whatever you want yeah I would have preferred them beating the [ __ ] out of me that emotion destroying me but yeah I remember I sincerely made dua than night and I think that was the first time I cried Lata for coming my short story to Islam part four so we left off at me hitting rock bottom getting back into drugs then making sincere prayer one night and I was crying and literally I just prayed for guidance I prayed for just real change in my life the morning of I woke up early I felt some form of relief weight off my shoulders as if my toboe was accepted repentance I didn't feel good but I felt content with myself I had a trip booked back out east I came back just to visit I was coughing like crazy when I got off the airplane and hit the downtown because of the pollution but it smelled like home later on I connected with my friends my old friend which some of them turned out to be practicing and then I went to the Masjid the mosque and that's where I took my Shahada from there I gained a lot of knowledge learned as much as I could I grabbed so many materials and within like a less than a month's time I learned how to pray then I had to fly back par-5 come in my shorts toward Islam about a five we last left off where I told my parents I took a trip back to my original City where I took my Shahada there a lot of people asked me though how did your parents react and surprisingly they were okay with it I heard of many horror story and kicked out disowned from the family force feeding them tea pork so I was a little bit reluctant on telling them but I was like you know I don't keep this a secret and I told right away I have no idea why I said this to my dad but he was like tell me okay what is Islam and I said it was like you know same thing you believe in one God but you know there's no drinking no smoking and you can have more than one wife and I swear to god his reaction was no drinking no smoking more than one wife I like this little Asian it worked for me because I turned my life around completely I went from a disobedient piece of [ __ ] to obedient son or loving son but for my parents they don't care about religion they care more about money education doctor lawyer accountant like most parents one photo a short story test part five-and-a-half you last left thought my parents reaction surprisingly they didn't kick me out or get angry or superb and they took it well when I flew back out eat to my original city I linked up with the Muslim community the first time I prayed Omaha was there and I saw how the community was very accepting very diverse and that's where I took mine Shahada it wasn't like I said much she had that in front of everybody and then getting hugged by a whole bunch of random men I just said it when I was there and there were a couple brothers helping me throughout the process and that was it from there I was introduced to the Muslim community and I received a lot of books one of the first things I learned how to do was to pray so presently that wasn't too hard to do I was moreso praying all of them on time I converted to Islam when I was 18 and I'm 27 now over the years many people have actually asked me about the religion and converted and the biggest reason they said that I helped them was being non-judgmental not judging them for their past and just being totally open in kind my conversion story to Islam part one so I converted to Islam ten years ago on June 16 2010 at the age of 15 I come from a Christian background I was raised by a Christian family and all my life I went to Catholic schools it was a very bad kid I was very lost gone to some trouble drinking smoking all that gangster jahiliyyah stuff so when I was in grade 10 I was in a relationship don't judge me you know sounds Muslim I was in a relationship with a Muslim girl and she was out of my conversion story to Islam part two so as I told you guys I was in a relationship with an Arab girl in high school at the age of 15 and most high school relationships some high school sweetheart talked about the future wanting to have kids married so my ass caught feelings around four months in the relationship and I told her that I wanted to marry her and she said you can't asked her why she said because you're not part of my religion see Noah asked her tell me about your religion this is the first time in my life that I was ever exposed to topic about Islam and she told me everything she knew about Islam mashallah we talked about the five pillar we talked about how Muslims aren't terrorists we talked about Jesus Christ I'll a celeb and this topic really intrigued me because I was born and raised as a Catholic all my life believing that Jesus ra sallam was God so when I found out in Islam that he's only a prophet I was like hold up and then we started to baiting and she started saying things like well if Jesus is God how can he pray to Allah which is said in the Bible if Jesus is God why didn't he say that the father is greater than I my conversion story to Islam part 3 as I told you guys me and the girl were talking about Jesus Christ on a celeb in Islam and I was very shocked to find out that he was only a prophet in Islam whereas in Christianity he is considered the Son of God or God himself so after debating for several hours she gave me an English translation of the Quran and the first story that I read was Surat Maryam and I was absolutely shocked to find out that in Islam Muslims believe in Jesus almost exactly the same as Christians you accept that Christians believe that he's God or divine so after reading surat maryam i was more inspired to breed more of the quran so I actually ended up reading almost half of the entire Quran keep in mind I was 15 years old then I started reading the Bible like then I started asking questions such as why does Jesus pray in the Bible if he's God himself why does he need to pray to God why does Jesus say that the father is greater than I the father's winner than all and nowhere in the Bible I found that Jesus says that he's got himself nor is the Trinity even mentioned in the Bible my conversion story to Islam part 5 so now the research started getting deep because I started asking my own friends these questions that I was having that I couldn't really solve how was Jesus God if he's praying to God in the Bible if he's saying that the father is greater than himself many times if Jesus is God why does he have to eat if Jesus is God why does he get weak sure these are things that God doesn't go through and every day I would study the Quran in the Bible at lunchtime in high school and this was about four months every day I would be reading just to gain knowledge I started getting made fun of by my friends I started losing friends teachers were making fun of me keep in mind this is a Catholic school where there's about a thousand Christian students then you have me just reading the Koran and the only person who I had by my side was the girl who I was in a relationship with I'd hung diddly then I started telling my parents that I was interested in becoming Muslim my mom was okay with it my dad said if you become Muslim you will not be my son my conversion story to Islam part six so I finally approached my parents telling them that was interested in becoming Muslim my mom wasn't as angry but she was worried thinking that I was gonna become with extremists or a terrorist my dad on the other hand when I told him he wanted to disown me he said you're no longer my son how could you think about doing something that's such a big disgrace to our family if you guys don't know African Christian are super super hardcore and that almost made me reconsider I was telling myself maybe I should just convert when I'm a little older after high school maybe I'm too young as a 15 year olds I want to change my religions just like that I literally felt alone because as a kid who was respected in school started getting ridiculed I felt alone and all I had was really this want to become closer to God then I started learning about the Prophet SAW a lot of asylum in his life my conversion to Islam part seven so then I started learning about the life of the Prophet SAW oliver Salim and honestly when I started learning about the Prophet and his life I truly got inspired because the Prophet says Salam grew up in struggle he grew up as an orphan he grew up in poverty and I really related to his story Salah Lahore on II was telling because I grew up with a very difficult childhood and I could relate to so many things at the Prophet SAW someone through and also what really intrigued me about Islam is that the prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam is the only religious historical figure whom you can actually historically prove it listed you cannot historically prove that isolation time exists you cannot historically prove that moose Allison time existed or any of the profits that are mentioned in the Quran historically but Muhammad Ali Salim there is historical proof that a man named Muhammad sallallaahu salaam existed in the 6th century Arabia and that created some sort of validation in me and my inspiration from the prophecy Salaam just couldn't hold me back from converting to Islam

Muslims shouldn't use that app.

[u/dat_boiii627]

Muslims should boycott tiktok

[u/MukLegion]

Someone needs to tell them to stay away from tiktok since it's owned and controlled by the CCP.

While I agree with the sentiment that Muslims shouldn't use that app, I feel that these bothers and sisters will be able to reach certain demographic in Tik Tok that they wouldn't have otherwise. And thus positive exposure for us nonetheless
