Quran, Surah
5:Ayat: 82-83
"And thou wilt find the nearest of them in
affection to those who believe (to be) those who say: Lo! We are Christians.
That is because there are among them priests and monks, and because they are
not proud. When they listen to that which hath been revealed unto the
messenger, thou seest their eyes overflow with tears because of their
recognition of the Truth. They say: Our Lord, we believe. Inscribe us as among
the witnesses"

Stories on Converts to Islam are big
inspirations to both Muslims and non-Muslims. One of the big problems of many
Muslims is that they are busy chasing Western Culture.
It is a much needed research work
to study these converts’ stories, watch and listen to videos, and classify
these stories.

I was telling an American friend that I
am Muslim. He said "I thought that Muslims are black, poor, or uneducated!".
This is the perception that the Western Media presents to the people. So,
please examine this impressive list of converts to Islam, and you be the
Judge!
Why are Christian priests and
missionaries embracing Islam ? ! You can find many converts from Christianity to Islam
there, as well as Christians who are learning more about Islam. If you are a
former Christian priest or missionary who has embraced Islam, please
Contact Us.
Below a collection of
converts' stories which are enlightening, heart-warming and inspiring in equal
measure. These new Muslims come from a variety of backgrounds. They include
intellectuals, scientists, priests, Rabbis, missionaries, and artists, young and old,
famous and laypersons, from around
the globe. Most of these converts are former Christians or from a Christian
background. These testimonies only represent a drop in the ocean however,
since every day hundreds of people convert to Islam all around the world.
Amongst the most powerful and thought-provoking testimonies are those of
former Christian priests and missionaries who have discovered the one true
religion. This is a tremendous challenge to Christian missionaries. Instead of
wasting $6.8 billion each year trying to convert poor and sick Muslims, they should
concentrate their efforts on understanding Islam!

| I received this email about Sister
Zainab, above. It is one of many salam Sir
I just read the story of sister Zainab. It was really moving story and I
have tears in my eyes while writing this. She is really a great Muslimah.
I felt so bad when I came to know that how some of the Muslim brothers
treated her. such bros are dark spots of our society and sister should not
care abt them. She has done sabar over all that people have done to her. I
don't know what to write.........actually I am so confused on what to say
and what not...............I am sorry for this stupid mail.....
Just pray for me to have Emaan like her...
I am such a bad Muslim that I cant grow even beard while this great sister
of mine is observing full hijab in a non-Muslim society....
This is my reply:
This is what Islamic youth awakening is all about.
Converts are already Awake.
All converts that I know are much better Muslims than most born Muslims.
For example, when I need help in my website, most born Muslims offer many
talks and no actions. AlHmad le Allah, I get all the help from Converts.
I need your help. Spread the word.
