In this interview, John Pinna speaks with Abbie Hafez about her journey from Christianity to Islam. Abbie discusses growing up in a small Christian community in Michigan, her unexpected move to Dubai, and her gradual exposure to Islam through her Muslim husband. She describes the profound emotional and spiritual impact of reading the Quran and praying for the first time, which led to her conversion. Abbie shares her experiences with online criticism and support after posting about her faith journey on social media, as well as her family's reactions to her conversion. She emphasizes the importance of finding a supportive in-person Muslim community and views her faith as a gradually growing flower. Throughout the interview, Abbie stresses the personal nature of faith, the diversity within Islam, and her belief that everyone's spiritual journey is unique and should not be forced.
