FINDING HOME IN ISLAM:

In this episode, we sit down with Istiraha, a Korean revert, to explore his deeply personal journey to Islam and what it truly means to find faith, belonging, and home.

Istiraha shares his story with honesty and reflection — from his life before Islam to the moments, questions, and experiences that led him toward faith. He opens up about navigating Islam as a Korean man, the internal and external challenges of reverting, and how his understanding of identity, purpose, and community has evolved.

This is a must-listen for anyone interested in Islam in Korea, revert stories, or conversations around faith, spirituality, and belonging. Istiraha speaks candidly about misconceptions, cultural tension, and the quiet strength it takes to walk a spiritual path that isn’t always understood by those around him.

We also discuss what daily life looks like after reverting, how faith shows up in the small, ordinary moments, and what “home” now means to him — spiritually, emotionally, and socially.
