George grew up in Greece as the son of atheists with no religion, no church, and a deeply negative view of Islam shaped by schools and culture. At 17, feeling something was missing, he started searching. What he found would change everything.In this episode, George shares his full revert story: praying for the first time with his face on the ground, reading one page of the Quran in a hotel room in Istanbul and saying his shahada alone, hiding his first Ramadan from his family, spending years with no mosque, no Muslim community, and no one to call a brother, learning Islam entirely through YouTube videos.We talk about forgiving yourself after Islam, losing the fear that controlled your whole life, the identity shift your family sees before you do, and why Greece may be one of the hardest places in the world to practice Islam as a revert.-Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/0xfSSc1...Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast...Subscribe to the Revert Of The Week Newsletter: https://canyon-mimbs.kit.com/revert-0:00 — George's revert story begins: growing up atheist in Greece1:05 — No religion, no church and a growing void at 174:10 — First time praying alone: putting his forehead on the ground7:15 — Taking shahada alone in a hotel room after one page of the Quran10:20 — Greece calls him a Turk and the hatred Muslims face there13:25 — "Why did you become Muslim?"
