Islam

Originally born in Zimbabwe, Mark (@Think Revert)  had a regular Christian upbringing but could never quite get his head around the idea of worshipping a human being. His parents separated and he moved to England with his mother. During this time he becomes even more despondent from the Christian religion and leaves it altogether. Mark thinks his only option after this is living a hedonistic lifestyle (chasing a life of pleasure).

Mark befriends his flatmate, Kamran, at University where the hedonism continues, however, his pursuit of pleasure was stifled via a near death encounter with alcohol poisoning. This experience further exacerbated the spiritual gap in his life and it was around this time his flatmate Kamran opened up to Mark about researching further into Islam. Mark's initial reaction was stupefaction but with each passing day as they dug deeper and deeper into their research their true purpose of life was being unveiled to them. There was only so much research they could achieve on their own and reached out to the only person who  — ​their non-Muslim narcotics dealer — who was acquainted with the Muslims in the area. He gave them directions to the local mosque which was only a stone’s throw away from where they lived.

You’ll need to watch this episode to learn how Mark’s journey to Islam unravels and he also shares insights of what he’s learnt on his decade long journey which other New Muslims can learn from. Support the show

Guided to Islam Through The Arabic Language

Uthman Mahmood began his journey in the Dawah under a decade ago when iERA were running a Dawah campaign during the London 2012 Olympics and he wanted to get involved. From then on he was swept away in the fervour for the Dawah and went on Dawah trips all of the UK training others on how to share Islam or explaining Islam to non-Muslims within city centres. However, a nerve was struck when one of the attendees referred to him as an Ustadh and from then on he knew he was punching above his weight (something else which speaks about on this episode and how he overcame the struggles of being overweight).

FROM FRONTLINE TO FLATLINE: Why The Dawah Is Not A Game!

Sakina Bint Erik is a Canadian revert who accepted Islam in the mid-'90s. From a young age, she realised that there were inconsistencies within her Christian faith and sought out the truth as she always believed that there was a God. She initially lived in a non-Muslim area but when she moved to a more diverse city - Ottawa - she befriended a group of Muslim sisters from all different walks of life. This bond of sisterhood resonated with Sakina. Support the show
