A Beautiful story of Australian Family converting to
Islam
May Allah grant them all the highest peak of Jannah
Here
is my story of how my family converted ️
Both
my parents are Aussie, they divorced when I was young because my father was
really abusive. We still have problems with him. I haven't seen him or spoken
to him in 12 years. Mum had 4 kids with him.
After
the divorce My mum was seeing this Lebanese Muslim. He wasn't really practicing
and they had my youngest brother. They were always on off, on off cause he lied
to her all the time and he cheated on her. So my mum always broke it off with
him but he wormed his way back. My mums really soft hearted.
We
didn't know much about Islam, all we knew was Ramadan and eid... I used to be a
pretty religious catholic. I used to go to bible studies and everything. But
the more I learnt the more confused I became. I started asking questions and
they said you just have to believe. I thought to myself that's not enough for
me to stand on. So I left catholism....
I
still believed there was a God but I became rly confused. My youngest brothers
dad had been in Lebanon for over 2 years now cause his son was getting married
and his mums sick. Before he left he sent his cousin to our house. He was 27
with a wife and a beautiful 4 year old daughter. We became like brother and sister.
Best friends. I would go to him for everything and he would come to me if he
had
dramas...He was religious... But yet again subhanallah we didn't speak about
religion...He was very respectful and he used to celebrate birthdays with us
and Christmas...
In
September 2012 we were going to a christening, he came in the morning to see if
we needed anything and to check up on us, ( he did this every day ) We got to
the church and the preist had a mullet, he had tns on and was saying all this
crazy stuff like now that these kids are baptised if they go into a cult they
will be protected.
Subhan'Allah
every time he would pour water on one of the babies heads that were getting
baptised, EVERY baby in the room would scream. Even the ones in the crowds. I
thought that was creepy
We
got to the reception and the priest hit on my mum, started smoking and drinking
with the teenagers. I'm thinking what is this????
We
left to come home after that. When we got home we were notified that my
brothers dad's cousin had died Allah yerhamo. It ripped me apart. But we became
really close with his wife and daughter. His wife and I were talking about
religion, she's very religious. But it made soooooooooo muchmore sense. She
took me, my mum and my sister to a sheikhs wife. She answered all our questions
and Alhumdulillah we converted that night! A week later my 14 year old brother
converted and
subhanallah
he now wants to be a sheikh inshallah!
But
wallah the feeling you get when you first say the shahada when we converted, it's
like a light has come apon you, like your as light as a feather, I knew by that
feeling I had done the right thing! And Alhamdulillah none of us have turned
back :)) "
