TROY'S CONVERSION STORY
at www.CONVERTSTOISLAM.com


I was at an age of 15/16 where i began to think about life alot more i used to think why am i here... at the age of 17 i had no doubt that there was a god. but i didnt have a religion nor did i choose to follow one there an then. it came to researchin into religions from time to time. this year 2010 i chose to really look into religions and i looked into islam as i was brought up around many muslim brothers an sisters. and it made sence unlike the other religions i looked at the jesus part in christianity an catholics i didnt agree with. and islam had evidence and everything i read made sence. i got really into my research at that point and i would ask my friend about certain things such as fasting and why they do that. when i got enough knowledge i said to my friend that im going to become muslim around ramadan time . I thought that would been good idea give it time. but i had change in heard an moved it about a few weeks time. Then i was researching one night before i went ot sleep and it said if you want to do something do it. you dont know how long you got on this planet and after reading that i got it organised to be done on that weekend. But apart from the beautiful research i had to talk to my family about this and they didnt understand nor did they want to listen. i tried talking to them they didnt want to hear it which was ashame. and wen i became muslim i was really happy alhamdulilah. but then my family heard about it. and things was awkward at home. family got upset angry and confused. there was no they was gna listen to me, i had to do what i felt was right an i done that in order that they see i was for real. now they are supportive alhamdulilah and from time to time i share my knowledge with them. friends have had their views too alot have said u shouldnt have done that. have you thought about it an i even have lost friendships with my decision, its not nice but they was really against my decision and i jus wish them the best. with every decision in life you get people who like it. people who dont and people who dont know about a religion judge it on what other peoples views on it are. Islam is made out to be extreme, radical and opressing by ignorant people who show this in the media and preach it by selfish views. this inflicts on all our lifes . i dont hate people that hate me for my decision in faith. we just got to show hw peaceful and respectful we are. this how i get through the stress thats caused by people hating on me because of my belief.

i wish i could expand on this but if you would like to ask me more my email is iainmason@hotmail.co.uk

my name is Ismail

asalam alaikum brother and sisters x
