today I met someone who converted to Islam from Hinduism.
He told me he never really believed in his religion and four years ago he started researching all the other religions one by one in his last year of Uni.
He said he would read their scripture and try his best to disprove them. Each time he felt he could prove their fundamentals to be false. Then he researched Islam and again, tried his best to research all the major criticism ppl make and prove that it was a false religion but he couldn't… leaving him with a big decision to make.
He decided to tell his mother he was interested in accepting Islam and that didn’t go well at all; in short, she went ballistic.
He then told me that this only made him more convinced it was the truth because she was behaving just like the Qur'an said critics behave. At that time he was reading about the story of Ibrahim AS and how his father rejected his message saying "are you going to turn us against the ways of our forefathers", and this is exactly what she was saying!
And so, wanting to follow the truth he took his shahaada with a group of his friends in the local park.
His dream now is to see his mother take her shahadah before she passes.
May Allah grant our brother steadfastness and guide his mother to the Truth
