Welcome to Islam. I’m also a revert to Islam. I was born into a Catholic family. It was the best moment. Deep down l was looking for the truth and found it in Islam. When l performed the 5 daily Salaat l felt like a human being for the first time.

[@efrencruz4422]

You should watch acts 17 apologetics and pfander films and dcci ministries and christian prince and cira international and shamounian on KZbin channel and watch all the videos on KZbin lgic1😀😀😀

[@altubenaldom2886]

I’m not sure why this video dose not have millions of views

[@AbdulRahman-vz2ng]

Welcome to Islam Sister

[@firdausyibrahim2220]

I really enjoyed her speech and I sympathise with reverts everywhere. Quite a number of them don't get enough support from born-Muslims. May Allah give them strength. Ameen.

[@WelcomeToTheRezvolution]

This is quite a good point about Converts. Many of us who are born into a Muslim family will not know how it feels to go through this process. I also think converts, coming in from the outside, have a different view of Islam as they discover what Islam is and are also seeing the faith, separate from the cultural baggage that those of us may have (as an Asian, or South Asian to people across the pond, I grew up thinking some things were part of Islam which turned out to be cultural, and in some cases actually be against Islam).

[@omarmy3495]

For what it's worth; to quote the famous playwright, Sir George Bernard Shaw, "Islam will be the future religion for the very intelligent", comes to mind when I listen to this lady.

[@wiilwaalarawelo5795]

Every time I come across a revert that's able to articulate the difficulties and sacrifices of finding Allah and Islam, for that is in itself difficult enough and requires struggle. Then they have to go through the pain and isolation from family, friends and society in general. I am happy for you my sister and hope that one day your family will also accept Islam.

[@abdulsonday9370]

As a born muslim, I always ask myself, whether I would have the courage and strength to endure the trials that reverts face. The more I ponder the more I believe that I do not posess the the strenght of many of the reverts whom I see. They are truly an inspiration to muslims and a blessing to Islam. I, like many born muslim, watch in awe as these reverts serve Islam more in a short period of time more than we have done in our entire life..

[@fordmustanggt2046]

So true. I am a born muslim too and I was thinking the same thing.

[@MnM_CuteCatClips]

MashaAllah. You are our sister.

[@azaharbinmohamednoor7530]

I really appreciate you sharing your perspective. It just dawns on me that the perception of self and identity is a big challenge for reverts, and following that, the struggle of overcoming social acceptance / rejection. Now I understand why Islam identifies new reverts as one of the communities that needs support and for us to ease their burden. Thank you.

[@tt_here]

Such a beautiful and concise speech! Your conversion flashbacks and struggles you've been through made my heart race remembering my own experience of going through very similar situations before and after converting. May Allah bless you for spreading awareness, looking forward for more lectures of yours, dear Grace Song.

[@cassimameerally2641]

It is the first time, i listen to such an interesting, and intelligent presentation. It seems that you have done very profound homework. Thank you.

[@MilkyWay-tk5rm]

MashaAllah sister you've articulated your opinions very elegantly. May Allah (SWT) strength your patience and grant you and your family His Jannah.

[@SMR6]

Welcome sister . . U know what they say , when u educate a woman u educate an entire generation. May Allah bless u

[@asifmohtesham]

"Are you willing to sacrifice your family and friends for Islam?" Powerful! 😯

[@izzazulaiva72]

Thank you for brought up the process you've been through as a convert Moslem.. it will help us to understand the enlightment that sometimes we couldnt see as a born moslem.. Hope you become an inspiration for people around who seeks the meaning of life

[@peacemaker1luv901]

What honesty, what courage. Ma ALLAH shower you and your loved ones with HIS divine love and compassion and mercy!!!

[@gulmiraserkebay1017]

I’ve been so impressed.. I really want to thank you for sharing your way. Your deep feelings have made me feel the difficulties of overcoming steps. Pls, accept my respects and admiration . 🙏🙌from Almaty, Kz

[@Saharaqq11]

Congratulations sister , I wish you all the best and (stay strong ) 🌷

[@abdallahdukerazoumat8057]

Smart sister, articulate.may Allah bless you.

[@strangersprison]

That was so awesome! I wish more ppl wld listen to her. We as a community need to take direction from her. We have sooooo much to give society. There are ppl like her practically begging for it and we are holding on to it like some exclusive club. Like when she saw her hijabi school mate after 10 yr high school reunion. Omg that hit me hard.

[@rafique-fy2iw]

I've nothing but admiration n awe for converts.. they went thru so much sacrifice for their belief.. am not sure if i was in their situation, i would hv done the same..

[@miichannel891]

Alhamdullillah! I want to thank you Sister Grace and all involved for sharing this video. I think Grace wonderfully articulated the process and challenges that converts go through including nuances particularly in the US, that many born-Muslims like me may not appreciate. May Allah use your insightfulness to lead many many others to the deen. Ameen

[@jennydbeme]

You are the chosen one alhumdullilah

[@salamindia5148]

Salam from India to you sister...

[@samsudinudin1563]

May Allah rewards you with Jannah. Aminn

[@lgic1]

Wow, my sacrifice is little compared to Grace’s

[@amjadhussain5024]

Thank you for this video..may allah keep u always happy and strong and inspiration for others.

[@manofihsan8300]

May Allah bless our sister. May Allah protect her and continue to aid her. Ameen! A beautiful talk.

[@mma-gb3si]

We heard you loud and clear all the way in Afghanistan my sister.

[@dinsta8778]

Alhamdulillah... Bertambah penghuni surga ... Semoga Istiqomah ya..Ibu.. salam from Indonesia..

[@raulrojas2330]

[@MaSa-bp5qe]

God bless her and reward her Ameen!

[@hussainomar1729]

You are strong, articulate and your message is thought provoking

[@hafsa26]

All sincere Muslims & Believers go through a conscious awakening at some point in their lives.

[@mohabdul1]

MA Sha Allah. May Allah keep you strong in faith. I love to hear converts stories.

[@malenedietl3369]

Well spoken.❤ You speak for many, thank you, sister.

[@zailanzai7591]

[@mckliinjames6640]

Allah, very insightful! May Allah guide us all

[@mokhanx9080]

Well said may Allah swt help her in her efforts insahallah.

[@saleh832]

She blew my mind ( she is chosen one)

[@cymoonazics4940]

A different level of thinking and understanding of the faith. Intellectually challenging us, the born Muslims to appreciate the multitude challenges in doing dakwah works.

[@efaz69]

Welcome to Islam sister.

[@mallorystewart6125]

It takes a huge sacrifice to convert to Islam. You often lose your family and friends or they just tolerate you. And you enter the Ummah and you're alone again. After the "mashallah phase" born Muslims see you as an ignorant that will never understand true Islam but the truth is they don't accept you or trust you because you were born in a different culture and born Muslims often confuse their cultures with Islam. Moreover my Muslim born husband took a second wife behind my back . I came to know after tow months - and then imposed it to me as his God-given right. I actually feel so alone as a converted Muslim and it's very difficult to remain Muslim.

[@TheUsuliInstitute]

Salaams Mallory, can you please email [e-mail]?

[@peacemaker1luv901]

Salaams Every Sahaba was a convert.

[@theastrobuddhist4348]

Technically speaking even Prophet Muhammad S.A.W was the first convert his parents were not born muslim. People need to leave the ego of being born in a Muslim family although a blessing it can really make some think that they are better than converts.

[@harunyahyadotorg]

The Prophet (saw) was always on fitra. He was always a Muslim, he just made it public. Also the technically correct term is revert not convert.

[@jamshedhamdard4183]

Such a smart lady

[@mominhaq6295]

Have you thought of collaboration with other Islamic schools. I like the Cambridge Muslim School. They also post on KZbin. Inshallah you will continue the deen of sharing Islam across the world.

[@alexdahlan3990]

May Allah always bless you sister

[@taimoor722]

U are hero

[@taimoor722]

😢😢😢it is very hard for u

[@malikialgeriankabyleswag4200]

There is no cost only the illusion of pressure from external forces it's up to you what to make of this raw material.. No event is unfamiliar or bad in itself it can be the best blessing if it makes you better, only a bad thing if it corrupts you.. But you alone are responsible for the course this takes..

[@jamshedhamdard4183]

Remember first Muslims they went through hardship so their IMAan was perfect... remember all the time whenever you go through hardship Allah j is purifying you

[@abdullatheef9273]

ASALAMUALIKUM. PEACE. Well SAID sister in ISLAM. yes You said Right we the Muslims failed to convey the TRUTH. Leaving your Family for 8years after Reverting to ISLAM. Great amount of SACRIFICE FOR YOUR LORD ALMIGHTY GOD ALLAH. YOU'RE an INSPIRATION TO THE HUMANS..PEACE..SHALOM.. SALAAM..STAY BLESSED MY CHILD..AND PROPAGATE TRUTH OF ONE NESS OF THE CREATOR TO THE WHOLE OF HUMAN KIND.

[@CaptainN.]

*Raised Muslims. Everyone is born Muslim. Some are inculcated into other than Islam, and some find their way back. AlHamdulillah

[@mirzaardi3274]

You're chosen

[@janjano6576]

Welcome to Islam sister

[@kuwaitupdates631]

May Allah bless you sister New revert Muslims are better then born muslims if iam not wrong because they secrifie alot of and they have sudden problems from their families.I advise to those Muslims who live in Europe plz support new Muslim in every field.may Allah guide us.

[@unclesam5087]

MashaAllah

[@redlightspellsdanger7177]

Amazing Grace 😏

[@rickyalfred9710]

As a convert I don’t relate to anything Grace is saying. What i would say is everyone’s experience is unique. I don’t think you can formalise or make general you’re own experience and think others have similar experiences.

[@shaikhsaeed8007]

Allah hu akbar

[@mahmoudsbeih8614]

Muhammad, peace and blessings be upon him, did not bring a new religion because it is the religion of Adam, Noah, Abraham and Joseph.

[@barbaroslar2235]

they silence because they don't have the knowledge, many muslim from born only have islamic name but they don't learn about thier religion, if they learn they won't be silence after saying congratulation to you, they will do thier best to help you as they can. so for new convert you should judge muslim people not only by thier faith but by thier knowledge about thier faith. i don't want to go about practice, because some muslim may have knowledge but still not practice Islam in thier life. lastly there is born muslim and they hate islam because they feel not free to do many thing, they want to show thier body, they want to drink alcohol and eat pork, they want to have sex freely, they want to follow thier desire and Islam forbid them so they hate Islam, they are maybe ignorance never get to learn about Islam or they have heart disease, wahan (loving world and scare to die).

[@joerazritkas3280]

The true is as a Muslim Only Allah whom we seek help.human are weak creature.

[@atiqrahman7289]

In USA, even the born Muslims have so much problems about their own spiritual identity. For reverts to Islam will get much more difficult. So the born-muslims themselved start doubting about Islam. How can born-muslims guide these revert Muslims?

[@ahsenehsaan8035]

only Islam way to let me throw god

[@Ibn_Abdulaziz]

Islam is for Asian-American community going through racist attacks at the moment. All people are welcome to Islam. To worship your Creator Alone without partners, and doing good deeds for the Afterlife. I don't if this sister is the wife of the preacher in the other videos or not. But male and females not married or related to one another being that close, is not from Islam. And hopefully the books on modesty that you probably have there will become useful.

[@whitegardenia45]

Dr. Abou El Fadel is indeed her husband.

[@craigthebrute2409]

Is usuli institute salafi?

[@umarmalik9625]

You can hear the Professor compare the salafi and usuli methods in this short video kzbin.info/www/bejne/rHLPkH2ajt-LjMk

[@whitegardenia45]

NO. Far from it.
