Becoming a Muslim - The Islamic Garden

Accepting Islam as a way of life is not only the declaration of faith but it includes changing one's thinking, behavior and friends. Turning the old habits into new habits. Meeting new people and trying to understand where one fits in.

All the events and experiences that a person faces before, during and after becoming a Muslim, come together to mould them into the person they are.

The following are real life accounts of people's past and present circumstances that led to their final acceptance of Islam.

Why I became a Muslim

I always felt close to ‘God’ and prayer was a way of life for me. Deep in my mind, for I could never voice any doubts, I had some misgivings; some things that didn’t make sense to me but as a missionary I felt I was calling to God, not to that particular church.

Dressed all in white - the coward within

This is how I entered a mosque for the very first time. It was an event that would change my life forever! I was confronted by the inconsistencies in my behavior and the weakness of my understanding. It served to shake me a little and wake me up, so I could take the necessary steps to more sincerely submit to Allah.
