My journey to Islam

This is the most commonly asked question I’ve ever had!

I am fascinated there are 1.93 billion Muslims in the world today making up 25% of the world’s population. Amazing number indeed! I knew nothing of Islam myself. I worked with many Muslims, in fact, my first serious job was at an embassy run by Muslims.

I am a revert to Islam. People say “revert” because in Islam it’s considered one is going back to the “original” religion. I haven’t really given much thought when I reverted to Islam to be honest. I’ve done it so my husband and I can share the same religion. I do not consider myself super religious. I don’t know what that means.

I am learning about Islam and the more I learn the more I think it’s the most amazing religion in the world. For revert Muslim women there’s a group called New Muslim Women Group at the London Central mosque. It’s a group of revert women from all walks of life who get together to talk about various subjects, inspirations and support one another. What an amazing initiative!

Knowing I know very little of Islam here are a few things I’ve learned so far.

Kindness

I know in all religions people are kind. All religions based on love. However, I don’t know why but the muslims are the kindness…
