My Sikh Father's Reaction When I Accepted Islam

 

 “You’re an Indian who’s chosen a Pakistani religion. You’ve basically betrayed your bloodline.” That’s what Reece’s mother said when she found out he was Muslim.

Reece once hated Islam.
He believed the worst about Muslims.
“If someone mentioned the word ‘Muslim’ to me, what would come to mind was something backwards.”

He was ready to be an atheist.
But after watching a Stephen Hawking lecture on the universe, he began to question everything.
Then a friend said: “Why don’t you just read the Qur’an?”

He did. “What really caught my eyes were the laws and commands… that just hit me immediately.”

Reese embraced Islam quietly.
When his family found out, the backlash was strong.
But his conviction was stronger.

This is how Allah guides.
This is the impact of dawah.
