Why I converted from
Christianity to Islam Young millionaire confesses
A
man identified as Ishaq Mustaqim has narrated why he converted from
Christianity to Islam.
Mustaqim,
a young millionaire who made his fortune from criminal activities disclosed how
he took to the life of crime from the age of 13, resulting to juvenile jail
sentence on him.
He
narrated that at the age of 18, he was sent to another prison for two years
where his criminal mind got broadened.
Despite
going in and out of jail, Mustaqim said he made so much money but never had
peace until he met some Muslim brothers who introduced him to Islam.
In
a videocirculated online, Mustaqim asserted that he found peace when he
finally converted to Islam and started reading the Quran.
He
said, “My name is Ishaq Mustaqim and my father is from Haiti and my mother is
from Switzerland and I’m Muslim for two years now. I was born in Montreal and
grew up there.
When
I was a young kid I was really good in school and I’m sure my mum had high hope
in me because I was her first child.
“Everything
change when I was looking for Admire, I was staying with my mum and her
husband, and I needed I father figure because I never had one, this pushed me
to the street.
“At
the age of 13 I started behaving like other kids in school who used drugs and
followed girls, at 15 I became so bad that I was put in juvenile jail for
few months and I didn’t stop. This made my mum to send me back to
Switzerland where I worked for her brother, where I worked for three.
“At
17 I cooled off and at 18 I started and was sent to jail for two years, in jail
I learnt that happiness was based on material things. My time in jail made me
to be criminally minded. I was Christian before but was not praying. I
only prayed when I was into something bad.
“In
jail I prayed and while reading the Bible but I didn’t feel touched. Shortly
someone I could not see gave me the Quran.
“When
I came out of jail I started looking for money, and because I had no school,
the fastest way was the criminal way. Every bay was of getting money I was
involved in it. For ten years I lived the life of luxury, power and respect.
“I
had all a lot of luxury but I was not happy, I had cars but was renting,
had houses but was staying in hotel suits because I was not happy.
“I
lived a millionaire life for ten years and at the end I was questioning my self
the essence because there was no happiness. I was caught again and sent
to jail for 11 months and due to my record I was put in the maximum area with
people with more money.
“At
the end of my sentence, I met a Muslim brother who told me about Islam and he
promised to send me the Quran but he never did. When I got up, I went back to
my life and I met a woman who is a Muslim who made me to do research on the
Quoran.
“During
my research, I found that Islam was the truth, I took Mazadhazad three
days after my mum called me, saying the police was looking for me, I met with
my lawyer and they asked me to give myself in and I did for the first time as a
Muslim.
“My
love for Islam is because it gives me happiness, the happiness that money,
women, crime never gave me. I have today seen young Muslims wishing to
compromise because they don’t value what they have.
“I
never thought I will be a Muslim, the terrible thing you see in the media about
Islam is not the real truth because the real Islam teach you to be good and
responsible to other person ( Surah Al Maidah: Verse 32 / 5:32 ). Islam
according to what is taught in Quran never teach you to become a terrorist.
Quran never teach you to become bad person nor a irresponsible person. Islam
and Quran taught you to respect others, respect the animals, and hence respect
the earth.
You
can learn better about Islam when you study the Quran. Think by self and study
the Quran and learn about the true religion of Islam.”
