German Doctor and his Wife converted to Islam.

We begin in the year 2004 at Easter. One of our patients invited my wife and me with dinner and said: „Today we maintain... all" us about the Islam. "After initial hesitating the maintenance became ever more relaxed and fascinated us into the last cell - which began right line. A new world opened itself for my loved wife and me, it was like a door, which was opened for us. I for my part was still completely adjusted to the rational world, call we her the head. Women have as well known a better intuition, call we them belly.

It took four weeks, until the decision fell first with my wife: „I will obey Allah! "Also I could not differently: The head wanted to gladly still hesitate and consider, the belly strove to put as fast as possible the Christianity down and profess themselves to the Islam. Because we could only win. Shortly thereafter we put our Glaubensbekenntnis down and started a life, which we did not know so yet. We knew: We want to obey Allah (t) and to obey - so far it in our small power- hiss laws.

Beginnen wir im Jahr 2004 zu Ostern. Einer unserer Patienten lud meine Frau und mich zum Abendessen ein und sagte: „Heute unterhalten wir ... Alle » uns über den Islam." Nach anfänglichem Zögern wurde die Unterhaltung immer entspannter und faszinierte uns bis in die letzte Zelle -- die Rechtleitung begann. Eine neue Welt tat sich für meine geliebte Frau und mich auf, es war wie eine Tür, die für uns geöffnet wurde. Ich für meinen Teil war noch ganz auf die rationale Welt eingestellt, nennen wir sie den Kopf. Frauen haben ja bekanntlich eine bessere Intuition, nennen wir sie Bauch.

Es dauerte vier Wochen, bis die Entscheidung zuerst bei meiner Frau fiel: „Ich werde Allah gehorchen!" Auch ich konnte nicht anders: Der Kopf wollte gerne noch zögern und überlegen, der Bauch strebte danach, schnellstmöglich das Christentum abzulegen und sich zum Islam zu bekennen. Denn wir konnten nur gewinnen. Kurz darauf legten wir unser Glaubensbekenntnis ab und starteten ein Leben, das wir so noch nicht gekannt haben. Wir wussten: Wir wollen Allah (t) gehorchen und -- soweit es in unserer kleinen Macht liegt -- Seine Gesetze befolgen.

Laut Quran wurde der Prophet Muhammad für alle Menschen entsandt worden, auch für Christen und Juden.

"Sprich Muhammad: ""O ihr Menschen, ich bin für euch alle der Gesandter Allahs, Dessen das Königreich der Himmel und der Erde ist. Es ist kein Gott ausser Ihm. Er macht lebendig und lässt sterben. Darum glaubt an Allah und an Seinen Gesandten, den Propheten, der des Lesens und Schreibens unkundig ist, der an Allah und an Seine Worte glaubt; und folgt ihm, auf dass ihr rechtgeleitet werden möget."" (Quran 7:158)

Und Wir entsandten dich (Muhammad) nur aus Barmherzigkeit für alle Welten. (Quran 21:107)

British Catholic Priest Converted To ISLAM

Wonderful Story about former Catholic Priest who used to work in Vatican and left all that for islam after he found the right Path to the Truth.

http://www.ireland.com/focus/gageby/u...

Idris Tawfiq, an English Catholic priest who became a convert to Islam. "I think people who embrace Islam see a calmness and simplicity that many have not experienced before. I don't see it as rigid, it's empowering. Islam is beautiful, sweet and gentle."

11/08/2006: Idris Tawfiq, a British Catholic priest who became a convert to Islam, is a source of fascination in his adopted home in Cairo. Mary Fitzgerald spoke to him about his personal journey of discovery.

It is a story that intrigues many in Idris Tawfiq's adopted home of Egypt. It is what draws people to his lectures and guarantees people will read his column in a local English language newspaper. It ensures dozens will participate in his online discussions on Islamic websites.

Everyone wants to know about the British man who went from Catholic priest to devout Muslim, or as one website put it, "from the Vatican to Al Azhar".

Idris, an unassuming fortysomething, understands why his story piques people's interest but insists, for him, the change felt very natural.

"Strange as it might look to millions of people, it seemed a very logical step for me to become Muslim," he says. "People say to me all that time that it must be a massive change, a complete about-face.

"But it's not. I see my life so far as very much a straight line, leading me little by little to where I am today."

TV Report: Latino Muslims Growing in Number in USA

Latino Muslims Growing in Number in the US
Dallas, Texas 13 July 2005

Over the Fourth of July weekend, several hundred American Muslims came together in Dallas, Texas for the south-central regional conference of the Islamic Society of North America. Among them were many Spanish-speaking people who have embraced Islam.

slam is one of the fastest-growing religions in the United States and Latinos represent one of the fastest-growing minorities. Increasingly, the two trends are meeting in the form of Hispanic converts to Islam.

Juan Galvan

San Antonio native Juan Galvan says the transition to Islam is made easy for many Hispanics because of historic and cultural traditions dating back to the time when Muslims ruled much of Spain.

"Islam was in Spain for over 700 years. Spanish, as we speak it today, has been highly influenced. There are over a thousand words which have Arabic roots,” says Mr. Galvan. “Muslims and Latinos have a lot of similarities. Both appreciate family, both appreciate religion and I think that is one of the reasons that a lot of Latinos are coming to Islam."

The Islamic period in Spain came to an end when Spanish King Ferdinand and Queen Isabella succeeded in driving the Muslim Moors from the Iberian Peninsula in 1492.

To this day, many Hispanic Christians maintain a negative view of Islam, which has been reinforced by images of terrorism and unrest in the predominantly Muslim Middle East.

Muslim converts try to counter that image by presenting theirs as a religion of peace and brotherhood.

Latino Muslims are encouraged by the success of Islam among African-Americans. Nearly half of all Muslims in the United States today are black, as are around 90 percent of all new converts to the religion.

Mustafa Carroll

Dallas resident Mustafa Carroll says Islam has spread among blacks and other minorities by the example Muslims have provided. "We are not out proselytizing and we are not asking people to do it. All we do is present the word and people take it."

One of the biggest sources of new converts to Islam is the U.S. prison system. Mustafa Carroll says Muslim brothers offer support to those inmates who want to change their lives.

"We have a very dynamic inner-prison group right now in the Dallas, Texas area, which helps a lot of inmates to come out. They start the transformation in prison and then they get help to stay out of prison once they get out."

At the Islamic Society conference, one Mexican-American man told how his conversion to Islam took him away from a life of crime. He says his faith and the support of his brother Muslims has given him a new life.

Reyna Cazares

For most Latino Muslim converts the transition is generally less dramatic. Reyna Cazares converted some months after her husband and daughter. "I was undecided in accepting all of it, in accepting the part that is very difficult for us Hispanics."

One of the things that she found difficult at first was the role of the Muslim woman, but Reyna says there are advantages in this new life she has chosen.

"The woman has her rights in Islam and they are respected by the man. The man and woman cooperate in following the rules established by God."

There are no firm figures on how many Latinos have converted to Islam, although there is an estimate of around 40,000, a small number compared to the overall U.S. Latino population of more than 35 million. But Latino Muslims say they believe many more will follow in their path as they spread the word about Islam in their communities.

Six Ladies Converting To ISLAM

Putting their faith in Islam

Around 30,000 women in Switzerland have converted to Islam, according to a recent report by an organisation for Muslim women.

In an interview with swissinfo, Monica Nur Sammour-Wüst, one of those to have made the switch, speaks about her beliefs and her life as a Muslim in Switzerland.

Although raised as a Protestant, 35-year-old Nur Sammour-Wüst feels she has always been a Muslim.

She converted to Islam over a decade ago and looks back to an event in Sunday school as a harbinger of the change that was to come.

“The teacher told us that God sees and hears everything, but that he sent his son Jesus as an intermediary to the world,” she recalls.

“I went home and told my mother that if God sees and hears everything, I don’t need a mediator.”

“Now, as a Muslim, if I pray for help, I pray directly,” says Nur Sammour-Wüst. “Direct communication with God is a basic tenet of Islam.”

Fear of death

In 1991, at the age of 22, she met and married her first husband, a Lebanese.

“During that time I was always asking myself questions, especially about death. I didn’t find the answers I sought in Christianity – there, death is a taboo subject.”

Her husband, on the other hand, who had lived through war, did not understand the Western fear of death – although, like her, he was only 22.

“For him, everything was clear, because in Islam death is clearly defined,” she says.

“I started to learn more about Islam, and at one point suddenly I knew. I already believed in God, in the prophets, in the angels, in predestination, in resurrection. I was already Muslim, I just had never realised it. In 1992 I officially converted.”

After her first husband died in a car accident, Nur Sammour-Wüst remarried – again to a Lebanese. But after six years they divorced.

Muslim family

Now a single mother, she is raising her son and two daughters as Muslims.

“I am responsible for them – also religiously – until they are 18 years old,” she says. “At home we live and practise Islam, and the children accept it. I think it’s normal for them.”

And should one of her children no longer want anything to do with Islam?

“My most fervent wish to God is that this does not happen. It would be awful for me, because to me Islam is a way of life. It is not like a shirt that you simply change.”

Still, she feels religion and belief cannot be forced on anyone. “If, in the worst case, a child no longer wants anything to do with Islam, then upon reaching adulthood he or she must take responsibility for that decision.”

No exception

A common preconception is that Muslim women sit at home and are not allowed to go out in public. Nur Sammour-Wüst, who leads an active life, denies she is an exception because she is Swiss.

“In the time of the prophet Mohammed, 1,400 years ago, women were politically and intellectually active. The notion of house-bound women tied to the stove is patriarchal, not religious.”

According to Nur Sammour-Wüst, Muslim women in Switzerland often complain that they face more problems than their Swiss counterparts who have converted to Islam.

She puts much of this down to a failure to learn the language.

“They absolutely have to learn German,” she says. “The prophet Mohammed also said that when you live somewhere, learn the language that the people speak so you can communicate.”

“In my view, if Muslim women live in Switzerland, they should be able to speak the language. If they learn German, constructive discussions can take place.”
