1
00:00:00,500 --> 00:00:17,720
We were being taught that God was a man who came down to the earth, who preached, who ate food, who slept, was stuck on a cross and killed.

2
00:00:19,020 --> 00:00:22,380
And yet he was God, but yet he was the son of God.

3
00:00:23,680 --> 00:00:26,160
He was a man, but yet he was not a man.

4
00:00:26,780 --> 00:00:29,260
He was divine, yet he was human.

5
00:00:31,000 --> 00:00:41,020
So growing up with this confused concept, it was only a matter of time before I rejected Christianity.

6
00:00:43,860 --> 00:00:55,740
Or to be more accurate, rejected the belief that man could come down, that God could come down to the earth and become a man.

7
00:00:55,740 --> 00:01:11,040
I was always a person who believed in the higher power and always believed that there was something more out there, something more to life than just living, eating, sleeping and dying.

8
00:01:11,040 --> 00:01:26,040
And if I was asked, do I believe in God, meaning do I believe in something that created us, something that knows us, something that cares for us,

9
00:01:26,040 --> 00:01:32,260
something that will bring us back to life, then I would answer yes.

10
00:01:32,260 --> 00:01:51,200
Once I got to university, there was one year where it was Ramadan and some Muslims had invited me to come and break fast with them.

11
00:01:51,200 --> 00:01:58,680
Now, although I didn't fast that day, I did go down and partake of the iftar meal.

12
00:02:00,200 --> 00:02:09,780
And it was through their sort of generosity and explaining to me little things which they knew that kind of switched the light on inside my head.

13
00:02:09,780 --> 00:02:26,380
It was at a table, a dawah table, which they had in the common room, that I was given some leaflets and some booklets.

14
00:02:26,380 --> 00:02:30,140
And one book was going to change my life entirely, forever.

15
00:02:31,520 --> 00:02:38,380
It was a book called Towards Understanding Islam by Saeed Abdullah Malguddin.

16
00:02:38,380 --> 00:02:48,500
In this book, Towards Understanding Islam, were clear, concise arguments about the oneness and uniqueness of God.

17
00:02:49,480 --> 00:02:52,220
Clear, concise arguments about what is a Muslim.

18
00:02:53,140 --> 00:02:56,140
Clear, concise arguments about what is disbelief.

19
00:02:56,740 --> 00:02:58,140
Clear, concise arguments.

20
00:02:58,140 --> 00:03:10,460
And this is something which struck me, and every day I would read this on the train going in, at lunchtime, coming home.

21
00:03:10,980 --> 00:03:12,560
And for about a week, I read this book.

22
00:03:14,380 --> 00:03:19,020
And then one evening, I said to myself, this is it.

23
00:03:19,840 --> 00:03:22,480
This is what I have always believed for my life.

24
00:03:22,740 --> 00:03:23,540
This is the truth.

25
00:03:23,540 --> 00:03:32,700
I read the shahada on the page, and just kept on repeating it over and over and over to myself.

26
00:03:33,440 --> 00:03:35,620
And I was convinced, and I said, this is it.

27
00:03:35,800 --> 00:03:36,860
I'm now a Muslim.
