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.

00:19.020 --> 00:22.380
And yet he was God, but yet he was the son of God.

00:23.680 --> 00:26.160
He was a man, but yet he was not a man.

00:26.780 --> 00:29.260
He was divine, yet he was human.

00:31.000 --> 00:41.020
So growing up with this confused concept, it was only a matter of time before I rejected Christianity.

00:43.860 --> 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.

00:55.740 --> 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.

01:11.040 --> 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,

01:26.040 --> 01:32.260
something that will bring us back to life, then I would answer yes.

01:32.260 --> 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.

01:51.200 --> 01:58.680
Now, although I didn't fast that day, I did go down and partake of the iftar meal.

02:00.200 --> 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.

02:09.780 --> 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.

02:26.380 --> 02:30.140
And one book was going to change my life entirely, forever.

02:31.520 --> 02:38.380
It was a book called Towards Understanding Islam by Saeed Abdullah Malguddin.

02:38.380 --> 02:48.500
In this book, Towards Understanding Islam, were clear, concise arguments about the oneness and uniqueness of God.

02:49.480 --> 02:52.220
Clear, concise arguments about what is a Muslim.

02:53.140 --> 02:56.140
Clear, concise arguments about what is disbelief.

02:56.740 --> 02:58.140
Clear, concise arguments.

02:58.140 --> 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.

03:10.980 --> 03:12.560
And for about a week, I read this book.

03:14.380 --> 03:19.020
And then one evening, I said to myself, this is it.

03:19.840 --> 03:22.480
This is what I have always believed for my life.

03:22.740 --> 03:23.540
This is the truth.

03:23.540 --> 03:32.700
I read the shahada on the page, and just kept on repeating it over and over and over to myself.

03:33.440 --> 03:35.620
And I was convinced, and I said, this is it.

03:35.800 --> 03:36.860
I'm now a Muslim.
