00:27.520 --> 00:31.000
As a youngster, I had some doubts about the Christian theology,

00:31.000 --> 00:32.600
for example, about the Trinity,

00:32.600 --> 00:35.240
because sometimes it was kind of confusing.

00:35.240 --> 00:37.880
If you were praying, are we praying to Jesus Christ?

00:37.880 --> 00:39.320
Are we praying to God the Father?

00:39.320 --> 00:41.600
Are we praying to the Holy Spirit?

00:41.600 --> 00:42.720
I didn't know in a way.

00:42.720 --> 00:45.240
I made a comparison between the concept of God

00:45.240 --> 00:46.960
in Christianity and in Islam.

00:46.960 --> 00:48.040
And in the end, I thought,

00:48.040 --> 00:49.920
well, it's a little bit more logical

00:49.920 --> 00:51.240
what the Muslims believe

00:51.240 --> 00:53.760
than what the Christians believe on this concept of God.

00:53.760 --> 00:55.280
Reading the books from the Muslims,

00:55.280 --> 00:58.920
it was for the first time that I saw Muhammad as a father

00:58.920 --> 01:02.400
and as a friend and a teacher and a statesman.

01:02.400 --> 01:06.720
And the only thing I knew before was he was a warlord.

01:06.720 --> 01:07.880
He was the antichrist.

01:07.880 --> 01:10.240
He was the most horrible person on this earth.

01:10.240 --> 01:12.720
But now while writing and reading,

01:12.720 --> 01:15.220
I discovered this new person almost.

01:15.220 --> 01:17.000
And it sounds a little bit crazy,

01:17.000 --> 01:19.740
but I almost fell in love with the character

01:19.740 --> 01:23.180
and all the things that come with the teachings.

01:23.180 --> 01:26.060
I got convinced of his character, of his prophethood.

01:26.060 --> 01:27.220
And then I thought to myself,

01:27.220 --> 01:29.380
well, of course, if I say there is just one God

01:29.380 --> 01:31.020
and he is his messenger,

01:31.020 --> 01:33.460
that is practically Shahada, of course.

01:33.460 --> 01:35.420
And I thought to myself, I don't want to be a Muslim.

01:35.420 --> 01:37.300
So, and I put the books away

01:37.300 --> 01:39.100
and it sounded a little bit like a fairy tale,

01:39.100 --> 01:42.620
but it really happened that a lot of books fell from my shelf.

01:42.620 --> 01:45.140
And one of the books that fell off was the Quran.

01:45.140 --> 01:50.940
And when I picked it up, my thumb was on Surah 22, Ayat 46.

01:50.940 --> 01:52.300
And it says in the translation,

01:52.300 --> 01:54.860
it's not the eyes that are blind, but the hearts.

01:54.860 --> 01:57.460
And I thought to myself, yeah, that really is my problem.

01:57.460 --> 01:59.540
And then I did like a little dua.

01:59.540 --> 02:02.220
Just Lord, I don't care if God of the Christians

02:02.220 --> 02:03.800
or the Muslims, just give me a sign.

02:03.800 --> 02:07.140
So I'm 100% sure that this is the way.

02:07.140 --> 02:09.920
But the next morning I woke up and I was very secure.

02:09.920 --> 02:11.640
And all the doubts that I had were gone.

02:11.640 --> 02:13.640
And I told my wife, I'll think.
