For channels like this to grow and grow bigger to be great we need people. A lady went with the Bible to convert Muslims and this happened. What really happened? My name is Daisy and I grew up in a Catholic family. I had my sisters and nun, my uncles, our priest. We were very devout Irish Catholics. We went to Daily Mass and I grew up in a family and in a culture where we were learning that Islam was a very barbaric religion. It had a lot of cruelty that people didn't know anything about Jesus or the love of Christ and had no peace in them. And then I was offered a job position over in Saudi Arabia where I worked with the children and took care of the preschool in the American Embassy. And as I was going there we loaded up my suitcase with Bibles and Rosaries. We brought them over. So your priest mentioned to you you're going to this country of the Muslims. They reject Jesus. They don't believe in Jesus. They need to be saved. So then you packed your Bibles with you. Yes, exactly. And that we needed to show them the love of Jesus. That was the main reason and that that would change their whole culture and they would be a very loving culture. So you were really cautious when you went there? Yeah, I was told that I might be put in jail for this too because they don't allow Christianity or any type of... For taking the Bibles. Yes, yeah and the Rosaries in. So what happened at the airport? Well, they asked if they could keep the suitcase full of Bibles and told me to come back the next day. They just needed to make sure they were Bibles. And so the next day I thought I probably wouldn't get them, went back to the airport and they gave me the suitcase with all the Bibles and the Rosaries. Well, why I really respect the law of Saudi Arabia? I just felt like putting people into prison for trying to preach Christianity to people. I think it's not a good law. I don't really know what you think about this, but I think it's a very wrong law. Allow people to be free to chose. If someone is convinced that a particular faith is right, based on really reasons and ideas that someone has inculcated, it doesn't allow them to become what they want to be. That lack of freedom is really one of the setbacks for Islam. So your intention when you went to Saudi Arabia was to meet the Muslims and to share the message of Jesus with them. Jesus being what? Lord and Savior? Yes, exactly. That was my whole plan. It was like a missionary work at the same time. And when I got over there, I started telling them, I thought I'll teach them about Jesus, and I started sharing the miracles of Jesus with them. And then they said, what about this miracle? What about when Jesus was a baby and he protected his mother's honor and talked as an infant? So the Muslims mentioned to you that there are miracles in the Quran, right? And they showed you from the Quran, I guess. Yes, and they showed me more miracles than what I had learned. So I thought maybe I missed it somehow and I even called my family in America and said, was I asleep during the church or something? Because I missed a massive miracle. A miracle that was very great. And then I also was told about a bird made out of clay and Jesus blew life into him. And I said, was the bird dead? And they said, no, there wasn't even a bird. It wasn't even dead. It was nothing and it became life. And so I was learning more miracles than I had learned as a Christian for Jesus that I went to teach them about. They ended up teaching me more about Jesus than what I had learned being a Christian. And that's kind of where a lot of my interests sparked because I thought, wait. And then we went on about Mary too because I thought they don't know that she's a virgin and this pure woman and they treat women terrible. And what I found was that they had a whole chapter in the Quran on Mary and when I heard it and it was translated to me, all I could do was cry. It was the most beautiful Sir I have ever heard. Chapter number 19. Yes. Yeah? Yeah. So I mean, you may know it and our Christian brothers and sisters, they'll be amazed to find out that Mary is the only lady is mentioned by name in the Quran. But she's the only one, not the mother of Muhammad peace be upon him, not his wife or daughter or any believing ladies of that time. Mary who came 600 years before Muhammad peace be upon him, she's mentioned 32 times in the Quran. And do you know how many times in the Bible? Zero? No, no, she's mentioned. She's mentioned. She's mentioned. She's mentioned. It has to be something, right? She's mentioned 18 times. Oh, okay. And then there is a passage in the Quran. Chapter three, verse number 42 in which God sent an angel to Mary, Mother Mary. And the angel is saying, so this is English, that, oh, Mary, God has chosen you. God has purified you and God has chosen you about all the ladies. So look at the love, the honor, the respect Muslims give to Mary, the mother of Jesus. So these are some of the passages that you may have read. Yes, yeah, that was a, it had a big effect on, and not only that, but then my experience of living there and being with the people, the Muslims, that I was thinking was, you know, I was actually, I hate to say this, but I hated Muslims. I thought they were terrible people. What I had been taught was that they, you know, weren't so nice and very cruel and barbaric people. Fox News. Media had a big part in it. And if you, you know, but what was happening was I was learning the opposite. And that's what threw me completely because everything that I was told, the opposite was happening. And it wasn't just one thing. It was over and over. It was the people's hospitality, the generosity, the respect for my religion, how respectful they were to my Christianity. So everything that piled up, it just, it didn't stop. I don't blame people who feels Muslims are cruel. For example, I will keep saying it till tomorrow. What happens when someone so-called blaspheme, because I really don't know what blaspheming means. When someone says certain things on becoming of maybe Prophet Muhammad, please be upon him or maybe the Quran or any other figure in Islam. Instead of people to report these people to authority in the 21st century, what they do is they gotta stone the person to death or kill the person. That's barbaric. You know, as you mentioned about Prophet Jesus, please be upon him. It's important that the miracles of Jesus are mentioned many times in the Quran. And also it's really important for all the viewers to find out that any miracle the Quran speaks about Jesus, please be upon him or any prophet. You know, Allah says, God says, it is coming with the permission, with the power of Allah. So Jesus, any miracle that he did, healing the blind, the lepers, the sick, raising people from the dead or making bursts of clay and breathing into them and they fly off. Every single miracle, it was God who was doing that miracle. So it's really important that our focus should be God. The power is God, the Almighty is God. Jesus was a messenger, a prophet, right? So perhaps that's what you also read in the Quran. Oh, absolutely, absolutely. Yeah, that was a big part of it. And I think also when I went home, I had to, you know, come back to the church and face the priest and my parents and tell them these miracles, which they still denied or said there's no such thing. But I thought, how could you deny such a beautiful miracle? This is a beautiful thing about Jesus. And from there, I went to the monks, the Benedictine monks, I actually lived there for a while. Yes, once I came back, I'm sorry. I went to my priest, my parish priest who sent me because he thought, okay, she must be crazy because she's talking about this guy named Muhammad who is crazy. So they said, you know, I hate to say that. It sounds so bad to say that now, but they thought he was, they told me if today's day in time, if we were to have Muhammad here, we would diagnose him with schizophrenia. And so do you want to follow a schizophrenic? So I would go back and forth with these, with my church, the Benedictine monks at the Prince of Peace Abbey in California. And I stayed there for a while, seven years, I went back and forth. And finally, one of the priests came to me and said, if you have a call in your heart, it doesn't matter what I tell you, it doesn't matter what the bishop tells you, what the cardinal, even the pope himself, you need to follow the call from God in your heart. And that's when my journey really began. Well, that, my son, very good and perfect. And you know, in tune with what we're saying here, it's also wrong. Because if you're a Muslim and you went to your Imam, are you confused about Christianity and your Imam say, oh, really, what is in your heart? Do it? I think that was very wrong. The Imam has literally sent you away from the faith. Do you know that? So because when we're talking about things as serious as this, that are related to psychology, we have to be very, very careful. Because let's put it in context. If this lady is Muslim and she goes to an Imam to ask Imam, please, I would love, I'm confused about something in my heart about Christianity. I, when I traveled to Rome and returning back, I really want to be part of the Christian religion. What do you want me to do? And the Imam says, oh, well, if you have a call in your heart, if you have any twinge of God's call in your heart, follow your heart. If he does so, then he has literally sent somebody away from the truth, from Islam. That's a wonderful advice. I'm surprised that they mentioned that. So then, perhaps, he did say to me after, as soon as he said it, was that he might lose his position in the church for saying that to me. And he said, but because I came to him with that, he had to say it. So then what, when did you take your Shadah eventually? It took quite a while, because not even, what was hard was my family to come back to the strong Irish Catholic family. And then they're the ones who took me to the priests who took me to the nun who said, we're going to take you to a psychiatrist if you don't stop. Yeah, because they thought that and they would say, why do you want to be abused? Why would you follow a religion that is suppressed women? And there must be something mentally wrong that you want to be abused when you can be free as a Christian. But I found my true freedom came as a Muslim. That's when I really became free. I don't have to worry about anything. You're free from all the superficial stuff that you go through the other way. So what were some of women's rights that you heard from the Muslims or from the Quran? That you said, wow, I was so much deceived. Yeah, lots of deception. That's a good word, brother. The biggest one for me that I love. And I think all women will love that you get to keep your inheritance and your money that you earn. It's all yours. And you don't have to spend it at all on the men. It's all yours. And I thought, oh, I really like that. I always say whatever our wife or any lady she earns belongs to her, whatever the husband earns also belongs to her. She's the queen of the house. Alhamdulillah, only in Islam, Allah is so merciful, such a wise, guiding, almighty God. So then what led you towards closer to reciting the Shahada? Pretty much after the priest said that to me, that was like, that was a big thing. The other thing was I still, I thought I could do both then at that point. I thought, okay, I'll, because they said, you know, I'll keep Jesus and I'll keep Muhammad. They're both great guys. So we'll try to do both. We'll do Christianity and Islam. So I actually had my children in a Bible camp and the nun said to me, you know, are you still thinking about this guy named Muhammad? I said, oh yeah, of course. And she said, well, today might be a little tricky because we're going to teach the kids that Jesus is God and God is Jesus. And I said, oh that, yeah, we can't do that. And she said, no, we have to do that. So at that point, I just took the kids by the hand and got up and said, thank you very much. And I never went back to the church because that's when the light went on. Like, I can't, I can't do it. There's something inside of me that I realized, you know, Jesus is the greatest prophet, but he is not God. God is God and God is one. So that is the main message that also of Jesus, peace be upon him. Fine, he did miracles. He was a mighty prophet. But it's so important for us to know what was the main message of all of these mighty prophets of God? May that be Noah, Abraham, Moses, Jesus, Muhammad, peace be upon them. As the Quran says, and you may have seen that Chapter 3, verse number 51, Allah says, Inna Allaha Rabbil Wa Rabbukum Fa'budu Haaza Siratum Mustaqeem. So Esalaam Jesus is saying in the Quran, quoted in the Quran by God, that verily, Allah is my Lord and your Lord. Worship him alone. That is the straight path. This second two and I learned, we went into a Friday prayer together and just said, We are at in the Saudi Arabia or here? No, here, back here in the US. I ended up going to the ICN Mosque and then over to the Orlan Park Prayer Center and took my shahada and learned how to pray and complete Islam with my children at the same time. We did it together, which was a beautiful experience for us, a beautiful experience. All right, get the information, get the information right, get the correct information. That's the reason for channels like this. We are going to continue to grow from strength to strength. I'll do things bigger, get a larger people. What, with our translator, a lot of people will get to know Islam better. That it's possible to be Muslim, it's possible to be a Muslim without being a terrorist, you know, like the way they used to pick Muslims, you know.
