 Assalamu alaikum. So today we're gonna, you know, ask Ibrahim, you know, the famous 14-year-old some questions If you know, he just recently converted. I'm a fellow convert as well So I have a lot of questions for him. So inshallah we see, you know, his story and let's see what he, the gems He drops today, inshallah. So Ibrahim, what was your story? You know, like a lot of people are questioning What was, what attracted you to Islam? So it's just the fitrah. It's the fitrah. Okay So we're all naturally born Muslim, but then over time it fades away because of the, and our parents But everyone is of course attracted to Islam, like we all believe in Tapeed But then it's been corrupted over time. So when I was like seven or eight going to church Wow Going to church. It was something that was just not right. I just felt it. Something told me Jesus is not God I knew it very early, very early on. Okay. So I started researching it I still, even when I was Christian, did not believe Jesus was God and neither do my parents. Oh, wow I started looking into other religions and each one of them had their own contradictions But Islam stuck out to me specifically and that's the one I started researching I had a few questions at first, but I just read the Quran and whenever I had a question I would just ask it and boom, there was an answer for it Then over time over the past few years until when I became like 11, 12, 13 That's when I started really researching it and was convinced it was the truth and took my shahada Wow, so so a couple years of Research took it from 7 to 11. Masha'Allah, like, you know, that's amazing to see a seven-year-old Very inquisitive about religion, you know, you know, you don't see that nowadays, especially, you know With people in instagram and stuff like that, you know, you give little kids that their phone and their own roblox 24 7 and you stood out you did not fall for those temptations from a very young age You had that in you had that fitra and like you said, that's Masha'Allah So when you converted what was the hardest part of Taking that transition it was it maybe talking to your parents about it or the actual Commitment that it was just what was the hardest part for you after the hardest part was at first It was pretty smooth So my mother's side of the family they they were a little skeptical at first But they were okay with it. But however when uh, when my father found out he was not too happy He got very angry and then he eventually did something boom Yeah, so we didn't talk for a few months then because um, he was not happy about my conversion and Because and then over time he started slowly slowly normalizing it and then like he apologized and we're still he's still a little shaky about it Still not too happy that he's tolerated it for the most part. Yeah, that was that was the main thing But yeah, besides that that's been a sweet journey. We keep praying we keep praying Okay, so, you know with that said have you ever had any debates with your parents about, you know, Islam or you know, even if maybe, you know, if your parents are atheist or Christian, whatever Yeah, what are the debates like? Oh, do they try to listen and understand? Yeah, naturally. Yeah, because my parents they're they're closer to Islam than they are to Christianity In their beliefs. Yeah, they claim to be Christian But they don't believe Jesus is God and they do believe that Muhammad sallallahu alaihi wa sallam Is a prophet of Allah Yeah, pretty much But yeah, my father on the other hand, he's a hardcore atheist. Okay He's uh, not very happy about Islam or any other religion to be specific And his family nearly disowned him because he left Catholicism. He was a very big opponent of his family's religion And how are the debates with them? Do you ever talk about the existence of God and stuff like this? And what does he say about your because, you know, you're very, you know, I know him outside of this and he's very witty You know, you're very smart. You're the information To receive you can actually, you know, talk about it very fast So I'm assuming that you win all these debates Well, yeah, mostly it's um, it gets heated at times. Yeah, but most of the times he just doesn't listen That's the sad part. Okay. So You know, the Quran says that some people, you know, their heart is don't quote me I'm not quoting specifically, but um, their hearts are blinded, you know, like there's a veil over them But inshallah, we pray and we make to a Yeah, I think we covered pretty much everything Do you have any other comments that you want to make any advice for our fellow Congress or people that are looking into Islam Just Just research look into it. Don't be afraid You can just go online. Make sure you go to trusted sources. Just read the Quran most of all That's the most authentic piece of information is just read the Quran And if you have any questions, just go online and ask them. There's always an answer to anything Yes Yes, uh, something that would say to my fellow questions is, you know, it's not hard to read the Quran It's not how long to study, you know, study your own bible really question the things that are in there, you know There's a many many contradictions and you know questioning the authenticity of it You know, this is history. It doesn't have to be religion Just study where it comes from study where paul got the if paul wrote the new testament or not Study all these things because you will find the truth as a christian You will find the truth if you are intellectually curious, you will find the truth inshallah I mean, I got it a lot of guys online. We'll see you in future videos inshallah
