My story is now in front of you to read!<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">There is not much to say about my religious background.&nbsp; I was baptized as a Christian Orthodox, yet I rarely entered a church or actually practiced the religion.&nbsp; In Romania, when I was little, religion was a taboo due to the strict Communist rules.&nbsp; Even when Communism fell,I was 11 at the time, many people returned to religion, but my parents continued to neglect it, and the country remained mainly secular.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">The only time Mom would attend church was at a time of a wedding, a funeral, or a baptism of a child.&nbsp; Sometimes she used to take me along to church to light a candle for the dead and the living.&nbsp; Strangely, I never liked the smell of burning candles, nor the general &ldquo;atmosphere&rdquo; in an Orthodox Church.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">In a typical Orthodox Church in my country there are no benches and when there was a sermon, people used to push to be closer to the altar.&nbsp; During the sermon, your legs would hurt so much, that you couldn&rsquo;t concentrate on the sermon anymore.&nbsp; In general, I never liked the sound of a sermon; elders used to gossip, it was crowded, and I never felt any religious &ldquo;call&rdquo; within Christianity.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">Back home, two of my best friends were Muslims, yet not practicing ones.&nbsp; I used to attend a few Muslim weddings! It was an interesting experience.&nbsp; Then, during my university in the United Kingdom, I had classmates from all around the world and some were Muslims.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">By coincidence, I was attracted to my Muslim classmate from Morocco and my other two from Indonesia, simply because they were calm, joyful, down-to-earth persons with interesting hobbies and never used to drinking like most of the students.&nbsp; Personally, I rarely drank alcohol; I can count on my fingers how many times I drank.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">In my last months of my master&rsquo;s degree, I met, by pure coincidence, a wonderful Muslim man who would later become my husband.&nbsp; I reckon everyone reading this would say my conversion to Islam was because of my husband.&nbsp; On the contrary, I believe it was Allah&rsquo;s way and wish to bring this man into my life to guide me to the right path.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">My husband never mentioned Islam and never raised the issue of me converting.&nbsp; I asked him once why he didn&rsquo;t talk about Islam, and he said he believed a person&rsquo;s religious choice should come from the heart, not convinced or forced by others.&nbsp; As long as I was one of the People of the Book [Christians and Jews], he was happy.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">In the time when I was unsatisfied with the overall teachings of Christianity and especially the Orthodox branch of it, I still believed God existed.&nbsp; I was driven to Islam by the fact that its teachings gave me a sense of direction, a sense of belonging to something I originally felt in my heart.&nbsp; I didn&rsquo;t have any financial or sentimental problems.&nbsp; I just simply felt that Islam was what was missing in my life.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">I was at the local Islamic center, in a building with a beautiful minaret, on the seaside, ever since I moved to Qatar (where I now live), I always admired the building; it&rsquo;s simply breathless to me.&nbsp; I thought it was only a mosque, but when later I found out it was actually an Islamic center with a Shari`ah court, I made a promise to myself that if or when I would ever take the Shahadah, it would be in that beautiful building.&nbsp; And Allah answered my wish.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">On the morning of July 30, on the spur of the moment, I just took the car and stopped at the Islamic center and decided to take my Shahadah.&nbsp; My husband didn&rsquo;t know anything at all.&nbsp; He found out afterwards, when I invited him out in town to share with him the big news.&nbsp; He became speechless.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">I can say my family-in-law&rsquo;s reaction took me by surprise.&nbsp; What I wanted to share with my husband went further to my father-in-law and the rest of the family.&nbsp; Happiness and tears of joy were a spontaneous reaction.&nbsp; As for my own parents, in sha&rsquo; Allah, whenever I go back home, there will be a proper time for them to find out and they won&rsquo;t be upset.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">I wish more and more people in my country would go beyond the biased mass media&rsquo;s view on Islam and start reading the Qur&rsquo;an and understand the depth of this beautiful religion called Islam.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">By Allah&rsquo;s will, people will stop finding illegal ways of making more and more money (sometimes at the expense of friendship and moral integrity)and they will stop fighting and there will be peace in the world.&nbsp; By Allah&rsquo;s will, people will start seeking, or will continue, their inner call to religious duty.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">&nbsp;<\/p>","excerpt":"","terms":null,"visibility_roles":"","comment_status":1,"comment_count":0,"read_counter":8878,"lft":3539,"rght":3548,"promote":1,"sticky":0,"status":1,"publish_start":null,"publish_end":null,"created_at":"2014-09-07T03:22:00.000000Z","updated_at":"2026-04-06T20:22:12.000000Z","language_id":1,"user_id":7,"author_id":2484,"publisher_id":0,"category_id":10,"parent_id":null,"author_name":"Lana","category_name":"Why I became a Muslim!","category_slug":"Why-I-became-a-Muslim!","get_date":"2014-09-07","pdf_asset":"http:\/\/www.islamland.com\/uploads\/articles\/en-Lana, Ex- Christian, Romania.pdf","word_asset":"http:\/\/www.islamland.com\/uploads\/articles\/en-Lana, Ex- Christian, Romania.docx"},{"id":1883,"title":"Lana, excristiana, Rumania","slug":"lana-excristiana-rumania","word":"\/uploads\/articles\/sp-Lana, Ex- Christian, Romania.docx","pdf":"\/uploads\/articles\/sp-Lana, Ex- Christian, Romania.pdf","mime_type":null,"type":"node","path":"\/nodes\/view\/type:article\/slug:lana-excristiana-rumania","hint":"","body":"<h1 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span>Lana, excristiana, Rumania<\/span><\/h1>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">&nbsp;<img style=\"display: block;

mi&nbsp;<em>Shahadah<\/em>.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">Creo que era mi destino hacerme musulmana, regresar a mi verdadera religi&oacute;n. Mi historia est&aacute; ahora frente a ti para que la leas.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">No hay mucho qu&eacute; decir sobre mi formaci&oacute;n religiosa. Fui bautizada como cristiana ortodoxa, sin embargo, rara vez entr&eacute; a una iglesia o practiqu&eacute; la religi&oacute;n. En Rumania, cuando era peque&ntilde;a, la religi&oacute;n era tab&uacute; debido a las estrictas leyes comunistas. Incluso cuando el comunismo cay&oacute; &mdash;ten&iacute;a yo 11 a&ntilde;os&mdash; mucha gente regres&oacute; a la religi&oacute;n, pero mis padres siguieron rechaz&aacute;ndola, y el pa&iacute;s se mantuvo mayoritariamente secular.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">Mi mam&aacute; s&oacute;lo asist&iacute;a a la iglesia cuando hab&iacute;a una boda, un funeral o el bautismo de un ni&ntilde;o. A veces me llevaba con ella a la iglesia para encender una vela por los muertos y por los vivos. Curiosamente, nunca me gust&oacute; el olor de las velas encendidas, ni la &ldquo;atm&oacute;sfera&rdquo; en general de una iglesia ortodoxa.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">En una t&iacute;pica iglesia ortodoxa en mi pa&iacute;s no hay asientos, y cuando hay serm&oacute;n, la gente suele empujar para acercarse al altar. Durante el serm&oacute;n, tus piernas te duelen tanto que no puedes concentrarte m&aacute;s en el serm&oacute;n. En general, nunca me gust&oacute; c&oacute;mo suenan los sermones; los ancianos suelen murmurar chismes, hay aglomeraci&oacute;n, y nunca sent&iacute; ninguna &ldquo;llamada&rdquo; religiosa dentro del cristianismo.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">En Rumania, dos de mis mejores amigos eran musulmanes, pero no eran practicantes. &iexcl;Yo sol&iacute;a asistir a algunas bodas musulmanas! Fue una experiencia interesante. Entonces, durante mis estudios universitarios en el Reino Unido, tuve compa&ntilde;eros de clase de todo el mundo, y algunos eran musulmanes.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">Por mera coincidencia, me sent&iacute;a c&oacute;moda con mis compa&ntilde;eros musulmanes de Marruecos e Indonesia, simplemente porque eran personas tranquilas, joviales y con los pies bien puestos en la tierra, con pasatiempos interesantes, que no estaban acostumbrados a beber como los dem&aacute;s estudiantes. Personalmente, rara vez beb&iacute; alcohol, puedo contar con los dedos de mi mano cu&aacute;ntas veces beb&iacute;.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">En mis &uacute;ltimos meses de mi maestr&iacute;a conoc&iacute;, por pura coincidencia, a un musulm&aacute;n maravilloso que m&aacute;s tarde se convertir&iacute;a en mi esposo. Creo que todos los que lean esto dir&aacute;n que mi conversi&oacute;n al Islam se debi&oacute; a mi esposo. Por el contrario, creo que fue el camino y el deseo de Allah traer a este hombre a mi vida para que me guiara por el camino correcto.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">Mi esposo nunca mencion&oacute; el Islam y nunca me plante&oacute; la cuesti&oacute;n de que me convirtiera. Le pregunt&eacute; una vez por qu&eacute; no hablaba sobre el Islam, y dijo que cre&iacute;a que la decisi&oacute;n religiosa de una persona debe provenir de su coraz&oacute;n, no porque otros la convenzan u obliguen. Mientras yo fuera una de la Gente del Libro [cristianos y jud&iacute;os], &eacute;l era feliz.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">Llegado el momento en el que estaba insatisfecha con las ense&ntilde;anzas del cristianismo en general, y especialmente con la rama ortodoxa del mismo, a&uacute;n cre&iacute;a en la existencia de Dios. Fui conducida al Islam por el hecho de que sus ense&ntilde;anzas me dieron un sentido de orientaci&oacute;n, un sentido de pertenencia a algo que hab&iacute;a sentido ya en mi coraz&oacute;n. No tuve ning&uacute;n problema financiero ni sentimental. Simplemente sent&iacute; que el Islam era lo que faltaba en mi vida.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">Estaba en el centro isl&aacute;mico local, en un edificio con un bello minarete, a orillas del mar. Desde que me traslad&eacute; a Qatar (donde vivo ahora), siempre admir&eacute; el edificio, simplemente me deja sin aliento. Pens&eacute; que era s&oacute;lo una mezquita, pero cuando me enter&eacute; que en realidad era un centro isl&aacute;mico con una corte de ley isl&aacute;mica, me hice la promesa a m&iacute; misma de que si alguna vez hac&iacute;a la&nbsp;<em>Shahadah<\/em>ser&iacute;a en ese hermoso edificio. Y Allah respondi&oacute; a mi deseo.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">En la ma&ntilde;ana del 30 de julio, en el impulso del momento, simplemente tom&eacute; el autom&oacute;vil y me detuve en el centro isl&aacute;mico, y decid&iacute; hacer mi&nbsp;<em>Shahadah<\/em>. Mi esposo no sab&iacute;a nada al respecto. Se enter&oacute; despu&eacute;s, cuando lo invit&eacute; a salir para compartirle la gran noticia. Qued&oacute; mudo.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">Puedo decir que la reacci&oacute;n de mi familia pol&iacute;tica me tom&oacute; por sorpresa. Lo que quer&iacute;a compartir con mi esposo fue m&aacute;s all&aacute; hasta mi suegro y el resto de la familia. La felicidad y las l&aacute;grimas de alegr&iacute;a fueron una reacci&oacute;n espont&aacute;nea. En cuanto a mis propios padres,&nbsp;<em>in sha Allah<\/em>, cuando regrese a casa, habr&aacute; un momento propicio para que se enteren y no se molesten.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">Quisiera que m&aacute;s y m&aacute;s gente en mi pa&iacute;s mirara m&aacute;s all&aacute; de lo que muestran los sesgados medios masivos de comunicaci&oacute;n sobre el Islam y comenzaran a leer el Cor&aacute;n y a entender la profundidad de esta bella religi&oacute;n llamada Islam.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">Por la voluntad de Allah, la gente dejar&aacute; de encontrar formas ilegales de hacer m&aacute;s y m&aacute;s dinero (a veces a expensas de la amistad y la integridad moral), y dejar&aacute;n de pelearse, entonces habr&aacute; paz en el mundo. Por la voluntad de Allah, la gente comenzar&aacute; o continuar&aacute; buscando su llamado interior al deber religioso.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">&nbsp;<\/p>","excerpt":"","terms":null,"visibility_roles":"","comment_status":1,"comment_count":0,"read_counter":5159,"lft":3540,"rght":3541,"promote":1,"sticky":0,"status":1,"publish_start":null,"publish_end":null,"created_at":"2014-09-07T03:22:00.000000Z","updated_at":"2026-04-06T12:52:49.000000Z","language_id":12,"user_id":7,"author_id":2484,"publisher_id":0,"category_id":10,"parent_id":1882,"author_name":"Lana","category_name":"Why I became a Muslim!","category_slug":"Why-I-became-a-Muslim!","get_date":"2014-09-07","pdf_asset":"http:\/\/www.islamland.com\/uploads\/articles\/sp-Lana, Ex- Christian, Romania.pdf","word_asset":"http:\/\/www.islamland.com\/uploads\/articles\/sp-Lana, Ex- Christian, Romania.docx"},{"id":1884,"title":"Lana, ex-chr\u00e9tienne, Roumanie","slug":"lana-ex-chrtienne-roumanie","word":"\/uploads\/articles\/fr-Lana, Ex- Christian, Romania.docx","pdf":"\/uploads\/articles\/fr-Lana, Ex- Christian, Romania.pdf","mime_type":null,"type":"node","path":"\/nodes\/view\/type:article\/slug:lana-ex-chrtienne-roumanie","hint":"","body":"<h1 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span>Lana, ex-chr&eacute;tienne, Roumanie<\/span><\/h1>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">&nbsp;<img style=\"display: block;

l&rsquo;islam.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">Je crois qu&rsquo;il s&rsquo;agissait tout simplement de mon destin de devenir musulmane et de retourner &agrave; la religion avec laquelle je suis n&eacute;e.&nbsp; Voici donc mon histoire.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">Il n&rsquo;y a pas grand-chose &agrave; dire sur mon &eacute;ducation religieuse.&nbsp; Je fus baptis&eacute;e chr&eacute;tienne orthodoxe, mais je suis rarement entr&eacute;e dans une &eacute;glise et je n&rsquo;ai pratiquement jamais mis en application les pr&eacute;ceptes de ma religion.&nbsp; En Roumanie, quand j&rsquo;&eacute;tais petite, la religion &eacute;tait taboue &agrave; cause du communisme. &nbsp;Suite &agrave; la chute du communisme (j&rsquo;avais alors 11 ans), plusieurs personnes recommenc&egrave;rent &agrave; pratiquer leur religion, mais mes parents ne les imit&egrave;rent pas et, d&rsquo;une mani&egrave;re g&eacute;n&eacute;rale, le pays demeurait la&iuml;c.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">Les seules fois o&ugrave; j&rsquo;ai vu ma m&egrave;re se rendre &agrave; l&rsquo;&eacute;glise, c&rsquo;&eacute;tait pour un mariage, des fun&eacute;railles ou un bapt&ecirc;me.&nbsp; Il lui arrivait, assez rarement, de me tra&icirc;ner avec elle jusqu&rsquo;&agrave; l&rsquo;&eacute;glise pour aller allumer une bougie &agrave; la m&eacute;moire d&rsquo;un mort ou en l&rsquo;honneur d&rsquo;une personne vivante.&nbsp; &Eacute;trangement, je n&rsquo;ai jamais aim&eacute; la senteur des bougies allum&eacute;es, ni l&rsquo;atmosph&egrave;re g&eacute;n&eacute;rale de l&rsquo;&eacute;glise.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">Dans une &eacute;glise orthodoxe typique, dans mon pays, il n&rsquo;y a pas de bancs; et quand le pr&ecirc;tre prononce un sermon, les gens se bousculent pour se rapprocher de l&rsquo;autel.&nbsp; Durant le sermon, vos jambes deviennent si endolories que vous n&rsquo;arrivez plus &agrave; vous concentrer sur ce que dit le pr&ecirc;tre.&nbsp; Je d&eacute;testais cette atmosph&egrave;re, o&ugrave; les vieux parlaient en m&ecirc;me temps que le pr&ecirc;tre, o&ugrave; les gens se marchaient sur les pieds et o&ugrave; je ne ressentais aucun &laquo;&nbsp;appel&nbsp;&raquo; de Dieu.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">Deux de mes meilleurs amis &eacute;taient musulmans, mais non pratiquants. &nbsp;Je me souviens avoir assist&eacute; &agrave; quelques mariages musulmans, une exp&eacute;rience m&eacute;morable.&nbsp; Puis, lorsque j&rsquo;allai &eacute;tudier au Royaume-Uni, certains de mes coll&egrave;gues de classe &eacute;taient musulmans.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">Je sentais que j&rsquo;avais des affinit&eacute;s avec une coll&egrave;gue de classe marocaine et deux autres coll&egrave;gues, qui venaient d&rsquo;Indon&eacute;sie; elles &eacute;taient calmes, sereines et terre-&agrave;-terre et ne buvaient pas, comme la plupart des &eacute;tudiants.&nbsp; Personnellement, je buvais tr&egrave;s rarement; je peux compter sur mes doigts les fois o&ugrave; j&rsquo;ai consomm&eacute; de l&rsquo;alcool.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">Dans les derniers mois de ma ma&icirc;trise, je fis la connaissance d&rsquo;un merveilleux musulman qui allait plus tard devenir mon mari.&nbsp; Je pr&eacute;sume que tous ceux qui me lisent se diront que je me suis convertie &agrave; cause de mon mari.&nbsp; Mais, au contraire, je crois que c&rsquo;est la fa&ccedil;on qu&rsquo;Allah choisit pour me guider, en amenant cet homme dans ma vie.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">Mon mari ne me parla jamais d&rsquo;islam ni de conversion.&nbsp; Je lui demandai, un jour, pourquoi il ne me parlait pas d&rsquo;islam et il me r&eacute;pondit que selon lui, les choix religieux d&rsquo;une personne devaient venir du c&oelig;ur et non de pression subie par d&rsquo;autres.&nbsp; Tant que je demeurais une personne faisant partie des Gens du Livre (juifs et chr&eacute;tiens), il &eacute;tait heureux.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">Tout ce temps durant lequel j&rsquo;avais &eacute;t&eacute; insatisfaite du christianisme, je n&rsquo;avais jamais cess&eacute; de croire en Dieu.&nbsp; Je fus donc attir&eacute;e par l&rsquo;islam d&rsquo;abord et avant tout parce que cette religion me montrait une voie tr&egrave;s claire &agrave; suivre, m&rsquo;apportait un sentiment d&rsquo;appartenance et me ramenait aux croyances profondes que j&rsquo;avais toujours eues, au fond de mon c&oelig;ur.&nbsp; Je n&rsquo;avais ni probl&egrave;mes financiers ni probl&egrave;mes sentimentaux.&nbsp; Mais je ressentais pourtant un vide et je savais que c&rsquo;&eacute;tait l&rsquo;islam qui manquait &agrave; ma vie.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">Avec mon mari, nous all&acirc;mes nous installer au Qatar (o&ugrave; nous vivons pr&eacute;sentement).&nbsp; Un jour, j&rsquo;allai visiter le centre islamique, un b&acirc;timent avec un tr&egrave;s beau minaret, en bordure de mer, un endroit que je trouve &eacute;mouvant par sa beaut&eacute;. &nbsp;Je croyais, au d&eacute;part, que ce n&rsquo;&eacute;tait qu&rsquo;une mosqu&eacute;e, mais je d&eacute;couvris plus tard qu&rsquo;il s&rsquo;agissait d&rsquo;un centre islamique complet, comprenant un tribunal islamique. &nbsp;Je me promis &agrave; moi-m&ecirc;me que si jamais je me convertissais, ce serait en ces lieux.&nbsp; Et Allah exau&ccedil;a mon v&oelig;u.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">Au matin du 30 juillet, sur un coup de t&ecirc;te, je partis en voiture et me rendis au centre islamique, o&ugrave;

In Rum&auml;nien, als ich klein war, war Religion aufgrund der strengen kommunistischen Gesetze ein Tabu.&nbsp; Selbst als der Kommunismus fiel, ich war zu jener Zeit 11 Jahre alt, und viele Menschen sich wieder der Religion zuwandten, verleugneten meine Eltern sie weiterhin und das Land blieb haupts&auml;chlich s&auml;kular.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">Die einzigen Male, dass Mama zu Kirche ging, waren zu einer Hochzeit, einer Beerdigung oder einer Kindestaufe. &nbsp;Manchmal nahm sie mich mit zur und z&uuml;ndete eine Kerze f&uuml;r die Toten oder die Lebenden an.&nbsp; Seltsamerweise mochte ich den Geruch von brennenden Kerzen nie, ebenso wenig wie die allgemeine &bdquo;Atmosph&auml;re&ldquo; in einer orthodoxen Kirche.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">In einer typischen orthodoxen Kirche meines Landes gibt es keine B&auml;nke und wenn eine Predigt gehalten wird, pflegten die Menschen zu dr&auml;ngeln, um n&auml;her am Altar zu sein.&nbsp; W&auml;hrend der Predigt schmerzen deine Beine so sehr, dass du dich nicht mehr konzentrieren kannst.&nbsp; Allgemein habe ich den Klang der Predigt nie gemocht; &Auml;ltere pflegten zu tratschen, es war &uuml;berf&uuml;llt und ich habe nie irgendeinen religi&ouml;sen &bdquo;Ruf&ldquo; im Christentum versp&uuml;rt.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">Zur&uuml;ck zuhause waren zwei von meinen besten Freunden Muslime, wenn auch keine Praktizierenden. &nbsp;Ich hatte an einigen muslimischen Hochzeiten teilgenommen!&nbsp; Es war eine interessante Erfahrung.&nbsp; Dann w&auml;hrend meiner Zeit an der Universit&auml;t in England hatte ich Klassenkameraden aus der ganzen Welt und einige waren Muslime.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">Zuf&auml;llig f&uuml;hlte ich mich zu meinem muslimischen Klassenkameraden aus Marokko und zu zwei weiteren aus Indonesien hingezogen, einfach weil sie ruhige, freudige und bodenst&auml;ndige Personen mit interessanten Hobbys waren und nie tranken, so wie es die anderen Studenten taten. &nbsp;Ich pers&ouml;nlich habe nur selten Alkohol getrunken; ich kann an meinen Fingern abz&auml;hlen, wie oft ich getrunken habe.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">In den letzten Monaten bis zum Master Abschluss traf ich rein zuf&auml;llig einen wundervollen muslimischen Mann, der sp&auml;ter mein Ehemann werden sollte. &nbsp;Ich sch&auml;tze, jeder, der dies liest wird vermuten, ich sei wegen meines Ehemannes zum Islam konvertiert.&nbsp; Im Gegenteil, ich glaube, es war Allahs Weg und Wunsch, diesen Mann in mein Leben zu bringen, um mich auf den richtigen Weg zu f&uuml;hren.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">Mein Ehemann hat den Islam nie erw&auml;hnt und nie das Thema konvertieren ins Gespr&auml;ch gebracht. &nbsp;Ich habe ihn einmal gefragt, warum er nicht &uuml;ber den Islam sprach, da sagte er, er denke, die Wahl der Religion sollte eine Angelegenheit sein, die vom Herzen komme, nicht durch die &Uuml;berzeugung oder den Zwang durch andere. &nbsp;Solange ich zu den Leuten der Schrift geh&ouml;re, [Christen und Juden], sei er gl&uuml;cklich.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">In jener Zeit war ich mit dem Christentum und besonders mit dem orthodoxen Zweig davon unzufrieden, ich glaubte jedoch noch immer, dass Gott existierte. &nbsp;Ich wurde zum Islam hingezogen durch die Tatsache, dass seine Lehren einen Sinn ergaben,&nbsp; indem sie eine Richtung vorgeben, einen Sinn zu etwas zu geh&ouml;ren, dass ich in meinem Herzen f&uuml;hlte.&nbsp; Ich hatte keinerlei finanziellen oder sentimentalen Probleme.&nbsp; Ich f&uuml;hlte einfach nur, dass der Islam das war, das mir in meinem Leben fehlte.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">Ich war im &ouml;rtlichen islamischen Zentrum, einem Geb&auml;ude mit einem wundersch&ouml;nen Minarett, an der K&uuml;ste; wo ich lebe, seit ich nach Qatar gezogen bin, wohne, habe ich das Geb&auml;ude immer bewundert; es macht mich einfach atemlos.&nbsp; Ich dachte, es sei nur eine Moschee, aber als ich sp&auml;ter herausfand, dass es ein Islamisches Zentrum mit einem Schari&acute;ah Gerichtshof ist, nahm ich mir fest vor, dass wenn ich jemals die Schahada aussprechen sollte, es dann in diesem wundervollen Geb&auml;ude tun wollte.&nbsp; &nbsp;Und Allah gew&auml;hrte mir meinen Wunsch.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">Am Morgen des 30.Juli im Bruchteil eines Augenblicks nahm ich das Auto und hielt am islamischen Zentrum und entschloss mich, meine Schahada auszusprechen.&nbsp; Mein Ehemann wusste &uuml;berhaupt nichts davon.&nbsp; Er fand es sp&auml;ter heraus, als ich ihn in die Stadt einlud, um die gro&szlig;en Neuigkeiten mit mir zu teilen.&nbsp; Er war sprachlos.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">Ich kann sagen, die Reaktion meiner Schwiegereltern &uuml;berraschte mich. &nbsp;Was ich mit meinem Ehemann teilen wollte, ging weiter zu meinem Schwiegervater und dem Rest der Familie.&nbsp; Freude und Tr&auml;nen waren die spontane Reaktion.&nbsp; Was meine eigenen Eltern betrifft, in scha Allah, wenn ich irgendwann nach Hause zur&uuml;ckkehre, wird es einen guten Zeitpunkt geben, an dem sie es erfahren und sie werden nicht aufgebracht sein.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">Ich w&uuml;nschte mehr und mehr Menschen in meinem Land w&uuml;rden &uuml;ber die voreingenommenen Ansichten der Massenmedien &uuml;ber den Islam hinweg sehen und anfangen, den Qur&acute;an zu lesen und den Tiefgang dieser wunderbaren Religion namens Islam zu verstehen.&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">Mit dem Willen Allahs werden die Menschen damit aufh&ouml;ren, immer mehr illegale Wege zu finden, wie man mehr und mehr Geld machen kann (manchmal auf Kosten von Freundschaft und moralischer Integrit&auml;t), und sie werden aufh&ouml;ren zu k&auml;mpfen, und es wird Frieden in der Welt geben. &nbsp;Mit dem Willen Allahs werden die Menschen anfangen, zu suchen, oder sie werden weiter ihrem inneren Ruf zu ihren religi&ouml;sen Pflichten folgen.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">&nbsp;<\/p>","excerpt":"","terms":null,"visibility_roles":"","comment_status":1,"comment_count":0,"read_counter":5646,"lft":3544,"rght":3545,"promote":1,"sticky":0,"status":1,"publish_start":null,"publish_end":null,"created_at":"2014-09-07T03:22:00.000000Z","updated_at":"2026-04-06T20:40:52.000000Z","language_id":7,"user_id":7,"author_id":2484,"publisher_id":0,"category_id":10,"parent_id":1882,"author_name":"Lana","category_name":"Why I became a Muslim!","category_slug":"Why-I-became-a-Muslim!","get_date":"2014-09-07","pdf_asset":"http:\/\/www.islamland.com\/uploads\/articles\/de-Lana, Ex- Christian, Romania.pdf","word_asset":"http:\/\/www.islamland.com\/uploads\/articles\/de-Lana, Ex- Christian, Romania.docx"},{"id":1886,"title":"Lana, Ex-Crist\u00e3, Rom\u00eania","slug":"lana-ex-crist-romnia","word":"\/uploads\/articles\/pt-Lana, Ex- Christian, Romania.docx","pdf":"\/uploads\/articles\/pt-Lana, Ex- Christian, Romania.pdf","mime_type":null,"type":"node","path":"\/nodes\/view\/type:article\/slug:lana-ex-crist-romnia","hint":"","body":"<h1 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span>Lana, Ex-Crist&atilde;, Rom&ecirc;nia<\/span><\/h1>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">&nbsp;<img style=\"display: block;

meu destino, tornar-me mu&ccedil;ulmana, para retornar para minha verdadeira religi&atilde;o.&nbsp;&nbsp;Minha hist&oacute;ria agora est&aacute; diante de voc&ecirc; para ser lida!<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">N&atilde;o h&aacute; muito a dizer sobre meu hist&oacute;rico religioso.&nbsp; Fui batizada como crist&atilde; ortodoxa e, ainda assim, raramente entrava em uma igreja ou praticava de fato a religi&atilde;o.&nbsp;&nbsp;Na Rom&ecirc;nia, quando era pequena, a religi&atilde;o era tabu devido &agrave;s normas comunistas restritas.&nbsp; Mesmo quando o Comunismo caiu, eu estava com 11 anos na &eacute;poca, muitas pessoas retornaram para a religi&atilde;o, mas meus pais continuaram a negligenci&aacute;-la e o pa&iacute;s permaneceu majoritariamente secular.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">As &uacute;nicas vezes que minha m&atilde;e frequentava a igreja era em &eacute;poca de casamento, funeral ou batismo de uma crian&ccedil;a.&nbsp; &Agrave;s vezes ela costumava me levar com ela para a igreja, acender uma vela para os mortos e os vivos.&nbsp; Estranhamente nunca gostei do cheiro das velas queimando, nem da &ldquo;atmosfera&rdquo; geral na igreja ortodoxa.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">Em uma igreja ortodoxa t&iacute;pica em meu pa&iacute;s n&atilde;o h&aacute; bancos e quando havia um serm&atilde;o as pessoas costumavam empurrar para ficarem mais pr&oacute;ximas do altar.&nbsp;Durante o serm&atilde;o as pernas do&iacute;am tanto que n&atilde;o era poss&iacute;vel concentrar no serm&atilde;o.&nbsp; Em geral, nunca gostei do som de um serm&atilde;o; os mais velhos fofocavam, era cheio, e nunca senti qualquer &ldquo;chamado&rdquo; religioso dentro do Cristianismo.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">Dois de meus melhores amigos eram mu&ccedil;ulmanos, apesar de n&atilde;o serem praticantes.&nbsp;&nbsp;Costumava participar de uns poucos casamentos isl&acirc;micos!&nbsp;Era uma experi&ecirc;ncia interessante.&nbsp;&nbsp;Ent&atilde;o, durante minha universidade no Reino Unido, tinha colegas de classe do mundo todo e alguns eram mu&ccedil;ulmanos.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">Por coincid&ecirc;ncia, era pr&oacute;xima de meu colega de classe mu&ccedil;ulmano do Marrocos e meus outros dois da Indon&eacute;sia simplesmente porque eram pessoas calmas, alegres e p&eacute;s no ch&atilde;o com hobbies interessantes e nunca bebiam como a maioria dos estudantes.&nbsp;&nbsp;Pessoalmente raramente bebia &aacute;lcool; posso contar nos dedos quantas vezes bebi.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">Nos &uacute;ltimos meses de meu mestrado encontrei, por pura coincid&ecirc;ncia, um maravilhoso mu&ccedil;ulmano que mais tarde se tornaria meu marido.&nbsp; Calculo que todos lendo isso dir&atilde;o que minha convers&atilde;o ao Isl&atilde; foi por causa de meu marido.&nbsp; Ao contr&aacute;rio, acredito que foi a maneira e desejo de Allah trazer esse homem para minha vida para me guiar para o caminho certo.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">Meu marido nunca mencionou o Isl&atilde; e nunca levantou a quest&atilde;o de me converter.&nbsp;&nbsp;Perguntei a ele uma vez por que ele n&atilde;o falava sobre o Isl&atilde; e ele disse acreditar que a escolha religiosa de uma pessoa deve vir do cora&ccedil;&atilde;o, n&atilde;o convencida ou for&ccedil;ada por outros.&nbsp;&nbsp;Desde que eu fosse do Povo do Livro [crist&atilde;os e judeus] ele estava feliz.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">Na &eacute;poca em que n&atilde;o estava satisfeita com os ensinamentos do Cristianismo e especialmente com o ramo ortodoxo, continuava acreditando que Deus existia.&nbsp;Fui impelida para o Isl&atilde; pelo fato de seus ensinamentos me darem um senso de dire&ccedil;&atilde;o, um senso de pertencimento a algo que originalmente sentia em meu cora&ccedil;&atilde;o.&nbsp; N&atilde;o tinha problemas financeiros ou sentimentais.&nbsp; Simplesmente sentia que o Isl&atilde; era o que faltava em minha vida.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">Estava no centro isl&acirc;mico local, em um pr&eacute;dio com um belo minarete, perto do mar. Desde que me mudei para o Qatar (onde moro agora), sempre admirei o pr&eacute;dio. &Eacute; simplesmente de tirar o f&ocirc;lego.&nbsp;&nbsp;Pensei que fosse apenas uma mesquita, mas quando descobri depois que era de fato um centro isl&acirc;mico com uma corte de Sharia, prometi a mim mesma que se ou quando fizesse a Shahada, seria naquele belo pr&eacute;dio.&nbsp; E Allah atendeu meu desejo.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">Na manh&atilde; de 30 de julho, no calor do momento, peguei o carro, parei no centro isl&acirc;mico e decidi fazer minha Shahada.&nbsp;&nbsp;Meu marido n&atilde;o sabia de nada.&nbsp;Soube depois, quando o convidei para sair e compartilhar com ele a grande not&iacute;cia.&nbsp;&nbsp;Ele ficou sem palavras.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">Posso dizer que a rea&ccedil;&atilde;o da fam&iacute;lia de meu marido me pegou de surpresa.&nbsp;&nbsp;O que queria compartilhar com meu marido continuou com meu sogro e o resto da fam&iacute;lia.&nbsp; Felicidade e l&aacute;grimas de alegria foram uma rea&ccedil;&atilde;o espont&acirc;nea.&nbsp;&nbsp;Quanto aos meus pr&oacute;prios pais, insh'Allah, quando voltar para casa haver&aacute; um momento adequado para eles descobrirem e n&atilde;o ficar&atilde;o chateados.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">Desejo que mais e mais pessoas em meu pa&iacute;s consigam ir al&eacute;m da vis&atilde;o preconceituosa sobre o Isl&atilde; da m&iacute;dia de massa e comecem a ler o Alcor&atilde;o e compreender a profundidade dessa bela religi&atilde;o chamada Isl&atilde;.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">Pela vontade de Allah as pessoas parar&atilde;o de encontrar formas ilegais de ganhar cada vez mais dinheiro (algumas vezes &agrave; custa de amigos e integridade moral) e parar&atilde;o de brigar e haver&aacute; paz no mundo.&nbsp; Pela vontade de Allah as pessoas come&ccedil;ar&atilde;o a buscar ou continuar&atilde;o seu chamado interno para o dever religioso.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">&nbsp;<\/p>","excerpt":"","terms":null,"visibility_roles":"","comment_status":1,"comment_count":0,"read_counter":9280,"lft":3546,"rght":3547,"promote":1,"sticky":0,"status":1,"publish_start":null,"publish_end":null,"created_at":"2014-09-07T03:22:00.000000Z","updated_at":"2026-04-06T19:47:15.000000Z","language_id":15,"user_id":7,"author_id":2484,"publisher_id":0,"category_id":10,"parent_id":1882,"author_name":"Lana","category_name":"Why I became a Muslim!","category_slug":"Why-I-became-a-Muslim!","get_date":"2014-09-07","pdf_asset":"http:\/\/www.islamland.com\/uploads\/articles\/pt-Lana, Ex- Christian, Romania.pdf","word_asset":"http:\/\/www.islamland.com\/uploads\/articles\/pt-Lana, Ex- Christian, Romania.docx"}],"first_page_url":"http:\/\/www.islamland.com\/index.php\/esp\/api\/authors\/2484?articles_page=1","from":1,"last_page":1,"last_page_url":"http:\/\/www.islamland.com\/index.php\/esp\/api\/authors\/2484?articles_page=1","links":[{"url":null,"label":"&laquo; Previous","page":null,"active":false},{"url":"http:\/\/www.islamland.com\/index.php\/esp\/api\/authors\/2484?articles_page=1","label":"1","page":1,"active":true},{"url":null,"label":"Next &raquo;","page":null,"active":false}],"next_page_url":null,"path":"http:\/\/www.islamland.com\/index.php\/esp\/api\/authors\/2484","per_page":25,"prev_page_url":null,"to":5,"total":5},"fatawas":{"current_page":1,"data":[],"first_page_url":"http:\/\/www.islamland.com\/index.php\/esp\/api\/authors\/2484?fatawas_page=1","from":null,"last_page":1,"last_page_url":"http:\/\/www.islamland.com\/index.php\/esp\/api\/authors\/2484?fatawas_page=1","links":[{"url":null,"label":"&laquo; Previous","page":null,"active":false},{"url":"http:\/\/www.islamland.com\/index.php\/esp\/api\/authors\/2484?fatawas_page=1","label":"1","page":1,"active":true},{"url":null,"label":"Next &raquo;","page":null,"active":false}],"next_page_url":null,"path":"http:\/\/www.islamland.com\/index.php\/esp\/api\/authors\/2484","per_page":25,"prev_page_url":null,"to":null,"total":0},"books_total":0,"videos_total":0,"audios_total":0,"fatawas_total":0,"articles_total":5,"q":"","count":5}
