A Muslim at Thirteen!<\/span><\/h1>\r\n

\"\"
<\/span><\/h1>\r\n

 <\/p>\r\n

Eesa was only thirteen years old when he became a Muslim.  Before Islam, when he was still a ten-year-old child he had a normal life of going to school and hanging out with his friends.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Then in secondary school his cousin, who was fifteen years old at the time, embraced Islam and she used to come around to the house and tell his family about Islam.  The family members all had different opinions and there were many debates but he was quiet and simply listened.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

One day when he was at home she called and asked him to come to her house which was about a 15 minutes walk away.  This was his aunt's house.  His cousin showed him the Quran and asked him if he knew what it was, at which he said he didn’t. She explained that as the Christians have the Bible, the Muslims have the Qur’an.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

He admitted that he did not know anything about Islam or Muslims.  He only knew what his mother had taught him about Christianity.  His cousin spoke to him about Almighty Allah and Prophet Muhammad saying that he was the Messenger from Allah and that he had brought the Quran from Almighty Allah. She clarified that Muhammad, may the mercy and blessings of God be upon him, did not write it; rather it was a revelation revealed to him.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

It was the scientific miracles in the Quran that caught his attention.   What stood out for him, were the facts and figures mentioned in the Quran. It was simply amazing to read the details mentioned in the Quran about  the formation of the baby in the mother’s womb, the stars, the oceans and how science today acknowledges all these facts.  He was blown away by this; he didn’t know that there were people long ago who accurately talked about the stars and so on.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Praying five times a day, following the dietary code, and the dress code wasn’t difficult.  After his cousin explained the basics of Islam, he started reading about prayers and the dress code and he decided that he would concentrate on one thing at a time.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

He began his journey into Islam by starting with the most important thing, the prayers.  He had basic books with Arabic transliterations and diagrams of stick figures. Since then, a lot more material has become available to help new Muslims.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

At first, he did not tell anyone he had become a Muslim because he felt he was not ready to face the comments and criticism.  Even at this point, he did not know exactly what Islam meant.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

As the years passed and he travelled from country to country, he was fortunate to have studied in Egypt and Yemen where he learnt about the vastness and mercy of Islam.  But back then, he thought he would keep his conversion secret and to himself for a while.  He did not know anyone else who was Muslim except his cousin.  He got books on monotheism from the local Islamic book shop and books on prayer, fasting, the life of the Prophet and the Companions as well as the four rightly-guided Caliphs.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

After three or four months he attended a talk at the house of Abdur-Raheem Green in South London. He listened attentively and It was there that he learnt many of the basics of Islam.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Growing up a Muslim got Eesa through school and college without getting into any trouble!  He noted that it is very easy to get involved in the wrong crowd but all he could think of when he was young was if he had performed ablution to be ready for prayer or when the next prayer was due.  Such concerns filled his mind while everyone else at school or in his neighborhood were talking about a rave or other insignificant things.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

When he turned fifteen, he decided to speak to others about his conversion to Islam.  He had a friend who also became a Muslim and the two of them were in their own little world. They hung around together and even went to the Mosque together.  They often got into trouble for leaving the school in order to attend the Friday Prayer.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Despite his young age, Eesa did not think Islam was strict; he found that it just made sense.  He understood why alcohol was prohibited.   It made sense to him that people should not drink because he could see all the harm that came from it.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Some may believe that becoming a Muslim at such a young age would indefinitely isolate a person from non-Muslims, but with Eesa this was not the case, he interacted and functioned normally, but there was always a line he would not cross. He would not join classmates and in when they would want to engage in something that went against his beliefs and in wrong activities such as raves and what not. When his non-Muslim class-mates invited him to such events he would give a number of excuses and not attend.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Finally here are a few words from brother Eesa:<\/span><\/p>\r\n

 “I suggest that new Muslims should do some research on the lives of the Companions and see how they put Islam into practice.  The Companions received Islam from the hands of the Prophet. You can find real information on Islam but you have to search and you should not be lazy.  The best place to get knowledge and be sure it is the right knowledge, is to read the Quran and then look to the Hadith, especially Bukhari and Muslim.”<\/span><\/p>","excerpt":"","terms":null,"visibility_roles":"","comment_status":1,"comment_count":0,"read_counter":15521,"lft":2749,"rght":2758,"promote":1,"sticky":0,"status":1,"publish_start":null,"publish_end":null,"created_at":"2014-08-25T03:20:00.000000Z","updated_at":"2026-04-04T00:57:27.000000Z","language_id":1,"user_id":7,"author_id":2239,"publisher_id":0,"category_id":10,"parent_id":null,"author_name":"Selma Cook","category_name":"Why I became a Muslim!","category_slug":"Why-I-became-a-Muslim!","get_date":"2014-08-25","pdf_asset":"http:\/\/www.islamland.com\/uploads\/articles\/en-A Muslim at Thirteen.pdf","word_asset":"http:\/\/www.islamland.com\/uploads\/articles\/en-A Muslim at Thirteen.docx"},{"id":1486,"title":"Converti \u00e0 l\u2019islam \u00e0 treize ans","slug":"converti--lislam--treize-ans","word":"\/uploads\/articles\/fr-A Muslim at Thirteen.docx","pdf":"\/uploads\/articles\/fr-A Muslim at Thirteen.pdf","mime_type":null,"type":"node","path":"\/nodes\/view\/type:article\/slug:converti--lislam--treize-ans","hint":"","body":"

Converti à l’islam à treize ans<\/span><\/h1>\r\n

 \"\"<\/p>\r\n

Eesa n’avait que treize ans lorsqu’il s’est converti à l’islam.  Avant cela, il menait la vie typique d’un garçon de son âge, fréquentait l’école, passait du temps avec ses amis, etc.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Puis, à l’école secondaire, sa cousine, qui avait alors quinze ans, se convertit à l’islam.  Elle venait parfois leur rendre visite, à lui et sa famille, et leur parlait de sa nouvelle religion.  Les membres de la famille d’Eesa avaient chacun sa propre opinion sur le sujet et plusieurs débats eurent lieu, mais la plupart du temps, Eesa les écoutait en silence.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Un jour, sa cousine l’appela et l’invita à venir chez elle.  La maison de sa tante (la mère de sa cousine) était à quinze minutes de marche de chez lui.  Sa cousine lui montra le Coran et lui demanda s’il savait ce que c’était, ce à quoi il répondit par la négative.  Elle lui dit que comme les chrétiens ont la Bible, les musulmans ont le Coran.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Il reconnut ne rien connaître sur l’islam ou sur les musulmans.  Il ne connaissait que ce que sa mère lui avait enseigné sur le christianisme.  Sa cousine lui parla d’Allah et du prophète Mohammed, Son messager.  Elle lui expliqua que Mohammed (que la paix et les bénédictions de Dieu soient sur lui) n’avait pas écrit le Coran, mais qu’il l’avait transmis après qu’il lui eût été révélé.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Ce sont les miracles scientifiques du Coran qui retinrent son attention.  Il fut très étonné d’y découvrir des détails sur le développement du fœtus, sur les étoiles, les océans, etc, et d’apprendre que la science moderne confirme bel et bien ces détails.  Cet aspect de l’islam le laissa stupéfait; il ignorait qu’il fut possible de savoir ces choses à une époque aussi reculée.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Prier cinq fois par jour, respecter les restrictions alimentaires et le code vestimentaire ne fut pas difficile pour lui.  Après que sa cousine lui eut expliqué les fondements de l’islam, il se dit qu’il prendrait une chose à la fois, que rien ne servait de tout bousculer.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Il entama sa vie de musulman en se concentrant sur le plus important, c’est-à-dire les prières.  Il s’était procuré des livres avec la translitération arabe et des diagrammes pour mieux comprendre.  Mais de nos jours, les nouveaux convertis ont accès à beaucoup plus de ressources pour apprendre l’islam.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Au début, il ne dit à personne qu’il était devenu musulman, par crainte des critiques et des commentaires négatifs.  Au fond de lui, il n’était même pas certain de pouvoir expliquer ce qu’était l’islam, exactement.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Au fil des ans, il voyagea dans plusieurs pays et eut la chance d’étudier en Égypte et au Yémen, où il apprit l’islam de manière beaucoup plus approfondie.  Mais, pour revenir à la période de sa conversion, il avait donc décidé de garder le tout secret, du moins temporairement.  Il ne connaissait aucun autre musulman à part sa cousine.  Il trouva des livres sur le monothéisme, la prière, le jeûne, la vie du Prophète, des compagnons et des quatre premiers califes de l’islam à la librairie islamique de son quartier.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Trois ou quatre mois plus tard, il assista à un petit rassemblement chez Abdur-Raheem Green, au sud de Londres.  Il écouta attentivement le sermon prononcé par Green et en apprit beaucoup sur les fondements de l’islam.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Eesa croit que le fait d’être musulman l’a aidé à passer au travers ses années d’école et d’université sans jamais avoir de problèmes.  Il souligne qu’il est très facile de se mêler aux mauvaises personnes.  Mais, adolescent, il était si concentré sur ses prières et ses ablutions qu’il ne laissait pas son esprit vagabonder dans toutes les directions ni s’attarder à des choses insignifiantes.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

À l’âge de quinze ans, il décida enfin de parler ouvertement de sa conversion.  Il s’était fait un ami converti comme lui et les deux vivaient dans leur petit monde bien à eux.  Ils sortaient ensemble et allaient ensemble à la mosquée.  Et le seul problème qu’ils connurent, à l’école, eut trait au fait de quitter les cours pour se rendre à la prière du vendredi.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Malgré son jeune âge, jamais Eesa ne sentit que l’islam était un mode de vie trop strict.  Au contraire, il trouvait que tout avait beaucoup de sens.  Il comprenait pourquoi l’alcool était interdit; il avait trop souvent vu les dégâts causés par la surconsommation d’alcool, autour de lui.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Certains croiront que le fait de devenir musulman à un si jeune âge ne peut que contribuer à isoler le jeune des non-musulmans de son entourage.  Mais Eesa assure que ce ne fut pas le cas; il estime qu’il interagissait de façon tout à fait normale avec les autres, mais il y avait toujours une limite qu’il ne dépassait jamais.  Par exemple, il n’imitait pas ses copains de classe lorsque ceux-ci participaient à des activités qui allaient à l’encontre de ses croyances.  Lorsque ses copains l’invitaient à faire la fête, il leur donnait toutes sortes d’excuses pour se défiler.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Enfin, voici quelques mots de la part d’Eesa :<\/span><\/p>\r\n

 « Je suggère aux nouveaux musulmans de lire sur la vie des compagnons du Prophète et d’observer la façon dont ils mettaient l’islam en pratique.  Les compagnons reçurent la révélation de la bouche même du Prophète.  Ne soyez pas paresseux dans vos recherches sur l’islam; le meilleur endroit où trouver des informations authentiques est le Coran, puis les hadiths, surtout ceux de Boukhari et Mouslim. »<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Ein Muslim mit dreizehn!<\/span><\/h1>\r\n

 \"\"<\/span><\/p>\r\n

 <\/p>\r\n

Eesa war erst dreizehn, als er Muslim wurde.  Vor dem Islam, als er erst zehn Jahre alt war, führte er ein ganz normales Leben, ging zur Schule und hing mit seinen Freunden herum.  <\/span><\/p>\r\n

Dann als er an der weiterführenden Schule war, nahm seine Kousine, die zu jener Zeit fünfzehn war, den Islam an, und sie kam häufiger zu ihm nach Hause, um seiner Familie vom Islam zu erzählen.  Die Mitglieder seiner Familie hatten unterschiedliche Ansichten über den Islam, und es gab viele Debatten, er jedoch blieb still und hörte einfach zu.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Eines Tages als er zu Hause war, rief sie an und bat ihn, zu ihrem Haus zu kommen, das ungefähr 15 Minuten Fußweg entfernt war.  Es war das Haus seiner Tante.  Seine Kousine zeigte ihm den Qur' an und fragte ihn, ob er wisse, was das ist, worauf er antwortete, das er es nicht wisse. Sie erklärte, so wie die Christen die Bibel haben, haben die Muslime den Qur´an. <\/span><\/p>\r\n

Er gab zu, dass er überhaupt nichts über den Islam oder Muslime wusste.  Er wusste nur, was ihm seine Mutter über das Christentum beigebracht hatte.  Seine Kousine sprach mit ihm über Allah, den Allmächtigen und über den Propheten Muhammad, indem sie sagte, er war der Gesandte Allahs und er hat den Qur´an von Allah, den Allmächtigen, gebracht.  Sie erklärte, dass Muhammad, Gottes Segen und Frieden seien auf ihm, ihn nicht geschrieben hatte; er war eine Offenbarung, die ihm zuteil geworden war. <\/span><\/p>\r\n

Die wissenschaftlichen Wunder im Qur´an waren es, die ihn in den Bann zogen.  Was ihm auffiel, waren die Fakten und Gestalten, die im Qur´an erwähnt werden.  Es war einfach erstaunlich, die Einzelheiten über die Entwicklung des Babys in der Gebärmutter, über die Sterne, die Meere, die im Qur´an erwähnt werden, zu lesen und wie die Wissenschaft von heute alle diese Fakten anerkennt.  Er war tief beeindruckt; er hatte nicht gewusst, dass es vor so langer Zeit Leute gegeben hatte, die genauestens über die Sterne und so weiter gesprochen hatten. <\/span><\/p>\r\n

Fünfmal täglich beten, die Essensregeln einhalten und die Bekleidungsvorschriften – das war nicht schwer.  Nachdem seine Kousine ihm die Grundlagen des Islam erklärt hatte, begann er, über die Gebete und die Bekleidungsvorschriften zu lesen und er entschied sich, sich auf eine Sache nach der anderen zu konzentrieren. <\/span><\/p>\r\n

Er begann seine Reise in den Islam, indem er mit dem wichtigsten anfing: den Gebeten.  Er hatte Bücher mit arabischer Umschrift und Diagrammen mit Strichmännchen.  Seitdem gibt es eine Menge mehr Material, das neuen Muslimen hilft. <\/span><\/p>\r\n

Zuerst hatte er niemandem erzählt, dass er Muslim geworden war, denn er war noch nicht so weit, Kommentaren und Kritik gegenüberzutreten.  Selbst an dieser Stelle wusste er noch nicht genau, was Islam bedeutet. <\/span><\/p>\r\n

Die Jahre vergingen und er reiste von Land zu Land, er hatte das Glück, in Ägypten und Jemen zu studieren, wo er von der weitreichenden Gnade des Islam lernte.  <\/span><\/p>\r\n

Aber am Anfang dachte er, er würde seine Konversion geheim und eine Weile für sich behalten.  Er kannte keinen anderen Muslim außer seine Kousine.  Er bekam Bücher über Monotheismus in der örtlichen islamischen Buchhandlung, ebenso über das Gebet, Fasten, das Leben des Propheten, der Gefährten und auch der vier rechtgeleiteten Khalifen.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Nach drei oder vier Monaten nahm er an einem Vortrag im Hause von Abdur-Raheem Green im Süden Londons teil.  Er hörte aufmerksam zu und dort lernte er vieles über die Grundlagen des Islam.  <\/span><\/p>\r\n

Er wurde als Muslim größer und besuchte Schule und College ohne Schwierigkeiten!  Er bemerkte, dass es sehr leicht war, in die falsche Menge zu geraten, doch alles, woran er dachte, war, dass er pünktlich die Waschung vornehmen musste, um bereit zu sein, wenn das nächste Gebet fällig war.  Solche Sorgen erfüllten seine Gedanken, während jeder andere in der Schule oder in seiner Nachbarschaft über eine Fete oder andere unwichtige Dinge sprach. <\/span><\/p>\r\n

Als er fünfzehn wurde, enschloss er sich, mit anderen über seine Konversion zum Islam zu reden.  Er hatte einen Freund, der ebenfalls Muslim wurde, und die beiden lebten in ihrer eigenen kleinen Welt.  Sie hingen zusammen herum und gingen sogar gemeinsam zur Moschee.  Sie bekamen oft Ärger, weil sie die Schule verließen, um am Freitagsgebet teilzunehmen. <\/span><\/p>\r\n

Trotz seines Alters dachte Eesa nicht, dass der Islam streng sei; er fand einfach, es macht Sinn.  Er verstand, warum Alkohol verboten war.  Es machte Sinn, dass Menschen nicht trinken sollten, denn er sah den Schaden, der davon ausging.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Einige könnten denken, dass wenn jemand so jung Muslim wird, dies eine Person unweigerlich von den Nicht-Muslimen isolieren würde, aber bei Eesa war das nicht der Fall, er war ganz normal, aber es gab eine Linie, die er nie überschritt.  Er begleitete seine Klassenkameraden nicht, wenn sie etwas tun wollten, was gegen seinen Glauben sprach oder bei verkehrten Aktivitäten wie Feten und anderem.  Wenn seine nicht-muslimischen Klassenkameraden ihn zu solchen Ereignissen einluden, gab er ihnen eine Reihe von Entschuldigungen und kam nicht. <\/span><\/p>\r\n

Zum Abschluss ein paar Worte von Bruder Eesa:<\/span><\/p>\r\n

 “Ich würde neuen Muslimen empfehlen, einige Nachforschungen über das Leben der Gefährten anzustellen und zu sehen, wie sie den Islam in die Tat umgesetzt haben.  Die Gefährten haben den Islam aus erster Hand vom Propheten erhalten.  Du kannst richtige Informationen über den Islam finden, aber du musst suchen und nicht faul sein.  Der beste Ort, um Wissen zu erlangen, ist Qur´an zu lesen und dann die Hadithe anzusehen, besonders bei Bukhari and Muslim.”<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Muçulmano aos treze!<\/span><\/h1>\r\n

\"\"<\/span><\/p>\r\n

 <\/p>\r\n

Issa tinha apenas treze anos quando se tornou um muçulmano. Antes do Islã, quando ainda era uma criança com dez anos de idade, tinha uma vida normal indo para a escola e andando com seus amigos.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Então, na escola secundária, a prima dele, que tinha quinze anos na época, abraçou o Islã e costumava visitar a casa da família dele e falar sobre o Islã.  Os membros da família tinham opiniões diferentes e havia muitos debates, mas ele ficava quieto e simplesmente ouvia.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Um dia, quando estava em casa, ela ligou e pediu a ele para vir a casa dela que ficava a 15 minutos a pé.  Essa era a casa da tia dele.  Sua prima lhe mostrou o Alcorão e perguntou se ele sabia o que era. Ele disse que não. Ela explicou que como os cristãos tinham a Bíblia, os muçulmanos tinham o Alcorão.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Ele admitiu que não sabia nada sobre o Islã ou os muçulmanos.  Só sabia o que sua mãe tinha lhe ensinado sobre Cristianismo.  A prima falou sobre Allah Todo-Poderoso e o profeta Muhammad, dizendo que era o mensageiro de Allah e que tinha trazido o Alcorão de Allah Todo-Poderoso. Esclareceu que Muhammad, que a misericórdia e bênçãos de Deus estejam sobre ele, não o escreveu e que foi uma revelação feita a ele.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Foram os milagres científicos no Alcorão que chamaram a atenção dele.   O que se destacou foram os fatos e números mencionados no Alcorão. Era simplesmente incrível ler os detalhes mencionados no Alcorão sobre a formação do bebê no útero da mãe, as estrelas, os oceanos e como a ciência hoje reconhece todos esses fatos.  Ficou surpreso com isso. Não sabia que havia pessoas tanto tempo atrás que falaram de forma precisa sobre as estrelas e assim por diante.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Orar cinco vezes ao dia, seguir uma dieta alimentar e um código de vestimenta não era difícil.  Depois que sua prima explicou o básico do Islã, começou a ler sobre orações e o código de vestimenta e decidiu que devia se concentrar em uma coisa de cada vez.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Começou sua jornada para o Islã com a coisa mais importante, as orações.  Tinha os livros básicos com as transliterações do árabe e diagramas com figuras. Desde então muito mais material ficou disponível para ajudar novos muçulmanos.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

No início não contou a ninguém que tinha se tornado muçulmano, porque sentia que não estava pronto para enfrentar os comentários e as críticas.  Até esse ponto, não sabia exatamente o que o Islã significava.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Com o passar dos anos viajou de país para país e teve a felicidade de estudar no Egito e Iêmen, onde aprendeu sobre a vastidão e misericórdia do Islã.  Mas no início pensou em manter sua conversão em segredo por um tempo.  Não conhecia mais ninguém que fosse muçulmano, exceto sua prima.  Conseguiu livros sobre monoteísmo da livraria islâmica local e livros sobre oração, jejum, a vida do profeta e seus companheiros e também sobre os quatro califas sábios.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Depois de três ou quatro meses participou de uma conversa na casa de Abdur-Raheem Green no sul de Londres. The talks were in the front room of the house and everyone was sitting cramped up but Ouvia com atenção e foi lá que aprender muitos dos básicos do Islã.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Crescer como muçulmano fez com que Issa ao longo da escola e universidade não se envolvesse em problemas!  Notou que era muito fácil se envolver com a turma errada, mas tudo que pensava quando era jovem era se tinha feito a ablução para estar pronto para a oração ou quando era o horário da próxima oração.  Essas preocupações ocupavam sua mente enquanto todos na escola ou em sua vizinhança falavam sobre raves ou outras coisas insignificantes.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Quando fez quinze anos, decidiu falar aos demais sobre sua conversão ao Islã.  Tinha um amigo que também se tornou muçulmano e dois deles viviam em seu mundinho. Andavam juntos e até iam para a mesquita juntos.  Frequentemente tinham problemas por deixarem a escola para participar da oração de sexta-feira.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Apesar da pouca idade, Issa não achava que o Islã era estrito. Achava que fazia sentido.  Entendia por que o álcool era proibido.   Fazia sentido para ele que as pessoas não bebessem, porque podia ver todo mal que vinha do álcool.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Alguns podem achar que se tornar muçulmano tão jovem isolaria a pessoas dos não-muçulmanos, mas com Issa não foi o caso. Ele interagia e funcionava normalmente, mas havia sempre uma linha que ele não cruzava. Não se juntava aos colegas de turma quando queriam se engajar em algo que ia contra suas crenças e em atividades erradas, como as raves. Quando seus colegas de classe não-muçulmanos o convidavam para esses eventos, dava várias desculpas e não ia.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Finalmente aqui umas poucas palavras do irmão Issa:<\/span><\/p>\r\n

 “Sugiro que os novos muçulmanos pesquisem sobre as vidas dos companheiros e vejam como colocavam o Islã em prática.  Os companheiros receberam o Islã das mãos do profeta. Você pode encontrar informação verdadeira sobre o Islã, mas tem que pesquisar e não ser preguiçoso.  O melhor lugar para adquirir conhecimento e ter certeza de que é o conhecimento certo é ler o Alcorão e então procurar os hadiths, especialmente Bukhari e Muslim.”<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Heinz, Ex-Christian, UK<\/span><\/h1>\r\n

 \"\"<\/p>\r\n

Abdul Hakeem Heinz was brought up in the south of London.  He was first introduced to Islam at the tender age of seven when his mother embraced Islam.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Years later he traveled and lived in Egypt for a few years and further developed his knowledge and understanding of Islam as well as his skills in Arabic language.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

He was just a young boy when his mother converted, and it was then that he and his brother and sister changed from going to church to practicing Islam.  This was quite a shock for him at first because his comfort zone had been in the Christian concepts that he had previously been taught.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Initially, Islam was presented to him as a set of strict rules that had to be followed.  He admits that at first he found it all a bit tough to deal with.  At seven he was expected to pray and fast.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

He also had to learn how to read in Arabic and he found himself praying and reading Quran but without understanding what he was saying and why he had to do all this.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

However, the years passed and after some time, it all started to settle in and Islam became his way of life.   As he looks back, he notes that as a teenager, it was natural that he would start to question what life is about.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

As he passed through the turbulence of his teenage years, the meaning of the message of Islam started to touch his heart and became more and more acceptable to him.  He also began to understand what Islam meant in his life and as he learned more, he perceived Islam as the correct way.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Heinz admits, “In my early teens, it was something to be ashamed of to be a Muslim.  At school I was taught Islamic studies but I was also taught that it was just like Hinduism and Sikhism.”<\/span><\/p>\r\n

It affected him that Islam and those who followed it were considered “different” from others.  When he started secondary school, he did not want to be associated with Islam, but he kept it in his heart.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

He explains his reaction, “It was because of the pressure from outside, but at the same time, I hadn't gone into Islam enough to justify my faith as I could have.” The public perception of Islam at that time affected how he presented himself as a Muslim.  He wanted to be among the common crowd, which is a natural part of human nature.  This perception did not change until he was about fourteen years old.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

At this age, he changed in the way he practiced Islam and how he presented his religion to others.  This happened after he traveled to Holland and Spain.  His journey to Spain was especially significant as there he had the chance to interact more with practicing Muslims.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

He comments, “There was a minority Muslim community where I was in Spain but they were respected and some of the youth of my age group were very interested in religion.  This made me no longer feel ashamed.  Young people were embracing Islam and this made me feel proud.”<\/span><\/p>\r\n

When he returned to the UK from Spain, he was about fifteen.  He went back to school, but the difference this time was that he was a Muslim from the inside! He was much more confident and so he started to talk about Islam more.  Heinz says happily, “I could actually say 'I am Muslim'.” <\/span><\/p>\r\n

Then attitudes towards Islam started to change among his peers at school.  He relates, “At that time, being a Muslim was considered jazzy, snappy, and cool! This helped me become even more confident.  One of the things that helped me through all these changes was my independence to know Almighty Allah.”<\/span><\/p>\r\n

He admits reading when he was by himself and memorizing Quran.  He also says that when he was a teenager, as a household his family members were Muslims, but Islam was not always being practiced properly.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Despite all this, there was something in his heart that was always drawn toward Almighty Allah and Islam.  If he found life difficult or had problems, he would pray two units of Prayer and pour his heart out to Almighty Allah.  He states, “I learned to submit myself to Allah.”<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Heinz believes that Muslims have to be sincere to Almighty Allah and recite Quran everyday.  This is what helped him to pass through the difficult teenage years.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

He noticed that as he became stronger, people changed their perceptions about him and started to respect him.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

He says that if a person acts shyly, feels embarrassed and behaves apologetically, people will put him to one side.  But if he does not really care about what people think, because he knows that he is on the truth, people will respect him because of the confidence he has.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Heinz says with surety, “People respect that kind of character.  People respect you if you are yourself.”<\/span><\/p>\r\n

He believes that we do not owe anything to our friends or the group we are with, and that we should just be ourselves.  He advises new Muslims not to try to be like anyone else.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

He is now twenty-three years old and believes that generally, in the West, people his age are struggling in terms of responsibility and knowing what is expected of them as adults.  He finds that they are not sure because they do not belong to a certain culture, or their culture drives them to succumb to this world that is filled with commotion and strife.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

He says that when he was seventeen years old and decided to practice Islam properly, that helped him to grow because Islam gave him a strict code of conduct.  He followed what it says and tried to understand his role as a human being.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Slowly he came to know that he has responsibilities and will ultimately become a proper adult and a better person, more considerate and mindful of others.  He says that without Islam he would have been lost.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

He is grateful to Almighty Allah that He has brought him so far.  With Islam, a person can stand out among their peers because Islam makes a person mature.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

He says, “Gaining Islamic knowledge in today’s world is important and we cannot escape Satan as he wants to keep us away from where we should be.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

“New Muslims want to get on the right path and it is important to keep good company because a person becomes what his group is.  If the person around you will bring you down, you might have to cut relations with him.”<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Heinz sees that his time in Egypt helped him to see how Muslims live and that it is great to feel that you belong to such a universal community.  Apart from the knowledge of Arabic and Islam he obtained, Egypt also helped him to learn more about how to be a Muslim in everyday life.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

He says that we learn from the people we mix with and that we should read Quran regularly and ask Almighty Allah to help us understand it properly.  Everyone should find out what classes are happening in their area and attend them and spend time in the mosque.  People can also go onto Islamic websites and be involved in the community around them.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

He observes that in London there are a lot of places where a person can obtain knowledge and there are prominent speakers.  He advises new Muslims to seek out such classes and lectures because not only will you gain knowledge, but you will also meet good people.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Looking to the future, Heinz says that he just asks Allah for the best and hopes.  He says, “I am more patient now because of the experiences I've had.  I gained a lot of stability by having learned about the Companions and the Prophet, may the mercy and blessings of God be upon him.”<\/span><\/p>\r\n

He sees that the best way to be a man and the best way to be a woman are by living according to the standards of Almighty Allah.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Heinz, ex-chrétien, Royaume-Uni<\/span><\/h1>\r\n

  \"\"<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Abdoul Hakim Heinz a passé son enfance dans le sud de Londres.  Son premier contact avec l’islam eut lieu alors qu’il avait sept ans; sa mère venait alors de se convertir à cette religion.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Des années plus tard, il s’installa en Égypte durant quelques années.  Là, il approfondit ses connaissances sur l’islam et perfectionna son arabe.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Lorsque sa mère se convertit, son frère, sa sœur et lui cessèrent de fréquenter l’église.  Il se souvient de cette période comme d’une transition difficile, car il avait du mal à comprendre, à un si jeune âge, pourquoi il devait oublier, du jour au lendemain, tout ce qu’on lui avait enseigné sur le christianisme.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Au début, l’islam lui fut présenté comme un ensemble de règles rigides à suivre.  Alors qu’il n’était qu’un enfant de sept ans, on l’obligea à prier et à jeûner.  Il dut également apprendre à lire l’arabe et il se retrouva à prier et à lire le Coran sans saisir un seul mot de ce qu’il disait et sans comprendre pourquoi il devait se plier à toutes ces règles et toutes ces pratiques.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Puis, les années passèrent et, avec le temps, l’islam devint son mode de vie.  Adolescent, toutefois, il remit en question son identité et s’interrogea pour la première fois sur le sens réel de la vie.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Une fois sorti de l’adolescence, le message de l’islam toucha de plus en plus son cœur et il finit par l’accepter pour de bon.  Il comprit tout ce que l’islam pouvait apporter de bon dans sa vie et il sut, avec certitude, qu’il s’agissait de la bonne voie.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Heinz admet : « Durant les premières années de mon adolescence, j’étais quelque peu embarrassé d’avouer que j’étais musulman.  À l’école, on nous enseignait les fondements de l’islam, mais on le mettait au même niveau que l’hindouisme ou le sikhisme. »<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Le fait que les musulmans soient considérés comme « différents » le mettait mal à l’aise.  En entrant à l’école secondaire, il ne voulait pas être associé à l’islam et tentait de cacher le fait qu’il était musulman.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

 « C’était à cause de la pression extérieure.  Mais, en même temps, je n’avais pas étudié l’islam de manière suffisamment approfondie pour pouvoir défendre ma foi publiquement. »  La perception de l’islam qu’avaient les gens, autour de lui, affectait sa façon d’être en leur compagnie.  Il voulait se fondre, ne pas détoner, ce qui est normal, chez l’être humain. <\/span><\/p>\r\n

Vers l’âge de quatorze ans, il s’affirma un peu plus, dans son islam, après un voyage en Hollande et en Espagne.  Son séjour en Espagne eut un impact certain sur son islam, car il y fit la rencontre de musulmans pratiquants.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

 <\/p>\r\n

Il raconte : « Là où j’étais, en Espagne, il y avait une toute petite communauté musulmane, qui savait se faire respecter.  Et certains membres de cette communauté avaient le même âge que moi et étaient très pratiquants.  Je voulais être comme eux, ne plus me sentir honteux d’être musulman.  Je voulais me sentir aussi fier qu’eux. »<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Lorsqu’il revint au Royaume-Uni, il avait alors quinze ans.  Il retourna à l’école, mais il était désormais différent : il était devenu musulman de son propre chef.  Il était beaucoup plus sûr de lui et ne se retenait plus de parler d’islam ouvertement.  Il raconte : « Je n’avais plus honte et je disais à qui voulais l’entendre : « Oui, je suis musulman. »<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Puis, à l’école, l’attitude de ses pairs, envers l’islam, changea.  Il raconte : « À cette époque, c’était tout à coup devenu cool d’être musulman!  Cela m’aida évidemment à prendre confiance en moi.  Et ce qui m’aida, surtout, à travers tous les changements que je vivais, fut ma foi inébranlable en Allah. »<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Lorsqu’il était seul, il n’était pas rare qu’il lise le Coran et le mémorise.  Il rapporte également qu’adolescent, même si sa famille était musulmane, elle ne pratiquait pas toujours l’islam correctement.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Malgré tout, sa foi ne changeait pas et demeurait ferme et sincère.  S’il avait des problèmes, il faisait des prières supplémentaires pour demander l’aide d’Allah.  Il dit : « J’ai appris à me soumettre totalement à Allah. »<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Heinz croit que les musulmans doivent s’efforcer d’être sincères envers Allah et de lire le Coran quotidiennement, car c’est cela qui l’a aidé à passer à travers les années difficiles de l’adolescence.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Il remarque qu’il est devenu plus fort, que la perception des gens, envers lui, a changé et qu’ils le respectent plus.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Selon lui, si une personne se comporte de manière timide et embarrassée et qu’elle a toujours l’air de s’excuser de sa présence, les autres vont la rejeter.  Mais si elle ne se soucie pas trop de ce que pensent les gens, car elle sait qu’elle suit la voie de la vérité, les gens vont la respecter à cause de la confiance en elle qu’elle dégage.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Il dit : « Les gens respectent ceux qui sont sûrs d’eux.  Les gens vont vous respecter si vous demeurez vous-mêmes. »<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Il souligne que nous ne devons rien à nos amis ni aux gens qui nous entourent et que nous devons rester nous-mêmes en toutes circonstances.  Il conseille aux nouveaux convertis de ne pas chercher à changer de personnalité.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Il est maintenant âgé de vingt-trois ans et trouve que d’une manière générale, en Occident, les gens de son âge ne savent trop ce que la société attend d’eux.  Ils manquent d’assurance parce qu’ils n’ont pas de sentiment d’appartenance à une certaine culture ou alors, leur culture les pousse à succomber aux choses de ce monde.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

C’est à l’âge de dix-sept ans qu’il a décidé de pratiquer l’islam correctement, ce qui lui a apporté un meilleur encadrement au quotidien et l’a aidé à mieux comprendre son rôle en tant qu’être humain.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Il a compris qu’il avait des responsabilités, qu’il allait bientôt devenir un adulte et qu’il souhaitait être quelqu’un de meilleur, de bienveillant et attentif aux autres.  Sans l’islam, il aurait, croit-il, été totalement perdu.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Il est reconnaissant envers Allah pour lui avoir permis d’approfondir son islam, ce qui l’a aidé à mûrir et à prendre confiance en lui.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Il dit : « Acquérir le savoir islamique, de nos jours, est important, car nous ne pouvons échapper au diable, qui cherche constamment à nous détourner du droit chemin.   Les nouveaux musulmans qui souhaitent demeurer sur la bonne voie devraient chercher à se faire des amis pieux, car une personne est toujours influencée par ses fréquentations.  Si les gens, autour de vous, ne vous encouragent pas dans la bonne voie, il est préférable de vous éloigner d’eux. »<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Heinz trouve que le temps qu’il a passé en Égypte l’a aidé à découvrir le mode de vie des musulmans et à développer une fierté d’appartenir à la communauté musulmane internationale.  En plus d’avoir appris l’arabe et l’islam, dans ce pays, il a pu goûter au mode de vie islamique au jour le jour.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Il dit qu’on apprend des gens desquels on s’entoure.  Il conseille de prendre des cours d’islam, si possible, de fréquenter régulièrement les mosquées et de s’impliquer au sein de sa communauté musulmane locale.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Il note qu’à Londres, il existe de nombreux endroits où prendre des cours sur toutes sortes de sujets relatifs à l’islam.  Ce sont des endroits de prédilection pour approfondir son savoir et faire la connaissance de bonnes personnes.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

En parlant de l’avenir, Heinz dit qu’il demande le meilleur à Allah.  Il dit : « Je suis plus patient, aujourd’hui, à cause des expériences que j’ai connues.  J’ai appris la patience, entre autres, dans les histoires des compagnons et du Prophète, que la miséricorde et les bénédictions de Dieu soient sur eux tous. »<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Il croit que la meilleure façon d’être un homme ou une femme est de vivre en conformité avec les lois d’Allah.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Heinz, Ex-Christ, UK<\/span><\/h1>\r\n

<\/h1>\r\n

\"\"<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Abdul Hakiem Heinz wuchs im Süden Londons auf.  Er lernte den Islam im zarten Alter von sieben kennen, als seine Mutter den Islam annahm. <\/span><\/p>\r\n

Jahre später reiste er und lebte ein paar Jahre in Ägypten und entwickelte seine Kenntnisse und sein Verständnis vom Islam weiter, und ebenfalls seine Sprachkenntnisse in arabisch.  <\/span><\/p>\r\n

Er war nur ein kleiner Junge gewesen, als seine Mutter konvertiert ist, und damals war es gewesen, dass er und sein Bruder und seine Schwester aufhörten, zur Kirche zu gehen und begannen, den Islam zu praktizieren.  Dies war ein ziemlicher Schock für ihn, denn sein Wohlfühlbereich waren die christlichen Konzepte gewesen, die ihm zuvor beigebracht worden waren.   <\/span><\/p>\r\n

Anfangs wurde ihm der Islam wie eine Reihe strenger Regeln präsentiert, die zu befolgen sind.  Er gibt zu, dass er das alles anfangs ein bisschen hart zu befolgen fand.  Mit sieben wurde von ihm erwartet, zu beten und zu fasten. <\/span><\/p>\r\n

Er musste auch lernen, arabisch zu lesen und er betete und las den Qur'an, ohne zu verstehen, was er sagte und warum er all dies tat.  <\/span><\/p>\r\n

Aber die Jahre vergingen und nach einiger Zeit klärte sich alles und der Islam wurde zu seiner Lebensweise.  Wenn er zurückblickt, bemerkt er, dass es ganz natürlich ist, dass man als Teenager Fragen über das Leben stellt. <\/span><\/p>\r\n

Als er die Turbulenzen seiner Teenagerjahre durchlebte, begann die Bedeutung der Botschaft des Islam sein Herz zu berühren, und er nahm sie mehr und mehr an.  Er fing auch an, zu verstehen, was Islam in seinem Leben bedeutete und je mehr er lernte, desto besser verstand er den Islam als den richtigen Weg. <\/span><\/p>\r\n

Heinz gibt zu: “In meinen frühen Teens habe ich mich irgendwie geschämt, Muslim zu sein.  In der Schule lernte ich islamische Lehren, aber mir wurde auch beigebracht, dass es das gleiche wie Hinduismus und Sikhismus sei.”<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Es berührte ihn, dass der Islam und diejenigen, die ihm folgen, als \"anders\" betrachtet wurden.  Als er in der Schule in die Sekundarstufe kam, wollte er nicht mehr mit dem Islam in Verbindung gebracht werden, aber er behielt dies im Herzen.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Er erläutert seine Reaktion: \"Es war wegen des Drucks von Außerhalb, aber zur gleichen Zeit habe ich mich nicht tief genug mit dem Islam befasst, wie ich es hätte tun können, um meinen Glauben zu rechtfertigen.\"  Die öffentliche Meinung in jener Zeit vom Islam hatte einen Einfluss darauf, wie er sich als Muslim präsentierte.  Er wollte zur gewöhnlichen Masse gehören, was ein natürlicher Teil der menschlichen Natur ist.  Diese Auffassung änderte sich nicht bevor er etwa vierzehn Jahre alt war. <\/span><\/p>\r\n

In diesem Alter veränderte sich die Art, wie er den Islam praktizierte und wie er seine Religion anderen präsentierte.  Dies geschah nachdem er nach Holland und Spanien gereist war.  Seine Reise nach Spanien war besonders bedeutungsvoll, denn dort hatte er Gelegenheit, sich mit mehr praktizierenden Muslimen auszutauschen.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Er kommentiert: “Es gab dort eine muslimische Gemeinde, wo ich in Spanien gewesen bin, die eine Minderheit bildete, aber sie wurden respektiert und einige der Jungen in meinem Alter waren sehr an der Religion interessiert.  Dies sorgte dafür, dass ich mich nicht länger schämte.  Junge Menschen nahmen den Islam an und das machte mich stolz.”<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Als er von Spanien nach UK zurückkehrte, war er etwa fünfzehn.  Er ging zurück zur Schule, aber dieses Mal war der Unterschied, dass er innerlich Muslim war!  Er war viel zufriedener und fing an, mehr über den Islam zu sprechen.  Heinz sagt glücklich: \"Ich konnte schließlich sagen: ´Ich bin Muslim´.\" <\/span><\/p>\r\n

Da begann sich die Haltung unter seinen Mitschülern dem Islam gegenüber zu verändern.  Er berichtet: \"In jener Zeit wurde Muslim sein als fetzig, flott und cool betrachtet!  Dies half mir dabei, mich sicherer zu fühlen.  Eines der Dinge, das mir durch all diese Veränderungen hindurch half, war meine Unabhängigkeit, Allah, den Allmächtigen zu kennen.”<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Er gibt zu, den Qur´an zu lesen, wenn er für sich war und auswendig zu lernen.  Er sagt ebenfalls, dass als er ein Teenager gewesen ist, seine Familienmitglieder als Haushalt zwar muslimisch gewesen waren, doch der Islam wurde nicht immer ordentlich praktiziert. <\/span><\/p>\r\n

Trotz alledem gab es etwas in seinem Herzen, das immer Allah, dem Allmächtigen, und dem Islam zugewandt war.  Wenn er das Leben schwierig fand oder Probleme hatte, betete er zwei Gebetseinheiten und schüttete Allah, dem Allmächtigen, sein Herz aus.  Er stellt fest: \"Ich lernte, mich Allah zu ergeben.\"<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Heinz glaubt, dass Muslime aufrichtig mit Allah, dem Allmächtigen sein müssen und rezitiert jeden Tag Qur'an.  Dies half ihm, die schwierige Teenagerzeit zu überstehen.    <\/span><\/p>\r\n

Er bemerkte, dass er stärker wurde, die Menschen änderten ihre Ansicht von ihm und fingen an, ihn zu respektieren.  <\/span><\/p>\r\n

Er sagt, wenn jemand schüchtern handelt, sich betreten fühlt und sich entschuldigend verhält, dann werden die Menschen ihn beiseite legen.  Aber wenn es ihn nicht wirklich kümmert, was die Leute denken, weil er weiss, dass es die Wahrheit ist, dann werden die Menschen ihn wegen der Selbstsicherheit, die er hat, respektieren. <\/span><\/p>\r\n

Heinz sagt mit Sicherheit: \"Menschen respektieren diese Art von Charakter.  Menschen respektieren dich, wenn du du selbst bist.\" <\/span><\/p>\r\n

Er glaubt, dass wir unseren Freunden oder der Gruppe, mit der wir zusammen sind, nichts schuldig sind, und wir sollten nur wir selbst sein.  Er rät neuen Muslimen, nicht zu versuchen, wie jemand anders zu sein. <\/span><\/p>\r\n

Er ist jetzt 23 Jahre alt und denkt, dass die Menschen seines Alters im Westen allgemein in Bezug auf Verantwortung zu kämpfen haben und nicht wissen, was von ihnen als Erwachsener erwartet wird.  Er meint, sie sind nicht sicher, weil sie nicht zu einer bestimmten Kultur gehören oder weil ihre Kultur sie dazu führt, sich dieser Welt zu beugen, die voller Tumult und Mühe ist.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Er sagt, dass als er siebzehn Jahre alt gewesen ist und beschlossen hatte, den Islam richtig zu praktizieren, habe ihm dies beim Wachsen geholfen, denn der Islam gab ihm einen strengen Verhaltenskodex.  Er folgte dem, was er vorschreibt und versuchte, seine Rolle als menschliches Wesen zu verstehen. <\/span><\/p>\r\n

Langsam begriff er, weches seine Verantwortungen waren und wurde schließlich ein guter Erwachsener und eine besserer Mensch, rücksichtsvoller und achtsam auf andere.  Er sagt, ohne den Islam wäre er verloren. <\/span><\/p>\r\n

Er ist Allah, dem Allmächtigen, dankbar, dass er ihn so weit gebracht hat.  Mit dem Islam kann eine Person sich vor ihren Mitmenschen auszeichnen, denn der Islam macht den Menschen reifer.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Er sagte: \"Sich islamisches Wissen anzueignen ist in der heutigen Welt wichtig, und wir können Satan nicht entkommen, denn er versucht uns von dem abzuhalten, was wir tun sollten.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

“Neue Muslime wollen den richtigen Weg nehmen, und es ist wichtig, in gute Gesellschaft zu kommen, denn eine Person wird wie seine Gruppe.  Wenn die Person, mit der du zusammen bist, dich herunter zieht, mußt du vielleicht die Beziehung zu ihr abbrechen.”<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Heinz sagt, seine Zeit in Ägypten habe ihm dabei geholfen, zu sehen, wie Muslime leben, und dass es ein großartiges Gefühl ist, zu so einer universellen Gesellschaft zu gehören.  Abgesehen von Kenntnissen in Arabisch und Islam, die er erhielt, half ihm sein Aufenthalt in Ägypten, mehr darüber zu erfahren, wie ein Muslim in seinem alltäglichen Leben sein sollte.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Er sagt, dass wir von den Menschen lernen, die uns umgeben und dass wir regelmäßig Qur'an lesen sollten und Allah, den Allmächtigen, bitten sollten, ihn richtig zu verstehen.  Jeder sollte heraus finden, welche Kurse es in seiner Gemeinde gibt und angemessene Zeit in der Moschee verbringen.  Man kann auf islamische Websites gehen und in der Gemeinschaft in der Nähe aktiv sein. <\/span><\/p>\r\n

Er beobachtet, dass es in London sehr viele Orte gibt, an denen man Wissen Erlangen kann, und es gibt dort berühmte Redner.  Er rät neuen Muslimen, an solchen Kursen teilzunehmen, nicht nur um Wissen zu bekommen, sondern auch um gute Menschen zu treffen. <\/span><\/p>\r\n

Im Hinblick auf die Zukunft sagt Heinz, dass er nur Allah um das Beste bittet und hofft.  Er teilt uns mit: “Ich bin jetzt geduldiger, wegen der Erfahrungen, die ich gemacht habe.  Ich habe viel an Stabilität gewonnen, als ich mehr über die Gefährten und den Propheten, Gottes Segen und Frieden seien auf ihm, gelernt habe.”<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Er sieht, dass die beste Art, ein Mann zu sein und die beste Art, eine Frau zu sein, nur durch das Leben nach dem Standard Allahs, des Allmächtigen, zu erreichen ist.  <\/span><\/p>\r\n

Heinz, ex-cristão, Reino Unido<\/span><\/h1>\r\n

\"\"<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Abdul Hakim Heinz cresceu no sul de Londres.  Foi primeiro apresentado ao Islã com a idade de sete anos quando sua mãe abraçou o Islã.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Anos depois viajou e viveu no Egito por alguns anos e desenvolveu ainda mais seu conhecimento e compreensão do Islã e também sua habilidade na língua árabe.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Era apenas um menino quando sua mãe se converteu e foi então que ele e seu irmão e irmã mudaram de ir à igreja para praticar o Islã.  Foi um grande choque para ele a princípio, porque sua zona de conforto tinha sido os conceitos cristãos que havia aprendido anteriormente.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Inicialmente o Islã foi apresentado a ele como um conjunto de regras estritas que tinha que ser seguido.  Ele admite que inicialmente achou tudo muito difícil de lidar.  Aos sete esperava-se que ele orasse e jejuasse.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Também tinha que aprender como ler em árabe e se viu orando e lendo o Alcorão, mas sem entendimento do que estava dizendo e do motivo para fazer tudo aquilo.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Entretanto, os anos passaram e depois de algum tempo, tudo começou a se acomodar e o Islã tornou-se seu modo de vida.   Quando olha para trás, nota que como adolescente era natural que começasse a questionar do que se trata a vida.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Ao passar pela turbulência de sua adolescência, o significado da mensagem do islã começou a tocar seu coração e a se tornar cada vez mais aceitável para ele.  Também começou a entender o que o Islã significava em sua vida e à medida que aprendia mais, percebeu o Islã como o caminho correto.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Heinz admite: “No início de minha adolescência ser muçulmano era algo do que se envergonhar.  Na escola me ensinaram estudos islâmicos, mas também me ensinaram que era como Hinduísmo e Sikhismo.”<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Afetou-o ver que o Islã e aqueles que o seguiam eram considerados “diferentes” dos outros.  Quando começou o segundo grau não queria ser associado com o Islã, mas o manteve em seu coração.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Explica sua reação: “Era por causa da pressão externa, mas ao mesmo tempo, não tinha me aprofundado o suficiente no Islã para justificar minha crença como poderia ter feito.” A percepção pública do Islã na época afetou como ele se apresentava como muçulmano.  Queria estar entre a massa comum, o que é uma parte natural da natureza humana.  Essa percepção não mudou até que estivesse com mais ou menos quatorze anos de idade.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Nessa idade mudou a forma como praticava o Islã e como apresentava sua religião aos outros.  Isso aconteceu depois de viajar para a Holanda e Espanha.  Sua viagem para a Espanha foi especialmente significativa, já que lá teve a oportunidade de interagir mais com muçulmanos praticantes.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Ele comenta: “Havia uma comunidade muçulmana minoritária onde eu estava na Espanha, mas eram respeitados e alguns dos jovens da minha faixa etária eram muito interessados na religião.  Isso fez com que não me sentisse mais envergonhado.  Jovens estavam abraçando o Islã e isso me deixou orgulhoso.”<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Quando voltei para o Reino Unido vindo da Espanha, estava com quinze anos.  Voltei para a escola, mas a diferença dessa vez era que era um muçulmano em meu interior! Estava muito mais confiante e comecei a falar mais sobre o Islã.  Heinz diz, com felicidade: “Podia de fato dizer ‘sou muçulmano’”. <\/span><\/p>\r\n

Então as atitudes em relação ao Islã começaram a mudar entre seus colegas na escola.  Ele relata: “Naquela época, ser muçulmano era considerado jazzístico, elegante e legal! Isso me ajudou a ficar ainda mais confiante.  Uma das coisas que me ajudou ao longo de todas essas mudanças foi minha independência para conhecer Allah Todo-Poderoso.”<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Ele admite ler quando estava sozinho e memorizar o Alcorão.  Também diz que quando era adolescente, embora seu ambiente familiar fosse de muçulmanos, o Islã nem sempre era praticado apropriadamente.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Apesar de tudo isso, havia algo em seu coração que sempre o atraía para Allah Todo-Poderoso e o Islã.  Se a vida estava difícil ou tinha problemas, orava duas unidades de oração e desabafava com Allah Todo-Poderoso.  Afirma: “Aprendi a me submeter a Allah.”<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Heinz acredita que os muçulmanos têm que ser sinceros com Allah Todo-Poderoso e receitar o Alcorão todos os dias.  Isso o ajudou a atravessar os anos difíceis da adolescência.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Notou que se tornou mais forte, as pessoas mudaram suas percepções em relação a ele e começaram a respeitá-lo.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Diz que se uma pessoa age timidamente, sente-se embaraçada e se comporta apologeticamente, as outras pessoas a colocam de lado.  Mas se não se importa com o que as pessoas pensam, porque sabe que está com a verdade, as pessoas a respeitarão por causa da confiança que tem.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Heinz diz com segurança: “As pessoas respeitam esse tipo de caráter.  Respeitam se você for autêntico.”<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Ele acredita que não devemos explicações a nossos amigos ou ao grupo ao qual pertencemos, e que devemos ser nós mesmos.  Aconselha aos novos muçulmanos a não tentarem copiar ninguém.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Agora está com vinte e três anos e acredita que em geral, no ocidente, as pessoas de sua idade estão lutando em termos de responsabilidade e saber o que é esperado delas como adultas.  Acha que não estão seguras porque não pertencem a certa cultura ou sua cultura as motiva a sucumbir a esse mundo, que é cheio de agitação e discórdia.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Diz que quando estava com dezessete anos e decidiu praticar o Islã corretamente isso o ajudou a amadurecer, porque o Islã lhe deu um código estrito de conduta.  Seguia o que o Islã diz e tentava compreender seu papel como ser humano.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Lentamente veio a saber que tinha responsabilidades e se transformaria em um adulto digno e uma pessoa melhor, mais atenta e consciente em relação às outras.  Diz que sem o Islã teria se perdido.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

É grato a Allah Todo-Poderoso por tê-lo levado tão longe.  Com o Islã uma pessoa pode se destacar entre seus colegas porque o Islã amadurece o ser humano.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Diz: “Obter conhecimento islâmico no mundo de hoje é importante e não podemos escapar de Satanás, porque ele quer nos manter longe de onde devemos estar”.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

“Os novos muçulmanos querem ficar no caminho certo e é importante manter boas companhias, porque uma pessoa se torna aquilo que o seu grupo é.  Se as pessoas ao seu redor o levam para baixo, você talvez deva cortar relações com ela.”<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Heinz vê que o período no Egito o ajudou a ver como os muçulmanos vivem e que é ótimo sentir que pertence a uma comunidade universal.  Além do conhecimento que obteve do árabe e do Islã, o Egito também o ajudou a aprender mais sobre como ser um muçulmano na vida diária.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Diz que aprendemos das pessoas com as quais nos misturamos e que devemos ler o Alcorão regularmente e pedir a Allah Todo-Poderoso para nos ajudar a compreendê-lo adequadamente.  Todos devem procurar aulas em suas áreas, frequentá-las e passar tempo na mesquita.  As pessoas também podem visitar sites islâmicos e se envolver nas comunidades formadas a partir deles.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Ele observa que em Londres existem muitos lugares onde uma pessoa pode obter conhecimento e palestrantes proeminentes.  Aconselha os novos muçulmanos a procurar essas aulas e palestras porque não apenas obterão conhecimento, mas também encontrarão pessoas boas.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Em relação ao futuro, Heinz diz que apenas pede a Allah o melhor e mantém a esperança.  Diz: “Sou mais paciente agora por causa das experiências que tive.  Consegui muita estabilidade por ter aprendido sobre os companheiros e o Profeta, que a misericórdia e bênçãos de Deus estejam sobre ele.”<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Vê que a melhor maneira de ser um homem ou uma mulher é viver de acordo com os padrões de Allah Todo-Poderoso.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

La Bianca, Ex-Christian, Australia<\/span><\/h1>\r\n

 \"\"<\/p>\r\n

This article is based on an interview with Sandra La Bianca, a Muslim revert who lives in Perth, Western Australia.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\r\n

La Bianca is a country girl; she was brought up on a farm in Western Australia.  When she was a child, she had a pet kangaroo and helped with taking care of the cows and sheep.  She used to go hunting rabbits and foxes.  There was not much religion in her upbringing, but she believed in God and she was taught traditional Italian morals.  In an Italian household, girls are protected and quite sheltered.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

She used to go to church with her family on Sundays, but it was superficial; she didn’t really understand anything.  When she thought about Holy Communion, all she knew was that she would get a white dress and have to recite some words — it was all expected of her and she did it.  As far as La Bianca was concerned, Jesus and Mary (peace be upon them) were just statues in the church.  Still, she used to pray to God.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

While she was growing up, she had no knowledge of Islam or Arabs; she did not even see a city until she was 16 years old!  She acknowledges the fact that she was gullible and naïve.  Of her own admission, the positive part of this is that it has made her more open and natural; she says that she wears her heart on her sleeve.  She has found that city people are emotionally tougher and are often more stand-offish and critical, whereas country people tend to take people as they are.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

In the country, men mostly stay on the farm and enjoy the country life.  With its trucks, motorbikes, shooting, and horses, the country life is a man’s paradise!  Young women usually look for the city life — pursuing fashion, being hip, getting excitement, and partying.  La Bianca left the country when she was 16 years old looking for the bright city life.  Having a big Italian family spread throughout Australia, La Bianca had no difficulty finding an aunt with whom she could stay in the city.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

La Bianca got her first job working as a receptionist, and there she met a Muslim girl named Tasneem, a South African Muslim, albeit not a practicing one.  Tasneem did not wear hijab or pray but always made sure that the meat she ate was according to Islamic dietary regulations.  Even though she was not unchaste nor drank alcohol, Tasneem would still go clubbing, and she was allowed to by her parents as long as she came home early.  The main thing La Bianca learned from Tasneem was fasting in Ramadan.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

La Bianca reminisces that she always felt attracted to Muslims because the people she met were warm, friendly, and accepting with gentleness, directness, and a love of family.  She enjoyed socializing with her Muslim friends and the atmosphere in the family reminded her of her country girl upbringing (good food and hospitality).  She comments that she feels comfortable with people who are comfortable in their own skin.  She further observes that people often pick on others a lot because they do not like themselves.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

She especially likes African people because of their warmth and sociability.  but finds European culture to be quite cold with a lot of barriers between people.  She observes that when she was growing up she and her siblings loved the Aboriginal people more than the Europeans.  Her father respected anyone who worked hard and did the right thing.  He was not at all racist.  However, La Bianca’s mother was racist and thought that Europeans were superior to others, and she easily criticized other people.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

As La Bianca mixed with more and more Muslims, she learned that Muslims pray five times a day, but it was not until she met her husband that she really learned what Islam was all about.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

La Bianca remembers that as soon as her husband met her, he took her home to meet his mother (his father had died some years before).  Both he and La Bianca wanted a long-term commitment — the whole package; marriage and family.  She started going to Islamic classes and changed the way she dressed.  She donned long skirts and loose shirts.  She observes that as she was learning about Almighty God, everything made sense; everything was beautiful and harmonious.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

She comments that she liked the idea that there are consequences for what people do; that every one should try to do the right thing.  This was unlike the Catholic religion whose teachings she was raised upon: People can do anything and that Jesus will cover for them.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Every one has a test, and La Bianca’s big test was wearing hijab<\/em>.  She reveals that it was changing her image that affected her most.  At home, in the country, on the farm, or in the workplace, people would ask her why she was wearing “that.”  Nevertheless, La Bianca wore long dresses and a scarf.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

At first, her Dad felt she was not respecting his friends if she did not dress in a way that would please them.  She admits that in the beginning, she felt guilty for making him feel disrespected, but her growing consciousness of Almighty God made her realize that she wanted to please God more than she wanted to please any human being.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

She had told herself that she did not want to make any concessions, because she knew she was doing the right thing and she knew that if she started to make compromises, it would never stop and she would be left with no Islam at all!  She certainly did not want that to happen.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Despite her initial difficulty in wearing it, hijab<\/em> made so much sense to her.  She found that after she started to cover up, she was not approached by men and she felt much more respected.  It just felt right in her heart.  La Bianca observes that she loves the idea that women are a treasure and that they should be protected and seen only by those who deserve to see them.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

La Bianca pronounced the Shahadah<\/em> (testimony of faith) in the company of a small group of friends.  She felt that Islam was the truth, and she was hungry to learn more.  Her husband and his family encouraged her to wear hijab, but it took some time for her to wear it properly because she had to wean herself from being defined by how she looks to the outside world.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

When asked about the reaction of the Muslim community to her conversion, she said that at first she was “flavor of the month” simply because she was a new Muslim.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

La Bianca, ex-cristiana, Australia<\/span><\/h1>\r\n

 \"\"<\/span><\/p>\r\n

 <\/p>\r\n

Este artículo está  basado en una entrevista con Sandra La Bianca, una musulmana conversa que vive en Perth, Australia Occidental.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\r\n

La Bianca es una chica de campo; fue criada en una granja en Australia Occidental. Cuando era una niña, tenía un canguro de mascota y ayudaba con el cuidado de vacas y ovejas. Solía ir a cazar conejos y zorros. No hubo mucha religión en su crianza, pero ella creía en Dios y le enseñaron la moralidad italiana tradicional. En un hogar italiano, las niñas son cuidadas y de alguna forma protegidas.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Ella solía ir a la iglesia con su familia los domingos, pero era algo superficial; realmente no entendía nada. Cuando pensaba acerca de la Sagrada Comunión, lo único que sabía es que obtendría un vestido blanco y que tendría que recitar algunas –palabras era todo lo que se esperaba de ella y así lo hizo. Para La Bianca, Jesús y María (la paz sea con ellos) eran sólo estatuas en la iglesia; pero solía orarle a Dios.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Mientras estaba creciendo, no tuvo conocimiento del Islam o de los árabes; incluso no llegó a ver una ciudad sino hasta los 16 años de edad. Ella reconoce el hecho de que era crédula e ingenua; pero admite que la parte positiva de esto fue que la hizo más abierta y natural; dice que lleva su corazón en la mano. Se ha dado cuenta que las personas de la ciudad son emocionalmente más rudas y son, con frecuencia, más distantes y críticas; mientras que las personas del campo tienden a tomar a la gente como es.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

En el campo, los hombres en su mayoría se quedan en la granja y disfrutan la vida del campo. Con sus camiones, motocicletas, disparando y sus caballos, ¡la vida del campo es un paraíso para el hombre! Las mujeres jóvenes usualmente buscan la vida de la ciudad, persiguiendo la moda, estar al día, divertirse y andar de fiesta. La Bianca dejó el campo cuando tenía 16 años de edad buscando la vida brillante de la ciudad. Teniendo una gran familia italiana extendida a lo largo y ancho de Australia, La Bianca no tuvo dificultad de encontrar una tía con la cual podía quedarse en la ciudad.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

La Bianca obtuvo su primer empleo trabajando como recepcionista, y allí conoció una joven musulmana llamada Tasnim, una musulmana de Sudáfrica, aunque ella no era practicante. Tasnim no usaba el hiyab ni oraba, apero siempre se aseguraba de que la carne que comiera estuviera de acuerdo con las regulaciones de dieta islámicas. Aunque no era impúdica ni bebía alcohol, Tasnim aún iba a los clubes, y sus padres se lo permitían siempre y cuando llegara a casa temprano. Lo más importante que La Bianca aprendió de Tasnim fue ayunar en Ramadán.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

La Bianca recuerda que siempre se sintió atraída hacia los musulmanes porque la gente que ella conocía era cálida, amistosa y la aceptaban con gentileza, franqueza y un amor de familia. Ella disfrutaba socializar con sus amigos musulmanes y la atmósfera en la familia le recordaba su crianza de chica de campo (buena comida y hospitalidad). Comenta que se siente a gusto con personas que están a gusto con ellas mismas. Además comenta que la gente con frecuencia molesta a otros porque no se gustan a sí mismos.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

A ella le gustan especialmente los africanos debido a su calidez y su sociabilidad, y encuentra a la cultura europea algo fría y con una gran cantidad de barreras entre la gente. Observa que cuando estaba creciendo ella y sus hermanos amaban a la gente nativa más que a los europeos. Su padre respetaba a todo el que trabajara duro e hiciera lo correcto. Él no era para nada racista. Sin embargo, la madre de La Bianca era racista y pensaba que los europeos eran superiores a los demás, y fácilmente criticaba a los otros.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

A  medida que La Bianca se mezclaba con más y más musulmanes, aprendió que los musulmanes oraban cinco veces al día, pero no fue hasta cuando ella conoció a su esposo que de verdad aprendió de lo que se trataba el Islam en su conjunto.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

La Bianca recuerda que tan pronto como su esposo la conoció, la llevó a su casa para que conociera a su madre (su padre había muerto algunos años antes).  Tanto él como La Bianca querían un compromiso a largo término, el paquete completo: matrimonio y familia. Ella empezó a ir a clases islámicas y cambió la forma en que se vestía. Se vistió con faldas largas y blusas sueltas. Observó que a medida que estaba aprendiendo acerca de Dios Todopoderoso, todo tomaba sentido, todo era más hermoso y armonioso.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Comenta que le gustaba la idea de que hay consecuencias para lo que la gente hace, que todo el mundo debería tratar de hacer las cosas correctamente. Esto era distinto a la religión católica, bajo cuyas enseñanzas fue criada: la gente puede hacer cualquier cosa y Jesús los perdonaría por ello.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Todos tienen una prueba, y la gran prueba de La Bianca fue vestir el hiyab<\/em>.  Ella revela que cambiar su imagen fue lo que más la afectó. En casa, en el campo, en la granja o en el lugar de trabajo, la gente le preguntaba por qué estaba usando “eso”. Sin embargo, La Bianca usaba vestidos largos y una pañoleta.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Al comienzo su padre sintió que ella no estaba respetando a sus amigos si no se vestía en una forma que los complaciera. Ella admite que al principio, se sintió culpable por hacer que él se sintiera irrespetado, pero su conciencia creciente de Dios Todopoderoso le hizo dar cuenta de que ella deseaba complacer a Dios más de lo que deseaba complacer a cualquier ser humano.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Se había dicho a sí misma que no quería hacer ninguna concesión, porque sabía que estaba haciendo lo correcto y sabía que si empezaba a hacer compromisos nunca terminarían y se quedaría sin nada del Islam. Ella ciertamente no quería que eso sucediera.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

A pesar de su dificultad inicial en vestir el hiyab,<\/em> este tenía mucho sentido para ella. Se dio cuenta que luego de que empezó a cubrirse ya no era abordada por hombres y se sintió mucho más respetada. Esto simplemente se sentía bien en su corazón. La Bianca observa que ama la idea de que las mujeres son un tesoro, que deben ser protegidas y deben ser vistas sólo por aquellos que merecen verlas.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

La Bianca pronunció la Shahadah<\/em> (testimonio de fe) en compañía de un pequeño grupo de amigos. Cuando ella sintió que el Islam era la verdad, estaba hambrienta de saber más. Su esposo y su familia la alentaron a vestir el hiyab, pero tomó un tiempo para que lo vistiera apropiadamente porque tenía que despojarse a sí misma de ser definida por cómo lucía para el mundo exterior.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Cuando le preguntaron sobre la reacción de la comunidad musulmana a su conversión, dijo que al principio ella era “el tema de conversación” simplemente porque era una nueva musulmana.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

La Bianca, ex-chrétienne, Australie<\/span><\/h1>\r\n

 \"\"<\/span><\/p>\r\n

 <\/p>\r\n

Cet article est tiré d’une interview avec Sandra La Bianca, une convertie à l’islam vivant à Perth, en Australie occidentale.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\r\n

Sandra La Bianca est une fille de la campagne, élevée sur une ferme d’Australie occidentale.  Enfant, elle avait un kangourou comme animal de compagnie et aidait sa famille à prendre soin des vaches et des moutons.  Elle chassait également le lièvre et le renard.  Elle n’a pas reçu une éducation très religieuse, mais elle croyait en Dieu et ses parents lui inculquaient les valeurs italiennes traditionnelles.  Dans une famille italienne, les filles sont protégées, pour ne pas dire couvées.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Si elle accompagnait sa famille à la messe, le dimanche, cela demeurait une expérience superficielle, pour elle, car elle n’y comprenait pas grand’chose.  Lorsqu’elle pensait à sa première communion, la seule idée qui lui venait à l’esprit était qu’elle allait avoir une belle robe blanche et qu’on lui ferait réciter certaines paroles – car c’est ce à quoi on s’attendait d’elle.  Pour elle, Jésus et Marie (que la paix soit sur eux) n’étaient autres que des statues décorant l’église.  Toutefois, elle se rappelle qu’elle priait en s’adressant à Dieu.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Au cours de sa jeunesse, elle n’entendit jamais parler d’islam ni d’Arabes.  En fait, ce n’est qu’à l’âge de 16 ans qu’elle se rendit dans une grande ville pour la première fois.  Elle reconnaît qu’à l’époque, elle était crédule et naïve.  Mais elle souligne que ces caractéristiques la rendaient aussi plus ouverte et plus vraie; elle se décrit comme très transparente.  En ville, elle a trouvé les citadins moins près de leurs émotions, plus distants et critiques, contrairement aux gens de la campagne, qui acceptent habituellement les gens tels qu’ils sont.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

À la campagne, la plupart des hommes restent à la ferme et profitent de la vie paisible.  Avec ses tracteurs, ses motos, ses parties de chasse et ses chevaux, la vie rurale est un paradis pour l’homme.  Mais les jeunes femmes tendent à vouloir se rapprocher de la ville, attirées par la mode, la vie mouvementée et les fêtes.  La Bianca quitta la maison familiale à l’âge de 16 ans pour la vie trépidante de la ville.  Comme elle fait partie d’une grande famille italienne répartie aux quatre coins de l’Australie, elle n’eut aucune difficulté à trouver une tante chez qui loger.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Elle travailla d’abord comme réceptionniste et rencontra une jeune Sud-Africaine d’origine musulmane, Tasneem.  Celle-ci ne portait pas le hijab et ne priait pas, mais s’assurait toujours que la viande qu’elle mangeait était halal, c’est-à-dire conforme à la loi islamique.  Bien qu’elle ne fût pas dévergondée et qu’elle ne but pas d’alcool, Tasneem fréquentait les boîtes de nuit avec l’accord de ses parents (!), avec pour condition de rentrer tôt.  La principale chose que La Bianca apprit de Tasneem fut l’existence du jeûne du Ramadan.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

La Bianca se souvient s’être toujours sentie attirée par les musulmans car elle les trouvait chaleureux, amicaux, ouverts et francs, en plus d’avoir un esprit de famille très développé.  Elle aimait socialiser avec ses amis musulmans et l’atmosphère qu’elle retrouvait chez eux lui rappelait sa vie à la campagne (bonne chère et hospitalité).  Elle dit qu’elle se sent bien en compagnie des gens qui se sentent eux-mêmes bien dans leur peau (et fait remarquer que souvent, ceux qui critiquent les autres sont ceux qui ont de la difficulté à s’accepter eux-mêmes tels qu’ils sont).<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Elle aime tout particulièrement les personnes d’origine africaine pour leur chaleur et leur sociabilité et trouve, par ailleurs, que la culture européenne est très froide et dresse de nombreuses barrières entre les gens.  Elle souligne qu’enfant, elle et ses frères et sœurs préféraient les Aborigènes aux Européens et que son père respectait tout le monde, tant qu’ils étaient travaillants et se comportaient avec droiture; il n’était pas le moindrement raciste.  Sa mère, toutefois, était raciste et croyait que les Européens étaient supérieurs aux autres; elle ne ratait jamais une occasion de critiquer les autres.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

À force de fréquenter des musulmans, elle apprit que les musulmans prient cinq fois par jour, mais ce n’est qu’après avoir rencontré son mari qu’elle fit un réel apprentissage de l’islam.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Elle se souvient que dès sa première rencontre avec celui qui allait devenir son mari, il l’amena chez lui pour la présenter à sa mère (son père était décédé depuis quelques années).  Ils décidèrent assez vite de se marier, chacun souhaitant fonder une famille.  Elle prit des cours sur l’islam et se mit à porter des vêtements différents (longues jupes et blouses amples).  Elle raconte qu’au fur et à mesure qu’elle apprenait à connaître Dieu et l’islam, elle trouvait que tout était sensé, que tout était harmonieux.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Elle aimait le concept voulant qu’il y ait des conséquences directes aux actions que posent les gens et que chacun doit s’efforcer de faire le bien.  Cela était si différent de la religion catholique où les gens peuvent faire ce qu’ils veulent, car Jésus a racheté leurs péchés.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Chaque personne est testée de façon particulière, et le plus grand test, pour La Bianca, fut le hijab.  Elle révèle que ce qui l’affecta le plus fut l’obligation de modifier son image.  À la maison, à la campagne, à la ferme, ou au travail, les gens lui demandaient pourquoi elle portait « ça ».  Mais cela ne la découragea pas.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Les premières fois que son père la vit ainsi, il avait l’impression qu’elle ne respectait pas ses amis, car elle s’habillait d’une façon qui leur déplaisait.  Au début, elle se sentait coupable de faire ainsi honte à son père; mais au fur et à mesure que sa foi en Dieu grandit, elle comprit qu’elle préférait plaire à Dieu avant de plaire à qui que soit parmi les humains.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Elle se dit qu’elle ne voulait faire aucun compromis car elle savait qu’elle faisait la bonne chose et que si elle commençait à faire des concessions, elle n’en finirait pas et se retrouverait rapidement au point de départ, c’est-à-dire sans islam. <\/span><\/p>\r\n

Même s’il fut difficile à porter, au début, elle finit par trouver qu’il y avait beaucoup de sagesse dans le port du hijab.  Ainsi vêtue, elle put apprécier le fait que les hommes ne l’approchaient plus comme avant et elle se sentait plus respectée.  Tout au fond d’elle-même, elle sentait que c’était la bonne chose à faire.  La Bianca affirme qu’elle aime l’idée que les femmes sont des trésors et qu’elles doivent donc être protégées et vues seulement de ceux qui méritent de les voir.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

La Bianca prononça la shahadah (profession de foi) devant un petit groupe d’amis.  Elle savait que l’islam était la vérité et elle avait soif d’en apprendre toujours davantage.  Son mari et la famille de celui-ci l’encouragèrent dans sa nouvelle vie et plus particulièrement à porter le hijab.  Elle mit du temps à le porter correctement car elle trouvait difficile de cesser de se définir à travers le regard des autres.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Lorsqu’on l’interroge sur la réaction de la communauté musulmane suite à sa conversion, elle rapporte qu’au début, elle était « l’attraction du mois » parce qu’elle était nouvellement convertie et nouvelle parmi eux.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

La Bianca, Ex-Christin, Australien<\/span><\/h1>\r\n

 \"\"<\/span><\/p>\r\n

 <\/p>\r\n

Dieser Artikel hat ein Interview mit Sandra La Bianca zur Grundlage, einer konvertierten Muslima, die in Perth, Westaustralien lebt. <\/em><\/span><\/p>\r\n

La Bianca ist ein Mädchen vom Lande; sie ist auf einer Farm in Westaustralien aufgewachsen.  Als sie noch ein Kind gewesen ist, hatte sie ein Känguru als Haustier und half bei der Versorgung von Kühen und Schafen.  Sie pflegte Hasen und Füchse zu jagen.  In ihrer Erziehung gab es nicht viel Religion, aber sie glaubte an Gott und ihr wurden traditionelle italienische Moralvorstellungen beigebracht.  In einem italienischen Haushalt werden Mädchen beschützt und behütet. <\/span><\/p>\r\n

Sie pflegte sonntags mit ihrer Familie zur Kirche zu gehen, aber es war oberflächlich; sie hat nicht wirklich etwas davon verstanden.  Wenn sie an ihre Heilige Kommunion dachte, war alles, was sie wusste, dass sie ein weißes Kleid tragen würde, und ein paar Worte aufsagen musste – das war alles, was von ihr erwartet wurde und dies tat sie.  Was La Bianca betraf, waren Jesus und Maria (Friede sei mit ihnen) lediglich Statuen in der Kirche.  Sie betete immer noch zu Gott. <\/span><\/p>\r\n

Während sie heran wuchs hatte sie kein Wissen vom Islam oder Arabern; sie hatte bis sie 16 Jahre alt war, noch nicht einmal eine Stadt gesehen!  Sie gibt zu, dass sie leichtgläubig und naiv gewesen ist.  Sie gesteht sich selbst ein, dass der positive Nutzen darin bestand, dass es sie offener und natürlicher machte; sie sagt, sie trägt ihr Herz auf dem Ärmel. Bald schon hat sie heraus gefunden, dass Stadtmenschen emotional härter und oftmals auch abweisender und kritischer sind, während Landmenschen dazu neigen, die Menschen so zu nehmen, wie sie sind.  <\/span><\/p>\r\n

Auf dem Lande bleiben die Männer meist auf der Farm und genießen das Landleben.  Mit seinen Fahrzeugen, Motorrädern, Jagen und Pferden ist das Landleben das Paradies der Männer!  Junge Frauen blicken normalerweise eher auf das Stadtleben – verfolgen die Mode, wollen „in“ sein, sehnen sich nach Spannung und Partys.  La Bianca verließ das Land, als sie 16 Jahre alt war auf der Suche nach dem hell leuchtenden Stadtleben.  Da sie eine große italienische Familie besaß, die in ganz Australien verstreut lebte, hatte La Bianca keine Schwierigkeiten damit, eine Tante zu finden, bei der sie in der Stadt bleiben konnte.  <\/span><\/p>\r\n

La Bianca bekam ihren ersten Arbeitsplatz als Empfangsdame und dort traf sie ein muslimisches Mädchen mit dem Namen Tasneem, eine süd-afrikanische Muslima, wenn auch keine praktizierende.  Tasneem trug keinen Hijab und betete auch nicht, aber sie vergewisserte sich stets, dass das Fleisch, das sie aß den islamischen Ernährungsvorschriften entsprach.  Auch wenn sie nicht unkeusch war oder Alkohol trank, ging Tasneem trotzdem zur Disco und ihre Eltern erlaubten ihr das, solange sie pünktlich nach Hause kam.  Das Wesentliche, das La Bianca von Tasneem lernte, war, dass sie im Ramadhan fastete.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

La Bianca erinnert sich daran, dass sie sich immer zu Muslimen hingezogen gefühlt hat, weil die Menschen, die sie getroffen hatte, warmherzig, freundlich und mit Sanftmut annehmend waren, direkt und die Liebe einer Familie repräsentierten.  Sie genoss es, mit ihren muslimischen Freunden zusammen zu sein und die familiäre Atmosphäre erinnerte sie an ihre Kindheit auf dem Lande (gutes Essen und Gastfreundlichkeit).  Sie bemerkt, dass sie sich in der Gegenwart von Menschen wohl fühlt, die sich in ihrer Haut wohl fühlen.  Außerdem fiel ihr auf, dass Menschen häufig andere piesacken weil sie sich selbst nicht mögen. <\/span><\/p>\r\n

Sie mag besonders afrikanische Menschen wegen ihrer Wärme und Geselligkeit, die europäische Kultur findet sie dagegen ein wenig kalt mit einer Menge Barrieren zwischen den Menschen.  Sie beobachtete, dass als sie aufwuchs, sie und ihre Angehörigen die aboriginal Menschen mehr als die Europäer geliebt haben.  Ihr Vater respektierte jeden, der hart arbeitete und das richtige tat.  Er war kein bisschen rassistisch.  Allerdings war La Biancas Mutter rassistisch und dachte, europäische Menschen seien den anderen überlegen und sie kritisierte leicht andere Menschen. <\/span><\/p>\r\n

Als sich La Bianca immer mehr mit Muslimen traf, lernte sie, dass Muslime fünfmal täglich beten, aber erst als sie ihren Ehemann kennen lernte, erfuhr sie wirklich, was Islam bedeutet.  <\/span><\/p>\r\n

La Bianca erinnert sich daran, dass ihr Ehemann sie gleich mit nach Hause genommen hatte, damit sie seine Mutter kennen lernte (sein Vater war ein paar Jahre zuvor verstorben).  Sie beide, sowohl er als auch La Bianca, wollten eine dauerhafte Beziehung – das ganze Paket: Heirat und Familie.  Sie fing an, zu islamischem Unterricht zu gehen und änderte die Art, wie sie sich kleidete.  Sie zog lange Röcke und weite Hemden an.  Sie bemerkte, dass alles, was sie über Gott, den Allmächtigen lernte, einen Sinn ergab; alles war wunderschön und harmonisch. <\/span><\/p>\r\n

Sie kommentiert, dass ihr die Vorstellung gefiel, dass es Konsequenzen gab, für das, was die Menschen taten; dass jeder versuchen sollte, das Richtige zu tun.  Dies entsprach nicht der katholischen Religion, nach deren Lehren sie aufgewachsen war: die Menschen können alles tun, und dass Jesus es für sie auf sich nehmen wird. <\/span><\/p>\r\n

Jeder hat eine Prüfung und La Biancas große Prüfung war es, Hijab<\/em> zu tragen.  Sie enthüllt, dass die Tatsache, dass es ihr Aussehen veränderte, sie am meisten bewegte.  Zu Hause, auf dem Lande, auf der Farm oder auf ihrer Arbeit fragten sie die Leute, warum sie „das“ trug.  Trotzdem zog La Bianca weiter lange Kleider und ein Kopftuch an.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Zuerst meinte ihr Vater, dass sie seinen Freunden keinen Respekt erwies, wenn sie sich nicht auf eine Art kleidete, die ihnen gefiel.  Sie gibt zu, dass sie sich schuldig fühlte, weil er sich nicht respektiert fühlte, aber ihr anwachsendes Bewusstsein für Gott, den Allmächtigen, lies ihr deutlich klar werden, dass sie Gott mehr gefallen möchte als irgend einem Menschen. <\/span><\/p>\r\n

Sie sagte zu sich selbst, dass sie keine Eingeständnisse machen wollte, weil sie wusste, dass sie das Richtige tat, und sie wusste, wenn sie anfinge, Kompromisse einzugehen, würde dies nie enden, bis sie ohne Islam bleiben würde! Sie wollte wirklich nicht, dass dies geschah!  <\/span><\/p>\r\n

Trotz ihrer anfänglichen Schwierigkeiten, machte das Hijab<\/em> nun so viel Sinn.  Sie fand heraus, nachdem sie sich bedeckt hatte, näherte sich ihr kein Mann mehr und sie fühlte sich so viel mehr respektiert.  Es fühlte sich in ihrem Herzen einfach richtig an.  La Bianca beobachtet, dass sie die Vorstellung liebt, dass Frauen ein Schatz sind und dass sie beschützt und nur von denen gesehen werden, denen dies zusteht. <\/span><\/p>\r\n

La Bianca sprach die Schahadah<\/em> (das Glaubensbekenntnis) in der Gesellschaft einer kleinen Gruppe von Freunden aus.  Sie fühlte, dass der Islam die Wahrheit ist, und sie war begierig darauf, mehr zu lernen.  Ihr Ehemann und seine Familie ermunterten sie, Hijab<\/em> zu tragen, aber es dauerte eine Weile, bis sie es richtig trug, denn sie musste sich erst abgewöhnen, dass sie nach ihrem Äußeren beurteilt wird.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Als sie nach der Reaktion der muslimischen Gemeinschaft auf ihre Konvertierung befragt wird, sagt sie, dass sie zuerst der “Geschmack des Monats” war, einfach nur weil sie ein neuer Muslim war.  <\/span><\/p>\r\n

La Bianca, Ex-Cristã, Austrália<\/span><\/h1>\r\n

 \"\"<\/span><\/p>\r\n

 <\/p>\r\n

Esse artigo é baseado em uma entrevista com Sandra La Bianca, uma revertida muçulmana que mora em Perth, Austrália.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\r\n

La Bianca é uma garota do interior; cresceu em uma fazenda no oeste da Austrália.  Quando era criança tinha um canguru como animal de estimação e ajudava a cuidar das vacas e ovelhas.  Costumava caçar coelhos e raposas.  Não recebeu muita informação religiosa durante sua educação, mas acreditava em Deus e lhe ensinaram a moral tradicional italiana.  Em uma casa italiana as meninas são muito protegidas.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Costumava ir à igreja com sua família aos domingos, mas era superficial; na verdade não entendia nada.  Quando pensava sobre a Comunhão, tudo que sabia é que devia usar um vestido branco e recitar algumas palavras – era tudo que esperavam dela e assim o fez.  Para La Bianca Jesus e Maria (que a paz esteja sobre eles) eram apenas estátuas na igreja.  Ainda assim, costumava orar para Deus.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Durante seu crescimento não teve conhecimento do Islã ou dos árabes. Nem tinha visto uma cidade até ter 16 anos!  Ela reconhece o fato de que era crédula e ingênua.  Admite que a parte positiva era ser mais aberta e natural, expondo o que trazia em seu coração.  Descobriu que as pessoas da cidade são emocionalmente mais duras e com frequência mais distantes e críticas, enquanto que no interior as pessoas tendem a aceitar as outras como são.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

No interior a maioria dos homens fica na fazenda e gosta da vida no campo.  Com seus caminhões, motocicletas, tiros e cavalos, a vida no campo é o paraíso de um homem!  As mulheres jovens geralmente se interessam pela vida na cidade – andar na moda, agitação e festas.  La Bianca deixou o interior quando estava com 16 anos em busca da animada vida da cidade.  Por ter uma grande família italiana espalhada pela Austrália, La Bianca não teve dificuldades em encontrar uma tia com quem pudesse ficar na cidade.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

La Bianca conseguiu seu primeiro emprego trabalhando como recepcionista e lá encontrou uma menina muçulmana chamada Tasnim, sul-africana, que entretanto não era praticante.  Tasnim não usava hijab e nem orava, mas sempre se assegurava de que a carne que comia estava de acordo com as normas islâmicas.  Embora fosse casta e não bebesse álcool, Tasnim frequentava clubes com a permissão de seus pais, desde que voltasse cedo para casa.  A coisa mais importante que La Bianca aprendeu de Tasnim foi jejuar no Ramadã.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

La Bianca lembra que sempre se sentiu atraída por muçulmanos porque as pessoas que encontrou eram afetuosas, amigas, gentis, íntegras e amavam a família.  Gostava de se socializar com seus amigos muçulmanos e a atmosfera na família a lembrava de sua criação como menina do interior (boa comida e hospitalidade).  Ela comenta que se sente confortável com pessoas que estão confortáveis sendo elas próprias.  Observa também que as pessoas geralmente se importam demais com as outras porque não gostam de si mesmas.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Gosta especialmente de africanos por causa de sua afetuosidade e sociabilidade e considera a cultura européia muito fria e com muitas barreiras entre as pessoas.  Observa que na infância ela e seus irmãos costumavam amar mais os aborígenes do que os europeus.  Seu pai respeitava qualquer um que trabalhasse duro e fizesse a coisa certa.  Não era de forma alguma racista.  Entretanto, a mãe de La Bianca era racista e achava que os europeus eram superiores, criticando facilmente outros povos.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

À medida que La Bianca convivia mais e mais com os muçulmanos ficou sabendo que os muçulmanos oram cinco vezes ao dia, mas só quando encontrou seu marido realmente aprendeu o que era o Islã.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

La Bianca lembra que assim que o marido dela a encontrou, a levou para conhecer a mãe dele (o pai havia morrido alguns anos antes).  Ele e La Bianca queriam um compromisso de longo prazo – o pacote completo; casamento e família.  Ela começou a frequentar classes islâmicas e mudou a forma de vestir.  Passou a usar saias compridas e blusas folgadas.  Ela observa que enquanto aprendia sobre Deus Todo-Poderoso, tudo fez sentido; tudo era belo e harmonioso.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Comenta que gostava da idéia de que existem consequências para o que as pessoas fazem; de que todos devem tentar fazer a coisa certa.  Era diferente dos ensinamentos da religião católica, com a qual foi educada: as pessoas podem fazer qualquer coisa porque Jesus lhes dará cobertura.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Todos têm um teste e o maior teste de La Bianca foi usar hijab<\/em>.  Ela revela que foi a mudança de sua imagem que mais a afetou.  Em casa, no interior, na fazenda ou no local de trabalho, as pessoas perguntavam por que ela estava usando “aquilo.” Apesar disso, La Bianca usava vestidos longos e um lenço.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

A princípio seu pai achava que ela não respeitava os amigos dele se não se vestisse de uma forma que os agradasse.  Ela admite que no início se sentia culpada por ele se sentir desrespeitado, mas sua conscientização crescente de Deus Todo-Poderoso a fez perceber que queria agradar a Deus mais do que queria agradar a qualquer ser humano.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Disse a si mesma que não queria fazer concessões, porque sabia que estava fazendo a coisa certa. Se começasse a fazer concessões isso nunca acabaria, e não restaria nada do Islã!  Com certeza não queria que isso acontecesse.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Apesar da dificuldade inicial no seu uso, o hijab<\/em> fez muito sentido para ela.  Descobriu que depois que começou a se cobrir não era abordada por homens, e se sentiu muito mais respeitada.  Em seu coração, sentia que era o certo.  La Bianca observa que ama a idéia das mulheres serem um tesouro, e que devem ser protegidas e vistas somente por aqueles que merecem vê-las.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

La Bianca pronunciou a Shahada <\/em>(testemunho de fé) na companhia de um pequeno grupo de amigos.  Sentiu que o Islã era a verdade e estava sedenta para aprender mais.  Seu marido e sua família a encorajaram a usar o hijab, mas levou algum tempo para usá-lo adequadamente, porque teve que se desacostumar em ser definida pelo mundo exterior com base em sua aparência.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Quando perguntada sobre a reação da comunidade muçulmana à sua reversão, disse que no início era o centro das atenções, simplesmente por ser uma nova muçulmana.<\/span><\/p>\r\n
