In this Muslim revert story Ayeshaa Mercedes shares how a traumatic childhood, gang life, and her father's near-death stabbing led her to taking her shahada and becoming a Muslim.Before Ayeshaa reverted to Islam she grew up with a paranoid schizophrenic father in and out of prison, spiraled into gang life and excessive drinking, and believed God was irrelevant to her life as an atheist.After meeting Muslim rappers who spoke about the torture of the grave, she panicked about dying as a disbeliever, and when her father was stabbed eight times, she cried out to Allah and felt a warmth embrace her like she'd never experienced before.I hope you enjoy the Muslim convert story of Ayeshaa Mercedes-0:00 - Introduction 4:37 - Dad's paranoid schizophrenia and living in fear9:14 - Moving schools and developing anger issues13:51 - Identity crisis and colorism in school18:28 - Getting expelled and entering gang life23:05 - Spiraling into drugs, alcohol, and self-destruction27:42 - Finding family in broken street kids32:19 - Living with mentally unstable father36:56 - Dad's schizophrenic episodes and daily ranting41:33 - Suicidal and getting psychiatric diagnosis46:10 - Meeting Muslim rappers and learning about Islam50:47 - Dad stabbed eight times in his flat55:24 - Crying out to Allah and feeling His warmth59:13 - Taking shahada at 25 and going all in-Clips Channel: / @canyonmimbsshowclips Ayeshaa: / ayshaa_mercedes Canyon: / canyonmimbs Contact Us: [email protected]#Revert #RevertStory #Muslim
