Military Spy Converts To Islam After CRAZY Experience In Iraq

from Canyon Mimbs Show · host Mimbs.canyon

He spent years in Australian military intelligence, working across the Middle East in war zones, learning Farsi and Dari and somewhere between Iraq and Syria, something started to shift.Joule is a former military intelligence officer, security professional, and now Muslim revert. In this episode, he breaks down the full story from being first approached about Islam in 2003 by an Iranian man in Melbourne, to studying the deen for nearly a decade before finally taking shahada, to selling off his watch collection, giving up eight luxury cars, and finding more peace in a single sujood than he ever got from a platinum Rolex Daytona.This one covers the stuff most revert conversations don't: what it actually looks like to give up materialism after you've genuinely had it all, how studying the Prophet ﷺ changed his leadership style at home, what his first Ramadan was really like (spoiler: the doctor had to get involved), and what he'd say to every single person on earth if he had the chance.If you're on the fence about Islam, considering reverting, or just want to hear what real transformation looks like in a man, this is worth your time.-Spotify: l1nk.dev/0pyfvukApple Podcasts: l1nk.dev/8l9192xSubscribe to the Revert Of The Week Newsletter: https://canyon-mimbs.kit.com/revert-0:00 - Introduction & military background1:27 - First dawah encounter in Melbourne, 20032:54 - Working in the Middle East & early impressions of Islam4:21 - The Iraqi colleague who lost his 2-year-old son and came back to work the next day5:48 - Studying Islam for 10 years before reverting7:15 - The final switch.
