My Catholic Mother Led Me To Islam | Brazilian Revert Story

In this Muslim revert story, Faruq shares how growing up Catholic in Brazil, falling into alcohol, and surrounding himself with criminal company led him to unexpectedly discovering Islam through a friend who wasn't even Muslim himself.Before Faruq reverted to Islam he was a teenager with no direction, drinking heavily and spending time with people involved in drugs and crime, with no real belief that God cared about how he lived his life.After taking his shahada, he transformed completely and began obeying his parents, leaving behind his old lifestyle, and eventually becoming an imam and Quran teacher, helping new Muslims find their footing in Brazil.-Subscribe to the Revert Of The Week Newsletter: https://canyon-mimbs.kit.com/revert-0:00 - Intro0:03:00 - Meeting His First Muslim0:06:01 - Drifting Through Life With No Purpose or Direction0:09:01 - Taking His Shahada After Two Years of Study0:12:01 - Becoming an Imam and Teaching Quran in Brazil0:15:02 - How Islam Changed His Relationship With His Parents0:18:02 - His Mother Called Him a Terrorist0:21:02 - Building a Muslim Community in São Paulo0:24:03 - Advice for New Reverts With No Muslim Community Around Them0:27:03 - The Danger of Having a Weak Foundation in Your Faith0:30:03 - What Every New Revert Should Prioritize First0:33:04 - The Prophet's Greatest Quality0:36:04 - Why the Most Successful People in the World Are Never Happy0:39:04 - His Message to All 8 Billion People on Earth-Clips Channel:    / @canyonmimbsshowclips  Canyon:    / canyonmimbs  Contact Us: [email protected]#Revert #RevertStory #Muslim
