My Jewish Family DISOWNED Me For Becoming Muslim | Umm Yahia Revert Story

from Canyon Mimbs Show · host Mimbs.canyon

This female revert grew up attending Jewish school, observing Shabbat and living fully inside a rabbinically Jewish world. Then the questions started. Why can't you rip toilet paper on Shabbat? And why did King David sound like he was describing a completely different religion?Umm Yahia shares her 7-year journey from born-and-raised Jewish to Muslim revert, a slow, logical process driven entirely by curiosity, the Psalms of David, and a late-night Google search about the shahada.We cover what actually triggered her doubts about rabbinic Judaism, the moment she realised Islam felt more familiar than the Judaism she grew up with, secretly praying before telling her mum, the moment her mum caught her wearing hijab in the street and raising a child as a single Muslim mum in a Jewish householdThis is one of the most thoughtful, nuanced revert stories-Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/0xfSSc1...Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast...Subscribe to the Revert Of The Week Newsletter: https://canyon-mimbs.kit.com/revert-0:00 – Introduction & Umm Yahia's story teaser3:08 – The grocery store conversation that started her doubts5:08 – Discovering rabbinic Judaism vs. the written Torah7:08 – Feeling like Judaism had gone "too far" from God's message13:08 – How Islam slowly entered her awareness15:08 – Saying the shahada alone in her room and trying Ramadan17:08 – The Quran felt familiar ("Islam was just Judaism")21:08 – Her mum's reaction: "I feel like I failed"23:08 – Her grandfather's complete rejection27:08 – Sneaking out of the house in hijab29:08 – Where the courage to put on hijab finally came from33:08 – Did her friend groups change after converting?37:08 – Letting go of old habits was surprisingly easy41:08 – What she'd say to the entire world about Islam-Umm Yahia:   / alhmmmddd  Clips Channel:    / @canyonmimbsshowclips  Canyon:    / canyonmimbs  Contact Us: [email protected]#Revert #RevertStory #Muslim
