Smoking a Blunt While Reading The Quran Led Me To Islam | Puerto Rican Revert Story
from Canyon Mimbs Show · host Mimbs.canyon
From selling drugs on street corners in New Jersey to founding a humanitarian organization and watching his entire family accept Islam.Wesley's revert story is one of the most compelling Muslim convert journeys you'll ever hear. Raised by Puerto Rican immigrants in a Pentecostal household, Wesley drifted far from faith after his parents' divorce, spending his teenage years deep in alcohol, marijuana, and street life before dropping out of high school entirely. Everything changed when a former gang member introduced him to the concept of tawheed, and a pastor's inability to explain why Jesus cried out "My God, why hast thou forsaken me?" gave Wesley all the clarity he needed - he took his shahada in the Bronx projects and never looked back, going on to study at the University of Medina and build the Three Puerto Rican Imams dawah and humanitarian organization.-Subscribe to the Revert Of The Week Newsletter: https://canyon-mimbs.kit.com/revert-0:00:00 - Intro & Opening Highlights0:02:19 - Growing Up Pentecostal In A Puerto Rican Immigrant Home0:06:38 - Dropping Out Of High School & The Street Life0:10:58 - Zulu Nation Meetings & First Encounter With Islam0:15:17 - Reading The Bible Cover To Cover & Questioning Jesus0:19:36 - Taking His Shahada In The Bronx Projects0:23:55 - Finding A Masjid In Paterson, New Jersey0:28:15 - Struggling To Leave Alcohol, Drugs & Old Friends Behind0:32:34 - The Lightbulb Moment: Fully Surrendering To Islam0:36:53 - Accepted To The University Of Medina & 9/11 Changes Everything0:41:12 - His Mother Watches His Transformation & Accepts Islam0:45:32 - The Most Valuable Lesson: Character Is The Greatest Form Of Dawah0:49:51 - Three Puerto Rican Imams & Humanitarian Work Around The World0:54:10 - Message To 8 Billion People: The Truth About Muslims-Wesley: / thepuertoricanimam Clips Channel: / @canyonmimbsshowclips Canyon: / canyonmimbs Contact Us: [email protected]#Revert #RevertStory #Muslim
