Not only does it encourage you to read, it tells you how many verses you've read,
00:00:03.180
how many pages you've read, how long you've been on it, and best of all, the Hasana counter.
00:00:07.340
Download the Qur'ani app now and have a Ramadan with Allah's book like you've never had before.
00:00:30.000
So I got an English Bible, and so I started studying, I started taking notes, I downloaded
00:00:42.980
the Bible app, I joined Elevation Church, which is like an organization from North Carolina,
00:00:50.720
and they would broadcast their sessions online, so I would watch like two or three times a
00:00:58.280
week, you know, church, and so, yeah, and that started that, and so everything was going
00:01:05.040
fine, you know, and I've always, I always prayed, and I always asked God to guide me, to always,
00:01:12.540
to make me a better person, to lead me to the right path, right, so in this video popped
00:01:25.720
At the time, I didn't know anything about Islam, I didn't know what a Muslim was, the
00:01:31.640
area I live in, I can count on my fingers how many Muslims I've seen, Muslim women that
00:01:37.880
I've seen, it's not too much, I don't know any, anything where I live, there's probably
00:01:46.420
like nine churches around me, just where I live, so it's a very Christian community, so when
00:01:52.960
I, yeah, so that's all I knew, so I was just trying to get back into, you know, finding
00:01:58.480
God and doing what's right, so this video popped up, it's about Christianity versus Islam, I think
00:02:06.600
it was the Muhammad Hijab and David Wood debate, yeah, yeah, so I kept delaying that video for
00:02:15.960
weeks, but it just kept on popping up whenever I watch church online, it just kept on popping
00:02:22.340
up, yeah, so I was like, let me just watch this video, and even though it's two hours long,
00:02:30.440
let me just concentrate and watch this video, I wasn't really taking sides, because I was still
00:02:38.480
learning about Christianity, and I didn't know what Islam was, so I was just kind of in the middle,
00:02:44.120
I was trying to, you know, humble myself, you know, and listen to, I think it was Muhammad
00:02:50.300
Hijab, so yeah, and I watched the video, and then after that, it was like, my whole mindset changed,
00:02:58.220
I'm like, Islam, one God, Christianity, Trinity, so three, but Islam seems so much simpler than
00:03:11.020
Christianity, why is that, so then I started watching more of Muhammad Hijab videos, and
00:03:18.740
then your videos, and I, and then I just kept learning about Islam for about seven to eight
00:03:23.760
months, so yeah, eventually, I will, I kept watching videos about Christianity, and Islam
00:03:30.980
compared, and then eventually, I just started watching videos just about Islam, so once I
00:03:37.040
learned more about Islam, and that I really didn't believe in Christianity anymore, it was
00:03:45.780
just something that I just grew up with, no one really taught me that much, even though my
00:03:52.800
family has two pastors, they own a church, but my, my part of the family, they, we weren't
00:03:58.860
really devoted, like I said, so you wasn't, you wasn't that, okay, would you say that you
00:04:04.520
was at a point of your life where you was not, was you ever a practicing Christian?
00:04:11.500
Okay, so did you have a moment in your life where you was like, okay, I want to be a practicing
00:04:18.060
So then where, is that when you made the prayer to God, or did that happen after?
00:04:23.740
So did you say, okay, God guide me, I want to be a practicing Christian, or did you want
00:04:28.260
to be a practicing Christian, and then ask God for guidance?
00:04:32.500
I, yeah, I wanted to be a practicing Christian, and then ask God for guidance.
00:04:39.880
Yeah, so, yeah, I, it just came a point, I think it was December 28th, it was that night
00:04:48.080
where it was time for me to go to bed, and I wanted to pray, but I no longer wanted to
00:04:58.200
So, yeah, so, I just got up and went to bed, and then, for four hours, I just cried, because
00:05:07.700
I just didn't know how to pray, I just didn't know how to, what to believe in, I didn't know
00:05:15.700
I was very, almost confused, but I knew I wanted to be Muslim.
