I made a similar thread some months back, but it was deleted in an 8ch hiccup where other threads were also randomly deleted. I thought that this may be a good time for the thread for the reverts to bond or for lurkers to see how relatable Islam is. :)

My story:

>be raised as Christian (specifically Catholic) in the most religious region of Europe

>family has been Catholic since the religion was first to the pagans here in the 10th century

>parents move family west for move opportunities

>be exposed to various different viewpoints and religions for the first time

>enter a period where I want to become a priest

>ironically start learning about Islamic theology in a World Religions class at a Catholic high school

>woa religion makes sense for the first time ever

>personally take the Shahada alone at 16

>4 years later take it with Muslim witnesses

and here I am a year later. :)

I reverted to Islam because it made sense in the ways that Christianity didn't. If not for Islam, I would probably be an atheist right now.

Post your stories bros and sisters.

I find your story very interesting brother, from the depths of a conservative christian country, Allah (swt) guided you to tawheed. I am a born muslim but I personally know 2 ex christian converts. This is confirmed by statistics and foretold in the quran.

>Among those who have converted to Islam, a majority come from a Christian background. In fact, about half of all converts to Islam (53%) identified as Protestant before converting; another 20% were Catholic. And roughly one-in-five (19%) volunteered that they had no religion before converting to Islam, while smaller shares switched from Orthodox Christianity, Buddhism, Judaism or some other religion.

Surah Al-Ma'idah

5:82 You will surely find the most intense of the people in animosity toward the believers [to be] the Jews and those who associate others with Allah ; and you will find the nearest of them in affection to the believers those who say, "We are Christians." That is because among them are priests and monks and because they are not arrogant.

5:83 And when they hear what has been revealed to the Messenger, you see their eyes overflowing with tears because of what they have recognized of the truth. They say, "Our Lord, we have believed, so register us among the witnesses.

5:84 And why should we not believe in Allah and what has come to us of the truth? And we aspire that our Lord will admit us [to Paradise] with the righteous people."
