I have been studying Islam for over 3 months and this video convinced me not to wait and on 26 September 2013 (a week ago) I performed my Shahadah. My Allah Ta'Allah guide me and strengthen my faith every day.
I awoke early today because sleep is sometimes difficult for me. Although I am Christian I wanted to hear the call to prayer so I went to CZcams to listen. I asked/posted a question regarding why we cannot hear this in the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland. I then listened to another beautiful voice singing Adhan (I think I spelt it right?). And then I came across Joshua Evans. It was the best start to a day of mine in such a long time. I wish now to go to my local mosque to begin my learning. May God bless you all.
Asalam o alikum, i'm a Christian but I am reading Holy Qur'an, as I read Holy Qur'an I have that feeling that I am at home to be honest, while reading it tears started to fall from my eyes. I hope as soon as possible I can convert to Islam but my family are against to it 😥 so help me God.
I am new to Islam, took Shahadah not even 2 months ago. I am eager to learn more. I really want to learn Arabic so I can make Salah properly and read and recite Qur'an
Every question he had as a christian I have. I am reading the Quran for 3 months now and have found only truths - may Allah Ta'allah open my mind to understand Islam and may Allah Ta'alla send someone on my path to teach me how to pray as I struggle with prayer and may I very soon embrance Islam.
I converted from Christianity to Islam in 2012. I thank ALLAH every day that I'm a Muslim. My anxious soul has found peace and tranquillisation. Jesus says in the Lord's Prayer ( Matthew 6:9-13 & Luke 11:2-4) that our Creator forgives us our sins. Jesus never said that he is a God and that he want to be worshipt. The church has made Jesus a God. Dear Christians read the Gospels with open eyes and realize that Jesus is a messenger of our Creator.
He is so right about millions of people wanting hear about Islam, after I took shahada 4 years ago I have since been witness to at least 30 shahadas in my friends and family and almost every other month we see a new person taking shahada. Young people are taking shahada and doing nikah to stay away from haram and this is a miracle to me when you look at the condition we are living in. These young girls are going from wearing bikinis in public, drinking, doing drugs to keeping their prayers and wearing hijab and trying to please Allah Alhoumdulilah we need more and more dawah in America. Please make dua for me that at the present time we are trying to get into the womens correctional facilities in this area to teach about Islam, make dua Allah makes it easy for us inshallah!!
Smooth why I turned to Islam a few weeks ago. The Quran is beautiful, clear, not confusing (awesome read and its a pleasure to read everytime), and inshallah you CAN ASK QUESTIONS!
I am a new believer, fighting to learn the Qur'an and how to pray.
You're welcome, may Allah guide you.
Inshallah I am converting to Islam as my heart feels full from the teaching of The Qu'ran
Christianity lead me to Islam as well
I too am from South Carolina, Myrtle Beach to be exact, only a short drive from Greenville just as Joshua. What he says is so true about growing up with die hard Christian parents. This video had such an impact on my way of thinking that it helped me convert to Islam 5 months ago. It was th best thing I have ever done Alhamdulillah. Allah is the only true God and Insha'Allah may he permit me to grow like a flower in my deen. We only have one life in this dunya and Insha'Allah may u see the truth
Made me cry 3 times, especially when he said: you are hiding this religion from people whether intentionally or unintentionally.
i was told that what my church taught me was right. until i saw this video and decided to make my own choice and surely was looking to change my religion because of personal issues with the catholic church. thanx to Allah this morning i went down on my knees and prayed like a man of Allah. next is to see the Imam, not going to be easy based on the area I stay in but with Faith I will also share this video with the people i meet so they can be healed like me.
excuse me for mis-spelling i am trying my best to learn.
Ashadu an la ilaha illa-llah, wa ashadu anna Muhammadar Rasulu-llah ... I am also a Mualaf, a former ummat of Isa A.S =)
The book will speak for itself. Powerful statement......
The most inspiring convert story i have seen on youtube. I first saw this video in 2010, and at that time it was on a mere 100,000 views and now its on 2.5 million. Allhamdulillah.
no muslim is a muslim if he doesn believe in jesus and all prophets
something we forget how much we Muslim are blessed. thanks for reminding me that and telling me my job.
Wow, as a Christian I was very interested in the journey to find truth that this man had undergone. He was very sincere and authentic. I went through something similar when I was 17.
Islam seems like a beautiful religion! I am trying to learn about Islam cause I been realising this things about christianity and the bible like u bring up here. Maybee one day I will convert to Islam but firt I want to learn more!
God bless the Muslims..I really do love them cos they really practises what God likes and loves .Islam is the most straight forward religion on the planet earth.
This lecture is very dear to me. I listened to it one Ramadhan...I wasn't very practicing back then....But this lecture moved me to tears...I started getting better and better in my Deen...I shared this lecture with a recently converted friend of mine and it moved that person as well...
May Allah keep brother Joshua safe, and reward him for all the good he has done, and what he is still doing.
I once stood on the outside and didn't see the candle under the bucket and it was a miserable state, I had no idea what I was missing... Thank Allah he guided me.
lots of love from Indian Muslim
I really can't understand but am willing to learn about Islam. hopefully I will be enlightened of all the questions in my mind.
ask God in your heart to guide you into the truth then read the Quran ..
may Allah show you the straight path .. ameen .
Donabelle Banuelos
We're all learning... keep doing it and hopefully one day you'll find certainty... InshaAllah...
Thanks guys
Hopefully the questions in my mind will be enlightened..
may i help you ? answering your questions maybe
Thank you... Just wanted to know know how come in islam that prophet Muhammad claims that he is the last messanger of ALLAH..that is the only question that plays in my mind.. Thank you if someone can explain to me clearly..
Allah brought me here for a reason 🙏
a very intelligent man, who really read, understood, questioned till he was satisfied. And after all, he has no hate towards anyone. great journey. awesome.
I came to Islam just over 5 years ago. My family is of Catholic and Jewish religions and I also wished I knew about Islam earlier because its the best thing that has ever happened to me. I had even posted my Shahada video on my CZcams Channel. I used to believe in all the misconceptions that was shown in the media until I did my own research and found that none of it is true and knew this is Religion is for me.
I'm a born Muslim. Seriously, we do not value our faith! :( We keep on sinning, doing mistakes. Watching all these conversion videos and the people they've become, I feel ashamed.. May Allah guide us all..
Aye, I am a southern conservative christian and I have no problem with Muslims, I understand that the extremists are not real Muslims. I wish peace and prosperity between the two of our religions. God bless!
When he said that there is thousands of people dying this very moment and they have never thanked Allah or known about Allah in the purest form, I started to break down. I feel terrible that I am being a light with a bucket on top. Ya Allah, help me continue to do Dawah.
i scrolled down this video to read some hate comments but i literally was almost in tears that so many people are commenting good and sharing how they came to this beautiful religion. may allah guide us all. Ameen
To anyone who wants to learn more about Islam... please don’t be afraid to go to your local mosques cause it’s you who inspire us as Muslims... just know you are not alone. It is a privilege for us. Peace from Australia!
Love from #Somalia , we love you all brothers and sisters who are about to find #Islam :)
Wow this was very inspiring I been looking for answers to truth in my life and started reading the Koran for the first time in my life tonite then after reading a bit came across this video like it was ment for me to see this video cuz I have fell out of Christianity too it's just not for me but Islam seem like it's calling me.
True follower of Jesus (PBUH)
Alhumdulilah!! I watched this and cried because it felt like you were speaking straight from my life!! I was also raised in the Carolina's, by my grandparents in a religious home ( although we were holiness) and I felt all the same things about the bible. Why the contradictions? Why were tings taught the way they were when the bible clearly states something different. I went through so many of the same experiences that this video blew me away. Fighting, a car wreck that potentially should have killed me. And here I am, living my new life as an American Muslim with the belief in Allah in the way that I alwaysss knew in my heart was right
I am a Catholic born and raised.. I have married a Muslim and have learned so much from him and his family.. I have been learning and wanting to know more before I say that I want to be Muslim... This video had me in tears because so much of what he said was true... I say how can I be Muslim if I don't know anything about it... I do not want to learn the culture of Muslims I want to know Allah... That is the part I have so much problem with.. People want to tell me how to dress and how to act but I want to know why Muslims are so strong in the love of Allah...I want peace in my heart... Our children go to a Islamic school and they love it...I learn from them what I can... Please help... MarshAllah some one can..
I have been having the same issues with Christianity....as a child reading the bible and going to church I always used to ask myself...how come God is a jealous God but yet still we pray n worship Jesus who is a man. it always bothered me when the pastor would ask people who came to the alter n gave their testimonies.."who did that for you?" n they would all say Jesus...I ended up just like this guy...a believer in God...but not attached to any religion. And out of all other religions Islam was the only one that made sense to me! I am still learning about it and I plan on fully converting once I move out of my family's home because I know they would not be accepting of my choice to become a muslim...I will be honest I am a bit nervous about wearing a hijab...but I try to keep in mind that I will be doing it for allah...and not for man! I am thankful that I was able to be the chosen one in my entire Christian family to be converted to Islam. Islam is the way of life and I am a firm believer in allah and his teachings.
dear sister we wellcome you to islam may Allah guide you and me both
masha Allah
Where are the haters.. i think i'm in the good side of youtube.
For the past 5 years, I have claimed to be atheist then agnostic. Now I feel God calling me but I have no idea where to turn. I have felt very drawn towards Islam but I have no guidance, I'm not sure how to continue my spiritual journey. I feel inadequate, not good enough to be a Muslim. I feel so lost, I wish someone would come into my life and show me the way but I am too nervous to reach out..
Ashley Hales If you are too nervous to reach out i am extending my hand to help you .Never think you are not good enough to be muslim, Islam is not only for good people it is for those striving to be good too , God almighty dose not demand perfection from us but he demand from us trying and striving and learning from our mistakes and repenting to him , he is the most merciful the forgiving , if you can attend the mosque on the weekends it would be a great learning experience but if that is too hard for you here is a great web newmuslimacademy.org/
It is a new muslim academy and it has video clasess , live chat , and forums where new muslim members can connect , it is a lovely community and they have question and answers sections , i advice you to enrol and join this site it is free and great for your spiritual journey and you will get the sens of community and not feel so alone , i invite you to not give up or be disheartened by the struggle of the journey it is well worth and Islam is not just a religion it is the absolute truth i can not enjoy the beauty of Islam and not invite you when you are seeking so welcome and feel free to ask anything , you have goodness in your heart if you feel God calling to you, a dead heart never feels that way.
Sorry i watched this video because of curiosity, I'm actually a young christian, i cant say this changed me much but i do respect that you guys do not judge each other in the comments, just wanted to say that.
i love jesus pbuh i love muhammad pbuh......they are both prophets of Allah
Allah hu Akbar
christians think they are opposite......muslims dont.......
Ma shaa Allah. I watched this 2 years ago before reverting from Christianity. Im a 16 year old muslimah of 1 year. I remember watching this video and just crying because i identified so much with his story. Alhamdulillah, his story helped me be able to tell my family i wanted to revert and also helped me decide that I wanted to take my shahada. In shaa Allah tomorrow he will be giving a lecture in my city. In shaa Allah I will be able to make it. It would mean a lot to me.
You know the best thing about this video and the way he talked about everything, backed up with proof.. there are no heartbreaking, hatred filled comments here, like in every other video that even has the mere mention of Islam. This is amazing! MashAllah :D
I am Muslim and whenever I become bad boy I start to watch this video and get some inspiration to become good boy
Allah is one,, proud to be muslin
Thank you Allah , no hate comments
I am a Christian and I appreciate everything said in this video.
There is only one thing I understand personally.
I love God. God goes by many names under many cultures.
The only thing I understand about God, is to love your neighbour as you love God, and whatsoever you do to the least of men... To your enemy.. You also do unto God.
Bless Muslims, bless Christians, bless Jewish and all people.
Love one another. Always.
To love each other, the world, in the worst of circumstances is the true meaning of sacrifice.
You sacrifice your hate, for love, understanding and forgiveness for without those, we are nothing.
We should inhale and exhale Gods love and peace with every breath.
Love and peace.... To all.... Who read this.
Wow! I am so glad to hear another former Christian to find the truth about one true God and the meaning of God's true words that is written in the Quran. I was like you in the sense that I tried several religions and never really felt peace with the scriptures. I read the Bible and I forgot that it said Noah was an alcoholic and all of the other misconceptions. I agree that the Bible does say and other holy books that there is one God as the creator and we are the creation. I have found that as a general concept but then find prophet stories to have discrepancies. I converted to Islam and hope that I can be the best Muslim so that I can teach my son and family. The whole point is that there is only One God and everyone should understand the fundamental concept of this meaning.
I just finnished watching it and I know I'm late because this has been posted about 5 years ago and maybe I'm too young but I know something for sure: After Joshua finnished his speech I was about to cry. This speech got into my heart and I'm about to read more about Islam tomorrow and I'm even going to translate this speech in my language because I don't want to put a bucket in my candle and I would give Abdullah his medicine.... so even if it's kind of hard to translate it right away from Joshua's speech (the text would really help though) I will still do it. I feel like there are a lot of people I know out there who don't know English and they're not as lucky as me but I won't stay without doing anything. Thanks to Joshua I will pass this message and hopefully more people will be as lucky as me to open their eyes to Islam. Thank you Joshua and thank Allah for this beautiful religion. I am thankful :)
Inspiring, Powerful and Motivational. Thanks!!!
Every second of your video was worth watching
A man was appointed by a french minister to find out as to why people are converting to Islam...when he returned with his research he also got converted and became Muslim....and later we all know what is going on now....
i geniuenly want a muslim to give me a reason here to convert from Catholisism to Islam
you are worshiping your real god
Islam is the only non-Christian faith, which makes it an article of faith to believe in Jesus (pbuh). No Muslim is a Muslim if he does not believe in Jesus peace be upon him
watch the similarity between Christianity and Islam by Dr Zakir Naik or go to the nearest Islamic center and ask them whatever you want
Muslims, don't direct me to other videos. I just want someone HERE to tell me why I should stop believing that Jesús is not God, and that i should believe solely in what the Qur'an says.
Islam teaches the truth which you will know it is the truth without indoctrination. just learning about the basics of Islam such as the five pillars of Islam and six articles of faith is sufficient for ones believes.
I would say to you , take your time and learn with open mind. and do comparative studies between the two faiths and then follow that which you find to be the most reasonable.
because ! good enough?,
I feel my heart moving to Islam. I opened up CZcams one day to Yusef teaching Arabic and once I started picking up the language, my heart opened up and it made me cry. I am a black woman, single parent, looking for the truth and I feel from the message, I have found my answer. I am seeking more knowledge, can someone help me. Islam is where my heart it. Allah's teachings is like music to my soul. This is a beautiful testimony. I can totally relate to this man.
I need help.. ok I was born and raised in the church my father has and still is a Rev.. I've learned so much and I'm ready to start my journey with Allah (swt) I'm ready to convert.. But i dnt knw how to sit my dad down and talk to him. I'm nerves of wat he may say even think of me ik I'm not suppose to care wat anyone thinks.. I just dnt knw..
i didnt see any hate comment here
that's good :D
He and I have a lot in common. I cannot say that I was raised in the church. I cannot say I was raised by a religions family but I did go to church, I read the bible my mother was a women who spoke of God.
I always wanted to believe in something but at the same time I always placed a high value on logic and everything that made practical sense. I used to always try to make sense of the Bible and faith in God but it was never easy and it was never as easy as the logic enshrined in the Quran.
I never knew it until now but I used to read the Bible a lot. I still know a lot of the stories from the Bible. Those stories from the Bible is what made it possible for me to be a Muslim today.
I’m only 10 mins in and I’m already intrigued by this man
Hey, I did my shahada at this Masjid. This will be my 6th Ramadan. I was a very heavy Christian then. After becoming disillusioned with Christian churches, I researched where the book called the Bible came from. I realized that is is really a Novel, written by the enemies of Isa (alahi salem) in an attempt to get the followers of Isa to come into the existing Roman church, which had a trinity. The Novel called the bible renames Isa as Jesus (sounds a lot like "horus" from the mythra trinity of the Romans) and was obviously rewritten or parts of it completely fabricated (as in the Book of Acts) from the documents brought in (from the elders of all the churches) to the coucils of Nicea and Constatinople in 325 ad. It is full of soap opera scenes and very a emotionally cultish book and subsequently religion.
alhumdullilah, my eyes were opened.
The comment section had me crying. 😭 Ma shaa Allah SubhanAllah. May Allah guide us all. Ameen ❤️
honestly I feel humbled listening to these courageous reverts brother,sisters stories and find myself thinking would I have been able to find Islam if not being born Muslim!we Muslims should not be hesitant to invite people to truth as they will ask us on judgment day why we didn't.
I'm speechless.
This is amazing. Thank you very much for this and Ramadan Kareem.
I hope i can tell everyone about islam.... i swear in islam you will find the most happiness ever with your relation with God. Thank God for giving me islam and making me close to him i hope i can tell everyone how most happiness i feel when i read quran and talk to allah.
this vid is one of the most epic inspirational vid ever
Subhanallah! How Allah guides people!
One of the most beautiful conversion stories ever. May Allah bless this man and his family, and us too. Ameen!
Alhoumdulilah I have come from a similar story! May Allah continue to guide the people to the truth of Islam!! I am happy to have this video to send to some people struggling with Christianity! JazakAllah Khairen
Thank you brother for bringing me closer to the religion of Islam
I've just picked the Quran after a long time I'm reading Surat staff and Sarah alimraan im grateful

Welcome to the most beautiful religion of islam,
One of my most favorite convert story.this inspires me in so many level.
it is time convert to islam

that was a mind blowing week .
ALLAH AKBAR x INFINITY
I have Watched the video many time and i enjoy it each time ❤️ May Allah guide the non-muslims to Islam.. Proud to be Muslim.. alhamdulillah ❤️
who still looking this video in 2017
The Quran explains who Allah is very simply. It says, "Say Allah is One. He is independent. He is neither a father nor a son. And He has no peer." Think about God and tell me which part of this is false. You know this is true.
I laughed so much when he explained his first time at a Mosque Mashallah he is a good storyteller. I'm really inspired by his story.
this guy is truly amazing, such a blessing from Allah to us muslims to have him as our brother subhanallah..
thanks for given me the answer to all of my question.. there should be more people like you.
His story is really amazing !
Our creator truly responds
When we wholeheartedly ask
Him to guide us.
I saw this video many times. Thanks brother Yusa Evans, it made me more strong my faith in islam. Peace to all people, both moslems and non-moslems...
I really am considering Islam, but I have some questions. 1: why did God/Allah create us? 2: can evolution and Islam coexist? 3: How do you know for sure Islam is real? Like any personal stories or experiences. I have a hard time with faith, but for some reason I keep coming back to Islam. It keeps sparking my interest
All these questions have been answered by famous scholars like Zakir Naik :) I suggest you look them up.
Goosebumps every time. This lecture never fails to inspire me
You have to understand that all these confusions in the Bible stem from one problem: people who wrote the Bible never met Jesus (as). Some authors were influenced by the politics in their eras
Alhamduallah I'm born in Islam. But I can't stop listening to your story brother jushwa...have been listening to it on and on for 7 years now..and every time I go in tears...
Just tou were searching for the truth Allah SWT guided you ...what an amazing story
how happy Iam to see like this amazing guy.he is real methodical and rational he is good example for everyone who want to seek the real God.
In the name of Allah, the Entirely Merciful, the Especially Merciful.
Allah in the name of The Most Affectionate, the Merciful.
All praise unto Allah, Lord of all the worlds.
The most Affectionate, The Merciful.
Master of the Day of Requital.
We worship You alone, and beg You alone for help.
Guide us in the straight path.
The path of those whom You have favoured. Not of those who have earned Your anger and nor of those who have gone astray.
i live in an islamic country, but dont know why people here start to forget about Allah, they just pray in friday jumaah only, how to correct them?
Dear son,you have brought tears to my eyes,tears that I only she'd for my Almighty Allah,Ameen.Ameen,Ameen.
Islam is the solution to humanity cause it has all the answers to every question on religion and life
i am muslim and when i hear him,sometimes it was funny i laugh,sometimes i cryyyy…..MASHALLAH ALLAH SEND US THIS BROTHER …………..
I always come back to this and some other videos. I listen to it while working like i would work listening to radio. Maybe i've heard this lecture 5 times or more because after listening I get some admiration and motivation. Thanks for sharing your story. May Allah lead us all the right way.
That's a great story of he miraculously survived that car crash!! And the sheriff was right. God had a purpose for him in surviving that car crash unharmed.
If somebody who Is a religious Muslim want to talk with me about Islam and learn me some things I would be so happy :)
Hi Josefina, i'd be more than happy to answer questions and convey the reasons & proof why Islam is the 100% truth. Please add me on Google Hangouts, my email is: taxcalau@gmail.com
i would be honored to try and answer any questions you have .
Masha Allah your story is a very beautiful story very inspirational May Allah protect all Muslims
im a new muslim just 1 month when i feel in my heart the truth and god show me all the answers to my question.....i cant help it so i went to the mosque and do my shahada...the very first thing i wanted to do is to pray because i know this is what god us wanted us to pray....and alhamdullah i learned at for two weeks
