In this Muslim revert story, Julie shares how she took her shahada 22 years ago without understanding what she was doing, and her long journey to finally "getting" Islam.Before Julie truly embraced Islam, she spent years following cultural practices and fatwas that made her feel oppressed, until a group of convert sisters helped her unlearn everything and start fresh.After stepping away from Islam completely and then returning with fresh eyes, she discovered the true meanings behind the surahs; especially Surah Al-Ankabut, which changed her entire understanding of the religion.I hope you enjoy the Muslim convert story of Julie, a British revert who went from robotic prayers to finally understanding the simplicity and love within Islam.-Subscribe to the Revert Of The Week Newsletter: https://canyon-mimbs.kit.com/revert-0:00 - Intro2:35 - Taking shahada without understanding5:10 - The 22-year journey of undoing cultural Islam and relearning the truth7:45 - Why she returned to Islam10:20 - Surah Al-Ankabut revelation13:00 - Growing up agnostic with Pentecostal roots15:35 - Experiences with jinn in Muslim communities18:15 - Seeing jinn manifest through people's faces21:00 - The biggest struggle after taking shahada23:45 - Throwing away her CD collection and struggling with identity26:30 - Why converts shouldn't feel pressure to announce their Islam29:10 - Facing discrimination as a white revert31:50 - Why she prefers praying alone over praying in the mosque34:25 - Sisters saving her from believing women are inferior in Islam36:05 - Final message-Clips Channel: / @canyonmimbsshowclips Julie: / juliekabouya.writes Canyon: / canyonmimbs Contact Us: canyon@canyonmimbs.com#Revert #RevertStory #Muslim
