Host: Cedric Du Peloux.


Guest: Zane.


Hey, everyone!

Welcome to another episode of "Becoming Muslim."

Today, we have an incredible story to share with you, a story that will surely warm your heart and inspire you to embark on your own personal journey of self-discovery.

So, grab your headphones and get ready for an uplifting adventure. Let's dive in!


Meet Zane, a 21-year-old with an extraordinary story of transformation.

Growing up in Brisbane, Queensland, Zane was surrounded by crime and drugs.

But amidst this challenging environment, Zane's life took a remarkable turn.


Zane is a true Aussie, born and bred, with a blend of Irish and South African heritage.

He's a go-getter, working in Project Management within the Construction industry.

Outside of work, you'll find him riding the waves as a passionate surfer or cheering on his favorite rugby league team.


In the midst of this noble pursuit, Zane found an unexpected source of inspiration.

It was his next-door neighbor, a devout Muslim, who played an instrumental role in his life-changing decision.

With their guidance, support, and patience, Zane began to explore the beauty and wisdom of Islam.


Fast forward six months after converting, and Zane's life has undergone a magnificent transformation.

He embraced Islam wholeheartedly, finding solace in its teachings and embracing a new way of life.

The positive impact on his well-being and outlook has been truly remarkable.

Zane is thrilled to have bid farewell to the shadows of crime and drugs, now leading a clean, purposeful, and religious life.

He radiates newfound happiness and fulfillment, driven by his strong faith and the support of his Muslim community.

Zane's experience has opened his eyes to the extraordinary power of personal change.


But that's not all! Zane has even begun sharing his knowledge with other troubled Muslim brothers, offering them brief lectures and inspiring them to walk the path of righteousness.

His passion for helping others has only grown stronger since his conversion.


So, dear listeners, whether you find yourself surrounded by negativity or struggling to discover your purpose, let Zane's incredible journey be your guiding light.

Remember, it's never too late to embark on a new path, to embrace a new faith, or to transform your life for the better.


We hope Zane's story has touched your hearts and inspired you to embark on your own journey of self-discovery.

Stay tuned for more extraordinary tales on the "Becoming Muslim" podcast.

Remember, you have the power to create your own story. Until next time!

Karima started asking questions.

Her friend told her to go the mosque to find more information.

She started classes designed for people who were interested in Islam.

Everything she learnt made sense.

It took 6 months. She became Muslim.

Guest: Gina.


Gina shares the truth about Islam and the reason why the Quran is misunderstood.

She explains why you should never believe what you hear on the media and news.

This is an amazing story told by a woman who is not yet officially Muslim.

Gina is 59 years old and lives in rural USA Mid West (2020).

She says that growing up here, there are no other choices in religion, we are just born Christian with no choice.

Gina became disillusioned with the Christian faith when it started being used as a tool for hate around 2016, stirring up hatred against Muslims and Islam.

With the rising of Donald Trump she looked at all faiths but decided Islam was the truth.

She got some leaflets from Islamic outreach workers at a festival.

Gina started reading these leaflets about Islam and it was logical and made sense to her.

Then she started reading the Quran and realised that the Quran was misunderstood by her people due to Islamophobia and that people were saying disparaging things about it.

Gina was also amazed about the big bang theory in the Quran, and that the virgin birth and Jesus are also mentioned there.

After this she started giving out copies of the Quran and giving talks on what Islam the Quran really are.

She started visiting Muslims and was amazed by the people and the way they treated her and the way they acted.

They had kindness and sense of community, the way they took care of each other and the joy that they have and their happiness.

She said that they were the kindest people she has ever met.

Gina is waiting for her husband to agree to convert before she makes an official conversion with him.

She believes he will make the decision to convert in good time.

Guest: Grace Song.


Grace Song had always believed in God and that there was a higher power watching her and that knew everything about what she was thinking.

She started thinking about how lost she was in life and that maybe following a religion could help her.

She began to start talking to God.

She wanted to understand the meaning of life.

As she researched about Islam she was shocked to see how everything was intuitive to her.

She began to overcome the pre-conceived notions she had about Muslims.

Thinking "what's the catch, there must be something that I must be missing, because if this is what Islam really is, then why are so many people saying bad things about Islam"

Guest: Crystal Joseph.


Crystal Joseph always grew up knowing God.

At a young age (as early as 10 years old) her feelings towards the church changed.

She started to follow her gut instinct that it was all wrong.

Finally she felt that Christianity was a block between her and her creator.

After leaving the church she went through a stage of conforming to society.

This included not knowing an answer to the questions of faith and not seeking one either.

Going through this she felt drained.

Crystal tried Buddhism and meditation while still believing in God.

She stated that in England people tend to mix and match and try to make their own answers to questions about God as you go along.

She needed something.

The turning point for her was at the age of 21, she visited Egypt.

She heard the Quran for the first time and felt like this was real life.

A visit to Mt Sinai was one of her first spiritual experiences of Islam.

At the same time she was learning about the scientific proofs in the Quran.

Crystal was getting black and white answers to all her questions.

In this episode Crystal also tells us about her workshop named "Surviving and Thriving - My First Year after Shahada".

It is a free interactive workshop for reverts to help them through their first year of Islam.

She hopes to launch it soon this year.

We will keep you posted here for further details.

Host: Adee Simon Macdowell.


Guest: Abdullah.


Abdullah is a secondary school Maths teacher.

He is from London and originally from Ireland.

He converted to Islam 2 weeks ago.

He had been practising Islam for a few months before he decided to convert.

He was doing the Islamic prayer and even tried fasting all before converting.

Abdullah grew up agnostic and never really had a religious inclination.

He always felt there was a gap in his life.

Then he met a Muslim and started talking about Islam and God.

This changed his life forever.

In this episode Abdullah talks about:

  • How he converted to Islam when he was in lockdown by himself in his own home
  • Learning to do the Islamic prayer before he converted
  • The spirituality he gained through the prayer, which in turn helped him to convert
  • How his parents will feel when he breaks the news

His final advice:

  • Natural disposition (fitra) is built into all of us to be a good person - your own self is denying you from doing it
  • Search out the answers - Islam gives all the answers
  • Try to start practising before you convert to see if you like it
  • Make sure your intention is right before you convert - that you are doing it for God
  • Don't wait too long to do it, if you have the faith in your heart then do it as soon as possible
