Abdur-Raheem Green - How I Came to Islam

About this lecture

In this powerful personal account, Abdur-Raheem Green traces his journey from a privileged Catholic upbringing in England and Egypt, through years of spiritual searching across Buddhism, philosophy, and drug use, to his eventual embrace of Islam. He shares the pivotal moments that led him to the Qur'an — including the profound impression made by his Egyptian cook Ibrahim's simple, sincere prayer — and the personal struggles, relationships, and a remarkable answered dua that finally brought him to pray five times a day. The lecture also includes a candid Q&A covering the meaning of Iman, how to become Muslim, the importance of family ties for converts, and the inner and outer dimensions of Islamic practice.
