Imagine telling your Dominican family that you converted to Islam? Well I did just that & here is what they said, “why did you choose Islam?”, ”who brain washed you? , & one said “I will not stop eating pork because you converted”.

Before telling my family , I made Dua in my car asking Allah (God) to give me the strength to tell them . And when I tell you, Allah did just that, Alhamdulillah (praise be to God)! I was able to to tell them, ”I was not brain washed, I made this decision based on my own research

I did some research for about 3 years on & off. During that time , I completely stop eating pork as well. I also said “everything that the American & Spanish media portray is not always true!”. “You can’t judge something you have no knowledge of !”

Lastly, “ you can eat what you please, I’m not the one to judge”. Thanks to Allah, some of my family & friends have been very supportive during this Journey. Thank youhttps://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="💚" title="Green heart" aria-label="Emoji: Green heart">!
