Ex Muslim | Why I Became Catholic

Ex Muslim answers the question, "Why I became Catholic". A number of years ago I interviewed my friend Reeta about her journey from Islam to Catholicism however we never released the interview on this Youtube channel.

Reeta grew up in a Muslim home and new nothing about Jesus. It was her friendship with a Catholic family and their witness of their Catholic faith which got her curious about Catholicism. One day she noticed the crucifix in their home and wondered, who is that man and why did he die on the cross. Reeta' journey from Islam to Catholicism is moving and inspiring.

We hope you are you inspired by this Catholic conversion story.

This is great! I am an ex muslim myself but didn’t born muslim. I was born catholic but my family were not practicing catholics, in fact they didn’t know anything about catholicism. I never spoke this in a public platform. I grow up in a very liberal home, but was a seeker, end up in Islam and embraced fully. No regrets but did slow me life down for at list for 20 years. I was a propagator of Islam fully enganed in dawah ( propagating Islam ). Things happened gradually, I had always a second thought pushing me to continuing digging as the scriptures say in John 8:32. Islam blocks you completely from everything and it’s very intense, so there is no time to explore second thoughts normally attributed to the devil ( shaytan ). I speak fluent arabic, a lot of people that born in Islam don’t understand Islam fully, most of them don’t even understand arabic but the culture factor is highly strong. I do understand the sister above fully like nobody. Cutting the story short I end up going back to catholicism without any doubt with the extra help of the saints. I can’t describe exactly but felt finally free going back to my roots that I didn’t know much. On the other note it’s great to see ex muslims embracing catholicism and speaking up about everything. I feel there is a need for catholics to know more in contrast to certain segments of protestants that are very active in apologetics towards Islam. Islam has been expose now on the internet despite the amount of rubbish social media push but have to say there is great people out there. Our experiences are not unique. There a lot of people out there debunking Islam. Islam did well in propagating through the 80’s and early 90’s in the West but new comers came, coptic christians, arab christians and ex muslims, thanks God they all started to speak up, wow so much to share.
You’re more than welcome to contact me as you wish with anything need it. Islam is a like a house of cards, remove one and everything collapses!!!

Credo in Deum Patrem omnipotentem, Creatorem caeli et terrae; et in Iesum Christum, Filium eius unicum!

I believe in God, the Father almighty, Creator of heaven and earth; and in Jesus Christ, His only Son, our Lord!

This is the kind of witnessing that all Catholics need to reflect. Reeta is so exuberant with the joy of Christ.
Thank you Ken & Janelle for the inspiring messages

[louiselango]

It was the ACTIONS of the Christian family that spoke to Reeta’s heart and soul that allowed her conversion to take place. No words would matter and they would only be empty sounds if the Christlike actions were not there.
The way we live our Christian faith (or not) speaks volumes to others. Wow! Speaking for myself, I need to be more mindful of how I act and live. This is an important lesson we all need to be aware of. Christ is ALIVE in Reeta, and He must have been alive in the Christian family who helped her conversion. God is truly Great and wonderful!

Am an ex Muslim but now Jesus Christ have save me now am a Christian.

[kellycarroll]

Her story is very moving. I was tearing up while listening to her. The contrasts she talks about between her Muslim family of origin and her Catholic faith are stark. Thank you for sharing this story.

[RosWeeks]

Praise God. Another "lamb" on Jesus' shoulder, a witness to many people. May she be blessed forever. I will pray too for her family.🙏

[TerryZoo]

Reeta is a very strong woman, a true complement to our faith. And that she exudes so much happiness and joy, even after losing her family, is a sign that God loves her as much as she loves him! Thank you for sharing your joy in Christ, Reeta, and to Ken for sharing your story.

[Cindy-utfn]

Reeta’s surrender to Jesus, allowing Him to take charge and direction of her life and wishes, spoke to me. Surrender in times of chaos and trouble is what I will take away from her testimony-may God bless you and keep you, Reeta.

[juliehull]

This was an amazing witness on so many levels. The neighbors who loved her and showed her Christ. The truth she was graced with in mass for the first time. The strength and fortitude in meekness and humility. Her faith and Gods promise unfolding in her life and her awareness of the presence. And her joy joy joy. Praise God! Bless her. Bless this channel!!! Thank you. Come Holy Spirit!

[marianne]

What a wonderful testimony, Rita. It is so good to see and hear the joy in your heart as you speak about your faith. May the Lord use you in a powerful way to bring others to the Catholic Church. God bless you!

[vincentencluna]

The joy radiating from Rita is contagious, genuine. It is the same joy that I always saw in the face of priests and religious.

[dorothyhuggins]

Welcome my sister in Christ. You're testimony is beautiful and embracing. Jesus and the Blessed Mother are with you. Stay strong in Faith. Your joy is infectious and I pray your family will join you too in God's perfect timing. Peace of God be with us all 🙏✌️♥️😇

[annamiddendorf]

So beautiful and inspiring! Please pray for my adult children to come more fully into the Holy Catholic Church & grow in their relationship with Jesus. Thank you! 🙏🕊💕

[elizabethjackson]

Oh wow!!! Thank you SO much Ken for sharing this story with us! It was truly beautiful & Reeta glows with the Holy Spirit! How sad that she may have lost her earthly father but more importantly is that she gained her heavenly Father. Definitely is worth all her sacrifices and her final reward will be amazing! She is filled with His light and shines!! 🙌
