🚨 A Christian woman who converted to Islam shares her reason for embracing Islam:
“When I used to commit sins, I would go to the priest and confess my sins to him. The priest would make me prostrate before him and act as if he were a ‘god’ on earth. He used to say that if the priest forgives, then God in heaven also forgives — meaning there is no forgiveness without the priest as an intermediary.
The shocking thing is that the priest knew all my secrets.
But in Islam, when I commit a sin—whether intentionally or unintentionally—I return directly to my Lord, without any intermediary, and I seek forgiveness from Him alone, without anyone knowing my secrets, not even my father or a priest.
When I wanted to understand why the priest knew our secrets and why forgiveness was only through them, I searched in Islam and found the Holy Qur’an saying:
‘They have taken their scholars and monks as lords besides Allah, and also the Messiah, the son of Mary…’
And I was amazed by another beautiful verse in the Qur’an:
‘And when My servants ask you concerning Me, indeed I am near. I respond to the call of the supplicant when he calls upon Me…’
So all praise is due to Allah for the blessing of Islam. What a great blessing it is.
There is no god but Allah, and Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah.”
