Some people claim that I am not truly Korean, but a Korean of Malaysian descent.
They say that Islam can never take root in Korea, and that “native Koreans” will never accept Islam.
I am currently staying in Malaysia and studying Islam. I love Malaysia, and I respect the Malaysian people. I have seen many good things from Malaysian Muslims, and I greatly appreciate their kindness and faith.
However, I want to make this clear.
I am not a Korean of Malaysian descent.
The name I use in Korea is Park Dong-shin, and the name I use internationally is Abdullah Park al-Kuri.
I am a Korean citizen. I was born in the Republic of Korea in 1986, and I grew up in a Christian family in Korea. However, in 2009, I left Christianity and accepted Islam.
I did not accept Islam because I am a foreigner. I did not accept Islam because I am Malaysian, nor because I am Arab.
As a Korean, I searched for the truth, studied, reflected, and became Muslim because I became convinced that Islam is the true religion sent by God.
If you still cannot believe me, then I will reveal my family lineage.
My family belongs to the Jeongnanggong branch of the Munwongong branch of the Hamyang Park clan, which is known as one of the noble clans of ancient Korea.
I am the 28th-generation descendant of the clan ancestor Seon, and the 12th-generation descendant of Jeongnanggong Jong-rin.
According to our family records, the Hamyang Park clan originated from the line of Park Eon-sin, also known as Sokham Daegun, the third son of King Gyeongmyeong of Silla. King Gyeongmyeong granted his third son, Park Eon-sin, the title of Sokham Daegun, and Sokham later came to be known as Hamyang. His descendants then took Hamyang as their clan seat and lived on Korean land generation after generation.
If calculated from the time of Park Hyeokgeose, the founder of Silla, the roots of my surname and family go back approximately 2,080 years.
Even after Park Seon, who is honored as the central ancestor of the Hamyang Park clan, my family continued through the Goryeo and Joseon periods, producing many officials and scholars throughout Korean history.
Therefore, I can say clearly:
I am a native Korean.
This land is the land of my ancestors. As a Korean born on this land, I have the right to be respected for the faith I have chosen.
There is nothing strange about a Korean accepting Islam. It is not impossible for a Korean to become Muslim. Even a person from a deeply rooted Korean family can accept Islam.
I will spread Islam in Korea.
And if God permits, I hope that my descendants will also follow after me, study Islam, become scholars of Islam, and spread the pure faith of worshiping God alone on Korean land.
As proof that I am a Korean rooted in Korean land, I reveal my family lineage. I also reveal the names of my direct ancestors recorded in my family genealogy.
Anyone can verify the history of the Hamyang Park clan and its figures through clan records and surname materials. Also, according to our family records, my ancestors lived on Korean land throughout the history of Silla, Goryeo, and Joseon, serving the people by holding official positions generation after generation without interruption until Japan’s imperial aggression against Joseon.
Below is the direct lineage recorded in my family genealogy.
The direct lineage of Park Dong-shin:
1st generation: Seon 선(善) – 2nd generation: In-jeong 인정(仁挺) – 3rd generation: Sin-cheong 신청(信淸) – 4th generation: Yun-jeong 윤정(允禎) – 5th generation: Sin-yu 신유(臣유), Chungjilgong 충질공(忠質公) – 6th generation: Ji-bin 지빈(之彬), Munwongong branch 문원공파, second branch 2파 – 7th generation: Jang 장(莊) – 8th generation: Chung-jwa 충좌(忠佐), Chiamgong branch 치암공파, Munjegong branch 문제공파, Teacher Chiam 치암선생 – 9th generation: Jeon 전(琠), Hamyanggun branch 함양군파 – 10th generation: Mun-jae 문재(文재), Jimiljikgong branch 지밀직공파 – 11th generation: Won-taek 원택(元擇), Buyungong branch 부윤공파 – 12th generation: Gyu 규(規), Panseogong branch 판서공파 – 13th generation: I-gyeong 이경(而敬) – 14th generation: So-jong 소종(紹宗), Sajikgong branch 사직공파 – 15th generation: Nul 눌(訥) – 16th generation: Jong-rin 종린(從鱗), Jeongnanggong branch 정랑공파, settlement ancestor 입향조 – 17th generation: Sun 순(荀), Jwaranggong 좌랑공 – 18th generation: Su-geom 수검(守儉) – 19th generation: Min 민(玟) – 20th generation: Jae-hwa 재화(再華) – 21st generation: Se-gwi 세귀(世貴) – 22nd generation: Gyeong-bo 경보(慶甫) – 23rd generation: Yong-seo 용서(龍瑞) – 24th generation: Myeong-deok 명덕(命德), great-great-grandfather – 25th generation: Jae-yun 재윤(載奫), great-grandfather – 26th generation: Yun-seok 윤석(潤錫), grandfather – 27th generation: Heung-sun 흥순(興淳), father – 28th generation: Dong-shin 동신(東信)
This is my root.
So if anyone says to me, “You are not truly Korean,” “You are only a Korean of Malaysian descent,” or “native Koreans do not accept Islam,” I will answer:
No.
I am Korean.
I am a Korean born from a deeply rooted family in Korean history.
And I am a Korean Muslim who left Christianity and chose Islam.
A Korean like me can accept Islam. Therefore, there is no problem with many more Koreans accepting Islam in the future.
If God permits, Islam will take root on Korean land as well.

Souček being rugby tackled and no pen, Brentford’s first goal a clear foul, Pablo getting cleaned out in the box but no pen because the player ‘slipped’. VAR in all its glory today. Disgrace.
It's finally here! Remember that weird group of Emirati influencers you keep seeing online. Well I've done a VERY deep dive, & the story is even weirder than you can imagine!

News has reached us regarding the passing of the great pious Imam of Sunnah, Shaykh al-Wālid Rabī’ ibn Hādī al-Madkhalī - May Allāh have mercy upon him and widen his grave.
A calamity, the death of the great scholars of Islam.
To Allāh We Belong and to Him We Shall Return.
توفي شيخنا المجاهد شيخ الفضيلة الشيخ ربيع بن هادي المدخلي ، العلامة الصادق في غيرته على دين الله والعقيدة ومنهج السلف ، الكاشف للمناهج المنحرفة والناقد لها بعلم وعدل ، وكم رأيته يبكي حرقة على دين الله ، وفي آخر لقاء خاص بفضيلته في بيته جمعني وإياه والشيخ صالح السحيمي كان يوصي بالصبر وعدم التعجل وحسن الخلق .
اللهم فارحم عبدك ربيع بن هادي واغفر له واجعله منعما في قبره واجعله في الفردوس الأعلى من الجنة مرافقا للنبي صلى الله عليه وسلم وأعلام السلف ، وأعظم أجور أهله وذريته أجمعين وأحسن عزاءهم وعزاءنا وعزاء كل من أحبه فيك من المسلمين والمسلمات
ولانقول إلا مايرضي الرب وإنا لفراقك ياشيخ الصدق والفضيلة لمحزونون
Arabs have fought multiple wars against Israel. Iran has NEVER in its history killed even one Israeli soldier. Not one! But Iran’s militias murdered thousands of Palestinians in Syria and thousands more in Iraq.
*Mawlid Celebrations*
Quoted From Khutbah On 13th September 2024 by Sheikh Ali Hudhaify
It is the right of the Prophet that we love him and prioritize this love over everything else, this [love] includes obeying what he commanded us with, and avoiding what he prohibited.
It also includes believing in his teachings, and worshiping Allah only and according to His law. The Prophet said,
"None of you truly believes until I am more beloved to you than your father, your children, and everyone else."
(Reported by Bukhari and Muslim).
So, it would be considered disrespectful to the Prophet to engage in innovations, such as celebrating his birthday (Mawlid).
