I have always tried to leave the true teachings of Islam
and that we Muslims are nice, friendly and we
have a good heart.
My name is Aysha, and I am from North Hungary. I
hard about Islam when I was in secondary school
in the history lessons, because Hungary was under
occupation by Turkey for 150 years.
After that I went to university to study molecular
biology, where I met many Muslim foreign students.
I was always curious why Muslims are so proud that
they are Muslims.
I was Catholic, a good one, but I always had doubts
and I didn't agree with some parts of my religion:
for example, how can God have a son and the
concept of the Trinity was also not believable for
me.
Then I started to talk with my friends, and one time,
when we were having dinner and the Adhan
started, one of my friends asked me to stop it, but I
said no. I was very much impressed by it and
something surely touched my heart.
I don't know why at that summer I downloaded a
Quran program. And I was listening to it in Arabic
and was reading it in English. Then I was thinking a
lot about Islam and I was reading many books about
it.
But then, after two months of thinking I finally
chose Islam. I declared Shahadah in front of two of
my friends. "La ilaha illa Allah, Muhammad rasul
Allah." (I bear witness there is no God but Allah and
Muhammad is the messenger of Allah).
I chose Islam against my culture and my family,
especially my mom.
