Al salam 'ala man itaba' Al-huda
<b>One never converts to Islam, but only returns to his or her original nature.</b>
This was the heading of the site my nephew found, he informed me aboout it, u will find many who returned back to their relegion that they were born for to worship one God, ALLAH. U will find different sectors, Priests, scientists, women, children even. This is to answer back to those who say that those who embrace Islam are only addicts or ignorant and poor people. Allah Almighty will spread Islam instead of all the ferucious effort to attack and kill it, it will spread and it will spread peacfully
by will of Allah as it did before.

Below some examples of those who returned :
1- Waa’il Abdul Salaam is formerly Austin Roe. Now 13, he converted to Islam by his own volition at the age of merely 10 years old. He movingly describes how difficult his childhood was and how the touch of Islam has changed his life entirely around. Many children who grow up to be aggressive or violent are often the result of their environment – whether within the home or without. They are not inherently as such. A right environment and guidance with love and mercy can make them rediscover themselves and rekindle their thought process and inherent potentials. The story of Waai’l Abdul Salaam will bear this out.
He contributed his story to Welcome-Back.org so that it may serve as a lesson for parents, doctors, as well as children.
2- Dr. Dirks is a former minister (deacon) of the United Methodist Church. He holds a Master's degree in Divinity from Harvard University and a Doctorate in Psychology from the University of Denver. Author of "The Cross and the Crescent: An Interfaith Dialogue between Christianity and Islam" (2001), and "Abraham: The Friend of God" (2002). He has published over 60 articles in the field of clinical psychology, and over 150 articles on Arabian horses.
3- It all started with a computer glitch.
She was a Southern Baptist girl, a radical feminist, and a broadcast journalist. She was a girl with an unusual caliber, who excelled in school, received scholarships, ran her own business, and were competing with professionals and getting awards – all these while she was going to college. Then one day a computer error happened that made her take up a mission as a devout Christian. Eventually, however, it resulted into something opposite and changed her life completely around.
4- Dr. Hofmann, who accepted Islam in 1980, was born as a Catholic in Germany in 1931. He graduated from Union College in New York and completed his legal studies at Munich University where he received a doctorate in jurisprudence in 1957. He became a research assistant for the reform of federal civil procedure, and in 1960 received an LL.M. degree from Harvard Law School. He was Director of Information for NATO in Brussels from 1983 to 1987. He was posted as German ambassador to Algeria in 1987 and then to Morocco in 1990 where he served for four years. He performed umrah (Lesser Pilgrimage) in 1982 and Hajj (Pilgrimage) in 1992
5- Dr. Jeffery Lang,(“Dad, do you believe in heaven?”
When young Jeffery asked his father about the existence of heaven as they walked their dog along the beach, it was apparent that this child possessed a highly inquisitive mind. There perhaps was also a sign that he would subject things to a logical scrutiny and validate them from a rational perspective. Little surprise was it, then, that one day he would end up being a professor of mathematics, a matter where there is no place for anything but logic.
These are a few examples of those who have intellect, who are well educated, rich people, who reached to beleive in God's onnes. May Allah the Mercifull help more to reach the light those intellectual persons reached. All u need is a bit of right thinking, read the experience of those people who returned to their creator submitting of his onnes, I pray to Allah the Mercifull to show those who are lost the light.
