Margaret Marcus - Maryam Jameelah

I was reading the NST newspaper when i found in book section, a book called The Convert : A Tale Of Exile And Extremism. I was so intrigue by the title of the book that i began to google about it. And i am extremely glad that i did. 


It is a book written by Deborah Baker about a Jewish woman who convert to Islam and her insight on the religion. In short, borrowing words from the reviewer as 'a stellar biography of the American woman who would become one of the most influential voices of Islamic revivalism. It is a thought provoking look at a life of radicalism and it's consequences.' 

I found Maryam Jameelah and her thoughts to be inspiring and an eye opener. She had so much strength and believe in herself that she goes on to do what she knew was right. To think that it all happened in the 50's and how she found her path just goes on to show how truly Great our Creator is. Subhanallah!!! Allah Is Great!! 


She now resides in Pakistan and is very active in voicing her thoughts, view on Islam and the West.   

Here is some transcript of the interview with Maryam Jameelah. May Allah bless her life so that she could continue her fight for Islam and opened the eyes of the non believer, how great our Creator and how truth our religion is. Ameen.
