REPUBLIKA.CO.ID, he asks Jill just called. Embraced Islam several years ago, he has steadily become Muslim. "God willing, Islam will I bring to death to pick up," he said. Here's his story about his choice in Islam: 

"As a teenager, I was moonlighting in a restaurant owned by Palestinians. Yes, the owner was a Muslim. This is my first time, American-born white adolescents, contact with Muslims. He was pious. He treats employees with a" heart ". He welcomed everyone only with friendly, bersalamaan. He is very different from the Muslims that I know. 

Sign in college, I decided to choose a department history middle east. Here, I know more jauhtentang Islam from a historical perspective. Who is spreading the teachings of Islam, how he is, what the contents of his teachings, and so on.My heart is increasingly captured in Islam. But that has not been decided adopt Islam. 

On the way then, I became acquainted with a young man who introduced me to Islamic Sufism. Of the youth who later became my husband, I conclude one thing about Islam: religion of logic and knowledgeble. One word that I always remember: "Jill, Islam is a religion of logic. He is not only a religion but a way out for life." 

And I prove it. Every time there is a problem, Islam led me to calm down and get out of the problem. Islamic teachings can also be accepted sense. In fact, for example, for trifles jilbabpun why women should wear, no logical reason that can be accepted sense. 

I decided berislam not by blindly. I study it first. I am very cautious person. Yes, a husband who introduced me further on Islam, but his opinion is not set in stone for me. I still follow Islamic education classes, ask other friends, and so on.Basically, I keep learning. 

Embrace Islam is the most beautiful thing in my life journey. Insha Allah, I will take him till death picked up. Berislam, not just say the shahada, is finished. Insha Allah, I will continue to learn about Islam, improve and continue to keep my faith.Insha Allah, may Allah always guide me. "
