My Journey to Islam


Why Islam?

Muhammad Martin shares his unique journey that brought him to Islam. Followed by extensive Questions & answer session.

[ Allaah is He Who has created the heavens and the earth and sends down water from the sky, and thereby brought forth fruits as provision for you; and He has made the ships to be of service to you, that they may sail through the sea by His Command; and He has made rivers {also} to be of service to you.] Soorat Ibraheem {14:32}

[ And it is He Who spread out the earth, and placed therein firm mountains and rivers and of every kind of fruits He made Zawjain Ithnain {two in pairs - may mean two kinds or it may mean: of two sorts, e.g. black and white, sweet and sour, small and big, etc.} He brings the night as a cover over the day. Verily, in these things, there are aayaat {proofs, evidences, lessons, signs, revelation, etc.} for people who reflect.] Soorat Ar Ra'd {13:3}

[ Allaah is He Who sends the winds, so they raise clouds, and spread them along the sky as He wills, and then break them into fragments, until you see rain drops come forth from their midst! Then when He has made them fall on whom of His slaves as He will, lo! they rejoice!] Soorat Ar Ruum {30:48}

[ Allaah is He Who created you in {a state of} weakness, then gave you strength after weakness, then after strength gave {you} weakness and grey hair. He creates what He wills. And it is He Who is the All-Knowing, the All-Powerful {i.e. Able to do all things}.] Soorat Ar Ruum {30:54}


Keynote Speaker:

Imam Muhammad Martin
, currently serves as second Imam and also is head of the da'wah department at Al-Muntada Al-Islami, Parsons Green.

Sidi Muhammad Jihaani
, formerly the pride of the Libyan national football team, moved to the UK where the state of the Ummah sparked a fire within his heart initiating his mission of Da'wah. The Sheikh's simple lifestyle and unique Da'wah techniques have been the cause of his success in this field, with hundreds if not thousands of shahaadahs under his name. However, due to immense humility and sincerity, Sheikh Muhammad Jihaani is hardly known amongst the masses, but nonetheless greatly respected by the few.

And who is better in speech than he who [says: "My Lord is Allâh (believes in His Oneness)," and then stands straight (acts upon His Order), and] invites (men) to Allâh's (Islâmic Monotheism), and does righteous deeds, and says: "I am one of the Muslims." (33:41)
