Richard Chisenga,is a devout Catholic from Zambia and well known for his outspoken criticism of Islam.
He would often engage in heated debates with his Muslim friends, questioning the validity of their faith, despite their efforts to share the message of Islam with him, Richard remained unconvinced.
One day, Richard received an invitation from the iERA team to an Islamic event in his hometown and out of curiosity, he decided to attend.
As he listened to the speakers and engaged with the attendees, something remarkable happened. The message of Islam began to have an impact on his heart, and for the first time, he saw the beauty of the faith.
Over the next few weeks, Richard found himself drawn to the teachings of Islam, he began to read the Quran, attend Islamic lectures, and engage in conversations with Muslims. The more he learned, the more his misconceptions about Islam faded away.
In a remarkable turn of events, Richard Chisenga, the once outspoken critic of Islam, embraced the faith in front of his family and friends in Zambia. His transformation was a testament to the power of da’wah (inviting others to Islam) and the impact of Muslim events.
Richard’s story serves as a reminder to Muslims to continue sharing the message of Islam with confidence and compassion. By engaging in more events and activities, we can create opportunities for others to discover the beauty of our faith. Let us be inspired by Richard’s journey and strive to make a positive impact on those around us.
May Allah guide us all on our paths and grant us the ability to share His message with the world. Ameen.
