Jean-Bosco is a young man who earns his living as a sales assistant in a shop. Despite growing up outside the fold of Islam, he always felt a deep attraction toward Islam and the Muslim way of life. He admired Muslims, their faith, and their devotion, yet he did not know how to take the step of becoming a Muslim himself. This longing remained in his heart for years.
One day when a group of duat from IERA was passing through the area, they met Bosco and began a friendly conversation with him about Islam. What seemed like a simple exchange of words became a life-changing moment. The clarity of the message, combined with what Bosco already felt in his heart, immediately resonated with his fitra. Without hesitation, he embraced Islam.
Jean Bosco later described the moment with deep emotion:
“It was a moment filled with joy. My dream came true when I met the duats, because I always wanted to be a Muslim but did not know how.”
A few days after his conversion, Bosco began learning the foundations of Islam—how to pray, the basics of belief, and the values that shape a Muslim’s character. With determination and sincerity, he committed himself to learning and practicing his new faith.
His journey reminds us that Islam is not foreign to the human soul—it is a return to one’s true nature. When the truth reaches a sincere heart, the fitra awakens, and guidance follows by the will of Allah.
