Chile 🇨🇱 | Diego’s Testimony: A Journey to Islam and Peace
A year ago, Diego’s journey to Islam began in a way that few would expect. Raised with a belief in the existence of one God, Diego’s faith set him apart from both his family and society. However, his personal belief in monotheism was only the beginning of a much deeper exploration of life and faith.
Diego’s passion for sports, particularly combat sports similar to UFC, led him to admire Muslim athletes who had made their mark on the world stage. His respect for these athletes sparked his curiosity about Islam—their faith, their discipline, and their way of life. This admiration quickly turned into a desire to learn more. Despite the challenges of finding Muslims in Chile, Diego eventually connected with iERA, a pivotal moment that would change his life.
The more Diego read and learned about Islam, the more he felt drawn to its teachings. When he encountered the Shahada—the declaration of faith—and understood its meaning, he knew in his heart that this was the truth. “This is the right religion: the worship of the one God,” he thought to himself.
Embracing Islam wasn’t just about belief—it was about becoming part of something greater: a community united by the belief in one God. His decision to embrace Islam was an important and life-altering step.
Today, Diego reflects on the positive changes Islam has brought into his life. “Islam has brought me discipline and peace,” he shares. Despite the challenges ahead, he’s determined to continue learning, growing, and practicing his faith one step at a time.
Diego’s story is a testament to the transformative power of Islam. His journey reminds us that the path to peace and discipline is not always easy, but it is always worth it. May his story inspire others to seek knowledge and embrace the beauty of Islam, wherever they may be
