This is the story of Bruno from Morocco. He was very devoted to Islam. He went to Egypt to study Arabic and became as proficient in that language as he is in his native French. He went to study and live in Medina, where he got the title of Hafiz for memorizing the Qur'an. He decided to follow one of the most pure and strictest forms of Islam – Salafism. He went on to become an Imam within that sect. He followed all the pillars of Islam, including the pilgrimage to the Hajj. That, however, was not a good experience as the stampede almost killed him.
He had studied parts of the Bible in order to debate and convert people to Islam. He did in fact used that to convert hundreds of people into Islam, something that he now deeply regrets. Bruno's father, interestingly, was a Christian. Bruno tried but failed to convert his father to Islam before he died from brain cancer. Bruno later went to Morocco to teach Arabic, but was expelled and he went to Belgium.
Bruno had many questions, starting with the crucifixion of Jesus Christ. Why did history prove that Jesus died? Why did history prove that he resurrected? Why did Islam say the opposite six centuries later? Bruno originally had preferred to die rather than to become a Christian. When he read the Bible, it created conflicting thoughts with his Islamic belief, so he concluded that the doubts came from Satan. One day he got up to pray and almost involuntarily started “Our Father who is in Heaven”. But this was how Jesus taught his followers to pray, so he slapped himself. Bruno thought he was going crazy. His doubts turned into more and more questions. Why did Christians and Jews believe the promise went through Isaac and Muslims believe it’s through Ishmael, six hundred years after Jesus' time? How can a thousand year foundation suddenly be questioned?
As Bruno yielded to the Holy Spirit, his questions were eventually all answered through many apparent 'coincidences'. It was then that Bruno decided to follow Jesus as his Lord and Saviour. Listen to his amazing testimony here!
Kenza was born in Morocco to an Islamic household that immigrated to the US. She was a Muslim by the book, but yet her heart wasn't fully sold out to Allah. Kenza had followed out of fear. Because she was told that her life’s sins would be forgiven by engaging in the Hajj pilgrimage, and knew she would accumulate many sins in her life, she originally had planned to go only when she grew very old.
Through her teenage years and into her twenties, she started to have dreams. In a recurring dream that would have her wake up around 2am every night, she heard a voice saying 'Kenza, your father is calling you'. She believed this was God calling her, but yet in Islam calling Allah a father was blasphemous.
Kenza went to Mosques looking for comfort, but each time she only felt worse instead. She kept on going because that's the only given way since she was a child. Kenza had Qur'an verses written on her walls when she was going through depression. But the recitation of these verses gave her no relief. So Kenza had a dilemma. She could take her own life and be guaranteed hell, or face an Allah that hated her. It didn’t help that her own family condemned her even more. And to make matters worse, her mosque echoed that condemnation.
One night she went to sleep and remembers seeing the end of times. She saw a man dressed with a white robe descending. She knew it was Jesus somehow, and felt a peace that made no sense given that anxiety was her ongoing default. That made her question why Jesus was assuredly more than just a prophet as Islam teaches. It was difficult to wrap her mind around that. It took eight to ten months to accept and follow Jesus even after the dream. Kenza knew very well about the great cost of following Jesus for anyone coming from a Muslim background. Kenza knew that she would have to inevitably leave her parents and siblings; leave everything that she had ever known.
Kenza's parents believe that their own salvation would be at stake if any of their children left Islam. So her parents would have freaked out if they saw her with a Bible. Kenza was afraid of her own life given the fact that honour killings happen, even in the US. Kenze knew the cost, but yet still decided to follow Jesus. Kenza went from an Allah that wants you to die for him, to a God that sent His son to die for you. Listen to her amazing testimony here.

Fatima was born in Morocco to a Muslim family and moved to the Netherlands at a young age. Fatima lost her mother when she was 4 and lived at many foster homes throughout her childhood. Fatima started seeking God in her teenage years in order to fill and emptiness in her, but Islam didn’t fulfill that craving. She started drinking alcohol and partying, but that also didn’t help so she left that.
Fatima's sister shared with her about a dream she had. It started with her sister finding herself end up in hell and demons started approaching her. Then out of a sudden, an angel repeated 'The Messiah is coming!' and Jesus and his light came to save Fatima’s sister. Although she had no previous knowledge of Jesus, Fatima’s sister somehow knew it was Him. Jesus said: "I am the truth and I am the life. I'm coming back and you have to focus on me". The joy that her sister received from Jesus made her tell Fatima that they needed to focus their eyes in Christianity, that Jesus the Messiah is coming.
Fatima was happy for her sister, but she could not relate with her. Fatima remembers that in mid-2020, she met a lady that looked like her sister. But his person felt moved to tell Fatima that 'Jesus loves you and has a great plan for you'. God had prompted this lady to pray for a Fatima a week ago, something she could prove from her group of Christian friends that she’d been praying. Fatima saw something different in her that radiated warmth and love. She wanted what this lady had. So Fatima decided to follow Jesus and the lady led her to Christ and gave her a Bible.
Fatima felt like the prodigal son, as a daughter in Christ. That means she went far away from God and when she came back, God fully accepted her as a father longs for her lost daughter. She was encouraged to find out that other ex-Muslims had similar stories to hers. Now Fatima knows the void in her heart can only be filled with Jesus. Praise the Lord that we can go to Him in our brokenness.
