The Kid I Bullied Convinced Me To Become Muslim 10 Years Later | Hawaiian Revert Story

From Kauai to Mecca - a Native Hawaiian Muslim revert who went from opiates, prison, and Islamophobia to finding the one true God. Before Islam, Jihad - born Hoku on the island of Kauai - was the black sheep of his family, falling into opiate addiction at just 11 years old, cycling through rehab and jail for over a decade, and becoming one of the most Islamophobic people he knew after watching 9/11 unfold in his sixth-grade classroom. After 16 years as a serious, Bible-reading Christian who still felt something was missing, he knelt down one night and asked God: "whoever you are" - to guide him to the right religion, a prayer that led him directly to Islam and answered every question Christianity never could. I hope you enjoy the Muslim convert story of Jihad.-Subscribe to the Revert Of The Week Newsletter: https://canyon-mimbs.kit.com/revert-0:00:00 - Introducing Jihad: A Native Hawaiian Revert From Kauai0:03:57 - Growing Up the Black Sheep: Opiate Addiction at Age 110:09:54 - 16 Years as a Christian & Deep-Rooted Islamophobia After 9/110:15:51 - Taking the Shahada & Our Responsibility to New Reverts0:21:48 - His Wife & Kids Accept Islam: Flying to Vegas for the Shahada0:27:45 - Kicking Heroin Cold Turkey & Advice to Those Still in Addiction0:33:42 - The Wisdom Behind Sunnah, Halal, and the Five Daily Prayers0:39:39 - Why Every New Revert Should Prioritize the Salah From Day One0:45:36 - First Umrah: The Long Journey From Hawaii to Saudi Arabia0:51:33 - Masjid Nabawi, Zamzam Water & Standing Before the Kaaba0:57:30 - The Black Stone, the Head Shave & Feeling Spiritually Clean1:03:27 - How Praying Fajr Saved His Life on Kauai's Most Dangerous Road1:09:24 - Building Taqwa & Letting Go of Hawaiian Pagan Culture1:15:22 - Final Message to the World: Return to the Worship of God Alone-Jihad:   / the_hawaiian_muslim  Clips Channel:    / @canyonmimbsshowclips  Canyon:    / canyonmimbs  Contact Us: [email protected]#Revert #RevertStory #Muslim
