Hardships Strengthened My Resolve on the Path of Ahl-ul-Bayt (AS): New Convert
After embracing Islam and converting to Shi’ism, I faced many difficulties but they only enhanced my resolve to walk on the path of Ahl-ul-Bayt (AS).
This is according to Amilia, an Indonesian convert to Shia Islam who was attending the “Spring of Martyrdom” international festival in the holy city of Karbala.
Amilia said that after embracing Islam, at first she had many questions about the religion whose answer she did not find in Sunni books and sources.
“I did not give up in my quest and tried to find the answer to my questions in Shia sources. That was when I realized that Shi’ism had provided answers to these questions long ago. From then on I started saying my prayers in full faith.”
Amilia added that after studying the life and Seerah of Hazrat Zeynab (SA), she took the great lady as a role model and changed her name to Zeynab.
Currently, she is working to promote the true Muhammadan Islam in Indonesia and has been successful in her efforts.
Asked about her motivation for participating in the festival, the new convert said her main motivation was visiting the holy Shrine of Imam Hussein (AS) in Karbala.
The 9th “Spring of Martyrdom” international festival was held in Karbala last week with the participation of delegations from different countries.
The Astans (custodianships) of the holy shrines of Imam Hussein (AS) and Hazrat Abbas (AS) organized the event.
