Why did you convert to Islam?

SHEEN GURRIB
About this episode

If you’ve recently reverted to Islam, or you’re seriously thinking about taking that step, this episode is for you. In this conversation, we sit down with two incredible women, Sina port and Emma Flicc, who share their real, unfiltered journeys into Islam. From the moment they said their shahada to navigating family reactions, learning how to pray, finding community, and rebuilding their identity, they walk us through what reverting actually looks like beyond the announcement. If you are new to Islam and feel overwhelmed, confused about where to start, unsure how to structure your learning, or silently struggling with loneliness, this episode gives you clarity and direction. This is not a surface-level conversation. It is an honest, in-depth look at what it truly means to revert. This episode will ground you, guide you, and remind you that you are not alone.
