"I Felt Like That's When I Truly Found Islam" w. Amal Kassir

Al Ansary Podcast: Mahmoud Elansary and Amal Kassir, 2 Muslim Americans, discuss Amals personal experience growing as a Muslim, Syrian, white American. Her experience being raised a Muslim in this country, how her mother converted, how she found God(Allah), she felt she had no purpose even after success, she questioned Gods will and existence, her struggle with faith and Islam. The moment she turned to God(Allah), and why she started wearing the hijab.

    1:25 When people address being white as a big deal I laugh so hard and you should too You see good looks are important because most handsome people #can be somewhat nice and peaceful than others but being white...it's just funny because it's make think of an inceste relationship so...😅😅😅 May Allah bless you 🤲

    Leave America and the Arabs if you are having identity crisis. Come to Chitral in Northern Pakistan, nobody cares about your identity there. Come to the real mountains and the real mountain people. 5:58 The mountains of Himalayas, Karakoram and Hindukush are waiting for you !
