I went through almost the same situation except I actually did 20 years in Alabama prison system. It really makes a man appreciate those books. Allah uses prison to make good men. Also I too was the only white Muslim most of the time. I actually met two more through out the years but one I know was only seeking. Alhamdulillah my brother!

SubHannaLah I was bound over as an adult when I was 15 in 1997 in Michigan and served 11 years in adult prison, do not pass go do not collect 200 dollars, no juvenile just straight to a level 4 yard. I studied Islam there and the Muslims there were some of the very best people that I had met, unfortunately they mostly all were doing terms of 20 plus years. I took my Shahaddah last week. Thank you for opening up about this. It took me another 12 plus years to overcome my institutionalization that I wasn't fully aware was even there. There is no Muslims where I live in Ohio and I learned to read and write Arabic memorized some surah and read a bunch of books when I was in there. I'm 42 now and I was absolutely FLOORED that everything I thought I forgotten our Merciful Lord made me remember it all. I couldn't tell you what I had for lunch yesterday akhi but wallahi ta ala He gave me my little knowledge back and inshallah every day and night I will learn more about the Deen. Jazakullah Khair

what did you get booked in prison for?

As salaamu alaikum brother. My situation was very similar, and it was that test from Allah azza wa jall that brought me to Islam. I didn't take my shahadah until after my release when my good friend and father started giving me dawah. Alhamdulillah! Brother some may judge our path but Allah SWT calls whom he wills. So happy you shared this!

We're honestly all in prison in this Dunya, but Inshallah we'll all get out and enjoy an everlasting life in the Akhira.

Suhaib reported: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: Wondrous is the affair of the believer for there is good for him in every matter and this is not the case with anyone except the believer. If he is happy, then he thanks Allah and thus there is good for him, and if he is harmed, then he shows patience and thus there is good for him. Source: Sahih Muslim 2999, Grade: Sahih.

I find it strange that someone would tell you to leave that out and say it’s not significant when it’s literally the foundation of your start to being a Muslim. Your revert story has always been one of my favorites since I reverted and it’s amazing how there’s a whole deeper part to it that we never got to hear. SubhanAllah I loved this.

I completely understand why he or anyone would leave that out in the beginning, there are a lot of very judgmental people, even Muslim. Our past should in no way determine who we are today in terms of good or bad but some people don’t yet understand the power of Allah on the human soul. Transformation is the product of our faith in Him. So ten years ago I could have been the worst of people yet today I could be among the best. You I perceive are not a judgmental person and for that I say alhamdulillah

As salaamu alaykum. Im a sister, but have been a Muslim for almost thirty years, alhumduillah. I have my low days and it's usually only revert speakers that I can resonate with on another level. In sha Allah this video will help me reach out to my brother for dawah. In sha Allah. jazak Allah khair Allah khair Allah khair. I was Christian to and left around 18 years old and Allah led me to Islam a couple of years later, Alhumduillah. Alhumduillah my love for Jesus has only grown.

Dear brother I’m glad you didn’t leave it out. You teacher was thinking about muslims but your story is extremely relevant and important to non-muslims and dawah is for non-muslims. May almighty Allah continue to bless, protect and guide you inshAllah.

Subhan Allah, your journey to find the true path is extraordinary.

Keep sharing that knowledge because it is power. Allah is using you to empower the Ummah. I always feel smarter as far as my deen goes after your videos/reminders. May Allah bless you, reward you, increase you, and keep you. I know you love us for the sake of Allah. Keep it up bro. Oh and MGL - To The Moon!! InShaAllah

Assalom alaykum va rohmatullohi VA barakatuh.YUSHA EVANS Welcome to Uzbekistan

I still remember your early video around 10 years ago . Alhamdulilah. I still had opportunity to listen to your story brother yusha..

I absolutely loved this brother Yusha. May Allah reward you for this!

Salam alaikum. Alhumdulilah. Barakalafi ahki. I just got out three months ago after being down for 11 years. And people never understand when I say it's the best thing that's ever happened to me. Alhumdulilah Allah blessed me to end my incarceration while I was better off in my Deen than when I went in. I always say patience is so key in life as sometime you don't realize something you think Is bad for you when it is actually a blessing. There are indeed brothers out there that can benefit off your videos ahki. May Allah bless you and reward you. And hopefully you can keep making videos. Inshallah.

😮 keep them coming

Can't wait for this one

The moral of ur story is that:- There's Rahmah Behind The Bars. ALLAH loves you bro..

Loved this one! Excited for the next part :)

So excited can't wait Insha'Allah

“Even though my body was imprisoned, my soul and mind was free” MashAllah those are some wise words. May Allah bless you

Thanks for sharing this part of your life with us brother.

Excited In'sha'Allah

Thank you for this sharing Brother

Oh brother Yushua.... Wow. Prophet Muhammad was given prophethood at the age of 40yrs of age. I used to think ... Many shellshocks later comes the light. Jazak Allah Khair for sharing. Allah had you in company when u were walking towards that cell. 😊

Masha'a Allah..... letsss goooo... the waiting is done!

I m looking forward to hear what comes next. Glad you opening special stuff of you for good of us.

cant wait InShaAllah

I am anxiously waiting for the part 2 of the prison story.

This was so interesting and beneficial 🤲🏼 💎

Jazk'Allah kir my brother I can't wait for Part 2. May Allah SWT bless u.

Thank u for doing this! جزاك الله خيرآ

What an inspiring story from such a resilient and strong brother, content like this reinforces my emaan!

Thanks!

It's inspiring Thanks a lot for sharing brother ☺️☺️☺️

You do a great service to us by sharing your experience with imprisonment.

I like you high quality content , I really enjoyed the episode , more stories please , Jazakallah

Thanks Sir , Good work ...

Salams bro Yusha...I'm glad you are still doing what you do, with your Motivational podcasts...and now with reflections. Keep it up, keep it grounded to those who are just getting by with the deen...your words are inspirational, mashaAllah. awesome.

My Allah bless you, love the new setup

Mashaallah bro nice set n great audio quality thanks for sharing this wisdom it helps lot

Mashallah br Yusha! May Allah bless you for all that you do!

Thank you for Sharing .May Allah rewards you my Brother.

Love the vulnerability with you talking about your life, tbh it makes you more relatable and gives ppl hope that they can turn their lives around. Being from Newark, NJ ... i can honestly say that the hoods of America, specifically on the east coast have strong, large Muslim populations, and the brother/sisterhood is way tighter than when you go elsewhere. I love this real talk type of videos and the vibe MashaAllah! May Allah bless you with greatness always, and for your loved ones as well, Ameen.

Thank you brother for your story

Alhamdulilah May Almighty Allah keep guiding us!

Masha’Allaah the الحمدلله sign is 🔥🔥🔥

Mâcha Allah brother thanks for sharing your story . May Allah bless us and protect us.

Alhamdulillah, and thank you for the disclaimer 😊

Amazing and relatable podcast 🤍🤍🤍 May Allah swt bless you

Very impressive Thank you

You're the man, brother! This second story of yours I listen to. Both amaze me. Tabarokallah...

Subhan Allah, thanks for sharing your story.

MashaAllah..Alhamdulillah.. Allahuakbar. You are examplary muslim who reverted n by iman n harworking muslim..till become a good m knowledgeable muslim astadz. Slm frm us in Mlaysia

I love this so much it’s amazing that you feel like at this moment you actually feel value of breaking free of the past that just didn’t hurt you but also shaped you, I feel like some people don’t want to get that. It’s life experience not just research on a data sheet. And it’s so true in beginning how you said Muslim judge you at first so just state facts. Omg! I can totally relate. SubhaanAllah!!!! May Allah reward you.

Sallam my brother, thank you for sharing your story, may Allah continue to bless you and increase you in good, Ameen!

Alhumdulilah! Thank you for sharing your amazing story! Such an inspiration to all on this great spiritual path. 🌺🌺🙏🏽

Beautiful podcast had to listen to this with a clear mind,powerful message may Allah (SWT) bless you immensely for giving us an insight on your life and leaving us with some amazing life lessons,looking forward to the next parts and the journey❤️🙏🏽

Really it was useful

Keep up the positive good work you doing Brother Yusha Evans you have helped and Inshallah continue to help countless of Muslims and non Muslims. Life is a test full of ups and downs it's not easy but we got to have our faith in Allah during the good and the bad and know that in the end the reward is beyond comprehension. Much respect to you brother.

MA may Allah SWT always protect you brother - you are so humble and honest Alhumdulilah 🙏

I can't say I know about anything close to what you went through but I have to say I have the biggest respect to you for going through it and having the courage to share it with the public. Really glad that you didn't listen to whoever told you to hide this. May Allah ease your mind

We've all got a past. Sometimes it is very lovely and sometimes it is heartbreaking. Your story inspires those whose past is horrible to empathise.

SubhanAllah. Powerful story! May Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala reward you for sharing and allow the story to be of maximum benefit to the viewers.

There's always an advantage even in calamity.May Allah protect you brother Evans,

Subhanallah. This made me cry. Yes he did give u ur life back

Oh sweet I am in a joyride.... roller coaster ride listening to your story( chunk of your life )

I followed all about you since i found that famous video "How the Bible led me to Islam", but this part is amazing this part is most interesting. Thank you for sharing that with us. 18:50 when I listened to this part I literally said Subhanallah out loud even though I was alone in the room. a beautiful and powerful life story @

This is very powerful. Greetings to Yusha and all brothers from here in Cairo, Egypt, right before Adha.

Ohu,,, amazing stuff. I have also gone through such a tough situation. Life changing episode. Jazakallah Shykh

Assalam alaikum bro Yusha. I'm very happy you're back in the youtube and I can see you're much more shiny in your look now I think it's because the Noor of Allah is hoovering over you now. The content of your talk too is more meat and very contextual and has helped me understood what the living in prison is like in the US. That's it and I'm from Jakarta, Indonesia and will keep watching your video and hope you are always well and May Allah SWT protect you in your endeavor to seek for the ridho of Allah. Ameen ya robbal alamin.

Thank you for your vulnerability to help others ... Respect.

SubhanAllah. Thank you brother for sharing such challenging yet truly inspiring story❤️ May Allah (swt) keep you safe and healthy as the Ummah needs leaders like yourself. Moreover, elder leaders such as Sheikh Ahmed Deedat is already gone to the hereafter.

So truly amazing subhanAllah. Thank you so much for opening up and share this beautiful story with us. The way Allah swt makes things work…
