“I converted to Islam just over three years ago. Before that I was a Christian missionary in Sarawak at that time among the Dayaks and I married into the Dayaks, to a Christian missionary. I found myself alone at Christmas time. I needed to read something and the only book in my library I had not read was the book Quran. And so I was determined to read it to find out what was wrong with it. That was my goal. And by the time I finished three days later, I was a Muslim. Alhamdulillah. I couldn’t find anything wrong with it. Cant imagine why! That cost me everything I had. That cost me my family, it cost me the home I built, I had to make a complete hijrah (migration). Alhamdulillah. So I gained everything while losing everything. I gained more.” ~ Dr Omar Zaid Prior to his reversion to Islam in 2004, Dr. Zaid was raised Catholic along the river front industrial towns south of Philadelphia. A professional musician for over 20 years from the age of 13, he also served in the US Army in Europe during the Vietnam war. youtube/watch?v=jNvZ29nkATg
