MashaAllah! Netherlands Boxing Star Converts To Islam – Happily Says ‘Shahada’ In Mosque

Ruby Jesiah Mesu Islam

It is a harsh reality that Muslims are not liked in most places across the world. Specifically in the West, many people consider Muslims as extremists and fundamentalists.

 

There is often a preconceived notion that non-Muslims are forced across the globe for converting to Islam. This has distorted how people from other religions view Islam. Despite this perception, many non-Muslims still respect Islam and some have even willingly converted to Islam.

Netherlands boxer Ruby Jesiah Mesu has announced her conversion to Islam. The Dutch boxer announced the news on her official Instagram account.

Mesu was originally a Christian. However, she is inspired by the teachings of Islam. The boxer said that after practicing Islam for years, she was very proud to be finally officially converted to Islam.

She further added that the “the shahada” was taken by herself. The ceremony of Mesu conversion to Islam took place inside a mosque in Netherlands.

Apart from Gabrielle, a former catholic woman named Laura converted to Islam in October 2017.

 

What makes Laura’s conversion to Islam even more beautiful is how she took her time to study the religion, practiced the norms and then took the decision.
