Meet Zane, a 21-year-old with an extraordinary story of transformation.

Growing up in Brisbane, Queensland, Zane was surrounded by crime and drugs.

Outside of work, you'll find him riding the waves as a passionate surfer or cheering on his favorite rugby league team.

In the midst of this noble pursuit, Zane found an unexpected source of inspiration.

It was his next-door neighbor, a devout Muslim, who played an instrumental role in his life-changing decision.

With their guidance, support, and patience, Zane began to explore the beauty and wisdom of Islam.

Fast forward six months after converting, and Zane's life has undergone a magnificent transformation.

He embraced Islam wholeheartedly, finding solace in its teachings and embracing a new way of life.

The positive impact on his well-being and outlook has been truly remarkable.

He radiates newfound happiness and fulfillment, driven by his strong faith and the support of his Muslim community.

Zane's experience has opened his eyes to the extraordinary power of personal change.

But that's not all! Zane has even begun sharing his knowledge with other troubled Muslim brothers, offering them brief lectures and inspiring them to walk the path of righteousness.

His passion for helping others has only grown stronger since his conversion.

So, dear listeners, whether you find yourself surrounded by negativity or struggling to discover your purpose, let Zane's incredible journey be your guiding light.

Remember, it's never too late to embark on a new path, to embrace a new faith, or to transform your life for the better.

Episode Host: Cedric Du Peloux (Australia)

He describes the story like this:

What happened is that my father separated with my mother when he became Muslim.

My mother is not Muslim and I grew up with her.

I went on holiday when I was 8 years old and spent some time with my father and that's when faith in Islam entered my heart.

Then I went back to my mum until I was 14 years old.

In my heart I felt I was Muslim even if I didn't know much about Islam.

Then I went on to live with my father for a few years and decided to learn and practice Islam.

I consider myself more like a revert as I chose to be Muslim at a certain point.

I grew up pretty much as a non Muslim and also because Islam was not part of my culture back then.

I'm definitely closer to a Westerner than to someone that grew up in Islam.

But at the same time I'm not your typical revert.

I've learned so much throughout this journey that I make sure to share my knowledge within the youth of my community when I get a chance.

He also says:

I'm passionate about giving dawah at any chance I can and also helping the less fortunates whether it is through donation or physical assistance but my main area of expertise are marriage and relationship and also helping Westerner new reverts to make sense of their Islam as it can sometime be challenging for people that were born Muslim and non Westerner to understand where a revert is coming from.
