An inquisitive and sparky young child, Amina spent her childhood in a migrant dense, small region of France.

Despite large exposure to the various cultures of the Muslim community, Islam remained a widely misunderstood and disdained concept amongst the non-muslims she knew.

As much as she possibly could, Amina tried to get to grips with her own religion.

While comfortable with the concept of creationism, gaping holes to some of the biggest questions of our existence and spiritual guidance proved too much for her logic to reconcile.

During her adolescence she eagerly seized the opportunity to travel to a nearby city in order to continue with her studies.

She embraced Islam there and describes her path of becoming Muslim as she navigated her way through intellectual, cultural, spiritual and emotional struggles while consciously striving to perfect her identity as a Muslim.

20 years later and now living in the United Kingdom, what does she cite as her life's biggest lessons?

About Amina:

• Converted in 1995 (25 years ago)
• 45 years old
• From France
• Currently living in London
• She is a wellness and nutrition coach
• Hobbies and interests include parenting, studying dean, Arabic, and healthy nutrition
• She is passionate about almost everything, she loves life

Episode Host: Crystal Joseph (England)

Crystal always grew up knowing God.

At a young age (as early as 10 years old) her feelings towards the church changed.

She started to follow her gut instinct that it was all wrong.

Finally she felt that Christianity was a block between her and her creator.

After leaving the church she went through a stage of conforming to society.

This included not knowing an answer to the questions of faith and not seeking one either.

Going through this she felt drained.

Crystal tried Buddhism and meditation while still believing in God.

She stated that in England people tend to mix and match and try to make their own answers to questions about God as you go along.

She needed something.

The turning point for her was at the age of 21, she visited Egypt.

She heard the Quran for the first time and felt like this was real life.

A visit to Mt Sinai was one of her first spiritual experiences of Islam.

At the same time she was learning about the scientific proofs in the Quran.

Crystal was getting black and white answers to all her questions.
