Does anyone know anyone that has converted to Islam?


Hello Assalaam Alaikum

I am a british Asian Muslim and i am currently studying a MA in social work. I am thinking about my dissertation for next year. I want to look at exploring the experiences of converts to islam, why tehy convert, difficulties faced, negative reactions maybe even experiences of harassment etc etc

I would find this fascinating to do. However I am fidning it very difficult finding people to interview or give questionnaires to.

I was wandeirng if there are any brothers or sisters who have converted to islam themselves, or knows someone that has. If so i would b very greatful if they would be willing to answer some questions for me. The data would be annonomised so there would be no way of individuals being identified.

Also I am based in the UK so if there is anyone in the Uk who wouldnt mind taking part in a telephone interview I would be really really greatful.

best wishes

Wa salaams

I have two cousins, their husbands are converts (a hindu and a christian convert). Could ask them, they may participate and they reside in UK. If they agree will pass on their contacts to you.
