American Muslim took a rather unconventional path to Islam. Born into a christian family, he spent over five decades pondering the source of the voice of reason somewhere deep in his soul, the one he frequently ignored. Allah chose to guide him to Islam in early 2012 at the age of 52, through exposure to pious Muslims throughout his adult life. Suddenly he realized Allah was the source of the voice deep inside, that He had been trying to guide him all along. American Muslim finally began to listen. He is, by trade, a software engineer. But his true avocation that he is a slave of Allah. He is the father of twins, whom he is trying to lead to the Truth of Islam in a secular American society. So far, so good. His life has improved immeasurably since he reverted, Alhamdulillah, and he prays that each day Allah will find a way to lead him another step closer to Jannah and one step removed from Shaytan.
