Assalaamu Alaykum my name is Viliami also known as Hamza.
Im 31 yrs old, married and I have 2 boys name Idris Sione and Francis Isa.
I work in construction full time and I have been muslim for 4 years Alhamdilillah.
I was born to a loving Christian family and was part of the Methodist Christian church.
Life before Islam included partying all weekend and showing up to Church hungover lol.
I was involved in criminality for many years also.
I had a loving family but I walked a different path, full of bad choices.
I grew up in Sydney around many Lebanese brothers who were Muslim and we'd always take stabs at eachother about whos religion was right (friendly banter of course) but little did i know that the banter with my Muslim brothers was foreshadowing future events.
My thoughts on conversion started during my life in Christianity.
I was always seeking a connection to God that I couldnt find at Church and I had questions family and priests couldnt answer.
My mind was always wondering till one night I prostrated like Jesus AS did, like I read in the bible, but instead of calling out to him, in tears I called out to God.
I said if this is the right or wrong Religion for me please show me a sign.
Months passed by and the algorithum on my youtube started to suggest Islamic videos, which I found weird, because I have never searched anything Islamic.
Eventually I kept watching and researching and decided to visit a Masjid.
I spoke to a Sheikh at the MGM mosque in Tarneit name Sh Harris Sidique for hours. I walked in that day and walked out Muslim Alhamdulillah.
Alhamdulillah my family took it well and wished me nothing but happiness despite not agreeing.
Islam changed my mind set on everything, made me more happy and grateful and more patient with people and more importantly helped me let go of my vices.
As a Tongan revert I get hate from other Poly Christians, but if thats my only challenge then I dont care. Allah SWT will handle my affairs, Ameen.
