Eleven Filipinos converted to Islam here after Taraweeh prayers on Wednesday, a local mosque has announced.
The expatriates recited the Shahada at Jamiya Al-Salheen Mosque in Quwaiza under the guidance of Sheikh Hamdan bin Nasser Al-Juhani, in front of hundreds of witnesses.
Manny Estanislao changed his name to Younes and said that he accepted Islam because he found it the right way to reach the Lord. This had taken place after he watched Muslim Filipinos practice their faith, and read the holy Qur’an and other Islamic books in his own language.
Stanalow said he came to understand Islam. “I don’t want to burn in Hell in the Hereafter. My heart was always searching for the truth and never at peace until I found Islam. I love the true nature of Islam and its message of peace and giving to others. I am glad that I accepted the true religion on one of the best nights in the blessed month of Ramadan,” he said. 
Esa Deleon, a Muslim from the Philippines who converted many years ago, and was present at the mosque, said that many more people would convert if they have a true understanding of the religion.
Deleon said the bad behavior of some Muslims drives people away from Islam. In addition, non-Muslims misrepresent Islam, which also results in people failing to get a proper picture of the faith.
Another witness at the mosque, Hafizur Rahman, said that Muslims should present their religion in a simple manner and not resort to harsh behavior. He said history has shown that people accepted Islam all over the world by simply meeting Muslims and observing their way of life.
Muslims should also try to return to correct Islamic teachings and improve their behavior as instructed by Prophet Mohammed (peace be upon him). In this way, Muslims can fight the negativity currently being spread by their enemies, he said.
He said Muslims are also obliged to carry the message to others like the Prophet (pbuh) even if it is only one verse. There are enormous rewards for those who bring others into the light, he said.
Meanwhile in Dammam, a total of 115 people converted to Islam at iftar and guidance camps in the southern part of the town during the first two weeks of Ramadan.
The events are organized by the Cooperative Office for Call and Guidance, Ghiras.
“On average, eight people convert per day,” said Walid Al-Thani, the office’s director.
Ghiras has disseminated around 26,000 publications, in addition to organizing 496 seminars and lectures.
“More than 500 people were able to perform Umrah through our office over the past two weeks,” he said. “We have six camps that have distributed over 96,000 meals to more than 6,000 people for iftar throughout Ramadan.”
