✨ “You Would Find the Beauty of Islam in Ahlulbayt (a.s.)” ✨
🌙 The Journey of Fatima — A Revert to Islam from Australia
According to Rahyafte, the missionaries and converts’ website, this is an exclusive interview with Lestari (Fatima), a revert to Islam from Australia.
📍 Published: February 7, 2019
⏳ Reading Time: 7 minutes
🌱 Her Background
Lestari, 25, is from Australia and has an Indonesian and Brazilian background. She works as a disability support worker, caring for and supporting people with disabilities.
She was raised Catholic and attended Catholic lessons at school, but never really practiced the religion. Her mother was born Muslim in Indonesia, although she herself had not practiced much.
🕌 Discovering Islam
At first, she had no interest in investigating Islam. But after meeting some Shia Muslims, something changed.
Their character, their behaviour, and their love for Imam Ali (a.s.) encouraged her to learn more.
📖 She began studying the history of Islam and reading about the differences between the Shia and Sunni schools of thought.
☝️ Taking the Shahadah
She converted to Islam shortly before Ramadan 2014.
She says she never hesitated:
🧕 Facing Challenges
Her family initially had some difficulties accepting her decision, especially after she began wearing hijab.
But with time, conversation and patience helped. She explained why she wore hijab and answered her father’s questions.
She also experienced the loss of some friendships after converting.
Yet she continued her journey with faith and patience. 🤍
🕊️ Learning to Pray
Prayer was difficult at first because she had no one to teach her.
Even though praying five times a day was challenging while working, she gradually learned and continued.
📖 Her Relationship with the Qur’an
She describes the Qur’an as a struggle at times, but says it has helped her become more conscious of Allah and focus on the Akhirah — the Hereafter.
🌸 Why the Name Fatima?
When she was new to Islam, a friend asked whether she would choose the name Fatima or Aisha.
She chose Fatima without knowing much about the personalities behind the names.
Later, after learning about Lady Fatima al-Zahra (s.a.), she became grateful for her choice:
🧕🏻 Her View on Hijab
She acknowledges that wearing hijab can sometimes be difficult because of negative portrayals of Islam in the media, but says that overall her experience has been positive.
She also believes that modesty should be observed by both men and women.
💚 The Beauty of Islam
When asked what she would say about the beauty, peace and calmness she found in Islam, her answer was simple and deeply meaningful:
For her, the teachings and examples of the Ahlulbayt (a.s.) became an important part of discovering the beauty of Islam.
🌟 The Role of the Imams (a.s.)
Among the Ahlulbayt (a.s.), she feels especially close to:
“I was never intrigued with Islam. But when I met some Shias, it got me curious. Some of their behaviour and how they mentioned and praised Imam Ali (a.s.) got me looking into Shi’ism.”

She was raised Catholic and attended Catholic lessons at school, but never really practiced the religion. Her mother was born Muslim in Indonesia, although she herself had not practiced much.
🕌 Discovering Islam
“I was never intrigued with Islam, and I didn’t like how it was strict and some of the mentality associated with it.”
At first, she had no interest in investigating Islam. But after meeting some Shia Muslims, something changed.
“Some of the Akhlaq (behaviour) of the people and how they mentioned and praised Imam Ali (a.s.) got me looking into Shi’ism.”
Their character, their behaviour, and their love for Imam Ali (a.s.) encouraged her to learn more.
📖 She began studying the history of Islam and reading about the differences between the Shia and Sunni schools of thought.
☝️ Taking the Shahadah
She converted to Islam shortly before Ramadan 2014.
“I looked and asked how to convert, then between me and Allah, I took my Shahada.”
She says she never hesitated:
“I knew that this was meant for me.”
🧕 Facing Challenges
Her family initially had some difficulties accepting her decision, especially after she began wearing hijab.
“My dad didn’t like that I suddenly changed into this religion and started to wear the hijab.”
But with time, conversation and patience helped. She explained why she wore hijab and answered her father’s questions.
She also experienced the loss of some friendships after converting.
“I started to lose friends after converting.”
Yet she continued her journey with faith and patience. 🤍
🕊️ Learning to Pray
Prayer was difficult at first because she had no one to teach her.
“With the help of Allah, eventually I taught myself how to pray, memorize surahs etc.”
Even though praying five times a day was challenging while working, she gradually learned and continued.
📖 Her Relationship with the Qur’an
She describes the Qur’an as a struggle at times, but says it has helped her become more conscious of Allah and focus on the Akhirah — the Hereafter.
“It has helped me to also become God aware and to work for my Akhirah.”
🌸 Why the Name Fatima?
When she was new to Islam, a friend asked whether she would choose the name Fatima or Aisha.
She chose Fatima without knowing much about the personalities behind the names.
Later, after learning about Lady Fatima al-Zahra (s.a.), she became grateful for her choice:
“When I started reading on the personality of Lady Fatima (s.a.), I was so glad that I chose that name.” 🌹
🧕🏻 Her View on Hijab
“Hijab is the most beautiful thing a male or female can observe.”
She acknowledges that wearing hijab can sometimes be difficult because of negative portrayals of Islam in the media, but says that overall her experience has been positive.
She also believes that modesty should be observed by both men and women.
💚 The Beauty of Islam
When asked what she would say about the beauty, peace and calmness she found in Islam, her answer was simple and deeply meaningful:
“I would say you would find these beauties in Ahlulbayt (a.s.).” 🌹
For her, the teachings and examples of the Ahlulbayt (a.s.) became an important part of discovering the beauty of Islam.
🌟 The Role of the Imams (a.s.)
“The Imams (a.s.) have a leading role in every aspect of my life. They teach you a lesson in everything.”
Among the Ahlulbayt (a.s.), she feels especially close to:
❤️ Imam Ali (a.s.)
🩸 Imam Hussain (a.s.)
🌙 Imam Mahdi (ajtfs)
🌙 A Message About Imam Mahdi (ajtfs)
When asked what should be done for the reappearance of Imam Zaman (ajtfs), she answered:
🌹 One Journey. One Discovery. One Beautiful Connection.
From a young woman who initially had little interest in Islam…
➡️ to discovering Islam through the character of Shia Muslims,
➡️ to being inspired by the love for Imam Ali (a.s.),
➡️ to choosing the name Fatima,
➡️ and ultimately finding the beauty of Islam in the Ahlulbayt (a.s.).
May Allah bless Sister Fatima and keep her strong and firm on this path. 🤲🏻

🔴 “The Three Banners” — The Three Flags Before the Appearance

🟢 Al-Yamani: The “Arab Front” from the Shiite axis.
🟡 Al-Khorasani: The “Iranian Front” from the Shiite axis.
🔴 Al-Sufyani: The “enemy” of the Shiite axis in the geography of the Appearance.

🔴 If you focus solely on Yemen and assign no role whatsoever to Iraq and the Popular Mobilization Forces (Hashd al-Sha'bi) resistance axis in the geography of the Appearance, this view leads to problematic implications.
The Yamani front refers to the “Arab Shiite axis” of Iran’s allies.
🔻 So reflect carefully.

🔻Before the mass funeral procession for the martyred leader was held in Iraq, some friends did not attach much significance to the role of the Iraqi Resistance.
This year’s Arbaeen was different from previous years.

🔴 You’ve got a point!
▪️Until now, we had assumed that Al-Yamani necessarily meant—and exclusively referred to—the uprising from Yemen.
▪️So where does the role of the “Resistance Axis in Iraq” fit in?
🔻But with the third perspective, everything falls into place:
Al-Yamani = the Arab front within the Shiite axis.

🔴 Well, we hadn’t thought of that!
▪️The Iraqis say: “All the roles have been divided between Iran and Yemen.”
▪️So where does the “Resistance Axis” in Iraq fit into the equation and the process leading up to the Appearance?
▪️Wouldn’t they become weakened and discouraged?
▪️They even say: “Wars come crashing down upon us, and the Sufyani enters Iraq—yet we are supposed to have no role at all? Just Iran and Yemen?”
🔻The Yamani front refers to the “Arab Shiite axis” of Iran’s allies.

🔴 The “Three Banners” Competing Over the Geography of Iraq at the Time of the Appearance
✍️ Mostafa Amiri
🔻After consolidating control over the Levant, Al-Sufyani sets his sights on attacking Iraq, which serves as the gateway into Iran:
▪️The Banner of Al-Yamani and the Banner of Al-Sufyani are “like two racehorses” competing to reach their destination—namely Kufa and southern Iraq:
▪️Likewise, the Khorasani army, an ally of Al-Yamani and dispatched from Iran, is competing with Al-Sufyani’s army to reach Kufa:
🔻Therefore, the geography of Iraq is the link in the chain of the “all-out war,” connecting it to Iran and ultimately to the matter of the #Appearance:

🔴 The American New World Order Plan and the “Gulliver” of the Region
✍️ Mostafa Amiri
🔻Under this plan, Israel will maintain superiority over the countries surrounding it in terms of military capabilities, technology, intelligence, and air power. The countries of the region would therefore necessarily have to be fragmented and weakened.
This blueprint would lead to an American-led “new order” under Israeli hegemony, in which Israel is intended to become the “Gulliver of the region.”
▪️ “Israel, the Gulliver of the Region” is a political and geopolitical metaphor.
🔻This plan is also consistent with and overlaps with the “consolidation of control” over the Levant, an attack on Iraq, and a military campaign into Saudi Arabia.

🔴 Bernard Lewis’s “New Middle East” Plan and the U.S. Blueprint
✍️ Mostafa Amiri
The main project the United States is currently pursuing is this very Bernard Lewis plan. It must be examined with utmost precision.
▪️Bernard Lewis, a Zionist Orientalist and an architect of the fragmentation of Middle Eastern countries, explicitly spoke of dividing Islamic countries.
1️⃣ Geopolitical Implementation of the “Nile to Euphrates” Plan
In the modern era, international Zionism has sought to implement the concept of the “Promised Land” through political and military plans in order to reduce sensitivities surrounding it.
▪️The map designed by Bernard Lewis — this U.S. security adviser — is one of the clear documents cited in this context.
▪️His so-called “New Middle East” plan envisions dividing Islamic countries into small ethnic and religious entities so that no independent power can emerge around Israel.
▪️To compensate for its geographical and strategic-depth weaknesses, Israel has two options: either conquer and administer the entire Middle East—which would be costly and unattainable in the long term—or implement the Lewis plan and, through technological and military superiority, remain dominant over other countries as the “Gulliver of the region.”
2️⃣ From Divine Promise to Geopolitical Reality
When we place the religious foundations of the Torah alongside the geopolitical programs currently being implemented, we find that the “Greater Israel” plan is not merely a political project; rather, it is a continuation of a theological ideology that considers itself the heir to the “Abrahamic Covenant.”
🔻This is why countries within the Nile-to-Euphrates area—from Iraq and Syria to Egypt and Sudan—are continually at the center of conflict, confrontation, and instability. For, in the logic of Zionism, domination over these territories serves two purposes with one stroke: the realization of Messianic rule and the ultimate domination of the world.
