"If I were to go back in time and knew about all these difficulties, I would undoubtedly make the same decision again, and I would certainly choose to spread the message of Islam."

Rahyafte (The Guided Ones)
Part 1 🔹Muslims in My Country Still Think Like Christians According to Rahyafte (the comprehensive platform for new Muslims and preachers), Mostafa Oscar, a student from Latin America, has traveled to distant countries with his family, enduring many hardships…
Part 2
In the past decade, I have introduced dozens of people in my country to Islam, the religion of love and respect for humanity. They embraced Islam with passion and love, as it is a religion of reason and respect for all people, especially women.
Muslims in my country still think like Christians, for example, believing they need a designated place to pray and worship. There is a need for more effort to introduce them to the true principles of Islam.
Our center once had a radio station and published magazines, and our Islamic activities were conducted professionally, bringing about many blessings. However, these centers are now inactive.
I had a good job in my country, but out of love for Islam, I left everything behind to pursue knowledge so I could serve my country and the Muslims better. Whenever I returned to my country, I had good resources available to me, thanks to my academic abilities. I even had credibility in my country and was invited for interviews on television.
The first challenge foreign students face is that people's perception of them and Islam is different from the true image. We are responsible for correcting this misconception because the first image people have of Muslims is often shaped by the brutal actions of terrorist groups like ISIS.
The religious attire we wear in seminaries and universities is similar to that of clerics, but in public, we wear clothing that conforms to social norms.
In my country, as in many other Latin American and non-Latin American countries, people's views of Muslims and Shias are negative due to the image of certain so-called Muslim terrorists. Many people cannot distinguish between true Shias and others, and only a few have developed the ability to make this distinction.
Once, while walking down the street with my wife, who was wearing Islamic attire, someone yelled at her from a bus, calling her crazy. This reflects the attitude toward hijab in my country. However, the hijab of some women in my country is far better than that of Iranian women!
Publishing Islamic books in my country can only be done privately, as there is no government support. When I was in my country, I personally financed the printing of books.
🔴"If I were to go back to 12 years ago, even knowing about all these hardships, I would undoubtedly make the same decision again. I would certainly choose to preach Islam because, contrary to what is promoted in the West, Islam is not a religion of killing or oppression, especially against women. It is a religion of reason, chivalry, and respect for all people and other religions. This respect for other religions is what attracts people to Islam in the West. People in the West are tired of oppression, and if they knew the true qualities of Islam, they would be drawn to it."

Robert Salman Raico ✨ 🇮🇹 A new Muslim from Italy: ✅ What drew me to Islam was its profound spiritual teachings... 🔗 Read More 🌐 @rahyafte_en #NewMuslim #Islam #SpiritualJourney #Faith
✨ A Journey to Faith: The Story of Robert Salman Raico ✨
🕊️ From Catholicism to Islam, guided by divine wisdom!
📖 "For a long time, I was searching for the truth. Christianity left many unanswered questions in my mind. I studied Buddhism, Hinduism, and other Eastern philosophies, but my heart still longed for something deeper. Eventually, my research led me to Islam. The more I read, the more I was convinced that Shia Islam was the complete path."
🔹 Why Shi'a Islam?
✅ Unlike other sects, I found unity in both the inner and outer aspects of Shi’a teachings.
✅ The belief in Imam Mahdi (aj) deeply resonated with me. Other religions await a savior, but in Shi'a Islam, the Imam is already present—just like the sun behind the clouds, guiding us with his light.
🔹 The Role of Divine Guidance
"Before embracing Islam, I had a dream where I felt someone was guiding me toward Iran and Islam. That dream encouraged me to explore further. By God’s will, I accepted Islam and the path of Ahlul Bayt (as)."
🔹 The Influence of Henry Corbin
"I didn’t know any scholars at first, but a friend introduced me to the works of Professor Henry Corbin. His deep knowledge of Islamic mysticism and Shi’a teachings helped me discover the truth about Ahlul Bayt (as)."
🔹 Facing Family Reactions
"My father, a devout Catholic, was initially upset. He had hoped for one of his sons to become a priest. However, over time, his views softened. Near the end of his life, he even expressed a desire to become Muslim, but unfortunately, he passed away before saying the Shahada."
🔹 Islamophobia & Da’wah in Italy
🔸 Islamophobia exists, but Italy is more tolerant than France.
🔸 Wahhabi groups, backed by Saudi funds, are active, but their Arabic-language preaching limits their influence.
🔸 The best way to represent Islam is through ethics and good character. As a scholar once told me: "You are an ambassador of Islam in Italy—people will judge Islam by your behavior."
🔹 A Special Memory About Imam Mahdi (aj)
"A few weeks before I became Muslim, I felt as if Imam Mahdi (aj) was always with me, wherever I went. I could sense his presence, and it brought me immense happiness. It was a beautiful, uplifting feeling. Later, after accepting Islam, I understood that this spiritual connection between Imam Mahdi (aj) and Muslims is real. Since then, I have always turned to him in times of need because he is the living proof of God on Earth. According to the sayings of the Imams (as), we must establish a bond with him and seek his intercession."
🔹 Advice for Iranian Youth
"It surprises me that many Iranian youth are unaware of the rich spiritual heritage they possess. They sit on a treasure yet look toward the West, thinking they are missing out. In reality, true freedom is found in the divine wisdom of Islam, not in Western materialism."
