🔺امام خمینی رحمة الله عليه:

باید #جوانان ما بدانند تا #معنویت و عقیده به #توحید و #معاد در کسی نباشد، محال است از خود بگذرد و در فکر امت باشد.
۲۴ بهمن ۱۳۵۶

على #الشباب أن يدركوا أن الإنسان مالم ينعم #بالمعنويات و عقيدة #التوحيد و #المعاد، لا يمكن أن يضحّي بنفسه من أجل الأمة.

🔺Imam Khomeini:

Our #youth should realize that unless they possess #spirituality and belief in #monotheism and the #hereafter, it will be impossible for them to be devoted to and concerned about the ummah.

How Did Jonathan Williams Convert to Islam and Become a Shia?

According to Rahyafte (The Comprehensive Database for Converts and New Muslims), I was born in Hattiesburg, a city in the state of Mississippi, USA. My name is Rafi, but before converting to Islam, I was known as Jonathan Williams. I embraced Islam in 1991 while I was serving in the military. Born in America to Christian parents—my father was Pentecostal and my mother was Baptist—I started attending church at the age of five, although my parents were not very religious. My mother passed away in 2003.

After my military service, I returned to my hometown for a short time before moving to North Carolina, where I converted to Islam. Since then, I've been practicing Islam for over half of my life. As a child, I didn't like the loud, jubilant shouts of the Baptist preachers; they were even frightening for children. I left the church in my teenage years. Although I was quite religious, I wouldn't say I was a very good Christian. I believed in God but couldn't accept the concept of the Trinity. I didn't see the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit as three persons in one God.

In 1988, after graduating from high school and during my first year of military service, I attended gatherings where there was alcohol and other things. I wanted to change my life after my military service, so I returned to the church. However, attending church services on Sundays and Wednesdays became repetitive. Even after spending hours in the church, I still couldn't accept Christian beliefs like the Trinity, so I returned to my old ways.

One of my mother's friends, who was Muslim, suggested that I learn about Islam. In Mississippi, people would say, "Islam is a religion of fear, and this Allah is different from other gods. He only commands and punishes. Islam is the religion of idol worshipers." When my friend told me to study Islam, I said, "Muslims don't believe in God." But he replied, "No, we believe in God. Study Islam."

I started reading Islamic books. When I read the Quran, it felt like I was studying the history of all the prophets: Adam, Moses, Noah, Abraham, and a new prophet named Muhammad (peace be upon him and his family). I thought to myself, "This is a religion I can accept. Islam is the religion of monotheism. God is one and has no partners." I accepted Islam in my heart, and about a month after studying the Quran, I recited the Shahada and became a Muslim.

Converting to a new religion is a pivotal moment in one's life. I converted to Islam in 1991. At that time, I was familiar with Sunnis but knew nothing about the Shia-Sunni differences because I was only 21 years old and a new Muslim. One day, a Muslim asked me, "Are you Shia or Sunni?" I hadn't even heard the name Shia until then. He gave me a book on the history of Islam after the Prophet Muhammad. Alhamdulillah, I became a Shia because the Prophet Muhammad asked us to follow Ali (peace be upon him) and his descendants.

"I realized that what is called 'God' in Islam is truly the Absolute Oneness. This was the religion I had been searching for—Absolute Unity..."

But Pharaoh, blinded by arrogance and upheld by a priesthood steeped in sorcery, accused Moses of being a magician:

“This is but a skilled sorcerer who wishes to drive you from your land by his magic.”
(Qur’an 26:34–35)

Pharaoh challenged him to a contest, summoning his finest sorcerers. The appointed day arrived — a grand public confrontation.

The magicians cast their ropes and staffs, and by their illusion, they appeared as writhing serpents. Even Moses felt fear, but God reassured him:

“Do not fear, for you are the superior one. Cast down what is in your right hand; it will swallow up what they have made. What they have made is but a magician’s trick — and the magician will never succeed.”
(Qur’an 20:68–69)

When Moses cast his staff, it devoured their illusions. The sorcerers fell in prostration, declaring:

“We believe in the Lord of Moses and Aaron.”

Pharaoh was humiliated. Out of fury, he accused his magicians of conspiring with Moses — yet his empire had witnessed the undeniable truth.

🚶‍♂️ The Exodus Begins

From that moment, Moses began preparing his people for the Great Exodus — a divine migration from bondage to freedom, from the darkness of Pharaoh’s tyranny to the light of the Promised Land.

His mission was no longer just to confront Pharaoh, but to organize and uplift a people long broken by servitude, to restore faith, and to lead them toward divine destiny.

In a state of profound spiritual exaltation, the Israelites followed Moses into the desert of Sinai — unaware that their true journey had only begun. It was here, in the silence of the wilderness, that they would come to understand their divine destiny and the purpose of their deliverance.

Yet, moments of doubt still shadowed them. Some hearts wavered, but Moses stood unwavering, his faith unshaken.

“Indeed, my Lord is with me, and He will guide me.”
(Qur’an 26:62)

☠️ The End of Pharaoh

As the last Israelite stepped onto dry ground, and the last chariot of Pharaoh entered the seabed, God’s command came. The waters surged back — crashing over Pharaoh and his hosts.

“We saved Moses and those with him,
and drowned the others completely.”
(Qur’an 26:65–66)

Thus ended the mightiest empire of arrogance, and thus began the destiny of a nation once enslaved — a people now bound by covenant to their Lord.

🕊 The Exodus was not merely an escape — it was a transformation.
From bondage to belief, from fear to faith, from Pharaoh to freedom.
