I was looking at muslim convert videos on Youtube, and I remember Ruba Qewar. I remember her as a Muslim sister who was very engaged in dawah. There are lots of videos of her helping other women become Muslims and having interviews about their experience. She was pretty famous and got invited to events like the GPU.
But... I just discovered that there are videos about her becoming Christian again. In one of the Arabic videos that I don't understand, she took off her hijab on the screen.
I remember there are other sisters on video who had this transformation. Christian, then Muslim, then Christian again.
Sometimes as converts I think we tend to be seen differently. We see them on videos declaring Shahadahs, praised them when they do dawah, etc. But yet many, or some of them end up leaving Islam. I think spiritual and personal development for converts are still very important, as you all have experienced how hard it is.
I hope this doesn't turn into a Ruba bashing, afterall I mentioned her name. I think this needs to be discussed.
