Salaam aleik'um brothers and sisters,
my name was Alfonso, and now is Assad.
This is the telling of my Shahada, and the first prayers done in the Mosque of Pisa, Italy.
I'm italian, a worker, and i have 44 yrs old. Since my youth i lived with my grandparents, and now with my Granma, a sweet old lady of 97 years, that i care and help at my best.
Well, thank to a my close friend Tunisian, i had the pleasure of have a good word, and change my view: i started to read the Qurhan and take advices from the local imam and the other Muslim faithful in the Mosque.
More i read, and more i learned, and i was convinced of the truth in the Islam, then, today, i felt that was the right day for my Shahada: the number 8 mean also the spiritual world and the phisical world that come near attached by a line, then i thought again, and this evening i go to Mosque and talked with the imam. After some talk, i recited the Shahada "Ash hadu an la ilaha Il Allah, wa ash hadu anna Muhammad Rasul Allah" (sorry for my bad Arabic pronounce but i dont know really the language, save some words)
I becomed brother of my brothers and sisters, in the Umma, and let tell me that im again emotioned for this.
I choosed my new name, Assad, because i am a positive person, generally happy and simple and this was the meaning of the name.
Then i did the Maghreb and the Isha prayers for the first time, and my first washing.
I feeel a great responsibility for me and for every other in the world, now, and i want follow the Prophet (pbsl) way, the Sunna in the best way.
Really, im too happy.
Hope this witness will help many other to find the right way, and turn to Islam, the True Way
