An Astrophysicist's Daughter Accepts Islam: Amanda Morris's Story | Journey to Islam stories

​Welcome back to Journey to Islam Stories. In this video, we share the profoundly moving and intellectual journey of Sister Amanda Morris, a dual Canadian-British national who found the truth of Islam in the most unexpected place—Japan. ​Growing up with a highly moral upbringing but an agnostic scientist father, Amanda set off to Japan in the early 90s to work as a translator. It was there she encountered her very first Muslim: a kind and efficient Japanese woman who had converted to Islam and married a Sudaneseman. Driven initially by media stereotypes to "rescue" her colleague from what she thought was a oppressive lifestyle, Amanda began asking endless questions. What followed was a beautifully patient dialogue that shattered her misconceptions and initiated a deep, personal quest for the ultimate truth. ​After looking into Catholicism, Judaism, and Zen Buddhism, Amanda found the clarity, sincerity, and pure monotheism she was searching for in an open Islamic study circle run by an Egyptian student. ​Watch the full interview to hear about her secret Ramadan fasting, her father's beautiful and surprising reaction to her conversion, and the harsh realities of the trials reverts face after taking their Shahada.
