Disowned by His Family for Becoming Muslim: "I Would Never Change This Path" | A Kiwi's Story

In this emotional and deeply inspiring episode on Journey to Islam Stories, we share the incredible journey of Edward Wadsworth (now Abdul Jabar), a New Zealand native raised in a devout Jehovah's Witness household. Following the tragic Paris attacks in 2015, Edward set out to find the truth about Islam by picking up the Quran himself—reading it cover-to-cover at 5:00 AM every single morning. ​What he found changed his life forever, leading him to take his Shahada in just a matter of months. However, choosing the truth came with a heavy worldly price. When Edward shared his decision with his family, he was given an ultimatum: abandon Islam or face complete alienation. Choosing Allah over wealth and family, Edward was disowned and disinherited. ​Watch his full story to see how he navigated family rejection, breaking cultural stereotypes as a white Kiwi Muslim, his life-changing experience during Hajj, and how Islam gave him an orderly, peaceful, and purposeful way of life. ​If you are moved by this story, please like, comment, and subscribe to Journey to Islam Stories for more inspiring reversion journeys from around the world. ​Copyright Disclaimer ​Copyright Disclaimer Under Section 107 of the Copyright Act 176, allowance is made for "fair use" for purposes such as criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching, scholarship, and research.
