Un Français converti en Islam.
French man converted to islam. Today we meet a young 'tabligh' of the new generation. We will not know his surname nor his address; this is the only condition to obtain the interview. He is a young convert, 25 years old. He discovered Islam 2 years ago, thanks to one of his African friends.
(reads from the Quran). Today he is called Ibrahim whereas 2 years ago, he was called David.
"David was when I was Christian, Ibrahim is now my name, as a Muslim."
David had always believed in God. He used to be a practicing Catholic. (showing a book to the interviewer) "I told children stories...and did catechisms. It was my job and I did it from the bottom of my heart."
To show his departure from his old religion and to prove his devotion to Islam, David had himself circumcised. "The fact that I had a circumcision means that there we go, now I am Muslim, no matter what happens now." "Was it difficult?" "The circumcision? Of course when we are much older, it is not easy, it's very painful. But it is a sacrifice that we do for God."
Like all practicing Muslims, Ibrahim prays 5 times a day in the direction of Mecca.
But in reality, he does more. He is more than a simple Muslim, he is a 'tabligh'. In all his free moments, he must pray. "Last night, I spent a good deal of time praying, in addition to the five compulsory prayers. Overall, I spent about 4-5 hours praying. But not everyday."
But it is not just the prayers. One must follow precise guidelines for life to be a 'tabligh'. The instructions are in this book "The Garden of Virtue", the book for 'tablighs'. In his daily life, he must follow all the ways of the Prophet (saw). No matter what, even if he had lived in the 16th century BC. "It is recommended to eat with 3 fingers -- the thumb, index and middle fingers. And in this position (sitting near table), and we eat with the 3 fingers. It is the position of the Prophet. "And there is also the Prophet's way of sleeping. Stretched out like this, in the direction of the kiblah."
Ibrahim has also converted other people. Today, he is a 'tabligh', a missionary of Allah.
"Have you managed to convert people?" "Yes, and it is something very strong. But it is not me that converts them, it is Allah. But to be the cause, it's formidable." "And about how many people?" "Dozens, about dozens of people."
