Guest: Khadija Kimchi. Known online as 'Khadija Kimchi'; Khadija is an ethnically Chinese, Canadian-born revert to Islam of 10 years. Her call to Islam began in 2011 as she describes her time up until that point as a life 'left lacking'. In the pen-ultimate year before her conversion she recalls the fruition of the innate questions which reside in all of us such as: What is the meaning of life? What is my higher purpose? (Because this isn't it!) Unaided and unfulfilled in the answer to these questions led her to reckless behaviour under the guise of having fun. Khadija's unwitting search for the truth took an unexpected turn when she witnessed a Muslim praying for the first time. As time passed, Khadija found herself nourished by the fundamental framework of Islam. Consequently, inspiring and admirable qualities such as empathy, understanding and being a beacon of support were given space to blossom. She now provides just that to other sisters through her online platform and community 'The Camellias Bloom Podcast'. Was she always a Muslim? About Khadija: Converted in 2011, that's 10 years ago From Toronto, Canada Currently lives in the Middle East She's a writer, personal trainer and social media influencer Her hobbies and interests include blogging, podcast, painting, crochet and community outreach Loves helping out the community, mainly sisters Khadija currently hosts her own podcast and is creating a community just for new Muslim sisters and convert sisters because it is a much-needed platform where we can have support from one another without judgements and with empathy. This allows sisters to know they are not alone on their journey to Allah. https://thecamelliasbloompodcast.podbean.com/ The Camellias Bloom is a community garden for convert/revert sisters all around the globe to bloom and blossom beautifully into the religion.

Guest: Sheikha Maryam Kabeer Faye. People who stay in one place (and don't travel) find it harder to absorb the signs of God in this world. That makes it harder to find what you're yearning for. Sheikha Maryam Kabeer Faye is a traveler, seeking the One, seeking the Truth. She'll never stop traveling. We consider Maryam the mother of the converts on this podcast. She converted 45 years ago in 1975. Join Maryam as she explains her journey through 10,000 veils and her journey to Islam. She talks about her travels to places like Napal, India, Afganistan, Palistine, Africa, Sri Lanka, Iran and the USA and about the people she met and how they influenced her. Maryam grew up in a liberal Jewish family in Hollywood, USA. She was an actress at the age of five. When acting in a theatre company at the age of twelve she was given a painted scroll of an ancient wanderer. On the scroll were the words: 'Seek and The Truth Shall Make You Free.' So this is what she did. Maryam documented her travels into a book. The book is called 'Journey Through Ten Thousand Veils, the Alchemy of Transformation on the Sufi Path.' Sit back, relax and enjoy. This is an interesting journey. It should inspire you to start yours too and to 'let go of your existence'.
