Thank you for this video brother Paul! I’m a Muslim living in Italy and when I saw the title of the video I was amazed! I’ve been following Dr. Francesca for quite some time now and I’m so grateful for the work she’s done in the field of Islamic psychology in Italy, may Allah bless both of you!
I come from a Italian-Venezuelan catholic family and grew up with islamaphobia teachings from my parents. I hated Islam but when I was 19 years old, I reverted to Islam :) best decision of my life, alhamdullilah
This is a great blessing of Allah at the age of 19, you must be laughing when recall your hate for ISLAM, the religion of Abraham Jacob David Moses Jesus Christ and all Prophets. 🌹💐🌹
Mashallah sister I have moved to Italy recently and I’m glad to hear that there are some Italian people have converted to Islam may Allah awt accept our efforts
Allah guides whom He wills and Allah certainly guides those who are sincerely searching for the Truth. Congratulations for being one of such blessed people.
*15 Astonishing facts About Islam That you Really don't know !* *1)* *“Islam” means “surrender” or “submission”* . “Salam” (which means “peace”) is the root word of “Islam”. In a religious context the word “Islam” means “the surrendering of one’s will (without compulsion) to the true will of God in an effort to achieve peace”. *2)* *“Muslim” means “anyone or anything that surrenders itself to the true will of God”.* By this definition, everything in nature (trees, animals, planets, etc.) are “muslims” because they are in a state of surrender to God’s will. In other words, they are fulfilling the purpose for which God created them. *3)* *Islam is not a new religion or cult.* It is a universal way of life and civilization. *Again, Islam is not a new religion,* rather it is the same message preached by all earlier prophets such as Adam, Noah, Abraham, Moses, and Jesus (peace be upon them all). But God’s final message to mankind was revealed to the last prophet, Muhammad (peace be upon him), as a revival of lost teachings of previous prophets and as a reconfirmation of the eternal message. Studies show that between 1.5 and 1.8 billion people in the world identify their religion as Islam. Along with Judaism and Christianity it traces its roots through Prophet Abraham and back to the first humans Adam and Eve. *4)* *There are five pillars of practice in Islam.* These practices must be undertaken with the best of effort in order to be considered a true Muslim: A) Declaration of faith: A statement proclaiming the belief in One God and that Muhammad is a prophet of God. To become Muslim a person simply recites this statement publicly, and in Arabic. B) Formal prayer five times a day. C) Poor-due tax: 2.5% of one’s excess wealth given to the needy once a year. D) Fasting during the daylight hours in the month of Ramadan. E) Pilgrimage to Mecca at least once, if physically and financially able. *5)* *There are six articles of faith in Islam.* These are the basic beliefs that one must have in order to be considered a true Muslim. They are belief in: A) the One God. B) all of the true prophets of God. C) the original scriptures revealed to Moses, David, Jesus and Muhammad. D) the angels. E) the Day of Judgment and the Hereafter. F) destiny. *6)* *Muslims believe in the one Creator of the Universe, referring to Him as “Allah”* which is the Arabic word for “God”. Muslims worldwide, even English-speaking Muslims, frequently use the Arabic word “Allah” because Arabic is the language of the Qur’an. But Allah is no different than the God of Abraham, Moses and Jesus. The Creator is the Creator regardless of what people call Him. In the English language He is most commonly referred to as “God”. Yet Jesus spoke a different language, referring to God as “Eloi” in Mark 15:34 of the New Testament. Are “God” and “Eloi” different gods? Many Hispanics call God “Dios” and many French say “Dieu”. It would logically follow then that people who refer to God as “Allah” in the Arabic language are referring to the very same God. In fact, many Arab Jews and Arab Christians call God “Allah”. And the word “Allah” is written in Arabic script on the walls of many Arab churches and on the pages of Arabic Bibles. So while the understanding of God may differ between faith groups, the various names used to describe Him does not change the fact that the one Creator of the Universe is the God of all people. This is *Allah* Almighty, The Creator, the one and only true God. He is my God, our God: *"Allah - there is no deity except Him, the Ever-Living, the Sustainer of [all] existence. Neither drowsiness overtakes Him nor sleep. To Him belongs whatever is in the heavens and whatever is on the earth. Who is it that can intercede with Him except by His permission? He knows what is [presently] before them and what will be after them, and they encompass not a thing of His knowledge except for what He wills. His Kursi (Throne) extends over the heavens and the earth, and their preservation tires Him not. And He is the Most High, the Most Great."* (Quran 2:255) *{Say, “He is Allah, the One. Allah, to Whom the creatures turn for their needs. He begets not, nor was He begotten, and there is none like Him.” }* (Quran, 112:1-4) Allah Almighty says in the Quran: *"Say, "O My servants who have transgressed against themselves [by sinning], do not despair of the mercy of Allah . Indeed, Allah forgives all sins. Indeed, it is He who is the Forgiving, the Merciful."* [Quran 39:53] *7)* *The Islamic concept of God* is that He is loving, merciful and compassionate. Islam also teaches that He is all-knowing and the perfect judge of affairs, and will punish (or forgive) accordingly. However, Allah once said to Muhammad, “My mercy prevails over my wrath”. So Islam teaches a balance between fear and hope, protecting one from both complacency and despair. *8)* *Muslims believe that God has revealed 99 of His names, or attributes, in the Qur’an.* It is through these names that one can come to know the Creator. A few of these names are the All-Merciful, the All-Knower, the Protector, the Provider, the Near, the First, the Last, the Hidden and the Source of All Peace. *9)* *The Christian concept of “vicarious atonement” (the idea that Jesus died for the sins of humanity) is alien to the Islamic concept of personal responsibility.* Islam teaches that on the Day of Judgment every person will be resurrected and will be accountable to God for their every word and deed. Consequently, a practicing Muslim is always striving to be righteous while hoping and praying for God’s acceptance and grace. *10)* *Muslims believe in all of the true prophets* that preceded Muhammad, from Adam to Jesus. Muslims believe they brought the same message of voluntarily surrendering to God’s will (islam, in a generic sense) to different peoples at different times. Muslims also believe they were “muslims” (again, in a generic sense) since they followed God’s true guidance and surrendered their will to Him. *11)* *Muslims neither worship Muhammad nor pray through him.* Muslims worship the Unseen, Omniscient Creator, Allah. *12)* *Muslims accept the original unaltered Torah (as revealed to Moses) and the original unaltered Bible (as revealed to Jesus)* since they were revealed by God. But none of these scriptures exist today in their original form or in their entirety. Therefore, Muslims follow the subsequent, final and preserved revelation of God, the Qur’an. *13)* *The Qur’an was not authored by Muhammad.* It was authored by God, revealed to Muhammad (through angel Gabriel) and written into physical form by his companions. *14)* *The original Arabic text of the Qur’an contains no flaws or contradictions* and has not been altered since its revelation. *15)* *Actual 7th century Qur’ans, complete and intact,* are on display in museums in Turkey and other places around the world. 🔹️ *EVIDENCE ISLAM IS TRUTH* The following are Scientific, logical, and historical proofs that Islam is the Truth: www.islamreligion.com/category/33/evidence-islam-is-truth/ 🔸️ *For more information about Islam:* www.islam-guide.com 🔹️ *Everything to know about the Prophet of Islam* rasoulallah.net/en/articles/article/6818/ 🔹️ *"Myths about The Prophet of Islam"* www.muhammadfactcheck.org 🔹️ *Islam and Racism* Islam with its universal concept of brotherhood rejects all artificial and man-made marks of distinction. Allah Almighty says in the noble Quran: "O mankind, indeed We (Allah) have created you from male and female and made you peoples and tribes that you may know one another. Indeed, the most noble of you in the sight of Allah is the most righteous of you. Indeed, Allah is Knowing and Acquainted." *(Quran 49:13)* No one can claim any superiority over the other based on race, color, language or wealth and this is emphasized in the last sermon of Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) showing high regard of humanity irrespective of color or race: "“All mankind is from Adam and Eve, an Arab has no superiority over a non-Arab nor a non-Arab has any superiority over an Arab; also a white has no superiority over a black nor does a black have any superiority over a white except by piety and good action.” 🔹️ *How to convert (revert) to Islam* Basically to become a Muslim is very simple.. you need to say the decleration of faith oraly while you believe in it by heart with a firm conviction and unshakeable faith. *The decleration of Faith in Islam (The Shahada)* The Shahada (in Arabic) can be declared as follows : *“ASH-HADU ANLA ELAHA ILLA-ALLAH WA ASH-HADU ANNA MOHAMMADAN RASUL-ALLAH”* The English translation is : *“I bear witness that there is no deity (none truly to be worshipped) but, Allah, and I bear witness that Mohammad is the messenger of Allah.”* However, it would not be sufficient for anyone to only utter this testimony oraly either in private or in public; but rather, he should believe in it by heart with a firm conviction and unshakeable faith. If one is truly sincere and complies with the teachings of Islam in all his life, he will find himself a new born person. 🔹️ *New Muslim Guide (in several languages)* newmuslimguide.com/ar/languages 🔹️ *New Muslims eLearning site* (It is for new Muslim converts who would like to learn their new religion in an easy and systematic way.

@@SA-Arabia There's nothing astonishing about Islam because nearly 75% of everything in Islam is borrowed from other religions. Almost all the points above are pure lies. There's no need to misguide others.
Born and raised in Rome, i embraced Islam while in my early 20's in 1991. Back then there weren't many of us and we were seen as some kind of crazies or freaks, mocked and discriminated to the point that we would have to conceal our faith from most people. In the following decades, more and more Italians embraced Islam alongside to more and more people moving to Italy from predominantly Muslim countries. We've gone a long way in terms of recognition and acceptance, but there's still a looong way to go. A young, knowledgeable and balanced sister like Francesca, gives me hope.
Allah guided you to His religion, the religion of Abraham Jacob David Solomon Moses Jesus Christ and the final prophet Muhammad. Even the Prophets were mocked and not spared, insha'Allah you will be rewarded for what you have passed. Congratulations for the greatest blessing of Allah, guidance to Islam and insha'Allah eternal life
Assalamualaikum. Yes, she was my lecturer for 2 semesters also. I always found her articulate and passionate about what she taught, so I shouldn’t be surprised at how articulate and passionate she comes across on this subject. May Allah bless, protect, and help her and our Muslim ummah in Italy, and cause many to become Muslims through them. Aameen
She taught me Psychology from an Islamic perspective. I think most of her writings and publications are in Italian though. You should be able to look them up on Google. Allahuaqlam
@@markturoyo1787 Read the Quran translated and commented on by Muhammad Asad, a european jewish intellectual, who converted to Islam, and Major Themes of the Quran by Fazlur Rahman, an Oxford University educated scholar and professor. The Quran is the most authentic source for Islam, not the hadith, which developed and canonised centuries later. It will free your mind of confusion, your heart of pain, and your life of overwhelming troubles. Replace your misguided hate with knowledge and wisdom, and you will be in a better place - psychologically, spiritually, socially, God willing. If you are fair, you will come to learn that Muhammad pbuh resembled Moses and Jesus in the best of who they were, and even excelled them in worldly success. You will see the sincerity, sacrifice, and legitimacy of one who came to help you and me, from God, and in so doing suffered incredibly and lived most frugally. There is no cogent argument against the Quran or the Prophet Muhammad pbuh when considered comprehensively - for lies are bound to perish. Alhamdulillah.
Well in Italy exist freedom of religion anf the law prohibit the cohertion of the community ,the bully ...so probably yes...more people will convert to Islam. In islamic countries if you have born in amuslim family ( according to sharia) then you dont have freedom to convert to other religion, the communitarism is very strong and freedom of religion only exists for no muslims to convert to islam. No reciprocity. Even no muslims preacher cannot talk to muslims...so tolerant.
Assalam Alaykum, I’ve been following Blogging Theology religiously (pun intended) and was delighted to see Dr. Francesca Bocca-Aldaqre as a guest discussing Islam in Italy. As an Italian convert who found my path to Islam abroad, I resonate with Dr. Bocca-Aldaqre’s journey. My studies brought me closer to God, and now, as a practicing scientist, I am proud to be Muslim. Many blessings to you, Brother Paul, for your fantastic work and guests. I’ve learned so much and grown deeper in my faith through this amazing Religion that our beloved Prophet (peace be upon him) taught us with the mercy of God, the Almighty. I’m grateful to have family who accepted my conversion despite not being religious, and I’ll be sharing this video with them in hopes of deepening their understanding of Islam. It also warms my heart to see Sister Dr. Francesca Bocca-Aldaqre championing our Religion despite the prejudices that many in the West, especially in our home country, have about women and Islam. Many blessings to both of you!

Do you know what the Israelites liked to do with that pagan golden calf before Mose came? They loved it, danced around it and had fun. I heard from a moslem that they do love the stone which came from above. They kiss it, go around the Kaaba several times. It's the same behaviour as said with that pagan calf. Moses warned not to love and worship such death things. God would have nearly killed the for that before Moses begged for grace This time judgement is coming. Be careful
Thank you Mr. Paul, I am an Arab Muslim, I mean I was born a Muslim and I am proud of you and Ms. Francesca because you converted to Islam and took it upon yourselves to spread its message and share it with others. I hope that you will increase these wonderful videos and make a podcast or meet with new Muslims, men and women who have a wealth of knowledge and culture and are creative in their field so that we can benefit from their experience and information.

Masha'Allah! May Allah SWT reward and bless you Brother Paul for interviewing this Sister and may Allah SWT reward and bless Sister Francesca for her Dawah efforts in Italy 🇮🇹.
SubhaanAllah the sister even helped create burial grounds for Muslims in Italy. May Allah protect her. You can definitely feel a shift in time at the moment in Europe, as a 3rd generation Muslim in the UK, it's palpable. My father used to always say, don't get too comfy in this country, they will never see you as one of them. I used to think he was crazy. .. The only true solution for the Ummah is One Land under Allah's Divine Law. We all know this deep down. But for now we keep going.
Do you realize that for a non Muslim your post is very creepy? It would be like an Arab scholar in Grenada during middle ages who heard some christian saying that it's ok for now but one day this should all be catholic. 😱
@@gudemik5335 Westerners are most aware that Islam solves all social, economic and environmental problems, whereas the minds of "traditional" Muslims are colonised, I.e. the still look up to the West as something to be emulated, e.g. Saudis trying very hard to be American.
My dear son, it is comforting to spread one's eyes to the longer horizon of history, it gives much hope, as many Muslim nations were once non-Muslim. They became Muslim due to people like us & the blessing of our Rabb, Alhamdulillah. The UK can easily become Muslim in time in sha Allah, birth pangs are always painful. Yes, history does also remind us when we do not do DAWAH to non-Muslims with graceful adab, & we should have a back-up plan & not get to comfortable in this Andalusi garden & its hedonism.
As a British Muslim, who has been living in Italy (Trieste) since 1999, I found this video very insightful. I would also like to mention that I have written a book of poems (which have been described as "Sufi-inspired"). I would love to have these poems translated into Italian from English as many Italians (non-Muslims) have told me that Italians would find them both quite interesting and inspiring .... and above all that the poems are inclusive and not restricted to a particular culture. I would be grateful if Dr Francesca Bocca-Aldaqre or somebody else could, perhaps point me in a direction that could see the poems reach an Italian audience. Thank you very much indeed!
Ma sha Allah. It's my habit to watch your long videos in parts but this one is so interesting that I'm watching the whole of it now 👏 The guest is so educated and respectful, it's great to see how Muslims from different countries can contribute to the Ummah through the positive aspects of their cultures 👌

Islam creates societies even muslims don't want to live in. They move to countries created on Christian principles and then try to recreate the Muslim society that had to move away from in the first place. Then complained about intolerance even though there are no churches allowed in many Islamic countries. Hypocrisy and delusion

My wife is napolitan and i have been frequenting italy for over 20 years. I found that the italians are really stuck in their old views of Islam but they are becoming a bit more curiouse and interested to hear from the new generation of Muslims, the Muslims that were born and brought up in Western societies. Its still a kind of taboo..ish subject because the parents of the young people of this generation ate way way older so they have more of a negative feel about Islam and Muslims in general. Its just the feeling/observation i got.
That's good They should understand them the few new reverts to islam..leave the muslims from the muslim world don't judge islam by seeing the actions of what muslims are doing in their home countries to each other....
The insularity as shown with respect to the command of languages appears to permeate their Weltanschauung. The British, though they are as infamous with the stereotypical "monolingual moron" aspect, are the recent rulers of a multi-ethnic empire, so are much more attuned to multiculturalism. The Cosmopolitan Roman Empire was hugely rewarded in its time, & the fascists were too shallow & narrow to effect any societal change. The Americanisation/globalisation soft power will naturally be an allure for the young.
Two most educated people from Europe discussing about Iqbal. I used to take it lightly when my Pakistani parents told me to read his poetry. Iqbal was the person who had the true understanding, value, love, wisdom and meaning with depth about Islam and the way he wrote his poetry with fewer lines to define the greatest of truths of this universe and it's creator.

As an italian researching Islam this Is very interesting🙂
Thank you for your wonderful comment. Best wishes for your research. 😊 May God guide you to truth. 💗
*15 Astonishing facts About Islam That you Really don't know !*
*1)* *“Islam” means “surrender” or “submission”* . “Salam” (which means “peace”) is the root word of “Islam”. In a religious context the word “Islam” means “the surrendering of one’s will (without compulsion) to the true will of God in an effort to achieve peace”.
*2)* *“Muslim” means “anyone or anything that surrenders itself to the true will of God”.* By this definition, everything in nature (trees, animals, planets, etc.) are “muslims” because they are in a state of surrender to God’s will. In other words, they are fulfilling the purpose for which God created them.
*3)* *Islam is not a new religion or cult.* It is a universal way of life and civilization. *Again, Islam is not a new religion,* rather it is the same message preached by all earlier prophets such as Adam, Noah, Abraham, Moses, and Jesus (peace be upon them all). But God’s final message to mankind was revealed to the last prophet, Muhammad (peace be upon him), as a revival of lost teachings of previous prophets and as a reconfirmation of the eternal message. Studies show that between 1.5 and 1.8 billion people in the world identify their religion as Islam. Along with Judaism and Christianity it traces its roots through Prophet Abraham and back to the first humans Adam and Eve.
*4)* *There are five pillars of practice in Islam.* These practices must be undertaken with the best of effort in order to be considered a true Muslim: A) Declaration of faith: A statement proclaiming the belief in One God and that Muhammad is a prophet of God. To become Muslim a person simply recites this statement publicly, and in Arabic. B) Formal prayer five times a day. C) Poor-due tax: 2.5% of one’s excess wealth given to the needy once a year. D) Fasting during the daylight hours in the month of Ramadan. E) Pilgrimage to Mecca at least once, if physically and financially able.
*5)* *There are six articles of faith in Islam.* These are the basic beliefs that one must have in order to be considered a true Muslim. They are belief in: A) the One God. B) all of the true prophets of God. C) the original scriptures revealed to Moses, David, Jesus and Muhammad. D) the angels. E) the Day of Judgment and the Hereafter. F) destiny.
*6)* *Muslims believe in the one Creator of the Universe, referring to Him as “Allah”* which is the Arabic word for “God”. Muslims worldwide, even English-speaking Muslims, frequently use the Arabic word “Allah” because Arabic is the language of the Qur’an. But Allah is no different than the God of Abraham, Moses and Jesus. The Creator is the Creator regardless of what people call Him. In the English language He is most commonly referred to as “God”. Yet Jesus spoke a different language, referring to God as “Eloi” in Mark 15:34 of the New Testament. Are “God” and “Eloi” different gods? Many Hispanics call God “Dios” and many French say “Dieu”. It would logically follow then that people who refer to God as “Allah” in the Arabic language are referring to the very same God. In fact, many Arab Jews and Arab Christians call God “Allah”. And the word “Allah” is written in Arabic script on the walls of many Arab churches and on the pages of Arabic Bibles. So while the understanding of God may differ between faith groups, the various names used to describe Him does not change the fact that the one Creator of the Universe is the God of all people.
This is *Allah* Almighty, The Creator, the one and only true God. He is my God, our God:
*"Allah - there is no deity except Him, the Ever-Living, the Sustainer of [all] existence. Neither drowsiness overtakes Him nor sleep. To Him belongs whatever is in the heavens and whatever is on the earth. Who is it that can intercede with Him except by His permission? He knows what is [presently] before them and what will be after them, and they encompass not a thing of His knowledge except for what He wills. His Kursi (Throne) extends over the heavens and the earth, and their preservation tires Him not. And He is the Most High, the Most Great."*
(Quran 2:255)
*{Say, “He is Allah, the One. Allah, to Whom the creatures turn for their needs. He begets not, nor was He begotten, and there is none like Him.” }*
(Quran, 112:1-4)
Allah Almighty says in the Quran:
*"Say, "O My servants who have transgressed against themselves [by sinning], do not despair of the mercy of Allah . Indeed, Allah forgives all sins. Indeed, it is He who is the Forgiving, the Merciful."*
[Quran 39:53]
*7)* *The Islamic concept of God* is that He is loving, merciful and compassionate. Islam also teaches that He is all-knowing and the perfect judge of affairs, and will punish (or forgive) accordingly. However, Allah once said to Muhammad, “My mercy prevails over my wrath”. So Islam teaches a balance between fear and hope, protecting one from both complacency and despair.
*8)* *Muslims believe that God has revealed 99 of His names, or attributes, in the Qur’an.* It is through these names that one can come to know the Creator. A few of these names are the All-Merciful, the All-Knower, the Protector, the Provider, the Near, the First, the Last, the Hidden and the Source of All Peace.
*9)* *The Christian concept of “vicarious atonement” (the idea that Jesus died for the sins of humanity) is alien to the Islamic concept of personal responsibility.* Islam teaches that on the Day of Judgment every person will be resurrected and will be accountable to God for their every word and deed. Consequently, a practicing Muslim is always striving to be righteous while hoping and praying for God’s acceptance and grace.
*10)* *Muslims believe in all of the true prophets* that preceded Muhammad, from Adam to Jesus. Muslims believe they brought the same message of voluntarily surrendering to God’s will (islam, in a generic sense) to different peoples at different times. Muslims also believe they were “muslims” (again, in a generic sense) since they followed God’s true guidance and surrendered their will to Him.
*11)* *Muslims neither worship Muhammad nor pray through him.* Muslims worship the Unseen, Omniscient Creator, Allah.
*12)* *Muslims accept the original unaltered Torah (as revealed to Moses) and the original unaltered Bible (as revealed to Jesus)* since they were revealed by God. But none of these scriptures exist today in their original form or in their entirety. Therefore, Muslims follow the subsequent, final and preserved revelation of God, the Qur’an.
*13)* *The Qur’an was not authored by Muhammad.* It was authored by God, revealed to Muhammad (through angel Gabriel) and written into physical form by his companions.
*14)* *The original Arabic text of the Qur’an contains no flaws or contradictions* and has not been altered since its revelation.
*15)* *Actual 7th century Qur’ans, complete and intact,* are on display in museums in Turkey and other places around the world.
🔹️ *EVIDENCE ISLAM IS TRUTH*
The following are Scientific, logical, and historical proofs that Islam is the Truth:

🔸️ *For more information about Islam:*

🔹️ *Everything to know about the Prophet of Islam*
rasoulallah.net/en/articles/article/6818/
🔹️ *"Myths about The Prophet of Islam"*
www.muhammadfactcheck.org
🔹️ *Islam and Racism*
Islam with its universal concept of brotherhood rejects all artificial and man-made marks of distinction.
Allah Almighty says in the noble Quran:
"O mankind, indeed We (Allah) have created you from male and female and made you peoples and tribes that you may know one another. Indeed, the most noble of you in the sight of Allah is the most righteous of you. Indeed, Allah is Knowing and Acquainted."
*(Quran 49:13)*
No one can claim any superiority over the other based on race, color, language or wealth and this is emphasized in the last sermon of Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) showing high regard of humanity irrespective of color or race:
"“All mankind is from Adam and Eve, an Arab has no superiority over a non-Arab nor a non-Arab has any superiority over an Arab; also a white has no superiority over a black nor does a black have any superiority over a white except by piety and good action.”
🔹️ *How to convert (revert) to Islam*
Basically to become a Muslim is very simple.. you need to say the decleration of faith oraly while you believe in it by heart with a firm conviction and unshakeable faith.
*The decleration of Faith in Islam (The Shahada)*
The Shahada (in Arabic) can be declared as follows :
*“ASH-HADU ANLA ELAHA ILLA-ALLAH WA ASH-HADU ANNA MOHAMMADAN RASUL-ALLAH”*
The English translation is :
*“I bear witness that there is no deity (none truly to be worshipped) but, Allah, and I bear witness that Mohammad is the messenger of Allah.”*
However, it would not be sufficient for anyone to only utter this testimony oraly either in private or in public; but rather, he should believe in it by heart with a firm conviction and unshakeable faith. If one is truly sincere and complies with the teachings of Islam in all his life, he will find himself a new born person.

@@SA-Arabia There's nothing astonishing about Islam because nearly 75% of everything in Islam is borrowed from other religions. Almost all the points above are pure lies. There's no need to misguide others.
Peace and blessings be upon u
Any questions brother ? Feel welcomed
Born and raised in Rome, i embraced Islam while in my early 20's in 1991. Back then there weren't many of us and we were seen as some kind of crazies or freaks, mocked and discriminated to the point that we would have to conceal our faith from most people. In the following decades, more and more Italians embraced Islam alongside to more and more people moving to Italy from predominantly Muslim countries. We've gone a long way in terms of recognition and acceptance, but there's still a looong way to go. A young, knowledgeable and balanced sister like Francesca, gives me hope.
Wow may Allah bless you
Allah guided you to His religion, the religion of Abraham Jacob David Solomon Moses Jesus Christ and the final prophet Muhammad. Even the Prophets were mocked and not spared, insha'Allah you will be rewarded for what you have passed. Congratulations for the greatest blessing of Allah, guidance to Islam and insha'Allah eternal life
you wont go much further if you dont sort your radicals out.
@@akhan8456 So so true
that is amazing, at early age you had a pure heart with clear direction, May Allah bless, support and grant you knowledge and good health.
She was my lecturer for two courses, may Allah reward her with kheir.

Assalamualaikum. Yes, she was my lecturer for 2 semesters also. I always found her articulate and passionate about what she taught, so I shouldn’t be surprised at how articulate and passionate she comes across on this subject. May Allah bless, protect, and help her and our Muslim ummah in Italy, and cause many to become Muslims through them. Aameen
@@miichannel891 salam. what did she teach, and does she have any interesting material you can recommend?
She taught me Psychology from an Islamic perspective. I think most of her writings and publications are in Italian though. You should be able to look them up on Google. Allahuaqlam
@@markturoyo1787 Read the Quran translated and commented on by Muhammad Asad, a european jewish intellectual, who converted to Islam, and Major Themes of the Quran by Fazlur Rahman, an Oxford University educated scholar and professor. The Quran is the most authentic source for Islam, not the hadith, which developed and canonised centuries later. It will free your mind of confusion, your heart of pain, and your life of overwhelming troubles. Replace your misguided hate with knowledge and wisdom, and you will be in a better place - psychologically, spiritually, socially, God willing. If you are fair, you will come to learn that Muhammad pbuh resembled Moses and Jesus in the best of who they were, and even excelled them in worldly success. You will see the sincerity, sacrifice, and legitimacy of one who came to help you and me, from God, and in so doing suffered incredibly and lived most frugally. There is no cogent argument against the Quran or the Prophet Muhammad pbuh when considered comprehensively - for lies are bound to perish. Alhamdulillah.
Brother Paul, your contributions to Islam are extremely valuable. May. Allah SWT reward you for your work.
Ameen

That is so true, his unique skill set & interests bring added value & new facets of the diamonds of Islam, the Ummah.
Im a born Muslim and don't even come close to the reverts mashalla may Allah reward them
FYI all human beings are born Muslims ;)
Such a gentle lady .May allah guide more italians to islam through her .
Well in Italy exist freedom of religion anf the law prohibit the cohertion of the community ,the bully ...so probably yes...more people will convert to Islam. In islamic countries if you have born in amuslim family ( according to sharia) then you dont have freedom to convert to other religion, the communitarism is very strong and freedom of religion only exists for no muslims to convert to islam. No reciprocity. Even no muslims preacher cannot talk to muslims...so tolerant.

Assalam Alaykum, I’ve been following Blogging Theology religiously (pun intended) and was delighted to see Dr. Francesca Bocca-Aldaqre as a guest discussing Islam in Italy. As an Italian convert who found my path to Islam abroad, I resonate with Dr. Bocca-Aldaqre’s journey. My studies brought me closer to God, and now, as a practicing scientist, I am proud to be Muslim. Many blessings to you, Brother Paul, for your fantastic work and guests. I’ve learned so much and grown deeper in my faith through this amazing Religion that our beloved Prophet (peace be upon him) taught us with the mercy of God, the Almighty. I’m grateful to have family who accepted my conversion despite not being religious, and I’ll be sharing this video with them in hopes of deepening their understanding of Islam. It also warms my heart to see Sister Dr. Francesca Bocca-Aldaqre championing our Religion despite the prejudices that many in the West, especially in our home country, have about women and Islam. Many blessings to both of you!
Welcome to Islam 💐 May Allah bless you and guide your beloved to the Truth 🤲
MashaAllah I am 2Min into this Video and I'm already impressed by her education 😮, may Allah preserve her 😊

Do you know what the Israelites liked to do with that pagan golden calf before Mose came?
They loved it, danced around it and had fun.
I heard from a moslem that they do love the stone which came from above. They kiss it, go around the Kaaba several times.
It's the same behaviour as said with that pagan calf.
Moses warned not to love and worship such death things.
God would have nearly killed the for that before Moses begged for grace
This time judgement is coming. Be careful
and raise her in ranks ameen
Thank you Mr. Paul, I am an Arab Muslim, I mean I was born a Muslim and I am proud of you and Ms. Francesca because you converted to Islam and took it upon yourselves to spread its message and share it with others. I hope that you will increase these wonderful videos and make a podcast or meet with new Muslims, men and women who have a wealth of knowledge and culture and are creative in their field so that we can benefit from their experience and information.
Isn't Islam in chaos 'all around the world'. Gaza, in europe......africa......everywhere
@@ujithadissanayake9078 .
In fact chaos is caused by spiteful non-Muslims who hate Islam and Muslims , You are talking about Gaza Anyone who follows the situation sees that Muslims are being exterminated with the help and blessing of European countries, In Iraq and Syria American and European bases are present there causing chaos and making Muslims emigrate from their countries , In Britain a Christian boy born in Wales stabbed British girls so failed extremists came out and attacked mosques and assaulted British Muslims who were not guilty of the crime They caused huge chaos burned everything and assaulted police officers The problem lies in some sick mentalities that do not want to coexist with Islam and Muslims and sow hatred and racism everywhere they are, Islam is a great integrated religion because it comes from God and calls for justice, peace, tolerance, and coexistence with non-Muslims ,They put in a lot of effort and money to distort this great religion and describe it with bad qualities, but they failed and will fail in the future. The evidence for my words is that everyone embraces this great religion, whether they are ordinary people or an educated elite or Famous and influential people, even senior churchmen, as this religion is the most widespread in the world, and white Britons, especially women, are the most likely to enter the great religion of Islam.

SubhaanAllah the sister even helped create burial grounds for Muslims in Italy. May Allah protect her. You can definitely feel a shift in time at the moment in Europe, as a 3rd generation Muslim in the UK, it's palpable. My father used to always say, don't get too comfy in this country, they will never see you as one of them. I used to think he was crazy.

The only true solution for the Ummah is One Land under Allah's Divine Law. We all know this deep down. But for now we keep going.
The Islamic revival will come from the West IMO insha Allah
Do you realize that for a non Muslim your post is very creepy? It would be like an Arab scholar in Grenada during middle ages who heard some christian saying that it's ok for now but one day this should all be catholic. 😱
@@gudemik5335 Westerners are most aware that Islam solves all social, economic and environmental problems, whereas the minds of "traditional" Muslims are colonised, I.e. the still look up to the West as something to be emulated, e.g. Saudis trying very hard to be American.
My dear son, it is comforting to spread one's eyes to the longer horizon of history, it gives much hope, as many Muslim nations were once non-Muslim.
They became Muslim due to people like us & the blessing of our Rabb, Alhamdulillah.
The UK can easily become Muslim in time in sha Allah, birth pangs are always painful.

As a British Muslim, who has been living in Italy (Trieste) since 1999, I found this video very insightful. I would also like to mention that I have written a book of poems (which have been described as "Sufi-inspired"). I would love to have these poems translated into Italian from English as many Italians (non-Muslims) have told me that Italians would find them both quite interesting and inspiring .... and above all that the poems are inclusive and not restricted to a particular culture. I would be grateful if Dr Francesca Bocca-Aldaqre or somebody else could, perhaps point me in a direction that could see the poems reach an Italian audience. Thank you very much indeed!
Is there any poem about Chickens advertising KFC?

Islam = the truth. It will find its way into every house on earth
Islam creates societies even muslims don't want to live in. They move to countries created on Christian principles and then try to recreate the Muslim society that had to move away from in the first place. Then complained about intolerance even though there are no churches allowed in many Islamic countries. Hypocrisy and delusion

Masha Alla, listening to and seeing Sister Francesca speak somehow took me back to the Golden Age when the Ummah was truly diverse and you had Muslim Scholars and heavyweights from multiple cultures and nations all working together to advance science, art, technology, and knowledge sharing.
Insha Allah, we create a new gloruous age in our time. It may seem unattainable these days with the state of the world, but we should be optimistic, get closer to Allah, and stick together, and we will get there.
Allah**
Why did the Golden Age end ~800 years back? Thank Al Gazali for that.
May Allah bless you both. Ameen
Brother Paul, the way you preach Islamic teaching shows your quench for Jannat ul Firdaus!

Masya Allah Tabaraqallah, alhamdulillah makin banyak smart people yg dibukakan pintu hatinya untuk menerima hdayah Allah dan kembali kepada fitrahnya sebagai manusia. (QS Al A'raf ayat 172)
Everyone is a unique gemstone in the casket cornucopia of the Ummah ma sha Allah.

Very interesting talk, thank you.
Amazing. A lot of wisdom imparted by this sister.
Thank you very much sharing these ideas about Islam, it’s mind opening and inspiring.
I like this episode because sometimes I feel its a little bit complicated and academic for me to understand this one is easy to follow still interesting and educating. Thank you.
Dr Iqbal was the first person who prayed and gave azan in the Cordoba mosque in 1934, after 1492, almost after 442 years,he was given special permission to pray in the mosque, but he gave Azaan,in slow voice with teary eyes because of the glorious history we had there,, after prayer he sat down and wrote one of the most profound poetry in the memory of Andalusia islam
That honor came to an Indian who made Pakistan
These Times come to people in turns , Allaah SwTA takes Al Islam to whomever He Wishes in Myriads of Ways & Means Infinite
@@deepsareen1 believe it or not, he wanted seperate muslim federation but in 30s it was not possible for British to leave India so he said either in British Empire or outside of British Empire there should be seperate nation for the Indian muslims, his intention was good but he trusted wrong people, he might have retract from his view if he lived till 50s
@@deepsareen1 Iqbal literally campaigned for it, he invited and insisted Jinnah to return to India as Jinnah was living in self proclaimed exile and never intended to return to India, he also participated in election in Punjab assembly, you can't deny the fact that Iqbal wanted Pakistan because he was not in the power of Trusting Hindus anymore, especially Jinnah... I am just telling you their views, okay don't take it to religious angle
@@deepsareen1 converting other people isn't valid through sword, it is only valid if people converting by their own free will
Thank you both. Interesting and great video.
Thank you for such a meaningful session. This will open great prospects in the future, InshaÁllah. Salam from Pakistan.
You people are a clear sign of Allah swt, that Allah swt guide whom he wants. He as given you the knowledge and wisdom to share Islam with others. May Allah swt bless and guide you all Aameen.
Since I retired Blogging Theology become a blessing for my imaan and world view as a Muslim. Always interesting and enlightening.
May Allah reward both of you
Masha Allah sister you have done a wonderful job, May Allah bless you.

all best wishes and blessings to all reverted muslims of Italy watching from India the city Hyderabad
My wife is napolitan and i have been frequenting italy for over 20 years. I found that the italians are really stuck in their old views of Islam but they are becoming a bit more curiouse and interested to hear from the new generation of Muslims, the Muslims that were born and brought up in Western societies. Its still a kind of taboo..ish subject because the parents of the young people of this generation ate way way older so they have more of a negative feel about Islam and Muslims in general. Its just the feeling/observation i got.
That's good They should understand them the few new reverts to islam..leave the muslims from the muslim world don't judge islam by seeing the actions of what muslims are doing in their home countries to each other....
Oh yeah Muslim integration in the west is going really well 🥸
The insularity as shown with respect to the command of languages appears to permeate their Weltanschauung.
The British, though they are as infamous with the stereotypical "monolingual moron" aspect, are the recent rulers of a multi-ethnic empire, so are much more attuned to multiculturalism.
The Cosmopolitan Roman Empire was hugely rewarded in its time, & the fascists were too shallow & narrow to effect any societal change.
The Americanisation/globalisation soft power will naturally be an allure for the young.
Islam use to rule in sicily island for 80 years if I'm not wrong and Islamic adhab was absorb to Italian culture
@@boboboy8189 what????? When islam rule in sicily island for 80 years???
Assalamualaikum . Alhamdulillah . Brotherly love from far east 🤲🤲🤲💜🇸🇬
Two most educated people from Europe discussing about Iqbal. I used to take it lightly when my Pakistani parents told me to read his poetry. Iqbal was the person who had the true understanding, value, love, wisdom and meaning with depth about Islam and the way he wrote his poetry with fewer lines to define the greatest of truths of this universe and it's creator.
Do acquaint yourself to the drinking habits of Iqbal. His son has stated them on camera in many videos.
She is my teacher in Italy! She is amazing mashallah! 🤲
May allah bless you both and reward you for your services to the deen.
So beautiful!
May Allah protect you all.

Alhamdulillah! I love how our reverted brothers and sisters are doing such a good job representing researching and discussing Islam and bridging the "east vs west" gap. Just proves that Allah set sent down Islam for all times and all people of the world. Allah Hu Akbar! May Allah reward them. Ameen! and May Allah swt help our brothers and sisters in Gaza and Palestine who are going through one of the worst genocides in history of Mankind. Ameen!
Ameen
The revival of Islam will come from the West IMO insha Allah
@@fiqhonomics revival of west it wasn't even in the west in first place
@@mathewpt4478Neither was Christianity but it arrived and did tremendous things. If people want to convert to Islam then that’s their business but I laugh at Muslim clowns who live in the west who want to to mass convert it and claim the history lol.
Great discussion. God Bless you all!
