I got sucked into the new age atheist religion. The fact that I couldn’t prove God empirically, stumped me as a kid and made Islam seem like a blind faith religion to my young and impressionable mind. They told me that religion was a tool of mass control and indoctrination with no evidence. I blindly followed their religion of naturalism over our religion of truth. However, when I dared to actually picked up the Quran, that we can prove has never been changed. I saw all the proof that a logical and rational mind needed to accept the truth.
May Allah shower you all with his mercy, knowledge, and guidance. If I can’t meet you all in this life, then inshAllah we’ll continue this discussion in the afterlife. Please keep my family and I in your Dua and ask Allah to bring us closer to him.
Ameen!
For the Ummah and beyond. Ameen.
I subscribe to your channel brother
Amin

"And He found you lost and guided [you],"
(Ad-Dhuhaa 93: 7)
When we are born Muslim, we are not taught explanations why we pray or do certain things therefore don’t take it seriously. Hamdillah I renewed my faith. The best thing ever happened in my life.
We have all the resources. If one has doubts, they should search for the truth instead of taking the easy route.
This is a major problem that needs to be corrected for the sake of Islam and our future generations
Same here. Born Muslim who reverted back after years of other side, I'm much more closer to my faith than ever been. Actually go out to research my faith and ignore my cultural islamic teaching, now I take straight from Quran
@@tggchat Learning the Seerah also made a great impact understanding Islam and improving my character.
*BELIEF IN OUR CREATOR IS NATURAL AND INSTINCTIVE.*
An interesting point is that the Qur’an says that belief in a Creator is the natural state of all human beings:
“So [Prophet] as a man of pure faith, stand firm and true in your devotion to the religion. This is the natural disposition God instilled in mankind…” [30:30]
There is in fact psychological, sociological and anthropological evidence to support this notion.
*Oxford University psychologist Dr Olivera Petrovich,* an expert in psychology of religion, conducted some studies concerning the psychology of the human being and God’s existence.
*She discovered that infants are hard-wired to believe in God, and atheism has to be learned.*
(Infants ‘have natural belief in God’, The Age National (Australia). Accessed7th February 2015:)
Some scientists today argue that *belief in God* or a higher power is *hardwired into our genes.*
{Dean H. Hamer, The God Gene: How Faith Is Hardwired into Our Genes. (New York: Doubleday, 2004), 6.}
*Professor Justin Barrett did some research* by looking at the behaviour and claims of children. He concluded that the children believed in what he calls *“natural religion”.* This is the idea that there is a personal being that created the entire universe. That ‘being’ cannot be human - it must be divine, supernatural:
"Scientific research on children’s developing minds and supernatural beliefs suggests that children normally and rapidly acquire minds that facilitate belief in supernatural agents… Not long after their first birthday, babies appear to understand that agents, but not natural forces or ordinary objects, can create order out of disorder… Who is the Creator? Children know people are not good candidates. It must have been a god… *children are born believers of what I call natural religion* …"
(Justin L. Barrett, Born Believers: The Science of Children’s Religious Belief, Free Press, 2012, pp. 35 - 36.)
I used to watch his channel back in 2016ish when he made VR videos (I was a teenager at the time, I’m now an adult). I was an atheist, never grew up religious. I stopped watching him after a couple years and then I went through my ‘spiritual’ phase - I’d get his channel pop up on my recommendations since I’ve always been subscribed to him and I noticed he too was also going through a similar spiritual phase. My spiritual phase then led to an immense fear of death and I became very nihilistic. Soon after I met a Muslim who taught me so much about islam. As I was learning about islam I then got Lucids ‘I reverted to Islam’ video pop up, lol. It’s like I’ve been on a similar journey to his on the same timeline.
I’ve now reverted (after learning about Islam for a year) and took my shahada at the start of this year (Alhamdulillah♥️) .
It’s really cool to see someone I grew up watching also become a Muslim. Even though I’ve never spoken to or met him, it now feels like I have because of Islam. It’s a small world moment for sure hahah!
MashaAllah sister!! May Allah S.W.T keep blessing you❤❤
@@mondrella627 thank you
Subhanallah
@@iamLucid So proud of how far you’ve come Lucid, I hope you are doing well! May Allah bless you & reward you for your efforts.
Mashula your story is amazing May ullah bless u and keep us all on the straight path!
look how much damage that middle school teacher did. Now they teach homosexuality to children. A disgrace.
Exactly 💯 💯 💯
I’m sure it was a purposeful act. People who do not believe in God, for some reason, cannot stand to hear that others do. Why does it bother them so much? We don’t care if they don’t want to believe like us. I think it’s Shaytan who makes them so uncomfortable to hear that there are people who do believe in God. It is really scary how much they try to dissuade children from following their “Fitrah”(Innate belief in God) & now trying to normalize homosexuality.
“May Allah protect our children from these evil people & keep them steadfast in their faith of Islam. Ameen!!”🤲🏻
As they should. So queer kids don't feel lost and question their existence.
It’s so scary to think how many impressionable minds have been influenced by atheists and immoral teachers.
That's the point. How can I send there where my child knowingly learns homosexuality and asks me if I'm a man or woman. May almighty Allah protect all of us.
What is it with atheist teachers asking 12 year old students to prove God exists? My English teacher asked my class the same question in high school . May Allah ease their hearts and wipe away their arrogance. Lovely interview ~ May Allah reward you for all your efforts inshallah
It's bullying. Adults asking children that they're supposed to be teaching deep, high level questions that most adults can't answer in-depth without study.
Exactly my thoughts. How on earth that a teacher doctrined his students so they lose their faith towards their God. May we all are safe from any kind of fitnah in this dunya. Aamiin.
My religious teacher was obsessed with that question too as well as asking us why God allows suffering, and would look at the muslims and say ‘free will’ and ‘life is a test’ doesn’t count. Very odd
Kind of like an indirect way of brainwashing the kids, perhaps? The kind of brainwashing that forces the kids to question right from the start of their childhood that God isn't real.
So they would grow up with doubts in their minds and not follow the teachings of religion.
Or it could be that they're just mentally frustrated and depressed(atheism does that to you) in their lives and can't stand seeing others in peace.
May Allah guide those people. Ameen.
Ask him to first logically explain the creation of the universe . Ask him to first prove that there is no God . He can’t even prove of there r other creatures apart from Earth. The only best explanation is to believe that there is an all powerful one that created and sustained all the creation .
Even if you are born as a Muslim you’ll need to find Islam
May allah guide us all to the truth
Never a Colab I would have EVER imagined! May Allah preserve anyone reading this and have a blessed life.
JazakhAllah Khayr. Ameen

Subhanallah I remember some years ago I used to watch him and in a specefic video he mentioned religions and with it Islam, and he pronounced the word "islam" in the most perfect accurate arabic accent, I was shocked and thought to myself he might actually be Muslim, but the way he described his philosophies and ideology didn't sound that islamic, I came to the conclusion he might've been Muslim who's in the process of embracing other beliefs, funny thing is that I was watching that video with my friend next to me, and we both had the same thought and I jokingly said to my friend "Allah yehdih" meaning may Allah guide him, but look at him now subhanallah I'm mindblown and emotional because of how much I relate to him and because of how unexpected this is, may Allah guide us all and enter us his paradise through his love and mercy.
Subhanallah, that’s an interesting story. Ameen 🙏🏾

Allahuma Ameen Yarabal Alameen 🤲
Thank for sharing this with us, very nice. Barakallahu Feek
Aameen Ya Rabbi 😢😢😢
California-based prominent Eastern Christian Priest, Father Hilarion Heagy, has converted to Islam after renouncing Christianity.
Heagy, who has now changed his name to Said Abdul Latif, said his inclination towards Islam took place 20 years ago, but he has only recently converted to the religion.☝️❤️
Interesting❤
Mashaa Allah. But why'd he change his name? This name changing needs to stop- the Rasoul s.a.w was a Mercy to all of mankind and Islam is for all cultures and religions. People need to see Islam in their culture and changing a reverts name isn't good for that
@@user-et2ng1qb2mwell if they want to change it’s none of our business . Let them be !
@@user-et2ng1qb2m I agree. As long as the name has no connotation of shirk in it continuing with their name after reversion should be welcomed. It will be too much of a hassle to change the new names on certificates and other documents. However if they like to change their names than it is their choice.
im a revert muslimah ,
so when i took my shahada i chose the name Khadija for my Muslim name,
but my documents & valid Id still had the same name on my Birth certificate
here in the Muslim and Arab country we are living now esp. my husband & in laws they call me by my Muslim name
so its really up to you if u wanna change ur names even on your valid Id's or documents
or jusy like the same as mine
"Surely you cannot guide whom you love, but allah guides whom He pleases" Quran 28:56
Allah** guides yes...Allah 4give me firstly but let us respect Allah n the sacred as much as we can....
may b a typo..as u did use capital aytch...so may He guide n bless u n us all ..ameen
This brother has an intensity and energy that is captivating. He is determined in his mission
We appreciate hearing his story. Seems like he has great insights to share with us.
Alhamduillah may guide him to straight path to Deen of islam
Even if you are born Muslim still you need true guidance of Islam...
He's the perfect example of it👌❤️🔥
May Allah bless you more and more brother.
I saw a video he did about Islam just a couple of days ago. I like that you did this interview with him.
Felt very good listening him ❤️
Allahu Akbar.
Ayo, two of my favourite channels finally coming together. A Collab I am always in for. May Allah reward you guys Ameen.
Yeah man i was so shocked when i got the notification
I've been watching Ali (real name) for a couple of years now, and for the last year or so I knew he was secretly Muslim. Alhamdulillah, I'm so proud of him. May Allah make all of our hearts firm on the straight path. Ameen.
"Or were they created by nothing, or are they ˹their own˺ creators? (25) Or did they create the heavens and the earth? In fact, they are not certain (26)" Quran 52:25-26
In your comment this ayats Quran 52:35-36 so surah Tur, 35th and 36th ayats
Brought 😢tears to my eyes 👀.. The moment you say.. Shahada after chest compression...
My mom always says.. Everyone has a journey to Islam whether it's a Christian Hindu Muslim etc...this journey is hardest for Muslims
she is so right !
It is
Another excellent interview ! Many thanks to Toward Eternity team for their time and efforts. It was a very inspiring speech by Alex and big congratulations for your great decision about re-ambracing Islam and for the religion base activities . May ALLAHcc reward you all with his heaven !
Alhumdullilah. So glad Allah chose you to be among the guided as He has promised any who reflect with courage and integrity. May we all diverse ones coexist harmoniously, In’sha’Allah.
A man and his love can change the world🌍🌏🌐. Thanks for your contributions
This is a necessary video for people that were born into muslim family but lost faith along the way. I'm pretty sure many of us had crisis of faith at some point of our life. That's why reading Quran is necessary. That's why gaining knowledge is a must for Muslims cause ignorance breeds unfaithfulness. Alhamdulillah when Muslims starts reading and researching, they find their way back to Allah SWT. This is also a reminder that just because you're a born Muslim doesn't mean you don't have to find Islam. Just like non Muslims who reverted to Islam, Muslims have to find their way to Allah SWT.
The one who are born muslim is blessed to have Islam and live his/her life in Its nature
But the revert one finds Islam and knows Its value❤
And whether ye hide your word or publish it, He certainly has (full) knowledge, of the secrets of (all) hearts.
Yeah!!😇❤
Reminded me of my childhood. I used to feel physically sick when had to go for my Quran lessons. Now I can't think of living a day without Quran, AlhamdulilAllah. That's why there shouldn't be any compulsion in the religion.
This is coming from a born Muslim.
Islam, or religion, in particular, is never something that can be forced upon anyone, and shouldn’t be. There are some born Muslim families who actually are very strict with religious stuff, but Iman is not something that can be imposed with force upon someone. It has to come from with in ones heart, and that is a fundamental aspect of Iman. Without believing it from the bottom of one's heart, they cannot be a true Muslim. Families should explain from the start the concept and true meaning of Islam instead of just imposing it on the next generation.
Parents do love their kids. They plant the seeds and nurtured them. What becomes of those seeds growing into something else, is not within their knowledge. The knowledge is with Allah.
Alhamdulillah ❤️ Wallahi being a Muslim is the greatest blessing, honour an success you can ever achieve in this temporary life ❤️ ALLAH is the king of all kings
I totally agree. Coming from an orthodox Christian background (only by name truly we were just atheists) when I converted to Islam my father was disgraced and my mother didn’t care. The funny part is they weren’t happy or supportive of this decision, but when I buy a new car or clothes or something just as useless they appear very “happy”… I don’t like the world we live in today, being so materialistic minded, connecting with Islam, submitting to Allah was truly the greatest thing I’ve ever experienced.
They can have satan’s pleasures of this world, I want what Allah bestows for me in the next world, that is if I am worthy.
Allhamdullilah
@@BudgetGainsByJJ mashallah my brother/sister u are always welcome in our religion, u made the right decision. May allah (SWT) guide u to the right path 😊
The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, “No man purifies himself, and does it thoroughly, then goes to the masjid, except that Allah records a good deed for him for every step he takes, raises him a degree for it, and wipes away a sin from him for it” (Muslim).
From Lucid's early VR days to whereh e is now, i've never felt so proud and so awe struck of some one else's journey into Islam, he really is an inspiration for me and it felt so nice seeing other people I watched on youtube, grow into and learn about Islam just as I was doing at the same time.
did you become a muslim, brother/sister? :) and do you have any questions and doubts about islam? :) if so, just hit me up!
He has such a kind demeanor, masha'Allah.
Mashallah he's very smart and well spoken. Guys I need a husband like him.
😁
Allah heard you. InsyaAllah He will give you more.
Ask Allah, He's The All-Hearing, The Answerer of Doas. We can't give you one but we can doa for you.

No ads on this channel. Phenomenal
Heart-touching content. I do appreciate for bringing such videos.
Alhamdulillah...this brother is intelligent
LUCID! I found out about him from NoFap videos. I realized many of his beliefs aligns with Islam, so I was hoping that he becomes Muslim. Knowing that he reverted made me happy. Alhamdulillah.
Mashallah tbarakallah💯
Love and respect from Pakistan🇵🇰
This stories are amazing, I can’t stop shouting Alhamdulillah while watching. Thank you Allah for ☪️ Islam, may Allah grant us peace of mind ❤️❤️❤️❤️
What I found very interesting in your life story is the fact that you started by just following everyone into the religion without really believing in it. And it's only when you actually started to believe in your religion, when you actually understood what you were believing in and why you were believing it, that you became happy. I think even for non religious people, this is very inspiring because many people are agnostic because they just don't have time to ask these questions to themselves. But I personally am an agnostic because I thought a long time, asked me existential questions, and finally I found who I really am. That's what everyone, religious or not, should keep from this video i think.
I hope you see the end goal wasn’t happiness but it was finding truth from our creator.
Ameen it is in seeking the truth that you find it! It us almost as if Allah taala sees you notices u and guides you to the ultimate truth! Alhamdulilah
Man these confusing mind boggling questions growing up really hit hard, used to do the same when i was younger. The believe in Allah and his revelation really lifts that burden from our shoulders. والحمد لله على كل حال.
These excessive questions in the mind can really destroy a person.
11:21 That is one Lucid moment right there. Alhamdullillah!
I can relate a bit to him, i went to weekend islamic lessons and i HATED the teachers and it made me NOT want to be a muslim. Hamdoulillah now its the opposite i pray, i wear hijab, i want to do a lot of good things for Allah!
This Channels is simply amazing. Enlightens those with curiosity with a sincere heart. Also revive the faith of those whom already follow Islam. May Allah continue to open doors to those curious of Islam. If you know it’s true don’t wait! We all have a time appointed and no one knows when their time will end !
Asalamu alaikum
Mashallah

Less go! Big bro is here 🔥

Only Allah swt knows how curiously I wait for these videos. They just boost up my Imaan. May Allah swt keep our revert brothers and sisters safe ❤❤

I am going to share this with my kids on our family page, they are 8 hours out of 24 on UA-cam, thank you beautiful brother because what you had gone through in your life before you read the book of Quran is exactly what is happening to our kids nowadays, and even i grow up like that, but I found myself searching ahead and still reading more to educate myself, I pray that Allah swt give us all the ability to find out more about his beautiful religion and repent before it’s too late🤲🏻

"Towards Eternity" is one of my favorite channels of 2023. There is so much to learn. May Allah bless you. Thank you from Japan.
are you a Japanese native muslim?
SubhabAllah brother, your way of explaining things is so beautiful MaShaAllah especially how you've talked about Islam here. May Allah swt reward you lots for the decisions you're taking in becoming closer to Allah. May Allah swt forgive all of us also ameen y raab.
One of my fav stories from this channel MashAllah! I can really share with the science and logic he talked about...that really helped in strengthening my belief during University over 20 years ago.
Listening to you was like listening to a 100 most wise men....each and every word hit me hard, May Allah Subhan e Tala give you best of the both worlds.....Ameen Sum Ameen
Mashallah Tabarka Allah God bless you ❤
Subhanallah He truly sounds like a teenager who ignored all these. And when he left his ego and started looking to the universe he found the truth by himself
Thank you for posting that video

Allahumma Barik , may Allah increase your Iman and Knowledge my Brother
I hope this channel can stay as the best islamic entertainment (& education) channel on this platform
Masha Allah 21 y old and so good understanding, thank you for your good words dear brother
Mashallah! May Allah bless you ... Indeed correct intellect leads to the truth!
ayee nice surprise to see lucid here
It is so comforting. All reverts have the same stories. Anyone who has brains will find Islam once they look for it and may Allah guide them. I am a revert too. I looked for answers and I found Islam and it has been my true guiding light ever since. Since I reverted my challenges have been harder and my calmness throughout the storm, was unbelievable. If it was me back then, I would have fallen into a major depression. But Islam, the belief that there is an All Knowing, All Powerful God, Allah, who sees my pain, my suffering has kept me courageous and hopeful, knowing that there is a reward waiting for me. My sins forgiven, Insha Allah. this world is not our place to stay and that a world beyond what we could imagine is waiting for us. Free of all the miseries. This world is our ground to test our faith and keeping our faith in Allah as we experience turmoils is our ticket to His mercy.
I agree Islam keeps you out of trouble literally. It keeps you well oriented. Pure. It is not easy as we’re all humans but there is peace knowing that pleasing Allah is the way to go. That all this hardship we go through means something and it will not go unrewarded.
There is only one God and Prophet Muhammad is His last Prophet.
May you all find peace in remembrance of Allah.
MashaAllah. May Allah Ta'ala bless you immensely and keep you steadfast on the religion of Islam
Masha’Allah. Beautiful story.
Alhamdulillah may keep istiqomah ,and may Allah reunite all of us in jannah
Loved the intro! Mash Allah
MashaAllah brother, welcome back to Islam, may Allah bless and reward you greatly in this life and in the hereafter.
Mashallah this channel is a great iman booster!
Amazing video, amazing person.
May Allah bless us all and grand us the Firdaws.
I feel so emotional watching videos of your channel. Feeling proud as a Muslim. I love Allah and Muhammad Sallahahu walihi wa sallam.
Bro using Quantum to feel the presence of Allah, MasyaAllah, I really like it I really liked physics theory, quantum, thermo, dimension, etc. too, and ofc that makes my iman stronger, really thanks you make me remember that again, cuz now I need to focus for my colleague that not related to physics like I was
Allahumma barik. Such a nice interview! very inspirational and motivating. Jazak Allahu khairan brother.
Salamu alikum brother, welcome back to the right path. Living in a melting pot society, it has its pros and cons. I believe most of us get confused due to our differences, and our parents are not fully aware of it. We struggle outside, yet they won't be able to feel us enough as to what is going on with our minds. We struggle and grow with two different worlds. When we are way too young, we don't realize it as much until we find ourselves. You found yourself, and you got strong, my brother congrats! Please keep up the good work. There are so many kids in need of our help. If you can, make videos to help them keep their minds clear. It will be a great help and rewarding deeds. I am sharing my ideas to help each other. Best of wishes and Allah bless 🤲.
you said it perfectly, being born and raised in america had me so confused with all these different ideologies and different ways of thinking. it was overwhelming to say the least and i didnt rlly know what to believe. but now that im grown up and seen the differences between the ideologies i see now that nothing makes sense except for islam. the more i learned about islam the more that faith grew in my heart. i didnt even know that we believed in the original torah and gospel (but now its lost or corrupted) which to me this sealed the deal for me as it answered my question of "if islam is true then where did christianity and judaism come from?"
