In the middle of his brilliant career, Jake Henty decided to change his religion from Christianity to Islam. In Da Bridge podcastJake tells his story of becoming a convert to Islam starting from listening to Islamic motivational videos.


“I listened to a lot of motivational videos and suddenly a lot of Islamic motivational videos appeared, and I started listening to them,” said Jake Henty.

Jake Henty then became interested in finding out more about Islam. He eventually learned that Islam only believes in one God.

“It makes sense to worship one God,” he said.

After studying Islam, Jake was convinced that he would be a convert. In addition, all this time he has lived his life according to Islamic rules, such as not eating pork and not drinking alcohol.

Jake Henty recited two sentences of the shahada under the guidance of Imam Shakeel Begg at the Lewisham Islamic Center (LIC), London, England.

After his conversion, Jake felt that his life had become easier. He has also received a lot of love and support since becoming a Muslim.

Despite this, he still had several trials, one of which was losing his patron a few months after converting to Islam. Jake was also ostracized by his family because of his different religion.

His family began to accept Jake’s decision after worshiping him and becoming a better person.

“Islam is like a personal advisor. You have many problems that can be solved by reading the Koran,” he concluded.
