My Story:
by Mr. Soner Uguz

Dear Webmaster [www.aaiil.org],

As-salamualeykum, My name is Soner Uguz am Turkish my story is as follows:

Over the years I have been studying Islam since I was 9 and I studied the Holy Quran over and over again from various translations in English and Turkish and I even learned Arabic which enabled me to read the Holy Quran in its very language I was so excited when I learned Arabic it took me about 3 months to learn with the help of some close friends and scholars who live close by, I found out about Hazrat Mirza Ghulam Ahmad Sahib by reading about him from some booklets which aimed at refuting Qadiani beliefs, The Booklet stated the doctrines held by the Qadiani and it said in brackets the Ahmadi Movement so I thought it was one and the same, and I read about all the allegations against Mirza Ghulam Ahmad with a broad mind, I talked to my friends about it and they said he was one of the 30 dajjals that are to come before the Big Dajjal, I had read in many hadith books about the coming of Jesus Christ but I kept asking myself, "Then where is he the time is Now he should have come by now" The local Imam told me that we should not worry about these issues but I knew inside that he was wrong, for I studied history clearly and found that the best time for his coming surely was none other than the late 19th century, for it was a time where Muslims were in deep need in Religious Wisdom and then I found the following website www.muslim.org I read the many articles about these issues on the website and I though "Praise be to ALLAH forever I found the facts" but I was not still sure if all was true, I took a vacation to TURKEY and I pondered this issue over and over again in the Mosques and I visited many book stores and bought a dozen books that dwelt on many matters in Islam, but the Book that dwelt with the Issue about Jesus and Dajjal was a book named "Masih Dajjal" by a Turkish scholar most of his claims were absurd and against logic, he wrote in one place in his book that small dajjals have appeared after the death of the Holy Prophet but then he writes that most of them repented and became sincere Muslims, I thought "How can he say in his book that those who recanted and repented of their sins and became sincere Muslims be called "Dajjals" when I came back from Turkey after a few weeks I contacted www.muslim.org by E-mail and asked if they can send me some books about Hazrat Mirza Ghulam Ahmad Sahib and books by Maulana Muhammad Ali and books about Jesus and the books arrived after a week and then I began to read and learn the facts and I realised that all that was written in is true I read most of the books over and over again and I still do because the more I read the stronger my faith grew, I accepted Mirza Ghulam Ahmad's claims after reading without a shadow of a doubt I researched the Hadith collections and the Holy Quran and it was all accurate, the thing that amazed me is this that the Holy Quran translations I have always said for 3:55 of the Holy Quran that it meant Jesus being taken up to heaven, I opened up my Turkish Koran and it says that Allah caused Him to die, that was amazing for me and I debated and still continue to debate against those Muslims who try to defame the Promised Messiah, My friends think that I am deluded by a seditious man's writings but when I presented my arguments to them they have no comment, some try to twist the words and try to make the so-called orthodox view supreme but they have no answer to my arguments till this day, At present I am trying to refute the myth about Abrogation and am trying to answer the allegations against Mirza Ghulam Ahmad, so I contacted My brothers here on www.aaiil.org and informed them that I want to join the Movement, I had prior to this a month and a half ago told about my intention to www.muslim.org they said they would send me the pledge form so I waited and waited and I decided let me just contact www.aaiil.org and ask them and ALLAH willing I will be able to join as soon as possible and Thanks to ALLAH my prayer has been answered, and now with the wisdom that I have learned form the books I have been able to refute Christian allegations against Islam also, I feel great joy in being able to join the blessed Ahmadiyyah Anjuman Isha'at Islam Movement for I know that truth is surely here, and May ALLAH bless and support this Movement forever so that we may be able to propagate and defend the true religion Islam, I am happy in being able to join this Movement, some ask me the questions about "How is Mirza Ghulam Ahmad Sahib like Jesus" and since I have the proof of the Holy Quran and Hadith and even Fiqh I show them and since I know about Sufism also and I thus explain it to them in both concepts, and I ask them to ponder on the matter but unfortunately they still oppose the Movement , May ALLAH guide them to that which is right.. Ameen so this is my story in brief, May ALLAH bless you and thank you very much for taking the time to read.
