God's guidance helps people to recognise the truth when it comes their way.
The majority reject it and the minority embrace it. But what's little known is that there's a 3rd group who accept it, but then hold back from embracing it because of confusions or concerns.
This group needs the help of people who embraced Islam before them. And if you are a convert to Islam, this is your chance to help them.
Each month, ~30,000 searches take place on Google for terms like "how to convert to Islam". This doesn't mean that they’re ready to convert. It just means that thoughts are crossing their minds.
Through overcome.tv, we attract and nurture them using testimonials given by people like you. Your job is to share yours with us. It's an easy process and, with just 1 hour of your time, we'll produce a video like this:
We plan trips to cities when enough of you volunteer.
When our trip is planned, you can select a convenient date/time.
Just turn up at your scheduled time.
It’s casual, fun and all you do is answer questions (see below).
Every volunteer loves the experience and, insha-Allah, so will you!
We make your experience as relaxed as possible. We enjoy our work a great deal and we're certain that you'll enjoy it too.
You'll be chatting... not giving a speech! And because we edit the videos professionally, you can start, stop & restart as many times as you like.
Although there's nothing to prepare, you may feel more comfortable knowing what we’ll ask during the interview...
"I reverted 5 years ago and have been making da'wah by doing my best to follow the sunnah of Muhammad (saaws). About ten days ago, after casually sharing one of your videos with my beloved wife of 18 years, she utterly surprised me and announced she wanted to take her shahadah! Alhamdulilah! I made some arrangements and she took it the next day." ~ Mark (America)
"Ma sha Allah, I was so overwhelmed to hear that a woman thousands of miles away in America embraced Islam after watching my story. Really, I can't express the happiness in my heart." ~ Maribel de Leon (Philippines)
"I do have to thank you very much again for everything. You don't how much you have changed my life."~ Chantal (Canada)
"Watching the videos really inspired me. I realised that I wasn't alone and got the courage to convert." ~ Linda (London)
"Before, I was 70% of the way there... but overcome.tv took me to 100% and I made my shahadah." ~ Olivia (Dubai)
About 30-60 minutes.
Sure! Bring more if it makes you feel more comfortable!
You'll be chatting with a person and can ignore the tiny camera.
Let us know and we can help you do a written version instead.
No problem. We're not obsessed with "amazing stories". Our focus is on presenting you in a way that people like you can relate to.
No problem. Hearing that other people didn't share the same concerns can often make them question their own concerns.
Nope! This project focuses on "pure" converts.
Nope! But if you bring one with you, we'll ask the questions and you can answer them towards her.
