Abu Bakr in the video is a charming and disarming speaker. He is very skilled at communication and able to help educate about Islam while making you laugh.
Whether you are Muslim or just interested in how people revert to Islam, watch and smile.
Ha ha! This guy is great! It was videos like this that inspired me to seek out for information about Islam, mashallah. I swear, wouldnt you just love to sit down and have a cup of tea with him? I love people who smile so much, who seem genuinely warm inside.
