A young Christian living in London has converted to Islam in a virtual meeting attended by religious experts of the Office for Foreign Pilgrims’ Affairs of Imam Redha Holy Shrine.

Declaring his faith and his motive, Ali Moore said: “I was introduced to Islam via my Muslim friends at the university, and I was keen to research more about this religion.” 

He stated that after studying different religions, he found Islam a complete religion compared to others, including Christianity, because “it answers all my questions and convinces me.”

He added: “I haven’t had a chance to travel to Iran, and I wish to visit the shrine of Imam Redha, peace be upon him, one day, and today I chose this place for this event because it has a special value among Muslims.”
