Assalamu alaykum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuhu. Dear brother Bassam Zawadi, your brother from Russia is writing to you. I apologize if my English is not the best; I initially wrote the text in Russian and relied on neural networks for the translation, but I hope that my message will be understood overall.

I want to sincerely thank you for your magnificent website, Call to Monotheism. In 2017-2018, I started experiencing some mental health issues, specifically severe obsessive-compulsive disorder, which led me to have doubts about Islam, despite being a Muslim since childhood. I began visiting various missionary resources and online communities, where I encountered numerous doubts. I even started delving into English-language resources, although I didn't have a strong command of the language. The automatic Google Translate on my phone worked wonders. I came across all sorts of nonsense supposedly "refuting" our religion. I was very close to leaving Islam, and I believe I may have even left temporarily, as I stopped praying during that time, which is a conscious act of disbelief (kufr). But Allah knows best about the state I was in, whether I was truly an apostate or not. The important thing is that, by the grace of the Almighty, I returned to this beautiful religion.

Your remarkable website played a significant role in this. It provides brilliant responses to missionary deceivers on a wide range of topics. Despite the site appearing inactive for ten years, it contains such valuable material and brilliantly written texts that practically dispel all doubts raised by Christians. Additionally, there were excellent articles refuting Quranists and addressing other topics. It's simply marvelous. I particularly enjoyed the rebuttals to Shamoun, which are true gems. Every time I read them, I can't help but laugh at the sheer stupidity of Sam's "arguments" - https://www.call-to-monotheism.com/rebuttal_to_sam_shamoun_s_article__did_the_polytheists_believe_that_allah_was_the_supreme_being_or_did_they_view_him_as_one_of_many_rival_gods__.

Your charisma and approach to discussions have greatly inspired me. You dismantle doubts from both a Shariah and purely logical perspective, which also appealed to and convinced me. Since then, I have never doubted Islam and have become more committed to practicing it. I am currently trying to memorize the Quran. Sometimes, I visit Call to Monotheism and reread certain articles and rebuttals. Recently, I discovered your blog and now I read your posts here. I also watch videos with your participation on Blogging Theology and other platforms. Although my English is not perfect, I still understand something, and your charisma, speech, and character greatly motivate me.

May Allah reward you and your family with eternal heavenly blessings in Firdaus, dear brother Bassam Zawadi! Please continue in the same spirit, and may Allah strengthen you. I have always dreamt of meeting you in person if the opportunity ever arises. In sha Allah, I hope to become your close friend in Paradise. Amen!
