If you had not been born in a Muslim home

Interesting question Shakeela

Ok, this is probably not going to be the popular answer, but…had I not been born into a Muslim home, I don’t know if I would be Muslim or not…What if I had born into a Hasidic Jewish family in some insulated corner neighborhood..what are the chances that I’d be exposed to Islam?

Or what if I was born to total atheist parents who lived on a commune in the Mojave desert?

I don’t know that anyone can say for sure…I can just be thankful for the life that I DO have

Why would that be an unpopular answer? In the scenarios you have described the kid would have had Zero access to information about Islam. So obviously you could not have converted then.

Having said that, this is a hypothetical question and I agree with khatti: Be thankful for the life you DO have.
