Nozibele Phylis Mali is known Fatima

It is an ordinary working day in 1995. Fatima, then known as Nozibele Phylis Mali, is busy working for her employer, Mehrunisa Dawood, fondly known as Mehrun Bhana, in Rylands Estate.

She is busy sweeping a room from which she can clearly hear Mehrun Bhana’s son, Shafeeq, in the lounge, revising the Quranic chapters he has memorized. Fatima is listening, spellbound. This is strange, interesting, she thinks, although she does not understand a word.

At the beginning I was outside the group when they spoke about Islam. Then the fi sabil Allah guy told me to come. And then he invited me to come to the mosque to discover a little about religion, and I came and I started being interested like that.
Then I decided to come back and to pray, to ask lot of people about Islam and I was more involved in this religion.
I would say that I was very interested because I didn’t know anything. It was surprising to see people for example fasting and not to eat anything (during the day) for one month.
I was wondering how they are able to do that. And for example in Ramadan and even different manifestations about Islam after Ramadan, such as Eid and everything like that, it was amazing.

What drove me to convert to Islam was when I read the Quran

I would say that Islam gives people the peace they need to deal with the crazy things in society, the stress of life and any personal problems you have. Islam helps with that.
