Explaining Convertitis
بِسۡمِ ٱللهِ ٱلرَّحۡمَـٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ
Shaykh
‘Abd al-Hakim Murad Timothy John Winter, explaining convertitis, said, “The
initial and quite understandable response of many newcomers is to become an
absolutist. Everything going on among
pious Muslims is angelic; everything outside the circle of faith is
demonic. The appeal of this outlook lies
in its simplicity. The newly arranged
landscape on which the convert looks is seen in satisfying black and white
terms of ‘Them’ versus ‘Us’, good against evil.”
