Hawzah News Agency –Ms. Veronica (Maryam Fazeli), German lady who has recently converted to Islam made some remarks on the importance of preserving core Islamic values including hijab during her visit to Yazd city of Iran.
During the meeting with a group of university students in the city of Yazd on Monday, which was organized by the Representation of Iranian Supreme Leader in the Islamic Azad University, Ms. Veronica highlighted the principles of Islam and went on to elaborate on ways to convert to Islam. She added, I spend 30 years of my life in a secular country and I always thought to myself, this cannot be the wisdom of life, how can one continue to live without any spiritual model or source of guidance.
This German Muslim convert further stated, I know the sweetest moment of my life is when I sit next to the Shia people in the holy shrine of lady Masuma (AS) or the shrines of other figures of Ahl al-Bayt (AS); God has bestowed upon me the opportunity to mourn for the innocence of holy Ahl al-Bayt (AS) to shed tears for the oppression that has been inflicted on them.
Veronica also emphasized that Islamic hijab is one of the best protectors for women and it’s considered as the guardian of their dignity. She pointed out, Social issues that we are face with should make us think deeply about life matters and it makes it clear to us that Islam has many adversaries who are plotting to taking advantage of people’s negligence and carelessness about Islamic values.
