He described the experience as emotionally demanding, noting that he required time, patience and support of Islamic academics and devout people who advised him on the appropriate approach.

This stable and compassionate approach, said, finally helped her to better understand faith and led to acceptance.
When asked if it was difficult to convince her to convert to Islam, he said: “Yes, a little. On the other hand, he was receiving lessons from religious leaders. And the people who are interested in religion. So there is a way they were teaching me about how to convince her.” Go with her slowly, teach this and that, tell her this and that. “So I took some time, she later understood.”
