Ish of Arabia (Ismail Youssef) is the ex-Muslim turned Catholic evangelist who left Islam after just 5 days of reading Muhammad’s life — from Quran memorization in Egypt to a Holy Spirit encounter that changed everything. Raised Muslim in Egypt until 15, disillusioned by ISIS quoting authentic texts, he exited Islam at 16, faced doubt and sin, then converted to Catholicism on October 7, 2018, after feeling God’s love burst into his life at a Thanksgiving dinner.

In this powerful episode of Istoryang Katoliko, Ish shares his raw testimony: the cracks in Islam from ISIS actions, why he realized his morals surpassed Muhammad’s, the fear that anger could turn deadly, his supernatural conversion moment, the contrast between fear-based Islam and love-based Christianity, spiritual freedom in confession, Muslim vs. Christian worldviews, the Lepanto miracle and Our Lady of the Rosary, and advice for new converts to grow humbly with a spiritual director.
Ish says:

“When I read the life of Muhammad... by that Friday I left Islam. It took me five days to conclude this religion can’t be from God.”

We discussed: childhood in Egypt, Charlie Hebdo reaction, reading the Hadith honestly, the joy he saw in Catholics, the Holy Spirit igniting his heart, family reactions, why Islam lacks sanctification, demons and God in Islam vs. Christianity, his upcoming book Thirst for a Life-Giving Water, and reaching Muslims with Christ’s love.

If you’ve ever questioned Islam’s teachings, wondered about quick conversions, struggled with family faith differences, or wanted to understand why Christianity brings true freedom — this episode will shock you with hidden truths, move you with a real Holy Spirit encounter, and inspire you to pray boldly for others.
