Melissa Matos, converted to Islam, sometimes feel alienated from her family and friends but she has substantial reasons for embracing Islam. If asked, she would go back to the seventh- century of Arabia, where it was believed that Prophet received Holy Quran from angel Gabriel. Or she might talk about the Islam’s golden period in the medieval Spain. Or she will discuss about September 11, 2001, the Black Day in US history.

Melissa is not the only one, there are many more like her, who embraced Islam in search of peace. Though The Hispanic women constitute to a very small proportion of the nation’s Muslim women but there are many who are converting to Islam.
