I Started To Forgive Not Only Others, But Also Myself | Naoki Yamamoto | A New Person | Episode 37

The story of the Japanese convert who decided to become a Muslim with the words "Faith is not a winning point in life. It is just like a tree. It is a process that educates people"...

Naoki Yamamato, who shares his experiences on his journey that started with the influence of a book he read, also draws attention to the fact that Islam is not recognized in Japan. He gives the message that it would be beneficial to carry out studies to spread Islam by taking into account the culture of the period and the region.
