Pakistanis took to social media on Thursday to congratulate Canadian traveler Rosie Gabrielle after she wrote a note explaining that she accepted Islam after spending a year in Pakistan.
Twitter users were quick to appreciate the traveller for highlighting a positive and peaceful image of Pakistan and showered love on her for showing the beauty of the religion.
Gabrielle wrote an extensive note her Instagram, announcing that after visits to Muslim countries like Pakistan, the solo motorcyclist had converted to Islam.
The vlogger, who toured the countries on a motorbike, said her experiences in the Muslim-majority countries brought her closer to Islam.
From a young child, I’ve always had a unique connection with creation and special relationship to God," she wrote.
"Never resonating with what I was brought up with, I denounced my religion 4 years ago, going down a deep path of spiritual discovery. exploration of self, and the great Divine. I never let go the sight of the Creator, in fact, my curiosity and connection only grew stronger.
"For me, I was already technically a “Muslim”. My Shahada was basically a re-dedication of my life to the path of Oneness, connection and Peace through the devotion of God," she added.
Former Pakistani actor Hamza Ali Abbasi, who left his profession because of religious reasons, said "Masha Allah... May God give you strength, contentment & bless you in this temporary life & the coming eternal life & make you one of those who make ppl aware of the fact tht one day, very soon, we will all stand accountable for our deeds on the Day of Judgement."
Pakistani actress Veena Malik also congratulated the traveller for her decision and said welcomed her "to the Religion of Peace".
