The Journey to Islam, Family, Creativity & Purpose
HAPPY THURSDAY COUSINS!!!!!!!We have an incredible episode for you this week with a very special guest, Cornell Jones! 🙌🏽 This one is inspiring, emotional, and powerful from start to finish. Cornell shares how he first discovered Cousin Connection, how he learned about Islam, and the beautiful (and sometimes challenging) journey that led him to revert.We dive into everything from introducing Islam to your kids, to the responsibility that comes with being a Muslim creator, to the hesitations and misconceptions he had before converting. Cornell opens up about what reverting felt like, how Umrah changed his life forever, and what it was like telling his family he’s Muslim.There are so many gems in this conversation; giving dawah to non-Muslim family, getting married after two months (yes...TWO!), and the exciting projects he’s working on including a book and clothing brand. We even talk about how the hijab inspired him in ways he never expected.Grab your snacks, go for a drive, start your chores...whatever your Thursday ritual is, and tune in for a deep, heartfelt, and uplifting episode with the cousins.Thank you all for the love, support, and beautiful messages every week.WE LOVE YALL ❤️Amir & SaraFollow us on Instagram:Cornell Jones - @seedsof.ilm@cousinconnectionpod - https://bit.ly/3n1QPk9AMIR - https://bit.ly/3HDFXAISARA - https://bit.ly/3zv1J6ZFollow us on:Tiktok | https://bit.ly/32PtwmKApple Podcasts | https://apple.co/3yW9RvpSpotify | https://spoti.fi/3C8l1PJand every other streaming service, search 'Cousin Connection Podcast'-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------📌 Timestamps:0:00 -- COLD OPEN1:40 -- How did Cornell Jones discover Cousin Connection3:44 -- How Cornell heard about Islam13:56 -- Introducing Islam to your kids18:33 -- The responsibility of being a Muslim creator21:13 -- The journey to Islam30:39 -- What made you hesitate to convert31:58 -- Did you think Muslims were perfect?39:01 -- The feeling of reverting to Islam46:53 -- How Umrah changed his life54:32 -- Telling your family that you are a Muslim1:08:04 -- Giving dawah to non-Muslim family1:15:31 -- Getting married after 2 months1:33:37 -- Writing a book and developing a clothing brand1:36:30 -- How the Hijab inspired Cornell1:39:10 -- FINAL THOUGHTSAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
