Chinese woman in Kabul embraces Islam

KABUL, June 09 (Online): A Chinese woman embraced Islam at the hands of Supreme Court Chief Justice Fazl-I-Hadi Shinwari here.

A former Buddhist, 33-year-old Jiaoxiang from the Harbin city said she had been mulling converting to Islam over the last six months. "Finally, I have become a Muslim today," she added.

After embracing Islam, the Chinese was renamed as Fatima, who also received a copy of the Holy Quran. She has been working at a confectionary shop owned by an Afghan. She termed Islam as a religion of peace, brotherhood and amity.

In addition to Fatima, two Indians, an Italian and a British national in Kabul have embraced Islam during the last one year.

End.
