In this episode, Sarah shares her remarkable journey—from growing up in Germany to finding faith, belonging, and a new sense of purpose in Dubai.
Raised in a Christian Catholic family, Sarah always believed in God but never felt fully connected to the church. Her life took an unexpected turn during a difficult period.
What happened next changed her life.
After experiencing what she describes as a powerful sign, a dream that felt like a light guiding her forward, Sarah made the decision to convert to Islam. Three years ago, in February, she officially embraced Islam alongside her son, marking the beginning of a deeply personal spiritual journey.
Today, Sarah describes Dubai as the place she truly calls home. Through learning Arabic, understanding local traditions, and building close friendships, she found a strong sense of community rooted in values she deeply believes in: family, respect, hope, and faith in Allah.
In this conversation, Sarah also addresses common misconceptions about Islam and shares how some people in Europe reacted with fear or misunderstanding when they learned about her conversion. She encourages others to learn directly from people and cultures instead of relying on stereotypes or misinformation online.
Beyond her spiritual journey, Sarah’s life story is extraordinary. At 56, she remains energetic and positive, drawing on her past experience as a police officer, sniper, and rescue worker in Germany and Switzerland. Speaking seven languages, she connects easily with people from many cultures and actively volunteers with organizations such as Dubai Police and Sharjah Police, giving back to the community, especially during Ramadan.
For Sarah, the message is simple: believe in God, belive in yourself, and remember that humanity is connected beyond language, culture, or background.
This is a story about faith, resilience, and finding home.
