ABOUT AISYAH QUEK CHIN CHIN 郭臻祯

Formerly Taoist, sister Aisyah Quek grew up in a Singaporean Chinese Taoist family. As a Taoist, she followed her parents and has been to numerous temples, prayed to different gods, and kept her religious customs and practices. She was later introduced to Christianity by her uncle but found that she did not resonate with it. 

After marrying her husband (Taoist) and achieving lots of things in life, she still felt a void in her heart. She was later introduced to Islam by her postnatal massage lady, who saw her reading up on different religions. 

Curious about Islam and after attending numerous classes and learning more about it, she found that it brought her peace, answered her questions, and gave her purpose in life. 

In February 2011, sister Aisyah Quek reverted to Islam and never looked back. Currently, she is a Global HR business partner, and her favorite verse in the Qur’an is Ayatul Kursi.
