Muslim feminist, Dr. Susan Carland, 40, converted to Islam from Christianity at age 19, despite admittedly once viewing the religion as 'barbaric, outdated and sexist.'
In honour of Ramadan, the wife of The Project's Waleed Aly shared an Instagram post on Wednesday which revealed the surprising link between Christianity and Islam.
She shared a list of prophets who appear in both the holy Bible and the Quran.

'The first prophet of Islam is Adam - yup (sic), the same one in the Bible,' Susan wrote in the thought-provoking post.
'Muslims also believe in Noah, Moses, David, Solomon, Jonah, John, and many other biblical prophets, and their stories appear in the Qur'an.'
She added the hashtag: '#ThingsYouMayNotKnowAboutIslam.'
In 2016, Melbourne-born Susan recalled the life-changing moment she began to question her Christian faith at age 17.

'Was it because I genuinely believed it to be true or was it because it was what I was raised to believe?' she told The Australian Women's Weekly.
She decided to research other religions and did not immediately connect with Islam.
'I thought, why would anyone want to be part of a barbaric, outdated, sexist religion?' she said candidly.
