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Carland, 40, converted to Islam from Christianity at age 19, despite admittedly once viewing the religion as 'barbaric, outdated and sexist.'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. Surprising link: In honour of Ramadan, Dr Susan Carland, the wife of The Project's Waleed Aly, revealed the link between Christianity and Islam on Wednesday. Pictured at the Australian High Commission's Buka Puasa (breaking of the fast dinner) in 2014 '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. Fun fact: She shared a list of prophets who appear in both the holy Bible and the Quran '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 'I thought, why would anyone want to be part of a barbaric, outdated, sexist religion?'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.

According to Facebook, this year's mosque open day at Benevolence was designed 'to provide a space for the Muslim community to gather together in this time of grief, and offer an opportunity for the wider community to engage in conversation on anything of topical interest, including themes of faith and contemporary issues, to unite and strengthen our shared humanity.' Susan previously shared her views on body image during a discussion about the hijab. 'There are some women who say [wearing the hijab] is a feminist statement,' she told Meshel Laurie on The Nitty Gritty Committee podcast. 'In a society where women's bodies are used to sell everything from toothpaste to cars, [for those women] covering [their] body is about… saying, 'I'll decide who sees my body'.' She continued: 'And what parts they get to see by wearing a hijab and covering my body, I'm choosing to not have my body commodified in that way.'
