“Before this beautiful Friday is over, here’s a quick post. The last couple of months have been life-changing,” she wrote on Instagram.

“I’ve had some ups and some downs. I’ve worked the hardest I’ve ever worked and still came up short. Disconnected from ppl, I loved so much and had my life turned upside down.

“Then in a blink of an eye, it all started to make sense. Everything leads me down a path to bring me closer to Allah and find my deen,” the MMA athlete added.

“To make room for blessings, I had no idea were coming, whether they came in the forms of situations, people, or things I never expected. I’ve never felt closer to the amazing ppl in my life or with myself. Everything up to this point has been exactly what was supposed to happen and more than worth it. It’s not my timing. It’s Allah’s timing, and I fully trust in it. Good, bad, whatever,” Leibrock added.

She added that the past year was amazing for her, and she is eagerly waiting for the future to unfold.

Islam is the fastest-growing religion in the world, with the number of Muslims set to grow at more than twice the rate of the overall world population between 2015 and 2060, according to the Pew Research Center.

Earlier this year, Rodtang Jitmuangnon, the reigning ONE Championship flyweight Muay Thai champion, converted to Islam.

Also in February, Father Hilarion Heagy, a prominent Eastern Christian Priest based in California, United States, embraced Islam, according to various sources.
