For me, I have two, techincally three. I converted to Islam and started wearing hijab, which felt and still feels great. I then had my two children. Those are experiences I will never forget, inshaAllah (God Willing). What are your experiences?

To second answerer, I am so sorry for what you went through and empathize with you. Those experiences are not easy and can leave people deeply scarred for life.

This past year has been the most life-changing for me. I moved to Morocco, met and married my soul mate and converted to Islam. Prior to this I owned a house, had the same job for 14 years, divorced a neglectful man and was living a life of intense stress, anger and loneliness. While my changes have not been easy, they have certainly brought me much happiness and peace. I have finally found my place in this world.

As the second answerer says, life-chaging expereinces could be bothe negative and positive.
So for the positive part, when I saw the program based on Harun Yahya books (www.harunyahya.com) and then I started researching more about Islam. That was when I was 10.
Then when I first wore my hijab.
Negative expereinces changed my life too. There was somebody from my family (extended) tat I trusted with my whole heart. N then one day..... they betrayed me. No, betray is not the right word. But I cant remember the right word. Anyway, even before that expereince, I was reserve and secretive. Now, I have closed myself up even more and cannot bring myself to trust anyone easily

The realization that life is long and that I'm not constricted by my actions in the past. In some eyes, I've made many mistakes in my past, specifically with drug & alcohol use. There have been various times where I could've easily given up, but eventually made the decision that I deserved more than that. It's still a work in progress that has to be dealt with on a daily basis, but deciding to get it together and try my best to do some good was the key moment.

You want a life experience which will make you feel great all your life, as a Muslim try to convince someone to convert to Islam. I did, and I still feel really good. Do you know that Allah gives great rewards for such a thing. I had an American friend who loved to read, so he once asked me if I had a good book to read. I gave him an English Quraan. He didnt know anything about Islam. I sent him then the movie starring Anthony Quinn "The Message". He loved the movie, then he started reading the Quraan and he told me that he could not stop reading it. After reading it more than once, he came back to Bahrain to see me (his dad was a CEO of a bank here) and asked me to take him to an Islamic center, he was ready to convert. I literally cried, and I did take him. He is still one of my best friends, he thanks me everyday for helping him find the trutj. That's a great incident in my life that changed everything.

I didn't convert and yet got everything. I have now something to look forward to, even beyond this life.
Only when you realize the importance of being born in this human body form, you can start seeing the beneficial changes in your life.
InshaAllah I am also fine.

My life changing experience was beating up evil in a personal fight. and I mean it.
I was so deep I don't even want to tell you.
About other things: I would like islam too if the love of Jesus was put before the rage of mohammed.
Love you all though. Don't do anything stupid.

Helping folks who need help.
I felt like a fool at first but its like we never
really gain anything anyways materialistically
speaking it all falls apart anyways.
But giving seems to make the world a better place.

When a big earthquake shake my city, make me lost some friends and relatives only in 56 seconds. And I thought I would lost my life at that die.
That reminded me that death can come suddenly, I don't wanna die as a sinner.
