Two Ambassadors to the LGBTQ+ Community: An Interview With Myriam and Anaïs

In a world where religion is often perceived as a space of judgment, rejection or condition, a voice rises: that of Aba Al-Sadiq. His mission? To call people to God, without condemning anyone, regardless of their background. He reminds us that he has not come to judge the people. Rather, as a Messenger and Imam, to open the doors and extend love, grace, and the religion of Allah to all human beings.

While the world fractures, categorizes, and divides—based on culture, religion, identity, and orientation—he chooses a different path. He calls for a return to the essential: our shared humanity. To look with the heart rather than with fear. To unite where others denigrate, divide, and persecute. Far from the condemnations and barriers imposed by certain religious institutions, his message puts back at the center the sacred value of each being and each soul, not that of a few. United under the same banner: that of God.

It invites us to move beyond labels, identities, and apparent differences to recognize a deeper truth: every being is in search of meaning, truth, and God. From this perspective, people from the LGBTQ+ community are neither marginalized nor merely tolerated, but fully welcomed, respected, and recognized as an integral part of this universal calling.

As ambassadors within the religion for the LGBTQ+ community, Myriam and Anaïs bear witness to this — each in their own way, with their own story and their own path to God.

Personal Journey of the Two Ambassadors

Who are you today, beyond the labels? Myriam: I am a woman, a mother, and a wife. Today, I feel aligned, in harmony with the image I project and the one I carry within. Anaïs: I am a fulfilled woman, in harmony with my principles and values. Today, I feel at peace in my roles as wife, mother, and woman.

What life experiences have shaped you the most? Myriam: Becoming a mother, without hesitation. Educating, understanding, and supporting a child's growth requires constant self-reflection. It forces introspection, personal growth, and becoming a better version of oneself. Anaïs: My meeting with my husband was pivotal, like a door opening onto a deeper calling. The birth of my son and, above all, my encounter with God profoundly transformed my outlook on life and my understanding of myself.

Where did you truly feel you belonged before? Myriam: In rugby, it's an environment where everyone has their place, regardless of their origin, physique, or gender. There's a real sense of acceptance and teamwork that has profoundly impacted me. Anaïs: Nowhere, really. For a long time, I felt that something was expected of me, that I constantly had to give or respond to implicit expectations. Paradoxically, it was in the professional sphere that I felt most at ease, because everything is clear there: it's about performance, without unspoken assumptions, without ambiguity.

Spiritual Path

How did your encounter with faith come about? Myriam: After a lifetime of searching for God through creation, and having come to the conclusion that even what I knew of Islam had been altered, I made a sincere request: to receive a clear sign. It was at that moment that I came across a video that answered my questions precisely, particularly regarding Ramadan and the issue of the alteration of the Qur’an. Anaïs: It happened through my husband. Then, by discovering The Goal of the Wise I found answers to questions that had remained unanswered. Everything fell into place coherently: a logical whole, a continuity, and a profoundly universal vision.

What deeply touched or challenged you? Myriam: Experiencing this discovery as a family was a very powerful experience. The Sermon of Clarification marked a turning point, and seeing the face of Abdullah Hashem again, who had already made a significant impact on my journey, reinforced this feeling of certainty. Anaïs: This message has the ability to speak to everyone, through logic as much as through its universality. It is not addressed to a particular group, but to humanity in its most essential form.

How has this spirituality changed your perspective on yourself and others? Myriam: This path has given me a profoundly universal vision: an openness, a love, and a peace that don't put human beings in boxes. It has taught me to look beyond labels and to recognize the value of each individual. Anaïs: This marked for me the end of an inner wandering, but also the end of a feeling of rejection towards God. I found a form of peace and reconnection there.

Engagement and Inclusion

What inspired you to get involved?

Myriam: It's been a lifelong struggle. I've always been welcomed, supported, and never rejected by this community. From a very young age, this gave me the strength to link it to my own fight against injustice, certain systems, and social pressures. If today I'm at peace with my identity, my sexuality, and a sometimes androgynous image, it's because I've experienced, discovered, and above all, defended the freedom to exist through openness, diversity, and a lack of judgment that goes beyond the purely physical. I've always known that before being a body, I am a soul, a free spirit evolving in a material world. It is this deep conviction that has allowed me to transform my questions into strength and to fully embrace who I am. Today, it is an honor for me to be able, in turn, to call for this freedom to exist, especially for the youngest, who often live in constant struggle.

Anaïs: To provide answers to a community often rejected by religions, and to restore to it a place, dignity, and legitimacy in the spiritual journey.

How do you connect faith and openness? Myriam: The Seventh Covenant puts love and diversity back at the center, with a form of sincere neutrality, under God's recognition, without violence or rejection. It is a vision that brings peace and unites, rather than divides. Anaïs: Through a universal love, devoid of labels, which does not condition the value of a person on their identity but on their essence.

How has this approach changed things for you personally? Myriam: By pledging allegiance, I freed myself from many limiting beliefs. I was finally able to be myself, without hiding, to fully accept myself, with the profound feeling of having found my place and being surrounded by what I consider my true family: the family of souls. Anaïs: The discovery of God in His oneness, and a deeper understanding of the link between the divine and every human being.

In your opinion, what valuable contributions do LGBTQ+ journeys make to spirituality? Myriam: They remind us that God is for everyone, without exception, with no other interest than to guide and save souls. These journeys highlight an essential reality: spirituality cannot be limited by human categories. Anaïs: They also testify that, regardless of sex, sexuality, or origins, God makes no distinction between souls. His love and help are granted to everyone, without distinction, with the same mercy and justice.

Message to the Searchers

What message would you like to convey to someone who doubts they belong? Myriam: I would encourage him to read, search for, and understand this call for himself. To ask himself a simple question: why couldn't God call him too, despite the rejection he may have experienced elsewhere? It is an invitation to discover a universal message that gathers lost truths and opens the way to divine justice founded on love, acceptance, and protection. Anaïs: For my part, I would simply say: move forward with certainty and logic. By discovering this path and the person who leads it, the answers will come naturally.

Conclusion

The paths of Myriam and Anaïs speak for themselves: two seekers of truth, driven by a quest for meaning. Two stories that come together in service to all — and an invitation. The faith of believing. That faith can be a space where we arrive as we are — with our history, our doubts, our identity — and where we become more whole, more free, more connected to God and to others. This is the heart of Aba Al-Sadiq's message: not a religion that sorts, condemns or excludes, but a universal call that recognizes in every being a soul worthy of being guided, loved and welcomed.

And you, whatever your story — this call is for you too. If you believe that it is God who appoints the Leader on Earth, no matter who you are, no matter where you come from, I say to all of you that His doors are opened wide.
