We can’t tell the story of IslamInSpanish without first …
Going back to the story of the minds behind it all. In 2000 to 2001, there was a journey that was taking place. A spiritual journey for Sandy Gutierrez and Jaime Fletcher while they were dating and experiencing your typical college student life in Houston, TX. They began searching for the truth in Life and how to really connect with the one who created everything. They happen to stumble upon Islam and for 1 year studied it deeply to the point where they both accepted Islam.
Jaime took his shahada 3 months before the unfortunate incidents of September 11, 2001 (9/11) and Sandy a week after that and soon there after they were married a month later. With them being the first in their families to accept Islam and educate them about Islam, they realized the need for more material about Islam in the Spanish language.
Jaime Fletcher Sr. almost immediately after being introduced to Islam by his son, he also accepted Islam. One thing that he did find challenging was finding material about Islam in the Spanish language. So he told his son, you’re going to have to make this material, and I’ll help you.
