Abdullah Al-Matroud tells the story of his transformation:
{{Blockquote|text=“ At the beginning of my life during middle and high school, I was a singer, as I used to sing on stage. I was an athlete, as I won first place in gymnastics in elementary school in the Riyadh region. I was a goalkeeper in football, and I played tennis and volleyball. I was also an actor, and I won first place in the Kingdom in the Jeddah region. At the beginning of high school, there was a great professor named Falah bin Mubarak Al-Atari, who taught at Riyadh High School. He was one of the reasons that made me take the path of guidance and calling to God. He heard my voice while reciting the Holy Quran, so he encouraged me and said: It is better than singing. So I began to maintain the recitation of the Holy Quran and Islamic songs, and I continued on this beautiful path. And from the encouragement of this professor, he introduced me to lead prayers in one of the mosques, and after that, God opened my eyes, and I walked on the right path, praise be to God. ”|author=Abdullah Al-Matroud|source={{Cite book |last=محمد حسين |first=مؤمن |url=https://www.worldcat.org/oclc/33996059 |title=Nujūm fī samāʼ al-hidāyah |date=1993–1994 |publisher=دار الاعتصام للطبع و النشر و التوزيع |isbn=9772110547 |oclc=33996059 |language=ar |trans-title=Stars in the sky of guidance |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20191210074556/https://www.worldcat.org/title/nujum-fi-sama-al-hidayah/oclc/33996059 |archive-date=10 December 2019}}|title=}}
