Reverting back to Islam
The people in this world who actually follow Islam as their religion believe that each and every person is born as a Muslim in the sense that every child believes in and worships the one supreme power which is Almighty Allah.
Thus, when a person following another faith converts to Islam, they refer to as reverts instead of converts. Revert also means to take a step back and thus go back to one’s original faith.
