What Allah has prepared for us..

​The Prophet (salla Allaahu ‘alayhi wa salaam) said, ALLAH said:
“I have prepared for My pious worshipers such things as no eye has ever seen, no ear has ever heard of, and nobody has ever thought of. All that is reserved, besides which, all that you have seen, is nothing.”
[Saheeh Bukhari – Book 60, Hadith 303]

American sister Melissa’s journey to Islam 

​(From Darkness to the Light)
Assalamalaikum, My Name is Melissa….

I used to be a new apostolic christian.

I had a hectic life of drinking alot and having sex with different men.I have 3 children from 3 different men.I was married to the 1 but he never worked, drinking alcohol alot and abused me in front of my children.I have a very good friend who use to give me a lift to work and use to talk about Allah and Islam. Every morning I listened but I wasnt really that interested until the day that he spoke about Allah and there was tears in his eyes…I was so moved about this grown man of 40 yrs that talks about his religion sp passionately. I started getting more interested and in January 2016 I embraced Islam. I go every week to one-on-one classes with the Imam who is teaching me step by step from the history and all I need to know in our daily lives.

I have never regretted my decision and hope other non muslims will open their eyes as well in sha Allah Ameen.

Islam is the only true way of live.Alhamdullilah.

Revert sis Kristine’s view about marriage 

​Marriage is not what everyone thinks it is. It’s not waking up early every morning to make breakfast and eat together. Its not cuddling in bed together until both of you peacefully fall asleep. It’s not a clean home and a homemade meal every day. It’s someone who steals all the covers and knees you in the face because the bed is too small for both of you. It’s slammed doors and few harsh words, fights and the silent treatment, it’s wondering if you’ve made the right decision.

It is, despite all of those things, the one thing you look forward to every day.

It’s coming home to the same person everyday that you know loves and cares about you. It’s laughing about the one time you accidentally did something stupid.

It’s about eating the cheapest and easiest meal you can make and sitting down together at 10pm to eat because you both had a crazy day. It’s when you have an emotional breakdown and your love lays on the floor with you and holds you and tells you everything is going to be okay, and you believe them. It’s when “Netflix and chill” literally means you watch Netflix and hang out.

It’s about still loving someone even though they make you absolutely insane.

Living with the person you love is countless fights about absolutely nothing, but is also having a love that people spend their whole life looking for.

It’s not perfect and it’s hard, but it’s amazing and comforting and the best thing you’ll ever experience.

Go ahead and share a picture of the person you love and copy and paste this, make their day.

Celebrate Mercy 

​#CelebrateMercy -— Rabiʾ al awwal 1438: Loving the Prophet (ﷺ)
Lady ‘Ā’ishah related that a man came to the Prophet (ﷺ) saying: “O God’s Messenger, I love you more than myself, my wife and children. When I am at home and remember you, I cannot wait to come and gaze at you. Though when I remember my death and your death, I know that when you enter Paradise, you will be raised-up with the Prophets. But even if I enter Paradise, I am afraid I will never see you.” The Prophet (ﷺ) did not answer him until the following was sent down to him, “Whoever obeys Allāh and His Messenger, they are with those whom Allah has favoured, of the Prophets, the highest saints, the martyrs and the righteous. They are the best of company.” [4:69]
Subḥān’Allāh, the concern wasn’t if he would end up in heaven, but if he would be close to the Prophet (ﷺ) or not.

Sister Mariana’s journey to Islam 


As Salam Alaikum Wa Rahmadullahi Wa Barakatu all ❤️
My name is Mariana and I’m Czech revert living in Uk.
Alhamdulillah I’ve converted to islam 4 years ago in young age. As many of you know back home we didn’t really knew nothing about muslims, we hardly see any muslim (I’ve never seen one in my life back home) and mostly all we knew about muslims was trough social media (e.g. Al-Qaida , Taliban and of course 9/11). And even in school we had nothing about muslim. I used to be strong Catholic, used to read bible and old and New Testament on daily and even go to Catholic Church school. 

But all changed when me and my mother moved to uk and she have married pakistani muslim man , well he wasn’t a great example of muslim but that’s when i met my first muslim ever. After a while I’ve started going to school here and meet more muslims and becoming friends with them.
And that’s when my research began. From hating muslims I went to protecting and loving them , soon after finishing Quran and Reading life of Prophet Muhammed SAW I’ve converted to Islam Alhamdulillah. Path was easy till the day I’ve started to properly practice it. My mom wasntmuch happy about me no more, loads of my family started backbiting and I’ve even lost many of my dearest friends and even got a death threats from my love ones . But Alhamdulillah with a help of Allah SWT I’ve been strong and just went my way learning more about my religion and covering my self .

I’ve been trough bad just to become stronger and created more and more passion for my religion ISLAM ❤️.
 Islam has showed me truth which i was looking for. 

When everything was going downhill this phase always helped me “Allah test those who he loves” Subhan’Allah look at this , if you feel life is hard remember this ☺️

May Allah SWT bless you all with an good health and let us all meet in Jannah . Ameen

Sister hilal’s Revert story

A story of a revert

I’ve been raised in a Christian family, on a Christian school, with Jehova witness giving me bible lessons at home and with all the Christian traditions.
I knew the bible, but I never really got satisfied. I couldn’t live by this book and also I didn’t feel comfortable in churches.
While I grew older I noticed my interest in exploring other religions and cultures. But just as an interest, not to change my religion which was not an option in my mind.
I found that a lot of what other religions were saying had a truth in them, but I personally could never accept this whole religion as the truth. But it was the same as my believes in Christianity!

I began to think that there was truth in everything and it didn’t really matter what you believed in or what you followed. Surely though this is a form of escaping. I mean, does it make sense: one truth for one person and another truth for someone else? There can only be one truth right?!

All I knew in my heart is that there is a god and I can always turn to him with all my prayers which was the biggest strength, the biggest support and the biggest love in life. He sees and knows all! It was that simple for me.

I went on holiday in Turkey and visited a great mosque. With every step I took, the more I felt the presence of God with me. It was such a great feeling…like home. I felt calm and peaceful.

A muslim taught me more about islam and I felt confused and prayed, “Oh, please God, I am so confused, please guide me to the truth”. Then I heard Adhan and I felt so calm and peaceful again. This is when I discovered Islam within my heart.

Of course I always knew something about Islam, but only what we naively hear in the West, which are mostly not very positive stories. So I was surprised by what I learnt. The more that I read the Quran and asked questions about what Islam taught, the more truths I received. It made sence. Everything is just logical!

Islam is love and tolerance for me and Allah is all forgiving. Just the only sin that God will not forgive is the worship of creation. Worship the creator. Who give life and takes it again.

However, the truth of Islam can be found in the Quran. The Quran is like a text book guide to life. In it you will find all the answers to all your questions!
For me, everything I had learnt about all the different religions, everything that I knew to be true, fitted together like pieces of a puzzle. I had all the pieces all along but I just didn’t know how to fix them together or what name it had.

It is the true Islam as described in the Quran. Not the Islam that we get taught about in the West.

I read the quran and I felt the purity and truth of it. There was no mysticism, just plain, simple understanding of the truth.
When I heard the Adhan (the call to prayer) I felt a closeness to God that penetrated deep into my heart and soul. It still does!

There are religions based on believing in certain sciences, multiple deities, the religion of 3 gods in one and the religion I had my whole live, but none of them made any logical sense to me.

Here was Islam, based on the belief in One God who created the creation itself out of nothing, and the fact that this book I was reading (Quran) had not one vowel or language changed in over 1400 years was a miracle in itself. Thus, I was sold on the oneness of God and the unity of Islam.

However, I found the religion which fits my heart. My believes are still the same…just another name…Islam.

When I was in Turkey I loved to be free to wear my hijab, to protect myself as a diamond. To see others live their beautiful religion.
My family does not accept/understand being a muslim , like my whole country…. I can’t wear hijab here or pray correctly. Muslims are being bullied here and it can even be dangerous. Unfortunately there is a lot of hate against Islam here. All I can do is pray…for allah to give guidance to me and all the lost ones and to give strength.

For me, there is only one God. And Islam is the religion of love and tolerance.
At last when people ask me if I am Muslim I proudly say: ‘Yes, My name is Hilal and I am a Muslim alhamdoulillah!’

Daughter of the former Italian parliament member has embraced islam

The daughter of an Italian former parliamentarian has reverted to Islam and donned Islamic hijab, a decision which sparked uproar across Italy.
“The hijab is my way, the way that Allah has chosen for me,” Manuela Franco Barbato, now Aysha, wrote on her Facebook account, Il Giornale daily reported on May 26.
“I am proud of the purity of my soul. This is the divine law, who am I to object?”
Aysha is the daughter of a former MP for Italy of Values party Franco Barbato.
The young woman decided to revert to Islam while studying in the Università L’orientale of Napoli.
Now approaching graduation, she moved to India with her husband and two children.
Aysha’s decision to revert to Islam shocked her father who said he is having hard times since his daughter’s change of faith.
Nevertheless, the now veiled Aysha’s supports her father’s Napoli mayoral campaign.
Italy has a Muslim population of some 1.7 million, including 20,000 reverts, according to the figures released by Istat, the national statistics agency.

After a long search for spiritual meaning I converted from Christianity to Islam on April 16, 2009. Prior to converting I had studied Islam and the Holy Qur’an for six months and understood that it was mandatory for women to cover their hair and their body. This was definitely a change for me, but I knew that it was better for me to cover my hair and my body and exhibit to others that I am a Muslim who wishes to honor her body with dignity and respectability. For the first year I covered my hair and clothed my body daily and felt comfortable in doing so. However, during my second year as a Muslim I became fretful and discouraged as I watched other Sisters not cover their body or wear their headscarf. Consequently, I stopped covering my hair. I remember going to work and seeing other Sisters proudly wearing their head scarves and I felt so ashamed. I knew that I was not doing what was expected of me as a Muslim if I truly choose to practice Islam. Within the year that I was not covering my hair I had started a new job and they did not know that I was a Muslim. Therefore, I worried about their impression of me if and when I was to wear my head scarf again. Ramadan was approaching and during my prayers I made Dua to Allah (swt) to give me strength and courage to cover my hair once again. During Ramadan 2011, I took time off from work and started to wear my head scarf once more. Alhamdulillah, once my vacation was over I returned back to work with my head scarf on and have worn it outside and to work every day since that time. Shoukran Allah, I was not judged or mistreated by my co-workers or customers while wearing my head scarf. SubhanAllah, most of the time non-Muslim women compliment me on my head scarf and treat me very kindly. Alhamdulillah, I have found prestige and an increase in my self-esteem because I cover my hair and body.

Alhamdulillah, I find that wearing my head scarf has drawn the positive attention of non-Muslim people who become fascinated and want to learn more about the beauty of Islam. SubhanAllah, wearing my head scarf is an opportunity to complete Dawah and inform people about the true peacefulness and loveliness of Islam. – Jennifer, California

My journey to islam..

image

Salam alaikum warahmatullah

I Found Allah!

I was always Catholic. My mom, to this day, is devout in her faith, and growing up, I never missed a day of church. She always took care to remind me that the Catholic faith was the best faith in the world, and that there was no religion more fulfilling.

But even with my faith, for the past three years or so, I’ve been struggling a lot. I’ve been depressed, self-harming, and inching closer to the brink of suicide every day. I’ve felt so alone.

Now, for a while, I’ve also been growing increasingly aware of Islam, and I’ve been trying to learn about it as much as I can (while keeping it hidden from my mother). Once I let Islam into my life, things started slowly making more sense.

And today, everything changed.

Tonight before bed, I came home feeling particularly lonely. I was at the end of my rope. Yet something moved me to kneel down in my room, put my forehead to the ground, and prayed to Allah.

I spoke to Him, and suddenly I opened up, and I cried my heart out to Him… I asked Him, “Why am I alone? Why do I feel so unwanted and unloved by everyone around me?”

I begged Him to show me the right path, and then, clear as day, I knew the answer. I knew the reason for my suffering. He allowed loneliness to enter my life so that I would turn to Him. He (subhanahu wa ta’ala) needed to show me that no matter how alone I felt, He would always be there, pouring His Love down on me. All of a sudden, my tears stopped flowing. I wasn’t in pain anymore.

Once I surrendered to Him all the pain i was carrying around in my heart, He filled it with His Love.

I know now, in my heart, that I belong to Allah.

I don’t know how or where to start this journey in faith, so In sha’Allah, the wonderful community on this page can support me, and help me grow and learn.

German sister’s path to Islam

German sister Fatima’s path to Islam

“Shortly after I was born, it became a “fashion” in Germany to quit membership of the Church—Catholic or Protestant—and become “gottglaubig” which means believing in God but actually signifies rather the contrary.

In fact when I was about seven years old, an elder girl told me that there was no God at all and as she seemed to me quite an authentic person and I had just learned that also Santa Claus is only an invention for children, turned all my interest towards this world. Yet the world at that time was far from being easily understandable for young people. There were bombs day after day, there was father who could come only now and then for just one day and mother who knitted gloves and socks for “our poor soldiers,” there was a big house in the neighborhood which was turned into a hospital for the wounded. When that was over, there were strange people who took away our house and American war-films started coming in which melted my heart. I was unable to judge who was right and who was wrong and everything looked cruel and senseless to me—there were a thousand whys to which nobody could give a satisfactory answer. I started to be on the outlook for God yet hard though I tried I could neither find Him in Catholicism nor Protestantism nor with Jehova’s Witnesses.

The road nearer to God in these religions was barred for me through the fact that all of them had doctrines in which to believe I found impossible, and injunctions to follow which strictly seemed to me impracticable. And how could I accept a faith in which I knew from the very outset that I would be tortured by self accusation for my own imperfection?

It is still a miracle for me that of all girls, I was the one to meet a young European who had already embraced Islam seven years before. The very first time we met I happened to enquire about his religion and when I learned that it was Islam I asked him to tell me more about it. I was a great sceptic at that time due to the disappointments I had had with other religions, yet when he explained to me the meaning of the word ‘Muslim’, i.e., one who out of free will surrenders himself to God’s Commandments, something started waking up within me. Then he went on to explain to me that all men, animals, plants and everything else in this universe is already Muslim compulsorily because they would destroy themselves if they would not follow God’s laws in matters such as eating, drinking, procreation and so on. Man alone, so he said, is in a position to accept Islam also spiritually, apart from the material sphere where he practically does not have a free choice but has to follow his inborn urges as animals and plants.

It was the wonderful logic, the pure commonsense in all Islamic teachings which attracted me so much, in the first few fundamental doctrines about which I learned as much as in the books I read in the following years small though the stock of unbiased Islamic literature in German language is. Apart from the help of the young Muslim he now is my husband—who never got tired of explaining things to me and answering all my questions. Muhammad Asad’s book “The Road to Mecca” made me understand the deep meaning behind all Islamic injunctions and thus helped me most while I was on my way to become a Muslimah.”

Asalamualaikum My name is Victoria
I first started learning about Islam in February  2014 the Day was about to come. I identified as a Wiccan but it never felt right to me. It never felt strong. I was so intrigued by Islam. I first started learning about the hijab, niqab, burqa, etc and then I started learning about the religion as a whole and what it was and what Muslims believed in.During this process, I met my beautiful Muslim friend, Shaza, through the World Hijab Day page. She has been so much help to me in my journey.

4th year of revert …

Today marks 4 years that I have been a Muslim. I took shahada on April 5 2012. I never imagined I would be a Muslim which goes to show Allah swt is the best of planners. I never would have planned this for my life if Allah swt hadn’t softened my heart and opened up my eyes. I am so thankful for that every single moment. #alhamdulillah #4years

Can we all take a moment to say #alhamdulillah for Allah’s guidance and mercy and perfect planning?

Sister Rebecca Lynne’s journey to islzm

image

Rabat – Rebecca Lynne Alsalemi, the American Muslim whose videos against bigotry toward Islam have gone viral, tells her story on how she converted (reverted) to Islam.

In her latest video, Rebecca opens up her heart and talks about her difficult childhood and the reasons that brought her to choose Islam as her faith and way of life.

Everyone has a story, everyone’s life is a world of its own and Rebecca’s world was filled negativity and challenging experiences that touched her faith to God.

From her lack of spiritual guidance at an early age, her “racist family that hung confederate flags on their home walls”, to attending churches that did not fulfill her, Alsalemi was desperately seeking an answer to all her questions.

Her conversion, or as she calls it reversion to Islam was a life-changing moment that she will remember forever.

“Islam was the best choice for me and I wouldn’t change it for the world,” she concludes her touching statement.

Rebecca Lynne Alsalemi, of Native American descent, was born and raised in the U.S. She is a mother and an activist for the defense and support of the Muslim community.

Asalaam’Alaikum my brothers & sisters. My birth name is Megan and I’m a proud South African, I always took note of women in hijab and gained many Muslim friends as I grew into adulthood. Alhamdulilah I have been brought into the fold of Islam through my want and need to feel the love and inspiration to have this written into my taqdeer. I make dua everyday to aspire to the women and men of Islam around me and become a Muslima my creator imagined me to be. I am of a very staunch family but shukr they smiled and accepted my choice when I took my shahada. May The Almighty keep you all in his angels arms and protect you and awaken the joy and I’m a an of those worried what others will think of them in this ummah. #hellofromSA #proudmuslim #MyAlmighty

Sister Katt’s journey to islam

image

ASSALAMUALAIKUM O BELOVED MUSLIMS.
Lets welcome sister Katt who reverted to Islam recently.
” Just call me Katt. I am 20 years old. I was formerly an Atheist before I reverted to Islam. Do you wanna know how my dad found out I reverted to Islam?. To make a slightly complicated story short, here’s how it happened:
I was sitting in my car outside my neighborhood in a pull-out after leaving my parents’ house. I was sitting there because I was putting my hijab on so that I wouldn’t have to do it when I got back to college.
A car pulls up next to mine, and I’m sitting there wondering who’s trying to get cozy with my car. I look over at the other car’s driver, and my dad and brother are staring at me.
So I roll down my window and my dad asks me what I’m doing.
“Ummm… I converted to Islam! Surprise!” I said, starting to get teary-eyed. I was so afraid of how my dad would react.
“Oh. That’s why you’re wearing that scarf. Uh… so do you go to church?” he asks. My brother is staying quiet, just kind of watching me. “Yeah,” I tell him, not going to correct him on the word. “You’re not going to tell mom are you? I’ll tell mom myself. I was going to tell you guys on my birthday or something. I converted awhile ago.”
My dad just kind of rubs his temple, like he doesn’t know what to say, and then he says it. “Well, at least you’re worshiping God in some way. We don’t have to tell mom.” And so we cracked a couple of jokes. I didn’t cry in front of him, but I did after he drove off.
Alhamdulillah, I have such a good father.” ~ (Katt)
MA SHAA ALLAH! ALHAMDULILLAH!!! May ALLAH Subhanahu Wa Ta’ala bless her and her family. Ameen ya Rabbal alameen.

Takbeer, Sister Jen embraced islam

Praise to be Allah swt..

Praise and thanks be to The Almighty. May peace be upon Prophet Muhammad and his entire family. May peace be upon the sahabi and their entire families. May blessings be upon the ‘ulamaa and may the entire ummah be granted forgiveness. Ya Allah! I’m weak. You are strong. I’m unreasonable but you are just. Pour patience over me and grant my friends and family guidance and protection. Give us all patience. Cause us to have the proper fear of You that is necessary to be dutiful to Your commands and abstain from Your prohibitions. Give us from Your bounty. You are Al Ghani, Rich and free of all needs. Help us solve our issues whatever they are in the most splendid manner and admit us to Paradise. Ameen.

Story of a veteran who served US marines and embraced islam

image

“As Salaam Alaykum this is my father. He served in the United States Marine Corp from 1967-1970. He was in the Vietnam War. My father has been there for me my entire life. I remember the day I had converted to Islam, many years ago. He supported my decision fully. I had prayed for many years that my parents would become Muslim’s.

My father has many medical conditions from being exposed to Agent Orange during his service.
He has lived with my family for the past 9 years. We take care of him around the clock. My husband takes care of my father the same that I do. Anything he needs even helping to bathe him. Mashaa Allah I always believe because no matter what my father was suffering from.
He still helped everyone.
He would give anything for someone in need.
Mashaa Allah.So we are all here to help him and ease his burdens. In shaa Allah.  A little over 8 years ago my prayers were answered. My father took his Shahada Mashaa Allah Allah Akbar.
To this day I still get tears rolling down my face  when I think of this blessing.
My father despite how hard it is for him physically never misses his prayer. No matter in the hospital, Or bed ridden. Mashaa Allah he is always waiting for the prayer to come. I remember growing up my father had not practiced religion. I had the discussion before he converted. Explaining to my father that Allah Subhan wa taala forgives.
The war has haunted him like countless other veterans. My father is always eager to see other brothers in the store. Saying As Salaam Alaykum to them. Most of the time they walk past him and say nothing in return. My father wears a Vietnam Veteran Ball cap, and usually a Marine Corp Shirt. I see the smile fade from his face as he does not get a reply sometimes.  Unless they see me walk up behind him. I wanted to use this as a message. I wish that in our communities we do not see differences only that we are all the same. .

We have a duty to be kind towards others. Thru that kindness towards my father, he converted to Islam.
There is not a dry face on Eid’s when he goes to the prayer. What a blessing this is Mashaa Allah. May Allah Subhan wa taala always bless him ameen. 
We have a duty to be kind to others no matter if they are Muslim or not.We need to be volunteering in our communities to be beside others. Showing them what is Islam.
Not what they see on TV.” – Eayrs

Sister brooke’s journey to Dear islam

“Assalam Alaikom! My birth name is Brooke but I go by Hanaan now. I was raised in a Southern All-American family. I partied, I drank, I dated, usthagfurAllah. I was never taught the purpose in life. I moved around a lot after I turned 18, meeting Muslims everywhere I went. I was so drawn to Muslims and I never knew why. I started studying and eventually it came to a day that I felt I couldn’t go another day without being Muslim, I took Shahada that night with a Muslim friend after watching Ahmed Deedat and Yusuf Estes videos. The next day was Jummah, and to my surprise my American friend took her Shahadah the same day! I started to wear hjiab every day after that. Of course my family was not happy, and I lost a lot of friends, but I just remember Allah swt does not give us anything we can’t handle. Today I am an American hijabi and I can honestly say I could not imagine myself without Islam.” Hanaan from Texas

I am from Massachusetts  and I reverted in October. I do not come from a religious family but I always felt that I was seeking a relationship with God my whole life. My mother exposed is to many different types of religion as a kid and raised us to be very open minded, tolerant and unbiased.

Now looking back I see that these qualities are what allowed me to accept Islam without being afraid of what others think of me or what society says about Islam. As a teen I began going to church on my own and became a Christian, I was the only Christian in my family and went to church alone for the most part for many years.

Recently I have become close to a friend of mine who is Muslim and comes from a Muslim family. From my friend I learned so many beautiful things about Islam and began to read Qur’an, do research on my own and even began making salaat. I know now that Islam is the truth and Islam is why Allah planned for me all along. I feel that every Detail of my life so far has led me here.

I do struggle with not having many friends and family that are Muslim but know that Allah will eventually make this easy for me. I am facing a lot of backlash from my children’s father for my decision but I know that Allah will make this easy for me because since I accepted Islam things have only improved around me. Alhamdulillah!”

Inna Lilah Wa Inna Ilayhi Rajioon

Idris Tawfiq, a former Catholic priest that became Muslim and touched the hearts of thousands of people from all faiths by building bridges of kindness and understanding has departed this world earlier yesterday.

He had been hospitalised recently in a comma and he returned to his Lord at 8.30am yesterday morning. May Allah admit him to paradise and forgive him for his sins.
