I am so grateful to allah swt for leading me out of ignorance and granting me knowledge to know that Islam is the Truth and the chance to know Him Allah swt the way he should be known and worshipped.

SubhanAllah the best day of my life to date and the best thing thats ever happened to me is the day i said shahada and became a muslimah.

To this day I get all teary remembering how much allah swt has blessed me with just this one thing (let alone all the other blessings before and after islam and continue to get)

SubhanAllah its overwhelming -- this is what we should be grateful for and remember that the people around us even our loved ones --- are still living in the dark they are still ignorant.

If you dont teach them or slowly slowly implement islam and show them islam -- how can they learn? How do you know it wasnt in allah' wisdom that through YOU they too accept Islam ? SubhanAllah I make dua after every salah that allah swt has mercy on my family and inshaAllah they be led to Islam too.

As you learn Islam more and more and put more things into practise -- yes you struggle --- life happens and you get tested --- but the beauty of islam is Your not alone and not left alone to deal with your tests.

You have the best guidance in the Quran and Sunnah (let alone all the brothers and sisters you can turn to for advice and support) and subhanAllah this has been the greatest blessing for me --- whenever im stuck in a certain situation I say what does Allah say i should do here and look it up --- there are countless sources and an easy page to get rulings on different aspects of life as they happen is Islam QA for example.

Yes life is hard in Islam BUT life WITHOUT islam is harder.

Dont take the guidance and blessings and the power of Dua we have in Islam for granted.
