As Salaam Alaykum Wa Rahmatullahi Wa Barakatuhu

However, I could not stop wondering at the amazing nature of the universe, the trees, the birds, the people and life. I finally came to the conclusion that there was a God. But my confusion remained in that I did not know what religion to follow. Which was the right religion? I was very lost.

Then I drifted into looking into Christianity for a bit. I rejoined university and I remember I would check out the flyers for ANY religious talks from any religion. In my search, I also dipped into Sikhism and Buddhism & "techno-spiritualism" in my desperation to find inner peace - but it wasn’t to be found.

After nearly 8 years of unhappiness during which time my whole life had turned upside down, I thought I would have a look about Islam. I thought I began searching for Islamic talks and circles in Scotland. On one occasion, a revert brother called Yusuf gave me a portion of the English translation of the Quran (Sura Al-Naba) which read on the bus on way back home. I also met some sisters who for the first time in my life had answers to my tricky questions about Islam. I read up on Islam and prayed off and on. In the end, I said in my heart "ashhadu allah ila ha illal lahu muhammedar rasul ullah" - I bear witness that there is no god except Allah and I bear witness that Muhammed is his slave and messenger. But my imaan was very improved much. Then I decided to act upon some advice I received which, with Allahs help and Mercy, literally has changed my life:

The secret my brothers and sisters lies in regular prayer and good company and in reading the Quran. The rest comes slowly inshallah, but you have to make a proper effort to change and Allah helps for He says in the Quraan, that He does not change the situation of a people until they try changing it themselves first.

After only two weeks of doing the above, I noticed a big difference - and Allah alone is our sole helper and bestower of Mercy. And the journey continues Insha'Allah.

As Allah says, "so remember me and I will remember you." . I seek his forgiveness and pray he keeps me and my brothers and sisters of this ummah on the straight path which my Prophet Mohammed was upon, peace and blessings be upon him.

My non-Muslim family are very supported and happy about that I have found the faith. Now, I am Hadifh of the Noble Quran, Alhamdulillah! Being reverted into Islam is very struggle because we have stay away from something that are haraam stuff! I have find it is not easy! But Alhamdulillah, I have found bit easy to stayed away from haraam stuff.
