I was inspired to come back, alhamdulillah. Certainly the work of Allah. I began thinking about Islam one day, and I felt Allah. It hit me like a ton of bricks. I was overcome.
I went back to the mosque expecting to be rejected. Head low in shame, I walked up to the Imam and one of the brothers and said "If you want me to go, I'll go. I'm sorry." They smiled and told me I was welcome, this is the house of Allah and belongs to everyone, and no one has a right to tell me I should go. They welcomed me back and the Imam embraced me. I did the prayer and had a long conversation with old friends. They asked for my help. I am in training to become an addictions/mental health counselor and they would like to grant me the opportunity to help members of our community struggling with those issues.
I am so humbled and grateful. I was given a new Quran (I do not know arabic, so I read the Saheeh International English translation. It is my favorite of all translations).
A couple years back, due to my anger and arrogance, I trolled this forum and ended up getting banned. I said terrible things. I want to offer to my brothers and sisters a sincere apology. I am so sorry. Please forgive me. Praise Allah, I am back. I will seek forgiveness from Allah and move forward. I look forward to posting here and thank you for having me.

well come back with joy and deep of heart
Islam is a religion that when it comes to its true heart, it becomes difficult to extract it. The door of Allah is a door where a sinful person returns, neither fear of being expelled from there. It does not happen, nor does any curse cry of blasphemies, Allah purifies His bond with His heart.
Alhamdulilah i am very happy for you. Stay connected and if you need anything or are feeling low again let us know insha Allah. We will help. Learn and grow from your mistakes insha Allah. Grow a connection a bond with Allah swt because if you have Allah swt you will realise you don't need anything else. Keep praying insha Allah.
Pain and hardships allow you to grow spiritually Alhamdulilah so smile when a so called calamity befalls upon you.
Alhamdulilah Allah swt is the greatest.
Thank you all so much! I don't remember what my user name(s) were, but I can find out. When I have time I will search through old emails and let you all know.
And I will change my religion immediately. Thanks for reminding me.
I was going to reply to your first thread, but looks like the need to do so has decreased somewhat. That's good news. I would welcome you back to the Deen, but that would be to imply that you left, and that's an assertion I would not dare make.
I would say this though: Don't let anyone tell you what you must believe to be a Muslim. Not some random guy at the mosque, not some random keyboard warrior at Islamicboard, not the imam, not some guy with a scholarly-looking website. Examine and evaluate everything that anyone tells you. That is what I have done.
Everyone else, please cease and desist with digging into his past, wondering what his previous username might have been. The sincerely repentant are within their rights to hide their old sins. What you are doing is nothing short of voyeurism.
