Last October I took my shahada, but I now realise that my heart was not completely in it and I didn't pray. I fell away from Islam. I have come from a very committed Christian background, but I discovered Islam by chance (so to speak!). I never intended to become a Muslim, but felt pressured by friends to make a commitment.
Since last year I have come to a growing realisation that I cannot go back to Christianity because Jesus was not God, and Paul gave us the Christianity we have today - which is not the religion of Jesus. Islam is such a beautiful religion. I want to come back. I know I have to repent and start praying. Is it really that straightforward? If I am sincere will Allah forgive me? Is there a ritual prayer or wudu I would have to perform?
Ameen,
Abu Dharr al-Ghafari reported that the Prophet [Pbuh] said: All, the Lord of Honor and Glory, says "Whoever does on good deed will recieve ten rewards, or even more; whoever sins once will be punished in proportion to it, or I may pardon him. When someone approaches Me a hand's length, I approach him an arms length; when someone walks towards Me, I run towards him; and when someone comes to Me [seeking My forgiveness] full of as many sins in the whole world contains, I meet him with equal amount of forgivness" [Related by Muslim]
Abu Hurayrah reported that the Prophet [Pbuh] said: When Allah created mankind, He also decreed, "My mercy will overcome My anger"
The Quran quotes: "Your Lord has decreed uponHimself [the rule of] mercy" [Surah al-An'am]
SubhanAllah brother in Islam, these verses speak for themselves :'( Peace be with you also x
