A lot of things.

But amongst them, some of my teachers in school really inspired me.

The death of somebody in the family opened my eyes a little.

The plight of our suffering brothers and sisters around the world.

WassalamuAlaykum
 
mashallah

well my story is long but lets just say it was a singer that brought me closer to islam. now u might think i've actually spoke to this singer no i havent. also my brother in law brought me closer to islam.
 
:sl:

I was to affraid of jihns (at young age) nd i needed to seek protection. Nd i learned by becomig a good muslim you cast them away lool :D. (nd i mean I WAS REALLY AFRAID)

Inspiring stories which happened to family also made me realize that Allah is there watching me, nd i need to perform.

Nice idea btw sis :D
 
loll yeh i used to be really scared of jins and what scared me the most was the day of judgement and also the dajjal.

btw what idea r u talkin about :? it was only a question
 
^The idea to open such a thread, because it can be usefull for others to read what inspired people to become better muslims.
 
First Allah SWT, My parents, they've done so much for me. Seeing some of my olda siblings going the wrong path n what it has done to them. I promised myself that I wasn't going to end up like that. I didnt do that on my own tho. At some point I was in complete darkness...n I remember my father wud say to me "u dont have to touch the fire to know that it can burn u up". That made me think alot, and now I learned to say NO first hand. Not after trying something and realising, oh no, this is not right.

Alhamdulilah.

i started getting closer to islam when one of my friends died we were 15 back then and it scared me so much and made me realize that death has no given age
 
I had an awesome Islamic studies teacher!
Of course, you can lead a horse to the river, but you can't make it drink. I loved his lectures and the material. but I mean the actual worship and practicing built slowly.
To be honest, it's hard to say exactly how.
I don't know which event triggered gave me the greatest push, when so much happened.
I was blessed with worldly things. I wanted to be grateful, but everything was useless. I was born Muslim, but little by little I began to practice. I'm grateful my parents still kept up with some Islamic obligations. So I when truly understood its message and began accepting it, I didn't have to start from scratch.
I would sell this world for Islam. Islam gave me a purpose, a reason to be grateful.
Growing up, I realized from all the disbelief and engulfment in this dunya, I knew that was what I didn't want. But I had to look for what I did want. And Islam, I realized it was right there - what I wanted was Islam.
 
Giving up music and lisiting to Qur'an more
Also fear of Death....(A close death opened my eyes a lot)
 
1. Parents alhamdulillaah, knowledgeable people that were around me as I was growing up
2. The suffering I became aware of in Bosnia during my childhood years really help me to connect with the need to belong, to be one and to unite upon the love of Allaah
3. The striving of those who upheld the Deen
4. Every attack against Islaam made me more proud to be a Muslim
5. I think being in a place where there were little if any people who practised made me yearn to find my Islaamic identity even more... I wanted to be rooted amongst those who uprooted every value that they should have lived by...

nice post wa jazaakillaahu khayran :)

I started reading Quran when I was 17.I was reading 1-2 pages everyday.What I read was great things and I was really affected by them.One day I fall asleep in my room.There was no one besides me.I had a dream or nightmare.Actually I dont know what to call it.In my dream there was nothing except me.A complete darkness and I was in the middle of it.I screamed "aunt"(I was staying with my aunt).Then I decided to pray 5 times a day.And after I started praying I read lots of books about our beautiful religion.I never gave up reading about Islam.Now I am still a student of Islam.I regularly read a compilation of books called "Risale-i Nur by Bediuzzaman Said Nursi"
 
:sl:As i was growing up, and saw the trials and tribulations and strife people went through......... as an adult i went through those same trials and tribulations, realising that nothing was in my own hands.......................:w::cry:
