Hello from new member

Salamo alaykom

I am new here and i am thinking of converting to Islam (insha'Allah)

I would like to know as much as i can

[Woodrow]

First lesson: it only takes a matter of seconds to become a Muslim, but it is a liftetime to be one.


I am glad to see you are interested in learning about this beautiful way of life. All I can say is learn what you can, share what you can and always be sincere in searching for truth. Many of us here, including my self, came to Islam from other beliefs. Feel free to ask questions and Insha allah we can help answer them.

[Amat Allah]

Ahhh, but the bible actually does contain much truth. That within it which does not contradict the Qur'an is usually true. For many of us it was the Bible and the words of Jesus(as) that guided us to the path that led to Islam.

Ahh, that is something new, no one has said that before. it wasnt the bible that brought me, well my partner is muslim and i have a young friend who is a convert 3 years and they planted a seed and i have made it grow to the poiint now i am comfortable to hear and learn about it and even wanting to convert.

You will find that many of us reverts do not feel we left the teachings of Jesus(as) we simply went on to the fulfillment of what he actually taught. Bits and pieces of the Injil can be found in the bible but they are completed and repeated accurately in the Qur'an

You can say a revert to Islam is a Christian who has been corrected, edited and reprinted.

[Irisheyes]

Thank you sister (Amat Allah), that is so very kind of you! i have been so shocked on how everyone on these forums have been so nice. i really didnt think that people could be like that! i am so happy that i have been proves wrong xx

From what i have learned it is amazing and beautiful. I have been listening to people reciting the Qur'an and there is nothing to describe how it makes me feel! x

O my goodness, now you have tolsd me that way, it makes so much more sense to me. you really make it easy to understand, thank you

The true beauty of the Quran can only be felt. The words are important but the feeling surpasses them. You can actually feel the truth of al-Fatihah even if you do not understand the Arabic:

For shear joy what can be better than listening to the beauty of the 99 Names of Allaah(swt)

Welcome to the forum and hope you have enjoyable and beneficial stay!

As God (SWT) revealed in the Qur'an, He sent messengers along with His guidance/message to every nation and throughout the history of mankind, as part of His mercy towards us.
However, the message (which was always the same at the core - worship God the One and do goodness) was always corrupted (changed, lost, added, reduced, etc) after the departures of the messengers, and Muhammad (SAW) was His last messenger and Qur'an is the only message preserved (as He SWT has already promised in the Qur'an) because it is meant for all mankind and for all time.
As unc. Woodrow said, you can still find bits and pieces of truth in the gospels, and the more you learn Islam, the more everything makes sense Insha Allah.

So, have fun learning Islam! and I hope Alllah SWT guide you to the straight path. amiin.

[Amat Allah]

May Allah make me deserve you and your kind words my precious ^^ Ameeen

all Praise, Glory and Thanks be to the Most Merciful. May Allah give you the peace of mind and heart and make you amongst His loved pious and righteous servants and slaves Ameeeen

Yes, our respected and noble brother Woodrow is true May Allah preserve him and all of us Ameeeen what would make your heart and soul happy in this world more than the words of Allah and His rememberance...

May Allah bless ya Ameeen

love you for the sake of Allah O my sweetheart...xxx

The doing so is up to you alone. but I suggest one to revert only after they have sufficient knowledge to know for certain it is the right choice and they can say the Shahadah with complete sincerity. The very second a person says the Shahadah, even if they are alone, they are Muslim and equal to the longest practicing Muslim, with the added advantage of entering a new life and the entire past including all sins being removed.
