Hop and skip away from conversion

[Mahad]

I am a non-Muslim (so to say), white, upper-class male living in a very wealthy part of Colorado. I have been studying Islam completely on my own since the seventh grade. I am now out of high school. Just graduated, on my way to college. I have read the Qur'an, am slowly learning Arabic, and have completely given my heart and soul to Allah. The only thing is, to make a conversion complete, the shahadah must be recited in the presence of at least two Muslim adults. The problem is, I live in a caucasian, upper-class resort town where there is most likely NO Muslims and I live 100 miles from the nearest Islamic centre. Please, any insight or advice please inquire.

That is great news Alhamdullilah! :)

You can check out http://islamicfinder.com/ to see if there are any close Masjid's near your area. You should be able to find one Insha'Allaah.

Alternativley, you can type it out here and the forum members here can bear witness for you Insha'Allaah! Just say the following:

Ashhadu anla ilaha il Allah, wa Ashadu anna Muhammad-ur-Rasool-Allah
I bear witness that there is none worthy of Worship except Allaah, and I bear witness that Muhammad (pbuh) is the Messenger of Allaah.

Don't waste any time in saying it. Say it right now, and then you can say it again if you wish at a Masjid Insha'Allaah. :)

[Mahad]

Ash hadu anla ilaha il Allah, wa ash hadu anna Muhammad-ur-Rasool-Allah.

I bear witness that there is no deity but Allah, and I bear witness that Muhammad is His Messenger.

Allah Akbar Allah Akbar Allah Akbar

May Allah make you an instrument to do great work on this earth and grant you heaven's high mead in the hereafter...

Amen Amen

Alhamdullilah!, Welcome to the family brother! :D

May Allaah bestow upon you the best of this world, and the Hereafter and make you of the dwellers of Paradise. :)

Assalaamu Alaykum, Peace be with you, Al Madani and Purest Ambrosia. Though I have recited shahadah interactively here in the presence of my fellow brothers in Islam, I shall venture to my nearest Masjid (which is 2 hours drive away) in the very near future where I will recite shahadah once again in the presence of Muslim adults. This is also the city in which I will join the Muslim Student Association at the university I will be attending next fall (University of Colorado). This is my first step on my journey as a servant of Allah. Alllahu Akbar.

Allahu akbar! God is Great!

Alhamdulillah! All praise and thanks are due to Allah!

Allah has guided you to the truth from among so many in USA who are misguided. From your message I take it that you began studying about 5 years ago. I too am a Caucasian, and became a Muslim in 1982. Insha'Allah, God willing, you will be a staunch believer and not stray from practicing Islam sincerely the rest of your life.

Alhumdulillah, it's wonderful to hear this sister. Do you have paltalk? I've heard people say the shahadah on their mics while witnessed by admins and other paltalk users. It really is a beautiful experience to hear it inshaAllah.

you can download paltalk here inshaAllah. :)

Asalaamu 'alykum (peace be upon you) brother Mahad. :)


May Allaah make the path to paradise easy for you, ameen.

‘Amr ibn Al-‘Aas narrates, “When Islam entered my heart, I went to the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) and said, ‘Give me your hand so that I may pledge allegiance to you.’ The Prophet spread his hand, but I withdrew mine. He said, ‘What is wrong ‘Amr?’ I said, ‘I want to make a condition.’ ‘And what is that?’ he said. I said, ‘That Allah will forgive me.’

Then the Messenger of Allah said, ‘Did you not know that Islam wipes out what came before it, and that Hijrah [Emigration for Allaah's cause] wipes out what came before it and that Hajj [the Pilgrimage performed in Makkah] wipes out what came before it!” (Sahih Muslim).

So all your past mistakes and sins are forgiven inshaa Allaah. :)
