What made me start studying Islam was when I went to 'umra with my mother, sister and brother. I wasn't really practicing then and was quite young. While I was in Makkah this feeling overcame me that I never felt before, it was truly amazing... it completely overwhelmed me. And the first time I made sajdah in front of the Ka'bah I just broke down into tears and I just knew there was a real purpose to my life, and I had to seek it. Makkah still feels like home now even though I was only there for a week of my life. When I came back home I started reading about Islam personally, and a few weeks later 9/11 came. It was a scary time as everyone living in the West knows. However, this didn't deter me. I kept on reading more into Islam and I feel head over heels in love with it of course. The thing that really sealed my faith was contemplating over the blessings Allah has given us. And after reading surat Ar-Rahman... I knew I could not deny His signs any more. So that was me, at the age of thirteen. The strange thing is that even though I was born into the religion and have a Muslim family I knew next to nothing about Islam. Alhamdulillah, I don't know what I did for Allah to bless me with Islam, but I know I can never be grateful enough for the most wonderful of blessings which is Islam.
A few months ago, I didnt know much on Islam and never researched it, never read Islamic books (ecept the odd 1 or 2) and wouldnt've thought to join Islamic forums. Then one day I had a burning desire to research on Islam, I research it on the internet, something I didnt do before, and read the Islamic books in my house that were untouched by me for months. Prior to my desire to research Islam, I had asked Allah to guide me and my family closer to Him, I feel this may be Allah's response as I find myself discussing Islam on Islamic forums almost everyday and reading 500+ page books on Islam and Prophets (PBUT) in great interest and increasing my Faith Alhumdulillah.
I remember one time it was a Eid Party at this amusement park reserved for muslims ... and my annoyin couz kept on askin for money so i gave all my money until i had no money to eat so then my aunts asked me to get them chairs and the were like 2km away al the way at the end of the park and when i came bak they gave me 20$ that is excatly double the amount of money i had and gave away.
Subhanallah

I think my reverting was a sign in itself. Last March when I said the shahadah it was after many years of having a good intellectual understanding of Islam, but I had no acceptance of the meaning. Then one day last March, I read the Qur'an again for the umpteenth time. For some reason, it suddenly took on a whole new meaning and feeling. I could not put it down. I felt I had to absorb every word and thought. I do not know how many hours I spent just reading through it, and with each reading it was like looking into a new world. I then said the Shahadah and that Friday said it again at the Mosque.
I felt uneasiness in my heart for days to put it brief, and I fell down in prostration to God in a purified state of wudoo one night during Isha Prayer time and said: "Dear God, guide me, if you are the God of the Jews, guide me, if you are God of the Christians, guide me, if you are Allah, the God of Islam, guide me. All I want to do is serve you and thank you for the blessings you have given me and my family. I beg you with all my heart, God, guide me." (I know that the same God revealed originally all 4 books, but stuff happened to me which made me want God to guide me with all my heart) This was at the time of Isha prayer, I had decided I would only pray the 4 farz and no more, but suddenly, I had a strange and warm feeling, UNlike any other before. Something made me pray not only the 4 farz, but the 2 sunnat, 2 nafl, 3 witr 2 nuffal and an extra 2 nuffal prayer, with so much devotion that I had not had before. Then the feeling disappeared. I cant describe it but it was incredibly warm and gave great confort.
Then I went to bed but before going to sleep I opened up a book called Road to Paradise and read the Qur'anic verses in which God says he is indeed the Creator, and the feeling returned for a few seconds, then disappeared. I tried to regurgitate that feeling, but no matter how hard I tried, I could not. I then realised that God had answered me and that He was the God of Islam, Almighty Allah. God has guided me. I got guided in such a beatiful way I just cant describe it fully, only He and I can fully appreciate it.
