after 9/11 the enemies of islam really used that as an excuse to portray muslims as violent and evil but Subhanallah that incident, as much as they portrayed muslims as being really bad people in the media, it gave people, who have not heard about islam, to study about it and amazingly many people converted to islam.

ALLAHU AKBAR!!!
GOD IS REALLY GREAT!!!

MUSLIMS LEAD BY GOOD EXAMPLES

assalamu aleykum warahmatullahi wabarakatuhu.

I wanted to share something personal that i had experienced on muslim's behavior.i am a born muslim.this is something i have seen and i also got first hand information from my friends.
my friends are university students and they live in the campus hostels. The non muslims living there do not care about wasting resources, be it water or anything.
But according to Islam Israaf is prohibited so it does bother them and they help prevent it as much as they can. an example :They leave taps open and water spils but no non muslim will ever go to close the taps its only the muslim..and subhanallah they are REALLY shocked & amazed when one does it!!
As muslims we should as much as possible display our islamic values 4 it can be a reason 4 people to embrace islam..

TRULY ISLAM IS A COMPLETE WAY OF LIFE!!!

very nice article believer

Salaamualaikum warahmatullah Niler.... thank you...:statisfie It's from Allah SWT. :statisfie

Brother believer..that was touching story. Subhaanallaah. Allah guides whom He wills. You were sincere in search and you finally found. Hopefully your family havent broken down.

:statisfie I pray so hard about it.... as a matter of fact... my mother is living sepperately from my father now... my brother and sister live their own lives and my sister despices me.... my christian wife is also not happy about my reverssion.... but she tries hard not to show it since I have been a better person ever since... I am away from my family right now for more than a year already due to a project here in Saudi... but I do pray Allah would touch all of them to also discover Islam...

I also realize lately that Islam is a personal journey... each one should take... and that no one can force anyone to embrace it... if Allah wills then no one can stop one from becoming a Muslim.

My Muslim sponsor also told me that I will sepperate or divorce my wife... I really don't know.... and I don't care.... I still don't believe in divorce and if there is going to be one - it will not come from me. I still pray for her and whatever Allah would do to my life.... I will only submit, surrender and obey.

I had another christian lady who wanted me to marry her.... but it seems like she only wanted me and was not really sincere about making a reversion to islam. I asked her to give me a translation of Surrah al Fatihah in her native toungue... since she claimed to be a master of it (the language)... and 3 days went by, she didn't prioritize it and came up with many excuses. I therefore conclude she is not really sincere.

Anyway, I still think sometimes, Sabr is on my menu for these days... I am already happy being a Muslim and I enjoy a life without cares... because it is a fact.... Allah takes care of everything. And I am only focused in my Jihad.... the struggle to keep walking into the straight path. Jihad happens all the time in the hearts and the minds of men... this is the battlefield... within... and we need to pray always so we will be winning all the time against the evil suggestions of shaytan. Alhamdilillah, I am walking under a strong light now than before. :statisfie

Allah Hafiz...

 

[believer]

believer your reversion is so amazing... Allahu Akbar...

Thank you brother... Allah is more amazing than my story.... I can never thank Allah enough for the mercy and grace he has bestowed upon me.... and I can only seek more to please Allah by being the best in what I do all the time... it also means being vigilant about the enemies of Islam.... meaning.... stopping people from spreading hatred and prejudice to Muslims.... and at the same time, promoting the Truth to the world in any small ways we can. Being in a cyber community is one way. And being in a public service office is another... or even as an industry player is another. We have a duty to Allah and that is to perform our rights and responsibility to our families, neighbors, community and humanity in general.

Allah hafiz!:statisfie

My reversion story…

I came to know Islam via my husband MustafaMc. In the summer of 2001, he began practicing Islam again so, I watched him pray many of his 5 daily prayers, saw him go through fasting etc. At the time of course I still considered myself to be a Christian. We would discuss Islam and the differences & similarities of the two religions. The more we talked about it, the Islamic faith began to make much more sense to me than the Christian faith that I grew up in. As I began to read as well as continue to discuss things with my husband, I knew in my heart that my beliefs were actually the Islamic faith, not Christianity. Especially the One God that has no partners concept. I realized I saw Jesus as teacher and messenger and it began to make less sense to me that God would have a son. I also had come to believe that Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) to be the last Messenger of God. As time went by, my faith began to grow more and more and I knew I was on the right path, the path to embracing Islam. In July 2003 in a small Masjid in rural Mississipppi, I took Shahadah, Alhamdullilah!

Yes Ahki, I feel so blessed that Allah guided both of us to Islam. He first guided my husband and then in turn guided me as well. It is such a wonderful blessing that we share the same religious beliefs. It was such a joyous day for us both when I reverted and took my Shahadah. Insha Allah the same will happen with your wife.

Salam Akhi, Seeing the light is exactly what happened with me when I embraced Islam. I feel a peace in Islam that I never experienced in years that I held the Christian belief which was a couple or so years shy of 40 years.

Mashaallah Brother!!!! WELCOME to LI!!!!

please share your Reversion story here in Saudi.... (post it in the Stories of Reversion thread)... It will be interesting to read it.

Salaam bro!

I'm a Christian Catholic by birth, I can not explain and I don't know why on my early age (9 years old) I give-up the religion of my parents. I became an atheist for 20 years. I can say that the Bible lead me to Islam. Early 80's when I got a copy of Bible, and after I read it, I have one question that no one in any Christian sects in the Philippines gave me an acceptable answer.

This is my question ...... "If we (humankind) belong to one man (Adam) and one woman (Hawa), why theres a black, white, brown, red people etc.?"

I remember one Pastor gave me an answer. He said, there's Adam and Eve in America, there's Adam and Eve in Europe, there's Adam and Eve in Africa, there's Adam and Eve in Asia. I'm shocked and speechless while I'm listening to him. After that conversation, I feel very bad and very angry to all Pastor or religious leader in Christianity and because I believe that they are fooling their members.

Before I came here in Saudi Arabia, I already feel and believe that there is only one God, but the problem I don't know Him and I dont' know where and how I can find Him and the true religion.

When I'm already here in Saudi Arabia, I can not explain before why all my friends is Muslim. A Somalian and Yemen nationals. I met their fathers and brothers and I can't believe that they will treat me nicely. All of them told me to accept Islam, but I refuse because they can not explain to me clearly who is Allah and what is Islam.

And then one day, I woke up and I feel that I want to study Islam. I found one Islamic Center here in Jeddah and I join to the class for the new Muslim. I attend 4 weeks in Islamic Center before I finally accept Islam.

Jazakallah alkhair.

Alhamdulillah brother.... by the way... what was the answer to your question?... about the different races of humanity?.... I know there is a verse or some verses in the qur'an about it and I have some ideas about it too.... but I am interested to know what did the Iman told you about it. Please shed some light here. Thanks!

Salaam bro!

Wa 'alaikum salam wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuh.

He is not Imam, he's just a volunteer in Islamic Center. For short, that volunteer in Islamic Center told me that Allah (سبحانه و تعالى) created Adam (عليه السلام) from different kinds (color) of soil.
