whats made you change your religion...i like reading the experience people have had in accepting islam.....
Well, the only thing I can say is that I have been truly guided by Allah...I feel it in my heart! No-one suggested it to me, I just woke up one morning with the urge to find out about Islam. When I was at school, I studyed the five pillars of Islam for Religious studies, but that was 20 years ago, and I have been lost, trying different things (not all of them healthy!!) and now, I am SO grateful I have arrived at this point. Allahu Akbar!!!
I'm having a great time learning how to pray properly so I'm looking forward to my trip to the Mosque on Friday!!!!
Hi! Yeah, it's crazy adjusting to the prayers etc, but well worth it. It's all so exciting!!! I bought myself a beautiful new Quran too!

Sister Sahirah,
Getting up so early for Fajr is probably what can be one of the most challenging things for a new Muslim, especially when it begins at a very early hour, as it is for you in England. Though, it is well worth it like you said. InshaAllah things will get easier for you. MashaAllah on you getting yourself a new Quran, which translation did you get? If I can be of any assistance at all please let me know, I will help in any way I can, insha 'Allah.

Fajr is at 2.41 tomorrow morning!!! It's gonna be interesting to see what happens to the prayer times as the year draws on though. In winter the sun doesn't rise until round about 7.30am and sets about 4.30pm!
I bought the Abdullah Yusef Ali translation, it's fantastic!!!
That's wonderful Barb, thank you so much for your help, I have so much to learn!!!
which mosque are you visiting.....regent park.........
Well, I do hope to get down there. I actually live about 25 miles outside central London (although still classed as London). I must admit, I am a little shy about visiting the little mosque near my home! It's based in a small building inside a park and I only ever see men praying there - no women. I would love to get down to Regents Park with my daughter...insha'Allah we'll get there!!
Hey there sis...no, I'm quite genuine and I don't understand why anyone would do that, how bizarre!!!! Great to meet you!!!

We have absolutely no reason to doubt your sincerity in reverting to Islam. As a word of explanation for the question, we have had some new members on LI who also "reverted" and then very shortly after supposedly left Islam. In some cases I believe that these are really Christians who just pretend to revert to Islam in order to spread discord and try to lead Muslims astray by asking questions that they gather from anti-Islam web sites. I welcome you again from the bottom of my heart.
As far as translations I really like the Majestic Quran, but it seems that it will be hard to find. By the way the Yusuf Ali translation is the one that I read over 26 years ago before I became a Muslim.
Congratualtion sister, May SWT make all the affairs easy for u and inshallah make this journey peaceful.
Ask away, we will do our best to help inshallah.
Best regards
