Hi Aurora! Well, I didn't leave any other religion to convert to Islam. I have been searching for the truth, and Allah guided me home.

Why did you chose Sahira as your Arabic name?

It means 'lover of the night', or something along those lines. I feel closest to Allah at night when it is quiet (in my house, anyway!

)

Hi Aurora!!

I have never been an atheist or an agnostic. Not at all. Since I was about 11 I have been searching for what I could call 'the truth' in my heart.

Hi!! Well, I found out that the one near me only caters for brothers, but no worries, one of the brothers here on LI found a mosque nearby that has room for sisters too...

Hey there Sahirah!
Too bad the one closest to you only caters to brothers but Masha 'Allah that one of our brothers here at LI located one nearby that you can attend, insha 'Allah. That is one thing that I really like about the forum here, the brothers and sisters, try to help each other.

When you do attend the mosque, maybe you will meet some sisters that can be helpful to you in your new way of life, insha 'Allah.

We want to help you any way that we can but, it helps to have someone near you as well. That is one thing that I wish I had more of here in my area, more Muslimahs to interact with regularly.

Hi there and sorry for the late reply, I've been at my parents' house in Manchester for a few days!!

We're back at home now and I miss them terribly.

I think Islam found me, rather than me finding it...anyone else experienced it that way?
