..the thread I know a lot of you have been waiting for.

I almost didn't do it, but I decided to go ahead and take the plunge anyway. So I took my shahada today.

I feel like a big weight has been lifted from my heart. The old order of my life has passed away, and the old life is gone. This is the dawn of a new day for me.

I know it won't all be easy from here, but I feel at peace right now. For the first time in a long time, I feel good about myself.
 
Salaam

congrats welcome to Islam - May Allah make this journey easy for you

peace
 
:sl:

I'm all ears! I want to know all the details. The whole story.... from beginning to end. What happened when you went to the masjid? Who did you meet there? What did they say? What did you say? etc. etc. etc. The whole drill.

The story-telling session is now in your court I'm afraid. And I get to be among the audience for a change. lol.
 
dude seriously, i subscribed to the thread just to hear your story, lol. Welcome to Islam and May Allah guide us all to the Straight Path
 
alhamdulillah!

Allah SWT has just erased all your past bad deeds and sins, so you are practically now starting your life with clean slate like a baby just born, but a wisdom of a grown up man.
Please make du'as (supplications, prayers) as much as you can, and please remember all of us here in your dua too. Insha Allah.
 
SERIOUSLY???
Masha Allah!!! Allahu Akbar!!!

What a very very blessed day ??? Just a Guy & Just a Girl took Shahada on the same day???

Subhanallah!!! :Koran::cresentbl

May Allah make this transition easy for both of you brother & sister. Ameen

You will be in my DUAA and I know you will pass all the trials inshallah, you both entered this Deen with full knowledge.

Subhanallahhh!!! Oh I am just so happy to hear a good news,, alhamdollelah rabil Alameen

.... plus tell us what non-Muslim "Just a guy" used to think about Islam and Muslims and what a Muslim "Just a guy" now thinks about Islam and Muslim and his own previous life. What Muslim name you chose for yourself or you still doing with your old name and so many things... come on!
 
Masha'Allah! Al-hamdulillah I am very happy for you. Welcome back home and to the family, brother. It is indeed a new life, the minute you say the shahada all your past sins are erased, and you are as clean as a new born baby.

May Allah make everything easy for you.

Subhaanallah (Glory be to Allah), and all praise be to Allah who guided you to Islam. This is wonderful news. Welcome home.

Well alright then. Went to bed after I posted, got up to pray, went back to sleep, got to work and I'm on page 2 now.

A few questions answered here.

I kept my name. I didn't feel right in taking a Muslim name to use around my Muslim brothers and then using my old name around my old friends and family. Plus I didn't want to disrespect my parents by abandoning the name they gave me. That just didn't feel right to me. So I kept my English birth name. It is a Biblical name anyway. I am still the same person, outside. But I am a different man inside.

I've been working on my long story post and will have it up when it is complete. Hopefully that will answer all of your questions.
 
:sl:

the Prophet, peace be upon him, came to perfect good manners, to enjoin good and to forbid evil. as Muslims we "seem" to be experts in forbidding evil, ESPECIALLY in others. we've forgotten good manners and our negativity makes people ignore any "goodness" that might come from us.

so I ask Allah to make us experts in showing and having "good manners' and may He make us also experts in "enjoining good!" and when it comes to forbidding evil, May Allah make us experts in forbidding ALL the evil that we ourselves do and pay more attention to THAT than what is done by others. Ameen.

Masalaam
