Dont you love it when you feel fine then you remember something and it just bothers you to death!! well here is the thing... Like I have said.. I had a prior interest in Islam several years ago... in fact... like ummmmm many years ago? their was many times long ago I have said the Shahada but like I dunno the very next day I was like "forget it!" I have probably said the Shahada like.... 2 times before this current time but each time within a day I gave up and just mocked Islam like I was never interested... I dont think I really got much of what I did either... you see I am wondering if those where valid? I am hoping not I had committed allot of sins since then lots small some pretty big, and when I did my Shahada I was so happy that those previous sins where now forgiven because of it but now I am questioning whether the ones from the past where valid? I dont believe I was really sincere....I just did it and.... forgot about it within a day or two.... so what? where they valid? (I hope not) if they where... are my sins since then still erased because of my current Shahada?

Allahu A'lim (Allah knows) really, none of us can say. But if you take Shahadah it must be sincere. Again, Allahu A'lim.
Should I seek a source of law other than God, when it is He Who has sent down unto you the Book (Qur'an) fully explained? And those whom We have given them the Book know that it has been sent down from the Lord with truth, so be not of those in doubt.

Honestly I dont think they where back then I was looking into all sorts of religions mainly I was going with what seemed to me to look cool.... besides if I was sincere in my Shahada's of back then surely I would of continued on with Islam? I think that shows I couldn't give a crap about Islam? but if it was sincere... and the one i performed 2 days ago was also sincere does that still wipe all my past sins clean?

Nobody apart from Allah [swt] can say whether your sins are wiped clean or not. If you now consider yourself a Muslim, you have just got to continue living life as a Muslim, doing good deeds and trying your best to prevent from doing bad deeds.

Yes akhee, it did. The one which was sincere and from the heart. That's what I believe anyway. Allah (SWT) knows best. He is oft-forgiving, most merciful, and most understanding.
Yes now is the time I actually consider myself a Muslim back then I was really doing it for shock value and such.... I had no full understanding of such things..... I was not worried the way I am now as to wether I did it right and such I just did not care but I will continue to live as a Muslim and do good deeds but just in case.... I will ask for forgivness of one particular big sin

Brother, I too am a revert... and I can tell you that you are in for a long but rewarding journey.
Where is what I can tell you about Islam and being a Muslim. It's not something you're interested about one day, and the next day you forget about it.
Islam is not going to Chruch on Sundays, being a good person for that 1 day, and sinning the rest of the week.
Being a Muslim is not a religion, its a way of life. There is no faking or acting, it comes from the heart. Its a submission to Allah. 24 hours a day, 365 days a week.
thank you you have shown me that just by the fact I am really trying to follow Allah to the best of my ability I have Sincerity and was sincere in my Shahadah thanks
