As the end of the academic year draws close, it has been a year of great learning, not about science or maths or english but the most Important knowledge that of Islaam. With a couple of brothers hosting lunchtime lessons, sharing knowledge of the conditions of shahada and fundamentals of tauheed to the frequently asked questions on Islaam. At my college alone we have encountered a couple of people taking their testimony of faith.
Personally I know of at least 3 take their shahada in my college this past year, and I have heard of many friends of their taking shahada too, I decided to write this to inform fellow muslims that a couple of nights ago another sister too shahada at the masjeed.
On top of this many non-practising muslims have also returned to the masjids and are slowly regaining Islam not by name but by action.
Salam Aleykum Wa Rahmetulahi Wa Berekatu
EDIT:
On my way to work I saw a friend I had not seen since secondary school, about 3 years or so and I had always thought he was Muslim, since he is from an easter european place, So I began talking to him and was eager to tell him about my reversion, and little that I knew I asked are you muslim and he said yea, so I thought hmm, and then while talking about the death of his sister I somehow asked is your family Muslim and he replied no.
Takbeer, Allahu Akbar, then I realised that he was a revert and Alhamdulilah Inshallah I took his number and we plan on going masjid together soon.
Thought I'd share this.

The path is long but I hope we meet,
After the grave and the Day, in paradise in bliss upon a reclined seat.
A traveler traveling - travelled from shirk to tawheed,
If I'm remembered for anything - let it be the Mercy I seek.
Allahu Akbar! Masha Allah thats excellent news. May Allah grant her Jannah. Insha Allah keep up the good dawah at your college...Its very exciting when someone take the Shahada...

Expose my ignorance! I am not a Muslim. What is Shahadah? I get a general idea from reading these posts, but would like a clear definition.
Thanks.
Hi the other one,
The shahada is the declaration of faith. One must recite the shahada to convert to Islam. The shahada is declaring that there is no god but Allah and Muhammad is His servant and messenger.
