I turned to Islam in the past year, and the situation is that at times, alhamdulillah, my Iman is really high and I fell very good about myself, but eventually what happens is I do something bad and I feel terrible about myself, what should I do to maintain a high Iman?
Another thing is, I used to listen to Music, and I have a large CD collection, should I get rid of all of it because I was thinking if I leave any haraam aspects with me, it could be a bad influence, so what should I do trash the CD's?!
Yea sister/ brother, I think that you should throw all the CDs. Having them with you will urge you sometimes to listen to them. And as all of us know, where there is music, that is disobediant of Allah, Shaitaan will definitely participate in that.
About your other problem, I would like to tell you to forget about the past matters and focus on the present to look forward in the future. Continue to do your Ibadaats and never try to think over past matters.
you don't have to throw it...you can do a jumbo sale for the non-muslims

toss them .. cus you dont want to spread what you you belive is haram to other people you will be concider a hyprocrite. we are suppose to call non muslims to islam, not fule their ignorents
~May Allah bless,guide,protect all of the ummah, may he protect us from shaytan and his whispers and the mischif of the people and the kaffers. May he never take us off the stright path ameen~ZaKiRaH
Well said sis_rena, sister syilla we were commanded to help one another in righteousness and piety and not in sin and rancour.
(see the end of verse-2 in Al-Maa'edah).
Throw your Music CDs away Anon, May Allah give you the thabaat in doing so!

keep practicing islam, seek refuge in Allah, keep your prayers, allways ask forgivness. just keep doing it, remeber your new . we are human . tho that is not a exscuss to do bad things.. but we cant know everything (being a converted muslim) at once. even tho we want to . With time. and sabr (paitcents) we will be the muslims that he intended. Just keep seeking refuge in Allah.

no, I'm not a convert, when I mean turning to Islam, I mean caring about the deen more...I used to not care about Islam at all, that's what I mean
i remember there is one hadith...about a sahabah received a silk robe...and prophet (pbuh) said is okay for him to sell it
maybe someone can help me with the hadith

women can wear silk...but either way, we are in these kuffaar countries for da'wah, or at least we should be and even if selling these are permissible, it is always better to set an example

dont know if anyone has suggested this...but you could sell them and then give the money to charity
and about the imaan thingy, you could try reading, listening to the Qur'anic recitations

Salalalikum
Just throw away the cds, About a year ago I had music cds and after I found out that is haram I threw them away with confidence because music will distract you away from Allah SWT. And I feel happy that I threw them away.
Please throw the music cds away and make Allah SWT happy.
You can draw something on the cd and sell it as a handicraft.... I've seen many of it in Central Market, Kuala Lumpur.
yeah good idea...
to recycle is much better...more environment friendly...
we throw enough rubbish on this earth
