I feel so welcomed here, like were all one big happy family..
Heres my story:
I wasn't much of a religious person, i mean I've always believed in a God but i didn't really act much on it until a few years ago. I watched a tv channel called God TV which is a Christian television channel and i became a believer while watching a show on there. Overtime, i read the bible less and less and stopped practicing, this was the first backslide of many from the christian faith. About a year ago i looked into Islam and read the Shahadah, but i wasn't sincere so of course, it didn't last very long. I turned back to christianity for a short while before a big gap where i didn't practice any religion at all, i was too busy having fleshly relations with my ex-girlfriend and smoking pot. I've always had a deep respect for Islam, i dont know what it is, even when i was a christian i really had a deep respect for Islam. There was a muslim girl at college called Zorah who i talked to about Jesus (when i was a christian) and basically she got me interested even further in Islam. So a few days ago i began watching videos on YouTube of Islam and converts to Islam from christianity and catholicism and theres a guy on YouTube with the username "ummahfilms" and he really made sense. He really spoke to my heart, what he said made so much sense it was unbelievable. So i started watching more videos. I saw a videos with Nasheeds playing in the background, one of which was a beginner introduction to Islam. After this i decided i had to get a copy of the Qur'an to read. So i've had a fairly active religious life over the past 2 or 3 years but out of it all, the past few days when i've been truly sincere about accepting Islam have been the highlight. I love Allah, i love his messenger Mohammed and i love my fellow brothers and sisters. This is truly a wonderful, amazing, truthful faith which i intend to pursue until the day Allah has planned for my death.
Over the next few days i intend to locate a Masjid (mosque).
I also intend to learn Arabic so i can read the Qur'an in its original form. I know it wont be easy and it will take years and years but im sure that Insha'Allah then i will accomplish this feat.
Allahu Akbar!! Al Hamdulillah.
