for those that reverted to Islam...

[Flame of Hope]

Alhamdulillahir rabbil al ameen! I have finally uploaded the introduction to Islamic Boot Camp, an audio program I had created specifically for new reverts to Islam..... uh.... that was more than 7 years ago. But hey, the subject is perennial, undying and eternal. So I got it up and running exactly the way I had recorded it then.

Watch it here. Oh no! You're all gonna know what I sound like!!! I had betta hide. :hiding:

 

[Who Am I?]

Sister Flame, you sound younger than you are, as I said on the other forum.

I like the shameless plugs too. ;D

I need a microphone so I can practice for my radio show.

Then you will all tremble at the sound of my non-distinct American accent.

Assalamu alaykum.

I knew that a day would come when I'd be interviewed by the King. lol.

Assalamu alaykum.

Walaykum salaam.

I used to do my own fake radio show as a kid and record it. I used fake voices and sometimes got some of my friends involved.

I have trained my whole life for this day. ;D

 

[Starrynight]

^ You had a fake radio show?? Me too! I still have the tapes. We could be co-hosts!

 

[SFatima]

"tip toes in, they had fake radio shows too? ahahaha, tip toes out" ( nobody can beat my fake radio shows though hmph )

great idea sister riham, you speak great, good effort MashAllah

 

[Starrynight]

allright! forum-wide radio shows!

 

[Starrynight]

^ fake radio show that is

 

[Who Am I?]

Yes, I KNEW I wasn't the only one! They all laughed at me, but I knew that I couldn't be the only one...

I found some of the tapes many years later, when I was moving some stuff around. Unfortunately I think most of them are lost now.

I have thought about hosting an internet radio show for a while now. Maybe we could do something like that...

 

[Flame of Hope]

Mr. Forgetful!!! Are you there?

Okay. It's a deal. I didn't know it was going to be this easy to get interviewed. (Hides behind the curtain).... I had someone interview me once... uh.. on TV. He was so nervous, he didn't know what he was saying...

It could have been a great interview if it hadn't been for that. The topic was great too. The show was entitled "Before You Die".

So King of Nines, if you think you can do a better job, get out your microphone and lets talk. lol. And sure you can have StarryNight and SFatima on standby to help you in case anything goes wrong. Let's start a talk show... well, on radio.

 

[Who Am I?]

OK sister Flame, it's a deal. I will need to purchase a microphone for my computer and then maybe we can set something up.

The two sisters can be my co-hosts.

Maybe I'll even talk in a cheesy Southern American accent and play the role of ignorant redneck just for laughs. ;D

When I first read "southern american accent", I thought you were going to blabbering away in spanish or portuguese ;D

But I then realised you will more likely employ southern twang

 

[Starrynight]

^ That's what I thought too!!!

 

[Who Am I?]

I can speak Spanish, so that is possible.

So I can do both.

 

[Ummshareef]

salamo alaikum ummshareef,

MashAllah so great to hear about your efforts ,it helps other reverts to move ahead with their declaration to their family/social circle too, may Allah swt reward you in this life and hereafter for taking this step and keep you strong in it, may Allah swt be with you all the way , ameen.



peace!

:wa: SFatima,

JKK for your kind words. Yes, I agree that many reverts need a little push to get them to tell their families and friends aqbout their reversion, but the truth is that it should be the greatest news that we ever bear, even if the family may not see it like that straight away. Insha'allah, in time the kuffr family members will realise how much adopting Islam has benefited their sister/brother/daughter/son. Even my parents - who have never really come to terms with the fact that their little daughter is now a grown up Muslimah with a happy Islamic marriage - admit that I am a much more contented, calm, and fulfilled person than I was before my reversion alHumdulillah.

That's what I want to do. I want to show my family that I am a better man now than I was before. I don't drink anymore, I don't smoke anymore, I don't curse anymore, and I am generally more content than I have been in a long time.

You don't happen to have put on weight, too, do you?

Whoot whoot! nice job! I am trying to stop swearing I do so good but sometimes slip up. But I have to break it before Ramadan!

Can you write spanish too? I know of this religious school who wanted a person proficient in English Spanish and french, they wanted Islamic stuff translated. if you know anyone, do let me know. A muslim person would be preference.

Si, puedo escribir en espanol mejor que puedo hablar.

I can write Spanish, yes. I just got a new Spanish dictionary the other day for that purpose.

I don't know any French though, and very little Arabic.

You don't happen to have put on weight, too, do you?

Actually I think I have lost weight since I quit drinking and am eating less thanks to my practice fastings for Ramadan, and the fact that I try to drink more water now. My pants are looser than they used to be.

Whoot whoot! nice job! I am trying to stop swearing I do so good but sometimes slip up. But I have to break it before Ramadan!

I confess that sometimes I still slip up when I am frustrated or irritated. But I make a conscious effort not to curse anymore.

Oh, and I just got a new microphone, so watch out... internet radio show, here I come.
