Hello everyone I am a 18 year old black male that stays on the southside of Chicago. I am a living witness to the Greatness of Allah. After being introduce to Islam by my Aunt, Uncle and Cousin my life hasn't been the same for the most part. It was wonderful waking up with family on the same page about religion. Soon I had to return to my own household and my parents are Christian. So they didnt respect me or my beliefs. I had stop eating pork, swearing as much, smoking and drinking. Trying everything possible to stay focus and be clear. Me not being around any positive people in my life started me on the wrong track a couple of months later. I stop praying started smoking again and everything I had once put behind me was now apart of my daily life. A long story short life started going down hill for me almost got killed, got expelled from college and alot of things started to click in my mind again. I wasnt praying anymore or anything. I basiclly lost all HOPE once again. Life wasnt getting any better people getting kiled all day,our women molested even worse. I had to meditate and realize it is really coming to an end. I had to remember about those nights watching the Minister or reading Message to the Black Man that you have to be strong at these times. Trying to find myself once again I go jogging to clear my mind. Just a feeling telling me to look up and seeing what I cant believe but I do put me on track again. I am a believer once again. ALLAH U AKBAR
