Wa alaikum assalam brother!

It really is wonderful news! It's a source of great joy to all of us to witness that Allah has guided a soul to the truth.
Alhamdulilah.

Allahu akbar!
 
Brother Woodrow, it sounds as if you and I may have much in common.

My story is a simple one. I was raised in a Christian home and after several years of denial, accepted a calling into ministry. It looked, for a brief time, that I might be moving overseas and left my puplit as a result.

For several months previous to this, I had been studying various translations of the Holy Bible and kept discovering the innovation of man, rather than the inspired Word of God. This was a very low point of my life, as I began to question what my service in the puplit had really been worth. I felt very distant from the familiar comfort of my faith.

I began to look into Islam and the more I looked, the more I liked. The Qur'an is not this decade's version of a holy book, rather it is the same, unchanging Qur'an it has been for centuries.

As I continued to examine Islam, I once again could feel God's proximity, a feeling that I had been longing for. As I read bits and snippets from the Qur'an, I began to hear it's verses singing in my heart. I consider myself to be very fortunate, for I have heard God speaking to me, several times in my life and today was one of those days. His message was to clearly ask me what I was waiting for and why was I not declaring my faith. And this just two days before one of the holiest of days in Christianity!

I truly believe in the structure of Islamic faith. Far too many Christians are losing themselves in the relaxed and "feel good" nature of the modern church, whereas Muslims are daily reminded that we are to say and do all things, in fact live our lives to honor Allah (swt).

So you see, I believe that a large part of my heart has been Muslim for many years. It just took time for this "thinking man's" brain to catch up with his heart.

I thank Allah (swt) for blessing me with each and every one of you. Your encouragement and your welcomes are of great worth to me.

It is truly a great piece of news that you have shared with us, and all praise is due to Allaah for guiding you to Islam!

I am sure that we will all try our best to help and support you in any way that we can Insha'Allaah.

May Allaah help you and increase you in knowledge and faith, Aameen!

Congradulations on your brain catching up with your heart! :D

most folks don't realize that Islam is a religion of reason, and as such lacks the contradictions of other religions. lots of folks have links to nifty info and there's always someone here if you need encouragement.

take advantage of those older Brothers that know where to turn.

find good audio of the Qur'an with both English and Arabic. if you think reading a few snippets sang to your heart, wait until you hear some of the Surah's that deal with Abraham(as), Yusuf(as) and Adam(as)! i'm a revert of near 9 months and when i started listening to the Qur'an it was like the Red Sea parting or the Walls of Jericho tumbling down! not only will it make perfect sense, but as you're familiar with the O.T., you will realize what was missing!

May Allah(SWT) guide you and strengthen you. May He(SWT) limit your tests to what you can handle! May He(SWT) increase you in knowlegde that will benefit you and keep from knowlegde that you don't need.

Great revert story masha'Allaah :) I'm sure many of us have experienced similar moments when we get the urge to come closer to Allaah and find it, praise be to Him.

Like brother Yunus said, you can get hold of some good recitations in arabic of qur'an with english translation, verse by verse from this link inshaa'Allaah:

http://www.sabbir.com/DownloadHalal.html


Remember that islaam removes all the sins that came before it, and may Allaah allow us into His paradise which is the true reward for the believers.
 
I appreciate this link, although it keeps me from accomplshing anything else, as I listen to it. The Qur'an overflows with the beauty of Allah (swt), in both the written and recited words.
 
Masha Allah!

May Allah increase our knowledge of Islaam. And may Allah turn our harts to his faith. Allah leads whom he wants. And he loves you Walhamdolilah!

Some advise:
Try not to influence other. Because when you are a beginning Muslim, others can influence you where simply. Try to avois nun Muslims friends. and try to find PRACTISING muslim friends. For they muht teach you about you religion. Look out for sects. The best way is to follow the Quran and the Sunna of our beloved Prophet (Peace and Blessing be upon him). And the best understanding is the understanding of the Sahaba and the Tabi3een and Atba Tabi3een (Followers , an the next) those are cald Selefou Salih.


It is authentically reported on the authority of `Umran Ibn Husain (ra), that he said: "Allah's Messenger said:

"The best of my Ummah is my generation, then those who follow them, then those who follow them'' (Narrated by Muslim)

The Messenger of Allah informs us in this Hadith that the best of this community of Muslims are his Companions and the two or three generations who succeeded them due to their adherence to Islam and their correct beliefs and practices and their freedom from hypocrisy, deviation and innovation. After them, the good will decrease in this Ummah and evil will increase with each succeeding generation until there will be seen people who will belittle the importance of giving testimony so that they will offer it even before it is requested from them and they will betray those who place trust in them and when they swear oaths, they will not keep them and they will become so immersed in the life of this world that obesity will become common amongst them due to their excessive eating of rich foods and lack of work or exercise.

Wassalamo Aleikom
