Flame that was beautiful. :wub:

Allahu Akbar. May Allah open more hearts to this beautiful religion. Ameen.

I wanted to give you reps Flame, but its not letting me because apparently I've given you reps last time as well :P So in that case, *virtual hug*

That story was amazing! Masha'Allaah, almost put me into tears.

May Allaah keep yourself and your husband steadfast upon his deen and grant you both happiness in this life and the akhirah Ameen

Jazakallaahu Khaair.
 
Alhamdulillahir rabbil al ameen! Indeed, all praises are for Allah, the Most High. This story of mine is written by Him. It was written in the Divine Book of Decree. And it had to happen exactly the way Allah meant it to. It was He who created me. He who guided me. He who kept me steadfast on the Path. He who protected me, sustained me and kept me safe from harm. Never could I repay Allah for all that He has given me. I consider myself the richest person on earth to have Allah as my lord, Islam as my religion and Muhammad (saws) as my prophet.

I've edited the last part of my story to add in some details.

Glad that my long long story didn't bore you. Alhamdulillahir rabbil al ameen! And if you were able to read my story, there's a certain sister you'd have to thank. She requested me to share the story of my reversion, saying that she found the threads that I had started to be rather inspiring. I really didn't wanna write my story, but I couldn't turn down the request of a believing sister. I just couldn't.

Alhamdulillahir rabbil al ameen! So now that I've fulfilled my promise to you, sister, I guess I can disappear and vanish into thin air. :hiding:

Just kidding. :D
 
Alhamdulillahi Rabbi'l 'Alameen!! WAllahi, sister your story was so beautiful! Alhamdulillah :statisfie

JazakiAllah Khair again for sharing your story with us and may Allah SWT bless you and your family and admit you all into Jannah al Firdaws. Ameen :)
 
Salaam sis, I'm inspired it's an amazing story where patience and persistence are rewarded hamdullah. After just reading part 3 it's amazing that if It's Allah wills it and a person has complete faith in Allah then things will transpire even if it seems that there is no hope. Allah Akbar
 
I'm so glad I read this. I wasn't going to read this because it looked so long lol.. But Alhamdulillah I did!Reading it made me realize that I don't appreciate my religion as much as I should, and that I take it for granted. Thanks for this inspirational post sis =]. Hope to read more of your stories inshAllah.

Yes, you're right, brother. lol. The pressure was on since that time and I did say I would post the story. I did intend to post it...but I hadn't said WHEN. lol. :D

So I kept procrastinating it. Later, later, later, I would tell myself. As you can see, the story is pretty long, with so many things and events that I had to describe. Just knowing how long my story was made me feel tired. So I just kept putting it off. Then one fine day, I received a PM from a sister. She requested me to share my story and she provided me with a link where I could post it. As usual, I replied back to her that I would post my story soon. In my mind, the word "soon" meant probably in a month's time, maybe two month's time. ;D

A few days passed and I still had made no attempt to post my story. I felt guilty and went to the Stories of Muslim Reverts page and declared that I would be posting my story "soon". lol. This was just to give the sister the hint that I hadn't forgotten her request.

Needless to say, everyone said they were WAITING to hear my story. In their view, the word "soon" meant.....in a few hours, maximum one day. lol.

Now the pressure was too great and I couldn't afford to keep anyone waiting. So that's how I ended up writing my reversion story. I did it, but couldn't have done it without your encouragement and support. So most of the credit goes to you guys. lol. :D

And of course things happen only by the will of Allah. So I thank Allah much for giving me the ability to finish writing my story.

Alhamdulillahir rabbil al ameen!

There's too much that happened after my reversion to Islam. I would really have to write another story to tell you all about it.

Maybe I'll post Part 4 "soon". :statisfie

But to tell you in brief, the parents of my husband took his reversion to Islam much better than my parents. Of all religions, my parents hate the religion of Islam the most.

Yes, I and my husband do have Islamic names. Alhamdulillahir rabbil al ameen!

Alhamdulillah! It's also my hope that my family members will revert to Islam. My younger brother has accepted Islam so I and he are the only two members in our family who are Muslims. Maybe I did have something to do with his reversion. Alhamdulillah! It seems that it was a question I had asked him that had got him thinking. :D
 
Wonderful story, sis! (Though I do feel like scum that you started a new thread when I still haven't finished mine to post . . . . :lol: )

Insha'Allah my story will someday have the same happy ending that yours does in regard to yourself and your husband . . . I consider myself very lucky with Allah's grace that my husband not only still wants to learn more, but actively seeks out discussion on Islam. It's a step in the right direction, at least. :)
 
Ya Allah! I finally got a chance to finish reading you story and it touched me to the core! Its amazing how Allah plans, indeed He is the best of planners. May He keep you and your husband on the straight path and give you all the happiness in the world. Ameen.

JazakAllah once again to take your time out and share with us your beautiful story.

Yes, indeed! Allah is the best of planners. Would you believe it but Allah saved me from the sure clutches of death when I was a little girl aged 7. I had gone exploring my neighborhood with a friend and we had wandered to a construction place. There was a tank of water made of cement. We sat on the edge of that tank. I began splashing my feet in the water but then I saw some frogs. I got a bit scared of them. I don't know what happened but my feet slipped and I fell into that tank!

There was nobody around to save me, since it was a deserted place. My friend couldn't do anything and I don't blame her considering she was the same age as I was. I felt myself drowning. I couldn't breathe and I was sinking. I struggled frantically when I thought about the frogs. I desperately wanted to get out. But I knew not how to swim!

I won't tell you what happened next but the fact that I am alive and well today should give you an indication that Allah saved me. If someone hadn't come to rescue me at that precise minute when I was drowning, I would have been dead.

As I look back and think about that incident, I always feel that it's a miracle that I'm alive.

Sorry for the suspense. lol. I'll tell you how I got saved. My friend's aunt had launched a search party for her little girl. Well, she found her little girl but she also found me.

What astounds me is her precise timing. Subhanallah!

If not for her precise timing, there would have been no Flame.

And there wouldn't be anyone to ask all these annoying questions, bugging the life out of everyone. lol. ;D

But Allah is the best of planners.

Alhamdulillahir rabbil al ameen!
 
salamo aleacom warahmato Allah wabarakato sister Flame

Masha Allah. Thank you for sharing your story. I read part 3, and would like to congratulate you again, and your husband and brother for reverting. :smile: Alhamdo lillah. May Allah guide your parents, and may he bless you and your family, and grant you jannat al Firdaws.

wasalamo aleacom warahmato Allah wabarakato
 
Assalamu alaikum sister Flame,
I'm not ashamed to say that your story made me cry and reminded me of Allah S.W.T's greatness Allahu Akbar !
May Allah S.W.T grant you and yours His blessings. Amin
Masalam
