I can't figure out how to change my religion listing.
 
Salaams to you.... and alhamdulillah.

I see that you have been a member for a number of years, but not so active. What was it that made you 'revert'? Perhaps you would care to share?

May you have a smooth journey in the practice of the Deen.

May Allah bless you.


:peace:

Thanks for the reply. Basically there were a few issues that caused me to convert. The first of which is that there is evidence that the Bible has been changed over the years but we still have one of the original Qurans and it has not been changed in the least. Also, the concept of one God instead of Trinity makes much more sense to me. How could God have a need for a son?

Yes you are indeed! But something I was reminded of last night watching Mufti Menk on you tube, is that your sins are 0 but your good deeds remain in your account. What a head start you have got! Alhamdulillah!

:peace:
 
Mashallah Holly. I am so happy for you. Congratulations.

I hope you get all the support and advice to become a wonderful Muslim lady. Be sure to check out if there are any groups for new Muslims in your area.
 
Salaam / Peace Be Upon You.

Mashallah! WELCOME WELCOME WELCOME to Islam! :welcome::rock::bravo::awesome::clever::beard::muslimah:

May Allah forgive all your previous sins and keep you on the path to Jannah!


P.S Did a Christian forum members post get removed or something?
 
MashaAllah! Welcome sister! And feel free to ask if you have any questions about anything. :statisfie
 
Hi everyone. I am back to being a Catholic again. My doubts about Christianity were eliminated. I cannot be a Muslim. I was not even 100% firm in my decision to be a Muslim. I am still a Catholic. I went to Confession this morning.
 
Hi Holly,

Conversion to Islam is not a joke. We advise you to study the religion in greater depths and take your decision with absolute certainty. May Allah :swt: guide you to the Truth.

Thanks for the advice. I appreciate it. And I know that its not a joke. I wasn't taking it as a joke. It's just that I could not fully believe in Islam. I thought I was convinced but I was not 100% convinced and I still had doubts.

As Muslims, we don't confess or disclose our sins to any human being, but to God directly, no middle man involved between ourselves and God. Prayer is directly to God alone, and forgiveness is directly from God alone.

We have some beautiful prayers for forgiveness, a the translations of couple of which I've put below:

"Oh Allah, You are my Lord, There is no God (and none worthy of worship) except you. You created me, and I am your slave, and I abide by Your covenant and promise as best I can. I seek refuge in You from the evil which I have committed. I acknowledge Your favor and blessings upon me and I acknowledge my sins, so forgive me, for verily none can forgive sin except You."

We also say the same prayer that Adam and Eve said after eating from the tree:

"Our Lord! We have wronged ourselves, and if You do not forgive us, and do not have mercy on us, we shall be among the losers."

Allah says, "Seek forgiveness from your Lord, indeed He is Most Forgiving."

and

"...Indeed, I am near. I answer the prayer of the supplicant when he calls on me. So let them respond to Me [by obedience] and believe in Me that they may be [rightly] guided."

Prayer is also directly to God alone. We do not pray to or through saints, nor ask priests to absolve our sins. We do not pray to Jesus or Mary (peace be upon them both) or anyone else.

There is only One God. He alone should be worshipped. He is our Creator, Sustainer, and Lord.

He does not beget, nor is He begotten. He has no sons, daughters, spouses, siblings, parents, cousins, or relatives of any sort.

He is eternal and does not die. He does not depend on anyone/anything yet we all depend on Him. He is free of all want and need.

There is nothing like Him. He is all Hearing, all Seeing, all Knowing, all Powerful, Incomparable, the Creator of the Universe.

He did not/does not, become flesh, dwell in human or animal bodies, nor are there any incarnations of Him. He is not mixed up in His creation in any way.

He is not composed of persons, nor a trinity. There are no secondary, lesser, greater, equal, or multiple gods, nor any intermediaries. And no denying of God's existence either.

There are no sharers, associates, persons or parts whatsoever in His exclusive Divinity. Simply, He is One, in every sense. - See more at: Leaflet on Islam

God has no sons, no 3 in 1's, He is truly ONE. He does not beget, nor is He begotten. He has no sons, daughters, brothers, sisters, parents, cousins, nephews or relatives of any sort. He is eternal and does not die. He did not and does not, dwell in human or animal bodies, nor are there any incarnations of Him (as per Christian and Hindu belief). He is not mixed up in His creation in any way.

We don't believe mankind had a broken relationship with God, or fell out of grace with God, or that babies are born into a state of sin. God forgave Adam and Eve, and forgives us too, when we ask sincerely, resolving to try not to repeat past mistakes. No sacrifice is required, so it is truly forgiveness as opposed to atonement. Allah can forgive us freely with just His will when we ask sincerely.

In Islam, while guidance and the right way has been shown to us, we, as humans, have the freedom to choose, to err, and to repent sincerely, and should we do so, we will find Allah Kind & Forgiving, forgiving freely and abundantly with just His will, no sacrifice needed, because it is truly forgiveness rather than atonement. For all and any in the posterity of Adam, the door of returning to the right path is always open, prior to death. We give Christians and all non-Muslims an invitation to return to this right path, the path of all the Prophets, the right path that has always been.

All the Prophets taught the same thing, and we're following the same Ultimate Universal Truth that they all preached, which is to worship the One True God without any kind of associate in His Exclusive Divinity, be that in the form of a son or otherwise. Blaspheming/rejecting any of the Prophets how they are in the Bible takes one outside the fold of Islam. The Qur'an is 100% the word of God unlike the other scriptures in existence today which have been changed by humans, and it is a continuation, confirmation and culmination of the original message contained within them, in its last and final form, preserved for all mankind.

Your are responsible for the choices you make. Each choice, has a consequence. Think carefully, open your eyes, heart, and mind. Religion, as mentioned before, is not something to keep changing on whims, back and forth, back and forth. One of our prayers is for steadfastness upon the right path and that we do not waver from what we know with certainty to be the truth. Remember that the door is still open.

Peace.

Well, the two doubts I had were concerning the Trinity and the Bible. I thought the Bible had been corrupted but it has not. There are only 0.5% errors in the Bible that crept in over time and they are only spelling and punctuation or missing word type of errors. But the fact is that there are so many other early manuscripts that the correct reading can easily be discerned by comparing an erring manuscript to one with no errors. I should also mention that none of the errors affect the teaching of the Bible. In fact, the Bible is a more reliable document than any other ancient documents.

As for the Trinity, my belief in the Trinity was restored when my belief in the Bible was restored.

Just so you know, I shortened your quote so it wouldn't take up too much room.

Here are the problems I have with Islam.

1. Offensive Jihad.
2. The denial of the Crucifixion of Jesus despite abundant historical evidence to the contrary.
3. The fact that Muhammad was deceived by Satan into allowing veneration of false idols but then corrected by Gabriel. It shows how easily he was deceived at one time and could be at another.
4. The violent nature of Muhammad's revelations which resembles epilepsy or demonic possession rather than Divine Revelation.
5. Muhammad's marriage and consummation of marriage to Aisha when she was a child.

And there are others too but they don't come to mind right now.
