Thanks for the links, brother.

But, I'm not sure I will ever get married, at least not for a while. I cannot ask a sister to share the burden of dealing with my family. It would not be fair to her. This is my burden to bear, for as long as Allah wills that I bear it.

Once I have dealt with that, then maybe I can look for a Muslim wife. But right now... no. This path I must walk alone.

Assalam Alaikom brother,
I will just say my opinion, inshallah it will be a good one.
I think you should tell your family directly and make it very normal. The more you wait, the more you will suffer. I don't think your family will kill you as the disbelievers of Mecca did with the first Muslims :raging:, be away after that if they made problems with you but keep cool and not angry. Start with the most understanding one, maybe a brother or a sister.
You need to go forward with your life so you can't live with this as a never ending problem.
Inshallah every thing will be good.

JAZAKALLAH for sharing your story.. may Allah give you strength and ease in your life
 
Wonderful story... and I totally relate to how you felt when you realized that you didn't need blind faith to believe in the message of Islam and the oneness of Allah. It's something that was a major revelation for me too. :)

thats cool, a guy named Yusuf Estes asked a similar question to God before he converted as well :) btw, he is a well-known Muslim who gives a lot of Islamic Lectures on various topics, so you should go take a look at him on Youtube, or just google his name.

nice plan, so your going to show your parents that you have changed, and they will be happy with the new "you" and they will be wondering how you did it and all, and then you just bring up Islam, and you can use all the praise that they have given you as proof that they basically accept Islam. I like it dude, and May Allah give us all the Highest Level of Paradise.
 
Masha'Allah absolutely beautiful. I did not come across a single revert story that did not make me cry or made me feel like crying.


Jaza"Allahu Khair brother, and remember you will be tested, and that is the time to remain patient. Whatever happens remember, remember brother, stick with salat and belief in the existence and Oneness of Allah (God). One thing to remember about tests and troubles is that they have an expire date, and in even if you abandon salat (God forbid) in those tough time, make sure to supplicate (Dua) to God. In all circumstances accept Allah as your Creator and Lord, and that will boost your faith and Insha"Allah change your life. :D

Salaam Aliakum brother in Islam and humanity.
 
Thanks for the replies, everyone. I haven't yet decided when to tell my family or friends about my conversion, but Allah will show me when the time is right.

The one thing that really has impressed me about Islam is the simplicity of it. That simplicity is really its beauty as well. It is a simple religion but hard to master. There is a lot that I still don't know, but I will get there, inshallah.

A small update: I gave a short version of my story to the brothers at the local masjid tonight. I will probably do the long version later on at some point.

I wasn't really nervous standing in front of people like I normally do. That was a first for me. I was really at peace with that, mashallah.

Salam Brother

i almost cried in your story, but my tears didnt fall down coz you hesitate in detailing them :D
Pls Dont forget to mention that you are inspired by Ms Flame in story telling :)

yes, you are indeed correct. The simplicity like intention is what makes our deen differs from the rest of the religion.

By the way I am not a regular visitor anymore coz im going to school for learning Arabic language, and guess what? for almost a week of studying day & night, I only recited 70% of the alphabet? ISNT THAT WISEEE!!! My husband thought so
HAHA

Well I don't want to make anyone cry, so don't do it. :p

You know more Arabic than I do. I only know a few words and phrases and still can't read a word of it. I am currently learning Surah Al-Fatiha for my prayers.

================================================

Brother Just a guy: I just wish to introduce for you 2 of the famous religious psalms:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SONaejN-UHk

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IIBs-xf01Zw

Allah Sobhanaho said about the good Muslim believers:

Q32:16 "Their limbs do forsake their beds of sleep, the while they call on their Lord, in Fear and Hope: and they spend (in charity) out of the sustenance which We have bestowed on them"

Some true Muslim have said: I am not worshiping Allah to enter His Jannah (Paradise) or to save myself from His Fire , but I am worshiping Him because of my love to Him.
And this is where Allah gives His big rewards.

Finlay, a very beautiful recitation from the Quran which makes me cry always, alhamdolillah:

masha'Allah, you're thinking very well. This is exactly what we Muslims supposed to do. We need to lead the others by examples, showing them why Islam is the way, and then be witness against them if they reject it.

@ others

a quick advice, I know that we all get excited and everything when a new person comes back to Islam but let's not overwhelm new Muslims with information, links etc etc. Let them settle in and learn about Islam at their own pace. Every Muslim must be dealt according to his level of iman and knowledge. May Allah Ta'ala accept our good deeds and good intentions, ameen.
 
I'm leaving for the masjid in a few minutes to attend a new Muslims class, but I'm marking the thread here so I can check those links later.

Thanks for the welcome, brothers.

Welcome back to Islam, and Congratulations brother.
Amazing story, mashaAllah we are seeing a lot of reverts this month writing their stories. May Allah keep you steadfast in the right path.

Can I post your story in my site, I have a section for reverts' stories here
