Alhamdulliah!!

Islam is such a beautiful way of life!! This just shows that anyone can be Muslim, and there are Muslims thoughout the whole world!! Alhamdulliah!!

May Allah bless you all!!
 
I was born a Muslim, but knew little about Islam originally. Ethnically, I'm from all over India, but I was born in South India and raised in California and Georgia.

What Masjid do you go to?

I've been having trouble finding some, I found one in Minneapolis.

There seems to be a good amount of Muslims in MN but not enough Masjids???:mmokay:

I'm about 200 miles Northwest of you and the closes Masjid for me is the one in Fargo ND. It is nearly all young college students.

However, I spend a lot of time in SD and usually go to the one in Rapid City, sometimes I end up at the other end of SD and go to the one in SiouxFalls.

There are very few Muslims in this section of MN. I believe Aabidah and I are the only ones in the Western Half of the State. There are even less in South Dakota. I believe most of the Muslim Population lives in Sioux Falls, about 1,000 the rest of us about 25 to 100 are scattered all over the state and us 2 in western MN.

The population of the entire state of SD is less than 1/4 the population of Minneapolis. Only 750,000 live in the entire state. about 1,100 Muslims.

Although we spend most of our time in SD we call MN home as we are buying a house there and only have our horses in SD. But, we both are registered at the Fort Mead VA hospital and spend a lot of time there.
 
I was also born in england, my parents are from pakistan and i was raised a muslim allhumdulilah :).
 
Both grand-fathers were Hindu reverts, although one didn't practice. So alhumdulillah, I was born muslim, but because raised with some non muslim influences like cultural pakistani/indian as well as christian i.e. we celebrated christmas, birthdays and I loved (Isa, pbuh) the most out of all the Prophets. Didn't know much about our beloved Prophet and his life, except that he was 'our' Prophet. But alhumdulillah, finally came to learn the true deen and love Prophet Muhammad sallahu alayhi wa sallam as a muslim should.

You're background sometimes affects the way in which you are raised. : (
 
Born muslim, prayed and everything but i didn't truely understand Islam enough till i was about 15. I'm bengali so didn't really understand the meanings of quran and salaat but alhamdullilah, that's changed like.
 
raised muslim

u can keep one more option.... born-again muslim (muslim who started practising islam later in life)
 
From what i notice reverts are usually much more religious then people who were born as muslims do tell me if im wrong, im a born muslim myself. Do people who are born muslims really understand the gift they have?
