Sister Angelzz Accepts Islam!

[Umar001]

Its all been really good brother - but because i cant go back to my job - i do get quite bored and cause im trying to clean out friends who are no longer "healthy" for me i do get lonely too - but other than that i spend nearly every moment since i wake up till when i sleep late in the morning - reading threads online, listening to lectures online, learning new words in arabic (tho im forgetting how to pronounce those) and yesterday learnt the surah.

I also found a class yesterday that starts next year for one day a week teaching Arabic Calligraphy so i have registered for that - but yeah otherwise im happy and healthy Subhan Allah.

I had a discussion a little one with mum yesterday tho i didnt tell her i reverted just talked about Islam and that - didnt go too well so i just dropped the subject ---- its going to be really difficult.

Hey it took me like nearly a year before I told my mom about Islam.

Also, personal advice from me, though your prolly in a better position than I was, make sure you spend time reading the Biography of the PRophet, peace be upon him, because for me it was after gaining knowledge about him that I learned to love him, if that makes sense. Because that was one thing I used to find very hard.

Also, take your time with things but be structured sister, sometimes for some of us it can be that we want to learn everything all at once and do this and that and so on, but that way we hardly accomplish anything, rather, if we take small steps but consistent ones then that is more beneficial. Specially when we learn Qu'ran, trust me thers nothing more sometimes that you wanna do other than to just wake up and recite Qu'ran, but you cant and its so fastruating nad you want to learn a whole surah but you do a couple of ayat and your steam runs out, so try to becareful.

Eesa

I will brother - i just wish there was some sort of social association for reverts needs - it would be so handy and helpful and not so alienating at times (especially considering how much i had going on in my past).

I know totally what you mean, inshaAllah maybe in the future, it can be hard, leaving what your used to behind and having to kinda move away from the comforts and in some cases 'safety nets' of before. But inshaAllah don't worry sis, it could have been worse

True Brother Subhan Allah

Lol see you sound like you been Muslim for years lol

I was thinking to myself the other night, funny huh, how you started the thread talking about how does a revert look for a spouse then Kablam the thread turns into a Maryam Accepted Islam!! congraculation place.

:shade:

 

[Angelzz]

Yeah i know brother - thinking back i was ready just hesitating - not knowing how good ill feel about it - but also i never had anyone ask me straight up like that if i believed in only one God and so on.

And when i thought about it - i did - was a revelation for me i guess

Yea for real, I mean sometimes we need someone to just be firm and cut the 'time wasting' it tends to help alot of people to have that type of person around.

have you posted your reversion story yet? Man Am waiting for it! lol

Also, can you remember what first interested you in Islam?

 

[Angelzz]

no i havent posted that yet - i forgot but ill do today for sure InshaAllah.

Interest turned to islam after i researched christianity and Judaism - i didnt get the answers or the satisfaction i found when i started reading about islam - and so i never stopped reading about islam - thats such a brief overview but ill let you know when ive posted my story up.

Okey dokes, can I jus ask you, lol sorry for being a pain, but, was there one thing which has been in your mind all the way through? Like a verse or something that really stuck out a hadeeth or something?

 

[Angelzz]

no not one thing in particular - but i was getting signs from Allah Subhan Allah that i was on the right path - and the change in my person was also witness that what i was reading and hearing was the true path.

But in saying that things that appealed to me were the fact that babies are born sin free (dont inherit sins of parents), being able to pray direct to Allah, the health benefits of the pray itself - and also i admired the miracles written about in the Qu'ran i couldnt get enough of reading about them - it really gave me a new perspective than what i was used too. there were so many things brother soooo many things

I know, it can be hard to state them or number them.

I remember when someone asked me, what made you revert, I was trying to sum it up but I couldnt, there was so many things in my head at once that I couldnt even give a straight answer ;D oh that maybe another thing you wanna do, write down the answer to that question in case the family ask you so you wont be on the spot

Thats a good idea bro - though i dont think they want a bar of it - i think they are more worried about the shame i will bring upon them and they wouldnt be able to go out in public cause ppl will point them out and talk about them being parents to a muslim girl -- mum says the shame of it will kill her.

Lol your family is begging to sound like they are twins with mine!! lol I know what you mean, my mom wont tell noone, the church congregation would end up talking about it non-stop.

I know your mum might not want to hear it, but trust me when you tell her, she might ask you, 'but why' also in giving da'wah, if you mention 'I jus became Muslim such and such time ago' people will be like 'wow, what made u revert' and then u can give you little prepared talk. Its a real effective da'wah thing.

By the way your family christian?

yep they are - Church of the east (eastern christianity) but very similar to Catholic - though i was raised to believe i was catholic - went to catholic school etc. later on i found out they are similar but differ on a few points tho the church of the east also is inline with the nicea creed. so same thing.

but i think im gonna have to keep being a revert to myself for now anyways

Asalaamu Alaykum,

that's pretty rough Sis. hopefully you've misjudged the situation. my mom's a Catholic, but i've been "different" all my life; she didn't bat an eye.

Make plenty of du'as for them, and ask us to also! ask Allah (SWT) for guidance in this, as with all things.

maybe you could arrange some visits with them that wouldn't involve going out in public.

a parent's love usually trumps what people think of them. it just might take a little bit of time. just remind them that you love them and won't "cut them off" as the Islam forbids it. oh and you might want to them them that you're not moving to Saudi Arabia next year...

just remember a "what if scenario" will most likely get you one answer, while the reality of a situation will get you a different one.

May Allah (SWT) make it easy for you and may He make you the "coolness" of your parent's eye, and may He fill your parent's with abundant love and understanding for you.

Ameeeeeeeen!!

For real, trust me sometimes it's not as bad as it might seem.

Plus always think of the worse, thats what I do, I mean I didnt get kicked out of home or nothing, although sometimes I wish that did happen, but still, Alhamdulilah.

At least you got Islaam. And Eeman Soon inshaAllah if not already then maybe Ihsaan.

That would be a combo!

 

[Angelzz]

Brother Isa - yup it was orthodox originally and still has orthodox practises (no postrating alot of standing tho) but now in recent years has become catholic??? beats me really????

Brother Yusuf thank you for kind words and i know mum is only trying to scare me so i dont revert (she doesnt know i have) but yeah she is only going off the media slant on it and stuff - tho she can be stubborn at times - but ill keep trying - slowly slowly things should work out InshaAllah

LOL about going to Saudi Arabia tho bro - she probably thinks im gonna be brainwashed into being a terrorist or something - SubhanAllah he will hopefully make them understand InshaAllah
