i hav a vry pressing issue i wnt to discuss. hop u can help me.

i know this girl who is catholic.she happens to have many muslims friends. one day we got talkin and she told me that because of the many muslim friens she has her mom said she was going to embrace islam. but her reply was a NO, She will never embrace islam. i got curious and asked her y. she told me that muslims behaviour was very bad and she cant b part of them.we got talking n i found that the muslim she knew were not ideal muslims (no offense) they go clubbing, date and even commit zinaa, she's even had muslim boyfriends who she says were just intrested in sleeping with her and then dump her. she toked of this family of 3 siblings, they were less than 10 years but subhanaAllah their behaviour leaved a lot 2b desired, they would flirt with ladies passing by, pass sexist comments and use very rude language.i tried telling her that it was all in the upringing, i 4 one do not do that n pride myself in being a good muslim. but it was like shez already come to her conclusion.

i really felt bad after our talk.like wat have we muslims done?it is our responsibillty to give n show gud examples as muslims but this is no longer the case.i really do want to change her perception about muslims.
my muslim sis n bros who r reverts, uv gone through someone telling u abt islam,
how does one react wen out of the blues sam1 tells them abt islam, being the right religion n u believing n knowing yours is the ryt religion?
so how do i go abt it?its like a month now since shez told me
so how do i even broach the subject,
how will she react to wat i say?
and the things that are unislamic that she sees in her muslim frends r still there so how do i convince her its the right religion?
am really so hurt n disapointed.
any suggestions is gladly welcomed n appreciated.

thankyou. wassalamu aleykum
 
a message to my muslim family

assalamu aleykum.
please bros n sisters take heed of wat u doin. it can b the reason one embraces islam or loathes it. n remember wen u guide aperson to the truth every good act the person does u get thawab without diminishing the doer's thawab (prophetic saying)

so take heed and know that ACTIONS SPEAK LOUDER THAN WORDS!!!

The prophet propagated islam through his actions.there are many instances where people embraced islam after seeing how the prophet behaved..

islam is action..so act good 4 ur the ambassadors of islam.

shukran

Very true. at anytime our post can be the only view of Islam a non-Muslim may ever see. we need to be aware everytime we post, that our words may be the only thing somebody learns of Islam.

Splitting of the Moon , an Amazing Story




In a TV interview with the Egyptian Geologist Dr. Zaghloul Annajar, the anchor asked him about the verse:

"The Hour has drawn near,and the moon has been cleft asunder (the people of Makkah requested Prophet Muhammad [PBUH] to show them a miracle, so he showed them the splitting of the moon)." (Quran 54:1) whether it contains any Quranic scientific astounding facts?



.......................Dr. Najjar continued that at this point a British Muslim young man introduced himself as Daoud Moussa Peetcock head of the British Islamic Party.



He carried on saying sir if you allow me I would like to add on this issue? I said please do.




He explained saying: At the time when I was searching in religions (before he embraced Islam), a Muslim student gave me as a present the translation of the meaning of Quran.



I thanked him and took it home. The first Surat I came across when I opened the book, it was Chapter of the Moon I read "has drawn near, and the moon has been cleft asunder". I said to myself, is this statement logical? Is it possible for the moon to split and then reattach what kind of power may cause this?




The man explained that this verse made me reluctant to continue reading. I became busy with my life,yet ALLAH of course Knows how sincere I was about finding the truth.

So,one day ALLAH made me sit to watch TV. It was a talk show between a British commentator and three American astronautics specialists. The show host was blaming the scientists for spending thriftily over space trips at a time when earth is suffering hunger,poverty, diseases and backwardness.



He was telling them, it would have been more feasible to allocate this kind of money for reconstruction of earth. To this argument, the three men answered defending their position that such technology is widely applied in many wakes of life such as medicine, industry and agriculture. They added that the money is never wasted but it rather supported the development of highly advanced technology.

During their dialogue, they mentioned the trip in which a man landed on the moon surface as it consumes the the largest cost which comes to more than US $100.000.000.000.



The British TV anchor screamed saying what kind of thrift is this? A hundred thousand million dollars just to plant the American flag on the moon surface? They answered no; the objective was not to plant the American flag but rather to study the interior composition of the moon. We actually came to a finding that would cost us double folds of this amount for people to believe and yet they will never believe.




The show host inquired what is this fact? They replied: One day this moon was split and then reattached. The show host again probed: how did you realize that? The scientists responded about finding a belt of transformed rocks cutting the moon from its surface to core and then to the surface again. The stated saying: we consulted with earth scientists and geologists who explained that such phenomenon would never occur unless this moon one day split and then reattached.

The British Muslim man said: I jumped out of my chair saying ALLAH (SWT) forced the Americans to spend more than a hundred billion dollars to prove to Muslims a a miracle that took place 1400 years ago for Mohamed (PBUH)? This religion must be the truth.


He added: I went back to the Quran and recited Surat Al Qamar, which was my gate for accepting Islam.

Assalamu Alaikom sisters and brothers

I thought I could share my story and journey to Islam, after reading all these wonderful stories, mashallah.

I reverted to islam about a year ago. That's when I said "La illaaha illa Allah..." for the first time. Couple years ago I meet this guy, he is a muslim, and we became friends. We were talking pretty much about religions, because I was christian ( actually a Lutheran ) and he is Muslim. We got to know each other better and better, and of course I had those silly stereotypes in my head about islam. But he told me about Islam and at one point I noticed that I prefer to listen to what he is telling me about Islam, than to attend any kind of christian ceremonies, or even talk about religion with my friends. And I started questioning christianity and I started asking the priest questions which meant a lot to me, but I got only one answer: "You just have to believe !".. At first I was so surprised, because I had been a "true christian" for quite a time, although I am so young (17 when reverting to Islam). And I was actually paniced that "how can I think this way?" and I was thinking like "oh I can't think this way, this is wrong, I'm a christian". But no, only those thoughts were wrong. I had the right feeling : I should become a muslim.

I prayed and asked for guidance and help, to know what I really want, and what I really should do. And right after I had prayed that, my cellphone rang, and it was him, the guy who introduced Islam to me. After the phonecall, I just sat on my bed and cried because I felt so good, and relieved. Then I went to watch the full moon from my window, and I noticed that it was snowing,and Subhan'Allah it was so beautiful. I will never forget the moment.
It may not sound so special to others, but for me the phonecall was a sign that I should become a muslim. And I did. It was the best feeling I have ever had,and I felt so happy and safe and reliefed at the same time. I told about my decision to this muslim guy the next day, and he was so happy and he told me what I should do. And here I am! I have been a muslim for months already! I have learned so much but I still have more and more to learn.

My parents didn't take it so well at first, but now they have accpeted it and my mom have even asked things about Islam. My father is an orthodox and my mother is a Lutheran, but they don't attend christians seremonies much, only in funerals or weddings and so on. Still religion is important to my father mostly because it's "a tradition" in his mind.
Subhan'Allah I am now engaged to the person who told me about islam, and insha'Allah we will get married.
My life has already turned into a better one after reverting. And I am so happy that all of these things happened to me.

I live in a small city in the middle of nowhere and as far as I know, there is only one muslim family here. I have seen them once, and I'd really love to talk with them, but I don't know where they live and I never see them anywhere. Insha'Allah I will be able to talk with them soon. All my friends are christians, the closest masjid is about 100 kilometres away from me and the closest muslimah I know, lives hundreds of kilometres away from me. Still I don't feel alone at all, I keep in touch with my wonderful sisters in Islam via Internet and phone. I love Islam, it's the most important thing to me. All I want is to do the right thing and to live my life in the right way.

May Allah guide all the people towards Islam, ameen.
 
I've been reading this thread for the past 3 hours.
Each story I read is more beautiful than the one before it.

May Allah guide us all to the right path, both the reverts and converts, inshallah ameen.
 
Assalaamu alaykum,

I became Muslim about a year ago, mash'allah. Since I was 15, now 23, I've been searching for a religion. I started out messing with the occult. But then I moved on to other religions in high school and after. Christianity, Judaism, Sikhism, Buddhism, Hinduism, Jainism, whatever, I've probably been there. After coming to Islam, alhamdulillah, I've been at peace and life has been so much better. The prayer was very daunting at first, but now it is easy. I'm still memorising some of it, but I enjoy praying 5 times a day. Fasting was no problem at all as I had practiced that before. On a side note yesterday I got my first miswak and I love it :D. If you have any questions, please feel free to e-mail me [email protected] because I won't be re-checking this thread. I guess since I don't have 50 posts I can't reply to any private messages...so...I guess just email me insha'Allah.

Wassalaam,

Abdul-Rahman

This really isn't my full conversion story, because I haven't converted yet. But I thought it would be good to post something I wrote a couple of weeks ago reflecting on my life and what I have been through.


Reflections

Over the past two years I’ve learned a great deal about myself and life in general. I use to be so immature thinking I was “in love” when really I wasn’t. I would have never thought that I would say that. The reason why is because I was young, and immature. Believing that I was in love with someone who was in jail for something really stupid. I use to think me and him were “forever” its so funny how things change so fast. You would never think you’re whole life could change so drastically. From getting D’s and F’s in high school, to receiving A’s and B’s in college. Knowing that you can achieve more than you ever thought you could. I must have skipped school a hundred times, smoked, and drank alcohol. I use to think all of that was so fun to do, because everyone I was hanging with was going it along with me. I have learned that you can accomplish things you may not have even thought of doing, or even believed you could. I have learned not to take life for granted and to not let what others think or say about you get in your way. I have learned not to let someone else’s opinions stop me from achieving my dreams. I have learned that you must forgive others for their mistakes if you want to be forgiven for yours.
Finding Islam has changed my life completely. I no longer skip school, smoke, or drink. I stopped doing that almost immediately after realizing that Islam was the truth. To my surprise it wasn’t that hard giving up my old ways. They were getting pretty boring and old anyways. The first exposure I had to Islam was in my freshmen year of high school. A lot of my friends were Muslim. From time to time I would find myself asking them questions about Islam and learning more and more about it. After leaving that high school and most of my Muslim friends I really didn’t think about Islam anymore. I still smoke, drank, and skipped class. I never really started thinking about Islam until I met Asif. Meeting Asif has changed my life entirely. When I first started talking to Asif I was still doing all the same things; I was in my junior year of high school then. When we first started talking we were just friends. I was still at that time thinking I was “in love” with Matt aka Direct Tv. As Asif and I started talking more and more we became closer. We started talking more and more each day talking about everything from A to Z. As we grew closer I started to have feelings for him and we eventually started talking on the phone instead of only over the internet. While talking we started talking about religion he said he was Muslim. He started telling me more about the religion during this time it was Ramadan of 2005. Ramadan was probably the main thing that got me talking I started telling him what I knew about Islam, and he answered my questions. As time went on I continued to research Islam on my own. I started learned so many things it was all just so great. I was getting so into it. Asif and I would talk more and more. It was a relief to talk religion with someone my age. Most people either don’t want to talk about it, or feel like talking about religion will start debates. None of that happened with Asif and me. As I started learning more I started to feel like I had found something special. (Yes, in you too Asif!) Everything made since to me, there was no confusion. Asif gave me a Qur’an and I started to read it and found everything I had been looking for. Any question I had was answered almost right away in the Qur’an. I knew after reading the Qur’an that Islam was the truth.
As for right now, I’m working on telling my mom more about it. I intend to convert sometime soon. Sometimes I wish I could just convert right now, but I know I need to let my mom know first. I continue to tell my mom more and more about Islam. Almost my whole family is Catholic; most of them do not practice it though. I have started to slowly learn how to pray. I know I don’t pray as much as I should. I have no excuses for that, I guess maybe that’s just my laziness coming out. I have a lot more to learn and I look forward to learning everything I can. Right now I’m trying to find a way to tell my mom that I plan on converting to Islam. It has been hard for me to talk to her about it, since she isn’t very religious in the first place. I find myself telling her things about Christianity that she doesn’t know herself. After I convert I hope to share my story with more people. I don’t want people to get the wrong idea about my conversion. I hope nobody thinks I’m converting because of Asif. I would NEVER do something this drastic to be with someone. This is for me, and no one else. Islam has brought me peace, and I am so thankfully to God for showing me the truth!! Islam has turned me into a much better person, without Islam I would still be ruining my life with dumb actions. I continue to struggle on some things to this day, but my belief in God will make me stronger, and I will continue to become a better person each day.
 
Salaam/peace;

no sis , it's not a must to tell mom first .

IF you are sure that Islam is the Truth , then you must not delay to be a Muslim.

Also , you must not spend time with opposite sex . You may learn about Islam from sisters or read Quran with translation or ask here in the forum . Spend with a specific person alone may lead you to commit sin ( may Allah
forbid ).


Hope to welcome you to Islam soon :)
may Allah make it easy for you
