My way it took 20 myears I am now 20 years, after fighting with myself all my life leaving home as a child searching for that thing that was missing but I didnt know where to look. Then when I read the Quran for the first time Alhumdumlilah my insides melted but that was just my taster, Allah took me away and I experienced some more pitfalls ad then one day I woke up and cried I went to the mosque took my shahda and never been happier my soul has its mnedicine and my heart feels home insha allah i have the strenght to carry on

I will make this story concise. And some of the contents in the story about man and woman being alone together I know now, but this is the truth about my conversion. So please no posting telling me what I already know. :)

I truely believe Allah (SWT) has sent this brother to me! Even they way we met was unusual. Allah Ta' Ala can use whomever he wants to get you were he wants you to be.

I had a few good muslim friends but they were not practising so there wasnt a conversion. It took a why to get it but finally it came. Alhumdulilah

I reverted (converted) to Islam 4 years and 10 months ago. I was born and raised in the USA by my Christain family. I met a muslim brother 4 months prior to reverting. He became a friend of mines and he tried to discuss Islam with me. Being of another religion that I believed I did not want to hear it. I can remember telling him do not ever talk to me about religion. You believe what you want and I believe what I want. This caused an agruement but we still remained friends. After that he never mentioned Islam to me again through words (you will see what I mean). Which was probably a good thing because he didnt try to force it on me so now I was curious. So one day (3 1/2 month later) when I went to visit him on his coffee table were Islamic books. The books told scientic evidence about Islam, etc.... I read about 3-4different books and became very interested and wanted to know more. So I went to work the following day and at my desk I started researching Islam. I probably researched several days a week for the next two weeks. But what actually did it was when I saw some miracles in Islam. For instance in arabic the number 18 and 81 inside of your palm. The right hand reading Allah, etc....Subhanallah No offense but I was thinking I havent see evidence of Esa (Jesus) (PBUH) on my body or things in nature with his name. So after that I said this has to be the way. That day Alhumdulilah when I got off of work Walihi I called the brother at his job and said I must go to the masjid right now and convert. He said slow down what happened? I explained and he said thats it, he could not believe thats all it took. Then I told him I must go right now since you are working I will have someone else take me. He said wait until Jummah on Friday (I wanted to convert on a wednesday) After I went to Jummah on that Friday and took the Shahada I felt something come over me Alhumdulilah. I took of those worldly things (fake nails, etc...) I took all of my clothes (if thats what you want to call them lol and disposed of them) Alhumdulilah and I started on my journey to embrace Islam. Oh 1 month later that brother married me! Alhumdulilah I got the best gift, Islam and a practising brother to go along with it. Allah Akbar!

Just to tell you guys something it doesnt take alot for Allah to get you to see what he wants you to see. In my instance a few books and some miracles. No matter how you get it Just make sure that you do!!!!!!!!!:SMILY139::SMILY139::SMILY139::SMILY139::SMILY139::SMILY139:

Would Allah forgive me ?

. I was born in society that music was the first thing that we all live with . Going to clubs , dating , drinking , living life to the fullest. Now i converted to ISlam with the main concept that inside i got to believe that there was one God and that there is not son or nothing else but God and the angels. As well i understood that indeed it seem clear to me and logical that Muhammad (peace be upon him ) was the last prophet . People ask me what made you to convert to ISlam , why you did it ? i only can say that it all began inside my heart . A strong believe that there was One and only God and nothing else more worthy to worship but that Almighty God . I did not took the chance to learn all the everything about Islam just believe that there is one God and that it seems clear to me inside that i should follow this way . I believe that this is the right way . Then read the Quran for weeks , I went to the mosque to find more information . That day after Isha prayer i converted to ISlam. IT was like a new begining for me . At the first i knew some rules , not drinking , not clubs , not party , not dating , not bad music , not bad movies , not to all the bad things i knew kind of what was haram and halal . However God knows me and by the time it passed months after months i kept my self pure as i started but then the test begun . I falied more than 50 times over major sins . Now i feel all the time i wake up so a shamed of my self . Sometimes i wish i could stop breathing and not live so this way i would not fail again and again . I gotten weaker than ever i thought . I keep asking my self if there is a way and i asked God so many times to forgive me and i feel like how could i face him on prayer when i do wrong i feel so hypocrite . I know there is a solution but i cant find it , I just hope God forgives me and guide me to the point where i can see for my self the way that could stop falling. For the most i look for is to be forgiven and feel God closer to me like i did in the first time when i confess (shahadah) . I'm looking to gain that feeling back again but it seems hard after all the events that have happen in my life.......

Brother Mustafa,
Allah is Al-Ghaffar, of course He will forgive you.
Do tawbah (repentance) annasuha (sincere tawbah) means you commit yourself not to do the same sins anymore, regret it and do good deeds (it will cover the evil deeds)
May Allah ease your way

my revert

assalamu alaikum

my revert was a long road, after leaving home from when I was 13 i witnessed and seen many things that made me the person am today. iAnd finally I hnow everything happens for a reason, If it wasnt through pain I would never experience this, The first time I picked up the quran, Idid cry but I wasnt ready to revert, my plans were for me to become an even stronger muslim inshe allah later on. After going down different paths one day I woke up andn a light had switched, I cried and to nthis day I still cry but now because I am happy and that I truly feal that my heart and soul is at home. I pray that Allag make me strong so I can help others Im sure there is people out there that dont know about I slam, and with the right guidance insha allah they will find the path as well. I believe this crying is my healing process, Im not morbid but how I long to be free of this world but whilst I am here I will do my best to do good things.

African Missionary finds truth in Islam despite unbearable hardships

African Missionary finds truth in Islam despite unbearable hardships​


(Taken from a book, Why women are accepting Islam, Compiled by Muhammad Haneef Shahid)


The nun looked so clean and smart in their starched white habits. They looked like saints in the pictures that hung on the wall of every classroom, that I dreamt of the day I could be like them.


I was among two other girls who got excellent grades at the end of the school year and we were asked if we would like to study religion. They thought we were pious for our ages because we liked to spend endless hours inside the church. They didn’t realize that the inside of the church was dim and cold and a welcome relief from the hot African sun.


I couldn’t wait to tell my father, who surprisingly said, ‘absolutely not!’ he would not like that kind of life for one of his girls; without husband and children. He enrolled me in another school, which had previously only admitted boys.


Besides myself, there was another girl in the Roman Catholic Mission school in Burundi.


The years I spent at this school made me quite tough as I competed only against boys. The nuns used excessive force in disciplinary matters. The fact that we were all adolescents might have had a good deal to do with it; it didn’t seem a very Christian thing to do.


I was interested in religion and excelled in the study of languages and accepted a full scholarship to a university in Cameroon after graduating from high school. Again, as the only female, I enrolled in the college of Theology. I wasn’t sure where I would go with it, but after a short while, the administration applied for a scholarship in the same college of Theology, but in Belgium. There I would learn how to be a pastor in the Roman Catholic Church.


My language ability aided me quite a bit and my mastery of some of the African dialects attracted them as a good candidate for missionary work.


As the years went by, I began to see through the layers of theology and found the superficially of their teachings. I was not alone in seeing the many contradictions in the new and old testaments. To learn that the trinity is mentioned only once in the New Testament was a surprise but when I learned it had been fully established at the council of Nicea and that it was not part of what Jesus taught, something in my mind clicked.


We were shown certain books called the Gnostic books, which we were told were hidden teachings. I understood that the church was being deceitful and this was disturbing. How could I believe that this was, as they said, the word of God from a to z:


The people of the book know this as they know their own sons; but some of them conceal the truth, which they themselves know. The Truth is from your lord, so be not in doubt. ( Surat Al-baqarah, 2; 146-147)


Still I pursued my studies in an effort to be able to help myself and my people some day:


As for those who divide their religion and break into sects, thou has no part in them in the least: their affair is with Allah: He will in the end tell them the truth of all that they did. (Surat Al- An’am 6:159)


After graduation from university, I took a position in Nairobi, Kenya. The church was very anxious to have an African in a position such as this. They had many programs under the auspices of the world Council of churches. I handled different aspects of exhibitions, women’s projects, donors, workshops and conferences.


I was sent to the regional office in Togo because they are mainly French- speaking which I spoke fluently and the type of projects I knew how to handle were being implemented there. I began to search for the spiritual force that was missing in my life and in Togo I searched through all the practical religions. When one looks for truth there are many things thrown in one’s path.


This part of Africa has many people who practice witchcraft and who claim to have knowledge of the unseen except God.


I had been facing much mediocrity from the church and at the same time I had Muslim friends who were very comfortable in their knowledge of God, who prayed five times daily and who had many virtues. They believed in what they said, in contrast to the church, where you repeat what you have been taught without believing in it.


I had never been taught any thing about Islam except a superficial introduction so I did a lot of reading about the religion.


I cannot say that to convert to Islam was easy; it was difficult. But when one is searching for the truth there is no way to deny it.


The decision was also difficult for economic reasons as I had one of the highest paying professions with many perks.


I resigned from my position citing my conversion as my reason and immediately lost my job and salary, housing and medical benefits. I became destitute in one day!


My family does not like my Hijab but they admire the moral aspect of Islam.


I helped to raise my brothers and sisters and they are much younger than I, and now to see how they hate me is almost unbearable.


They felt the economic hardship immediately as I did, and cannot understand why I would do such a thing. But with the grace of Allah they too will find the truth of Islam, In sha’ Allah


I hope and pray that I can use the knowledge that the education in the church gave me towards the propagation of Islam. The spiritual climate of West Africa is ripe for Islam and there are many projects which need doing. This is what I have been trained to do and so my path is straight and narrow for me now.

Ok I guess I have to start first:shymuslima1:

I converted to Islam 2 and a half years ago ,Hamdulillah
I was born and lived in Russia with muslims side by side ,but never knew what Islam was .

Then after coming to United States I met many Muslims ,but unfortunatelly not practising ,so I couldnt learn much from them ....but I fasted Ramadan with them and picked some arabic also .
I had the translation of Quran that I never had time to read ,one thing I was convienced thou that Islam is a true religion ,I just didnt know from where to start .So I kept on living without thinking much about it...

2 years after going thru many difficulties in my life ,I started to search ,mostly it was interent ,then books ....

Then I had to travel to a different state and stayed to live for a while with my family ,who are orthodox christians.They were pushing on me their believes .But then I realized that I dont believe in Christianity anymore and that Islam makes so much sense to me...
I continued searching and reading ...
After few months it was no doubt that I want to accept Islam with all my heart. And I did ....
It was a new light ,a new beginning ,a relief from all my sorrows ...The light that guiding me until today ,that is happiness in my life ...The Gift that Allah SWT has given me ,to be A MUSLIM :)

I just made it short :p

Ok waiting for your story

Asalamoe aleikoem my fellow worshippers of the one and true God.

I want to tell you how I became a muslim again. For all you doubters in here, especially the ones that come from a non muslim country and are so attracted to the uniqueness of Islam, I would like to add that Allah is the most merciful. Of all the people in the world, He forgives your sins entirely if you submit to him. That is a promise from the Merciful. And remember doubts come from the Satan. He tries to rationalise your actions and to reform you into his worshipper. Allah and Satan both make promises, but it is only Allah that furfils His promise.

I'm sorry it's so long, but you should read it !!!!


Back to my story,

I orginally come from Somalia, East Africa. I have lived their peacefully with my mother and father and the rest of the family in the once called the Pearl of East Africa Mogadishu, till I was four years old. I would like to tell you about the mercy of Allah, that I unfortunately have taken for granted.

We had to flee the country in 1991, because of the war. We only had two options. There was chaos and roadblocks on every street. We could either leave by boat or drive away and hope we'd make it. I think they destroyed the airport, so no one could flee by plain. We drove away and were halted by some militia men. They asked of which clan we were. My father did the talking and eventually we got away. We were very fortunate, they didn't ask my mother's clan, because they hated people from her clan. They'd surely kill her and all of her children ( us) on the spot if they only knew. But masha'allah they did not. We went to a southern coastal town called Kismayo. My father was the head of the national bank of Somalia and because of his status he had a lot of connections with people. Within a day or two my aunt had reserved some seats ( in a overcrowded boat). She did not want to leave immediately, because she wanted to know what happened to her house and all of her belongings. So she offered us to go. We went on the overcrowded fishing boat with rotten fish down below deck. My older brother always cries when he thinks about that moment. After a while the crewmembers got lost in the ocean and the motor failed. We didn't know were to go. We were lost for two days. But by the mercy of Allah, we were close to our destination. We arrived in Mombasa, Kenia.

Somali people were arrogant and welthy in those times. And they were especially very racist to people that very looked like the stereotype of an African ( in my opinion Somalis have an identitycrisis, arab or african, or both)
But because of the war, many refugeecamps had to be made in Kenia. Now everything was the other way. Somalis were now the victims of war, famine and poverty. I heard that the Kenians were abusing the Somalis in the refugee camps, because of our behaviour towards them before the war. But luckily my dad booked us a flight to Egypt. And from there we went to Europe, the Netherlands. And stayed there for sixteens years. And I'm still here waiting for the war to end.

My family has raised me to be a muslim, but never directly said what the consequences were if I didn't submit in the right way. In my opinion one cannot be a muslim only by his name, country, or appearence. It has to be seen in actions as well. That's what makes Islam the most attractive religion in the world. I went to the mosque till I was 14. But I have never really been so proud to be a muslim, because I didn't know why I was a muslim. I just thought it was a part of my heritage and tradition. And I have taken it for granted. ( like many muslims do ).

I did have experienced one out of body experience. This may sound very strange to you and you may not be able to relate to it. I was standing in the kitchens when I was 14 years old and suddenly I felt very warm. And after about two seconds I only saw two colours. Black and purple. I came out of my body and looked at myself. Then I came back and never felt so human before. I looked at my ten fingers and asked myself. Why I am here, why do I have ten finger, why this and why that. I cannot explain this. You have to have encountered this for yourself.

It was untill I turned 18 I started to step away from the Western culture. In the country I am living in for about 16 years, they want us ( muslims) to assimilate and to lose our religion and values. I have tried to fit in, but I could never understand why the people in the West submitted themselves to temporarily material things and adore them. The romantization of alcohol abuse, the exploitation of women ( for instance in the commercials of the European Championship they let women barely dressed play soccer for men's entertainment on tv) and I could go on and on. These social problems they face, Islam has already solved them for more than 1400 years ago. Masha'allah!

A friend of mine, Mohamed, once asked me why I didn't pray. And I couldn't give him a sane answer. Because there isn't an answer that could be acceptable. I started to fear life more and more. Celebrities and important figures in life were dying, one by one. And because death even came closer to me ( the mother of a friend died), it made me reflect more about life.

When I was 18 years old I was walking to college. It was a very windy day in Amsterdam. I was walking to cross the street, but suddenly a sign came of a pole. It was 2 meters by 2 meters and it came directly towards me. This object would've killed me if it had to me with that speed. I have never ever seen an object came to me in such a slow way. It looked like it was in slow-motion. But I knew I didn't have the time to duck, so I stood still.
Masha'allah the object passed me. But the weird thing about it was that it came just above my shoulder and ear. As if the wind did its task to warn me.I was in a hurry for a lecture at my school. So I didn't have enough time to think about what just happened. After school I had another 'aya' or sign from Allah. I was walking to the subway ( metro ), but I notices a black bird was following me. After a while it looked like he wanted to attack me and it didn't know why. It went away after a couple of attempts. Then the strangest thing happened. I saw about 50 pigeons grazing and looking for food on the ground.
Normally they mind their own business, but this wasn't the case when they saw me. Suddenly they stopped moving and eating and looked at me. None of them moved. I didn't know what to think! I was the only one in the street and I couldn't believe my eyes. It scared me so much I ran away.

I asked my family and friends what this meant and they said it was a sign of Allah to come on his path again. As soon possible I read the Quran with the translation and everything the Quran said made sense. Once when I had doubts I asked God to lead my on his path and give me another sign ( very egocentric after all the signs he gave me) And I can't remember what it exactly said, but I think it was something like ' those who seek the help from Allah will surely receive it and Allah will continuelly send them ayas for they will stand firm in their faith' I'm sorry If I said it wrong. But I mentioned it just to give you an example.

Since then I pray 5 times a day, try to do good deeds, be good to my family, try give da'wah to ignorant people and learn more and more about Islam. And I'm here on thise website to share and learn.

:salam2: my Ummah :arabi1:
