I agree with Shahida. Allah is the Most Merciful. Whoever asks for Allah's forgiveness will be forgiven. If our creator can be so forgiving, how can we not forgive others? In my opinion, it would be selfish of us not to forgive others if our creator can forgive anyone. Forgiveness should...

I'm a girl btw :SMILY288: I thought I read someone there calling me a brother. I should change my screen name, I made it before I reverted, I should have a s/n that better suggests my gender :hijabi:

Inshallah I would be able to inspire more people. I have told a friend, who was born in a Muslim family, "Converts take religion more seriously because they chose their faith, their parents did not influence them." No one told me to accept Islam, I freely accepted Islam in my heart. :)

You're right :) Yes, I've thought of fasting days before Ramadan. Last year when I fasted, I did it immediately without preparing. Let's just say I came home from work on my first day of fasting having the worst headache in the world! lol So now, I'm planning on gradually not eating days...

Ramadan Assalamu Alaikum, thank you all for the support and welcoming. The most amazing part of my shahada was when all my anxiety and fear completely went away right after I uttered the proclamation of faith in Arabic. I still find it amazing that my Muslim friends now call me sister...

Assalamu Alaikum I took my shahada last night! I finally did it! I've made bulletins here before, and for awhile I once again kept making excuses in my head as to why I didn't have to be a Muslim and I stopped studying Islam. But something hit me recently, and I went back to studying...

Do people even know Christmas anymore? Assalamu Alaikum First of all, let me just say that I know some people who celebrate Christmas don't even know what it is. LOL For example, I have cousins who were raised Buddhists (their mother, who is my aunt, converted from Christianity to...

I'm happy for you :D Assalamu Alaikum. It's so great to know a young woman like you who, instead of following today's fads, follow what they believe is right and moralistic. You are on the right path! Many years from now, you will realize the many benefits of this path you are taking, take...

Thank you Assalamu Alaikum Thank you all for the welcoming and encouragement! I read every single reply and am grateful for the wonderful responses.

Asalam Alaikum I'm new to this website. I am from a staunch Catholic family and had a strict Catholic upbringing. However, I've been studying Islam on and off for 5 years (without my family knowing), but recently I decided to take it to the next level. Due to bad events in my life, I...
