My Story

Gareth

Allahu Akbar!
Assalamu Alaikum wrwb.

All Praise Be To Almighty ALLAH {swt}

This is a brief background story to my reversion to Islam which I would like to share with my new Brothers and Sisters.

My interest in Islam was sparked from all bad news coverage it was receiving. I decided to look into the religion and quicky saw it to be the true relgion. I was born a catholic but could never understand why catholics worship God AND Jesus and take them both as a God.

The first few times I tried to enter into Islam, it failed because I would always say to myself "OhI would be embarassed to tell people I am muslim" or "Islam will never work for me because of my western way of life and the religion is meant for the middle east not the west"

However 3 days ago I decided that I was going to make Islam work for me and, with the help of ALLAH {swt}, I am now fully embraced in Islam and I'm always looking for new ways to become a better muslim and incorporate Islam into my life.

I no longer care what my disbelieving friends and relatives say. As long as I have ALLAH {swt} I will be happy in life. Most of my friends like to go out drinking alcohol like unfortunately most people do these days but I get my enjoyment out of faith and sincere obedience to our lord ALLAH {swt}

If anybody has any questions about my reversion to Islam just post them here or PM me and, With the permission of ALLAH {swt} I will reply soon.

Walaikum Salam.

Asalama aleikum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatu my brother and welcome to islam may ALLAH(AZA WA JALLAH) make you among those will carry the flag of islam.


"If Allah wants to favor someone, He grants him comprehension (understanding) of this religion."
[Sahih Bukhari vol.1 # 71, Tirmidhi and Musnad Ahmad]

Correct understanding of Islam is one of the best of characteristics with which a Muslim may be honored, as the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “When Allaah wishes good for a person, He makes him understand the religion.” (Narrated by al-Bukhaari, 69

:salam2: Allahu Akbar! Allahu Akbar! Allahu Akbar! Congratulations, brother Gareth. If I remember correctly, you are just 17 or 18 and I am so proud of you making the right decision at such a young age. I, too, reverted from Catholicism but I was 21 at the time in 1991 when you could have been no more than a baby. PlEase stay in touch with brother Yusuf1990 on the forum as he is about yr age and you can share experiences and be support for one another. If you need advice from someone like me, originally irish catholic, send me a pm without hesitation, i am one of the older but not wiser members on the forum, lol!
