My niece left the church!

Inshallah all of my brothers and sisters here at TTI are in good health and Iman.

My niece has been a Seventh Day Adventist (Sect of Christianity that in my opinion is a cult) for more than 10 years and she has been very dedicated to her religion. We have talked numerous times comparing Christianity and Islam.

About 2 months ago she came to me with some questions she had so I sent her a link to a website that offers free Quran to non Muslims. I challenged her to read it so she ordered one. Since she got it in the mail she has been looking through it (I cant really call what shes doing reading because its more like skimming).

Periodically I will ask her how much she has read and if she has any questions in an attempt to keep her interest up. She always tells me shes still reading but never discusses what she read so I dont know if she actually is or just telling me that to make me leave her alone. I dont want to push or force her so I back off until the next time it comes up.

Anyway a couple days ago she sent me a private message telling me she has left her church and now she is so confused. Alhamdulillah!!!!!!! Allahu Akbar!!! She said she finally realized she was being told nothing but lies and she got tired of it. We talked for a very long time. She asked me why I chose Islam. She said shes curious because she found out that Islam is the fastest growing religion in the world and she wondered why.

Well yesterday I met her on skype and taught her how to wear hijab for the first time. Her husband went out and bought her a scarf when I told her I would teach her how to put it on. She needs more practice of course but at least she now has the desire. Alhamdulillah

Please make dua for my niece and ask Allah to guide her in his way. She has a couple small children and her husband is in limbo too so this is an entire family of possible Muslims we are talking about here inshallah!

In defense of the Seventh Dayers; they practice a simple unadulterated form of Christianity. They are very pious people.

But, InshaAllah, sister your niece has been blessed.

With all due respect sister I came from a Christian background and I know that all sects of Christianity brainwash their members with twists of the truth and some flat out lies. Some sects are worse than others and in my opinion Seventh Day Adventist and Jehovah's Witness are a few of the really bad ones. My niece hasnt elaborated on what she found out of the lies they were telling but I can just imagine! Dont forget most of my former friends and ALL of my family are still Christians!

I do agree my niece is very blessed Alhamdulillah. I pray the rest of my family will soon follow and one day I can say my family are Muslims inshallah.

I do agree with Aapa. I was raised SDA so I know plenty about them. My mom's side of of the family still is. But what is important is that your niece is looking for answers. Give her the answers.

See I used to think that too, about J. Witnesses that is. I used to really like J. Witnesses until I digged a bit deeper. I dont want to hyjack this thread but they believe some crazy things.

Jazakallah khairan everyone for your dua's and kind words. May Allah reward your kindness.

Sister Islamerica: To be honest I dont want to introduce her to any forum yet. She is still standing on the fence and I dont want anything to overwhelm her so she will fall. Besides I have found that some members at this website have been rather unkind lately to newcomers and it worries me that she might be too fragile in her beliefs to handle that yet.

Thank you brother Rahman2040 for all the links. I think I could benefit from some of those myself! :wink:

Sister Alf2: I know about Jehovahs Witness too since my daughter is studying that religion. They do believe in some crazy stuff. They also brainwash their members!

I pray that Allah will guide all of my family to the straight path Ameen :tti_sister:

ameen to your duas sister.

If it's the case as you say, then perhaps one on one with her would be good. You can recommend someone she can contact if she has questions about islam.

MashaAllaah, great news, May Allaah bless and guide her to Islaam.

I'm short on time (as always) but a simple advise I would give is that in the beginning don't focus on the outer actions (unless she specifically wants to know) before focusing on the inner beliefs. Things like salaah, hijaab etc ... they only become part of a Muslim after they have the Imaan in their hearts, to hear, to obey, to want to adopt it. Before that, they're just rituals and practices, so although I know you will do well by her inshaAllaah, just something to keep in mind.

Asssalamu allaicum wa raahmatullah wa baarakatuhu

Alhamdulillah, Allahu Akbaar, this is really so happy news. Jazzak Allah khair dear sister for sharing with us this happy news for your niece on these Eid days, Alhamdulillah.

I pray to Allah that he guides her and all your family sister toward Islam. Ameen. And Allah is The Only and The best Guider.

As other brothers and sisters already said, I also agree with them that your niece should first learn Tawheed Inshallah and belive only in Allah that He is the Only God and that Allah is the only worth of worshiping and asking of help,and also to belive in all Prophets and in last Messanger of Allah, our beloved Prophet Mohammed sallahu alayha wa salam.

I think dear sister that this is the most importante,and Inshallah with help of Allah when eman enters in her heart than everything else will come alone.

May Allah guide your niece and all your family toward Islam. Ameen. :tti_sister:

I just wanted to post an additional thank you to brother Rahman2040 for that very informative website you got the links you posted from. I just went ahead and checked out the entire website and I was very impressed by it. So much so that I actually sent the link for the entire website to my niece. Inshallah she will benefit from the information on it. Jazakallah khairan brother and I pray Allah will reward you Ameen
