    What made you convert (main reason)?

    I just had an overwhelming feeling of "This is it!" when I started reading about Islam. I was raised Christian, and once I started thinking for myself instead of blindly following it, I realized there were a lot of things that didn't make sense. But Islam made complete sense to me :blackhijab:

    Need some encouraging words!

    I guess I should clear this up -- these aren't my parents. My daughter's father and I are no longer together, and these are HIS parents. So, I'm not related to them in any way, not even through marriage. I think I have things figured out now, so thank you all for your input! (We're just...

    Need some encouraging words!

    Thank you all so much! I sent an email back, and they mentioned that they're interested in Islam and why I chose it! :blackhijab: They still hope to see my daughter over the holidays because they don't play up any religious aspects of Christmas, so I'll need to explain my views to them a...

    Need some encouraging words!

    I reverted about a month ago, and I still haven't told my family about it, but I planned to do it before anyone started decorating or buying presents for Christmas. I got an email from my daughter's grandparents saying that they wanted to see her over Thanksgiving weekend because that's when...

    Language Barrier....

    I only reverted a few weeks ago and felt very overwhelmed at first (English is my native language as well). I spent a week or so reading everything off a piece of paper, and slowly I began to remember bits and pieces without having to look at the paper. It will definitely come to you with time...

    Happy Haram-O-Ween!

    Fortunately, my family doesn't do much for Halloween. My daughter got a Happy 1st Halloween card from her grandparents (she's 7 months old). A few months ago, I bought a costume for her just for fun... but then I reverted just a few weeks ago!

    hello all!

    Thank you all again for such a nice welcome! I just wanted to tell you all that I ended up reverting within a day or so after making that first post :blackhijab: I also found out that there are two Muslim professors at my university (and there's also an Islamic center about 30 miles away)...

    hello all!

    Thank you all for the warm welcome! Al-Kashmiri -- thank you for clearing up convert vs. revert! ahmed3711 -- thank you for that link! That makes things much easier to understand than trying to look at still pictures and read text. TheHumbleWun -- I unfortunately live several hours...

    hello all!

    Hi! I'm Lauren from the U.S. (Michigan, to be exact). I was raised Christian, but I stopped identifying myself with that several years ago. Since then, I've been floating around, reading about different religions and beliefs. As soon as I got to Islam, things started to click -- it just made...
