    Your way to Islam !!!!!share your story

    I was raised a Catholic but had serious issues with what I saw as the blatant corruption of faith in the trinity and worship of Mary and Jesus, plus praying towards statues and the eucharist. By the time of secondary school I was brought up in front of the head of RE for writing in an exam paper...

    I now believe that all Nationalism and Patriotism is bad does Islam agree ?

    :salam2: I agree with the general consensus of those who posted above, nationalism is just a way of diving humanity when what we really need is to unite it. I do admit to backing my nation of birth in sports, but nowhere near the jingoism that unfortunately others think is permitted when...

    Martial Artists?

    Salaam, I trained for a year in jiu jitsu as self defence and fitness. It's very effective and perhaps the most honourable part was that we were not taught to attack, merely how to respond to the most common forms of being attacked. Of course we learnt where and how to strike, but the emphasis...

    Why did you become Muslim ? (post your answer)

    I reverted and became a muslim because Allah guided me and gave me the courage to do what I knew was right. I was raised and educated as a Catholic in England, but within an Irish heavy community so there was a kind of indifference and for want of a better vocabulary people I grew up with...
