im new to this site , i think a week old,,,and am glad i found this site after watching ur video on wakeupfromyourslumber website....i cant even claimed im a born muslim cos i was found abandoned as a 9 month old baby more than half a century ago,, i was taken care off by my govt in a welfare home,, i was mixing n practicing christainity with the other inmates of the home till when i was 9 yrs old they transferred me to a muslim welfare home(first of it kind i guess although no longer exist now i think it closed down in 2000 )was shocked to find out that im a muslim at the time,,, to be separated from my non muslim childhood friends,,, not able to speak Malay which is a language here,,i only speaks hokkien(a chinese dialect) and english which is the main language spoken in that welfare home unless they have segegrated me under malay/muslim....i attended secular school,,, so dont really have the time to learn about islam n its teaching....lesson are taught mostly in the morning n thats when i have to attend school. Being young n a eager beaver for new things,, every opportunity arise for me to learn about the religion n reading jawi(which is malay language in arabic character) i gladly joined the class. So guess i was a not "good muslim",,,im just a "muslim but"..... like yusuf estes says. At this muslim women's welfare home,, women of good n bad characters are not separated,,,, imagine how easily it will be for me to fall into the evil traps...to be continue,,Godwilling

Welcome to this website!

I must say one thing though, all children are born on the natural fitra, so it doesn't matter if you were abandoned of not you were born a muslim. May Allah guide us all on the right path.

Wassalam.:)
