Can't recite the shahadah why?

[Bluegazer]

Assalamu Alaikum [Peace be to you] brother Matthew!!


Congratulations!!


Welcome to the religion of Islam. May Allah bless you, increase your faith and knowledge of Islam and grant you success in this life and the Hereafter. Aameen.


Now, try and take it easy and start increasing your knowledge gradually. The most important aspect of Islam is to learn what acts constitute worship and then making sure to direct these acts to Allah alone and to no one else. Please read Dr. Bilal Philips' "Fundamentals of Tawheed [Islamic Monotheism]" to excellent information on this most important article of faith.


You should also begin by learning how to perform ablution and to pray the five daily prayers and the rest of the Five Pillars of Islam.


Keep reading a good translation of the Qur'an on a daily basis, even if only a page or two each day.


And remember to always ask Allah to preserve and guard your faith.


A warm welcome again!


Best regards,

Bluegazer

Wassalamu Alaikum [and peace be to you]

Now that one has me worried more than anything, I am worried if I spend too much time thinking about this, the time Allah, SWT has given me will be over.

Thanks for that thought. I'm still young enough I don't think about not waking up in the morning.

asalam alikom wa wb. I'm really not trying to scare you or sthg but really when you talk about death there is nothing such as I'm young or healthy and stuff like that coz you fate is known and determined only by Allah so don't tell me He SWT will excuse you from your fate coz you are young. It's your fate so whenever it's supposed to happen it will without doubt about it. One more thing I hope that this is not sthg from Satan, the enemy and hater of mankind, he keeps telling u laterz. coz this is what he hates the most.
May Allah make it easy on you, guide you and bless you from satan.
Ameeen

assalammualaikum bro mathew,

Before I converted I was read the entire Qu'ran, was praying 5 times a day, and fasted in Ramadan. However, I didn't convert until a friend took my hand and led me towards the front of the masjid to make shahadah.

In other words, I needed support in the biggest and most important decision of my life. Encouragement and reassurance helped me to make the right decision, and I believe this might be what is holding you back.

You know the truth. It has become clear to you. The devil will never cease to attack mankind and to try to lead them astray. Do not let this happen. Allah SWT chooses who He wills to guide to the straight path. When the realization dawns upon you, do not let it slip through the cracks.

I urge you to take your shahadah as soon as you can. If you can drive to a local masjid, go and take the shahadah. If you can ride a bike, ride it, and if you can walk, walk. As soon as you take the shahadah, your heart should feel at rest and you will become the brother of over a billion muslims. You will not have made a wrong decision, as this is the best gift that we can receive from Allah SWT.

I am glad that you have come as far as you have, and hope that you make the right decision in the end.

[yakubpasha]

Good Morning my brothers and sister in Islam Friday Morning I made Shahadah in my room. I love this feeling of peace that I'm enjoying. Monday I'm going to try to head to the local masajid.

Thank you all for your help and encouragement. I know this is just the 1st step of many on this path, but I know this is where I need to be.

Again Thank you all,
Allahu Akbar
Regards,
Matthew

Allhamdullilah Brohter Matthew, you have taken the best decission in your life. I have always been wanting to come to Austing ( i live in Dallas). Inshallah if i do, i would like to congratulate you face to face

P:S Guys plesae stop posting we dont know if you will die tomorrow etc etc, i find that quite annoying, one of my friends took his friend to the masjid as he wanted to learn about Islam and this guy came and said - Are you ready to take Shahadah - SAY IT SAY IT - WHAT IF A BUS HITS YOU WHEN YOU GO OUT.

This made the brother even more scared about converting as ppl were pushing him.

Remember that its very hard, we need to be encouraging and nice but not be FORCING any one.

Salam

Al Hamdulillah
all praise be to Allah swt
