As Salaamu Alaikum Brtoher and Siters.
A specific topic about converting has been on my mind for some time. I never had any outlet to give my opinion and reach other sisters or brothers who may have thought as I do. I would like to give words of respect and thankfulness, Mash Allah that Allah has blessed our hearts as Muslims.
In the city where I live many Muslims or non-Muslims make it "Taboo" or looked down upon for a sister to become a Muslim or make Shahada because of what they call "Male Influences"
I don’t believe that any man or human being can influence any other human being to submit to Allah (God).
In the last Surah of the Quran,
Surah 114 An Nas (Man Kind) it reads
In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
1. Say: "I seek refuge with (Allah ) the Lord of Mankind,
2. The King of Mankind-
3. The Ila (God) of mankind,
4. From the evils of the whisper devil who whispers evil in the hearts of men) who draws (from his whispering in one's heart after one remembers Allah).
5. Who whispers in the breast of mankind.
6. Of jinn and men."
This means that only Allah can bless the hearts of mankind to believe and have submition and seek refuge in Allah.
For any sisters who were introduced to Islam by a Father, Brother or Husband or Son,
Il Hum Du lilha. Praise be to Allah and they will be blessed for it. Islam not oppression and I am
personally happy for anyone who learns of Islam and decides to convert or revert to Islam, by any means. My mother always told me that we were all born on this earth as Muslims and that a Muslim means submission to Allah.
For example A Muslim man can marry a non- Muslim woman, not in all cases of these marriages will the woman convert to Islam so this is a reminder to me of Surah An Nas.
Another example in the days of the Prophet Mohamed (PBUH) many of the Muslims men who heard the message of Allah before their wives did needed to introduce their Wives, Sisters , Daughters or Mothers to Islam and then with Allah's will they became a Muslim as well.
Islam is amazing it has changed my life in more than a million ways.
I am thankful and blessed ‘
not to have found Islam, but rather
Islam find me.
