Assalam waleikum,
I have no words to express how happy I feel for having decided to accept the invitation for visiting the mosque and assist to a class there for non-muslims and converts.
It was a magnificent place full of peace, simplicity and light.
I felt so welcomed, it is a very complete building, it is more than a religious building for muslims, it is a real cultural centre.
I began to learn arabic, the entire alphabet and inshaAllah I can continue to go there (if my work schedule allows) in order to learn arabic and also to go to the class where it is possible to hear explanations about Islam and clarify our doubts.
For the fisrt time, I used an hijab in public and I felt great, I wish I could wear it all the time (it protected me from the hot and wet weather), but I need to be discrete due to my actual situation, to avoid obstacles to my learning process. But people on the street seemed to be afraid os me while I was wearing it. I felt powerful and protected.
It amazed me to see people from every race in peace: indians, whites, blacks, mixed-raced, etc...
InshaAllah may the community in my country increase and be much more than the present less than 1%.
I just wanted to share this great experience with you, even though I can't express here in words how amazing it was, I just inform you that I didn't notice the time was passing, and when I realise, I had been there from 3 pm to 8 pm.
I am phisically tired but spiritually satisfied...alhamdullilah
May Allah reward you for your support here on TTI, too
Salam
