es selamu aleykum

I was born a Moslem elhamdulillah. I am happy when I see people who impressed from İslam and converted. That is a fabulous episode for me. When you feel the feeling of other person cross the street that you felt he is coming to your side or way and he/she doesn't know yet but he shows it with his sign language and energy which spreads all over and you feel it with your heart and sixth sense perhaps! Allah is great and He wishes to turn some to hidayeth (right way, happiness) and if he wishes some to turn delaleth (bad way, darkness). All power is in His hands. I always believed it and kept it warm and alive.

There is a fate which written to our fourheads which no one knows his/her last breath or last situation. We do our best, we work, we struggle for life, for happiness and misery at the same time. That is the balance of life. We try to do our best for ourselves and others. But we are not legislatives. Legislative is the one and matchless. We are the servants whose life ruled and chained to the Holy, to the Legislator.

And who is here that came to the path of hidayeth (entering the right way) by divine fate is more lucky than I am. I think so and I thought so. Because I came from a Moslem family and I was born so. I never calculated and examined my life, my religion so deep, I just simply believed what is filled my heart and mind from my parents and I simply followed their way which lead them through their life. But Hazreti Omar (r.a) or Hz. Ali (k.a.w) or Hazrat Ebubekr etc was converted to Islam and they examined it, calculated it at first and then became very firm, strong Muslims and always remembered as great examples of Muslim individuals. So you are lucky than me in that sense.

Imam Gazali said once that a Muslim individual who born from a Muslim family and eventually became a Muslim who cannot be real Mumin/Muslim until he/she accepts the information and all knowledge about religion as a false, cliche, taboo which learned from his parents then firmly and deeply search through all sources of Islam, from tafseers, hadithes, sunnah, strong books which written about Islam and akidah (belief) and then satisfies both his heart, mind and soul than he becomes a true believer. That is the way you do. And that's why you are lucky. Although i don't believe luck :) that's the another matter.

I believe people not chose Allah but he. this is looking perhaps alike Omar Hayyam's approach to the Superior in his rubai's (quatrains). But my sense and approach is not the same. Yes I believed we are pre-destinied in some sense, but not complete. It is a complicated issue to discuss. There are some hadithes that makes my mind confused. Like if you give charity (sadaka) Allah protects you from accidents and injuries. In another hadith if you visit your relatives and keep it always fresh Allah extents your life scale. Or another hadith about salat/namaz, that if you keep practicing salat five times a day, Allah protects you to commit big sins even you wish them to perform. I personally experienced this many times in particular moments of my life. I used to pray salat since my 13 years old and never quited. There were some examinations in my life which bad things or that is to say big but sweet attractive sins called me or whispered in my ears so softly and I wished to take her hand in my heart, but always something stopped me to walk to the limit. I always felt I was protected.

Yes I do and I did mistakes and committed sins. I am not an angel. I did what called in Islam bad things or sins when I left to pray salat regularly in particular times of my life for very short period. You can feel that there is an amulet around you, an unseen surrounding which protects and warms you when you practicing Islam regularly and keep your faith always alive and fresh in your heart. There are moments that we forget Allah and His existence in our life and sink to the beauties of ugly life. Life is beautiful that's true if you are an optimist, but neither i am a pessimist. Life is an illusion, Plato believed life is full of ideas but not truth or facts, not real in essence. So he concluded there must be a place which things have their perfect shape and that is the place is blessed. So if you dream or imagine, think about heavens (cennets) of Allah, how beautiful, how generous they are, and things had their perfected shapes there and everlasting life without misery and illness and boredom, why some should claim that world is beautiful?! World is illusion of ugliness which covered with spell. Thus there are some moments that we are intoxicated with false beauty of life and forgot the everlasting beauty and our aim. It happened to me so many times and it will but I will struggle till the end to keep my Iman/belief and try to give my last breath in Islam. Insaallah.

:salam2: Brother,
Welcome brother SuperMan from the wonderful country of Turkey.
TTI is a wonderful web-site too. It is kind of sticky.

Tell me what are you studing in Pakistan? Are you in Quaid-e-Azam University?

I am sooooo thankful to you for this phrase.

You have lifted a burden from me. In my teen age I used to think that I am not lucky in many things, I am not lucky to be born in the most powerful or prosperous country, I am not lucky to be born in a very rich family, I am not lucky as a person meaning I am not a movie-star kind of a handsome guy who chicks follow around. So why would I be lucky to be born in a right religion? Based on my luck in other matters there is not a chance that I would be lucky to be born in a right religion. So I looked around into other religions, but Alhamdolillah, couldn't find anything better than Islam. But I have always been worried about my those thoughts and wondered if I have commited a major sin by thinking like that? But now it looks like I have not commited any sins. Even though I have always depended on the mercy of Allah (SWT) that he will forgive me, but now I feel much better.

Thank you brother.
:wasalam:

Es salamu aleykum

Thank you very much all for warm welcoming. I appreciated this warm atmosphere of yours.

I am happy if you benefited from those lines of Imam Gazzali, Munavver. I know Quaid Azam Univerity, but I am grad student of International Islamic University Islamabad at the department of English Literature and Humanities. Adriatic_Boy, my Bosnian friend is the student of same university too. A couple of times I saw him in `turntoislam` surfing and sharing opinions. So I decided to join in. I think I did well :)

fi emanillah
