Beautiful thead! I'm a born Muslim but... I stand by my opinion converts are the best and strongest Muslims in my opinion.
:salam2:Most the reverts have the opportunity to good education and secure life conditions.Mashallah that's a blessing and a responsability.
For me the strongest Muslims today are the Palestinians and Afghans ,the Iraqees, the thousands of Political prisoners in the dungeons of Isreal,inThe US,Egypt,Syria Saudi Arabia..etc.
Those who endure torture and humiliation daily for no other reason than being Muslims or for speaking truth to power.In the end it is for Allah's swt perfect justice and acquaintance to judge who is and isn't a better Muslim.If Islam was a rose that grew in the hearts of believers it is up to him to know if they took care of it enough to be worthy of his garden of mercy.
Altough I consider this to be a very vague statement that neglects the singularity and individuality of each person standing in front of a world trying to live up to the ideals of his faith and consistent to the bond with Allah swt,through different circumstances and fates.
We share the same ephemeral world,every day we wake up, we come to life again we are all new Muslims,it is what we make of it,our deeds that matter and make us worthy of being called that way.
There are a whole bunch of Muslims out there, who are struggeling with inhumain and very precarious conditions,hunger,sickness,Orphanage...etc and still look up to Allah swt between hope and clueslessness . May Allah swt make it easy for them and reward them for their strenght.If the head is round ,it is for our thoughts an opportunity to change direction.Islam is in no need of another sectarian demarcation or classifying notion,semantics are very powerful nowadays.Allah swt bless you.
