Assalamu alaikum dear brothers and sisters--I am a revert to Islam of 16 weeks now. WhyIslam.org sent me a free new convert kit which included a book on sunnah and hadith, prayer rug,khufi,Glorious Quran in english and some other books and informational pamphlets. IslamReligion.com also sent me a new convert kit which had several books in it. There is so much help and support out there for new converts to Islam and I am very much encouraged by the overflowing good will of these organizations. I read the story of Omar Khadr who is a 21 year old detainee in Guantanamo prison. He was only 15 when he was captured in Afghanistan and he is recieving very harsh treatment. Due to his young age, we must pray for his release to freedom as well as for all the other detainees there. As a Marine, when I was younger, I was stationed in Guantanamo bay,cuba twice and from personal experience, know that the temperatures are very hot all year round-and I do not think they provide air conditioning in Guantanamo prison.:astag:
