:salam2:
I will make this story concise. And some of the contents in the story about man and woman being alone together I know now, but this is the truth about my conversion. So please no posting telling me what I already know.
I truely believe Allah (SWT) has sent this brother to me! Even they way we met was unusual. Allah Ta' Ala can use whomever he wants to get you were he wants you to be.
I had a few good muslim friends but they were not practising so there wasnt a conversion. It took a why to get it but finally it came. Alhumdulilah
I reverted (converted) to Islam 4 years and 10 months ago. I was born and raised in the USA by my Christain family. I met a muslim brother 4 months prior to reverting. He became a friend of mines and he tried to discuss Islam with me. Being of another religion that I believed I did not want to hear it. I can remember telling him do not ever talk to me about religion. You believe what you want and I believe what I want. This caused an agruement but we still remained friends. After that he never mentioned Islam to me again through words (you will see what I mean). Which was probably a good thing because he didnt try to force it on me so now I was curious. So one day (3 1/2 month later) when I went to visit him on his coffee table were Islamic books. The books told scientic evidence about Islam, etc.... I read about 3-4different books and became very interested and wanted to know more. So I went to work the following day and at my desk I started researching Islam. I probably researched several days a week for the next two weeks. But what actually did it was when I saw some miracles in Islam. For instance in arabic the number 18 and 81 inside of your palm. The right hand reading Allah, etc....Subhanallah No offense but I was thinking I havent see evidence of Esa (Jesus) (PBUH) on my body or things in nature with his name. So after that I said this has to be the way. That day Alhumdulilah when I got off of work Walihi I called the brother at his job and said I must go to the masjid right now and convert. He said slow down what happened? I explained and he said thats it, he could not believe thats all it took. Then I told him I must go right now since you are working I will have someone else take me. He said wait until Jummah on Friday (I wanted to convert on a wednesday) After I went to Jummah on that Friday and took the Shahada I felt something come over me Alhumdulilah. I took of those worldly things (fake nails, etc...) I took all of my clothes (if thats what you want to call them lol and disposed of them) Alhumdulilah and I started on my journey to embrace Islam. Oh 1 month later that brother married me! Alhumdulilah I got the best gift, Islam and a practising brother to go along with it. Allah Akbar!
Just to tell you guys something it doesnt take alot for Allah to get you to see what he wants you to see. In my instance a few books and some miracles. No matter how you get it Just make sure that you do!!!!!!!!!
