great post! there is no love like that from our Lord

Salaam Noor, welcome. I joined only 2 days ago and everyone has been fantastic as I'm sure you'll discover!

Thanks you sisters for your comments - it's good to get a female perspective. I would never instruct her to wear the hijab - for me it is a personal choice as you have mentioned. I think the whole issue, and one that many muslims born into the faith have told me about, is that she takes her...

Salaam BoMeshery, thanks for your view. I agree with you about the importance of adopting outward signs of faith but if an individual feels as though they are forced upon her/him it may lead to resentment towards Islam rather than strengthening their faith. I'm new to this so I may be wrong...

Salaam brothers and sisters. My situation is slightly different but I can empathise. I'm a 34 year old, white, professional man and reverted last year. Most of my friends and family are non-religious and bought into the propaganda about Islam we're bombarded with every day. I told my family...

Hi all, new to thee site. I reverted back in Dec. 07 and am busy trying to find my way in Islam. I've been trying to find support groups for reverts but they're pretty thin on the ground..... I've got a few really great (born) muslim friends but obviously they don't always understand what it's...
