Asalamu Alykum,
Well i started practicing properly 2-4 years back, but i am more aware of the Sunnah, The Prophet (S.A.W) life and more. Alhamdulilah
I still remember back in Year 9 in school, we had a supply teacher and he was muslim, practicing and funny. But he was the first person that came to me and said you should come and join us in prayer. I was like, wow, i was really unsure because i did not know how to pray. Mashallah i want to look for the brother again and give him a hug, because he was really nice, i wonder where i could find him? His name was Mr Lone.
But i started praying in Year 10 and the school then had a prayer room for the 4 muslims that used it, including me. But i learned a few things from the teachers but it was more praying than talking, because of time. Alhamdulilah it continued from there, although i didnt advance my knowledge so to speak. Thats only been happening for the last 3-4 months. Alhamdulilah now i just want to learn more and more stuff and also improve on the things i already know. Inshallah one day i will go back to the school and see if the teachers i knew are there. Alhamdulilah one teacher Mr Iqbal did a lot of charity work. Alhamdulilah.
That was a summary, i didnt include the obstacles
Alhamdulilah, only He can guide and im so thankful that i am not among those who are astray.
Alhamdulilah
Wasalam
