I found Islam to be a complete package, covering all spheres of life, from medicine to hygiene, science to moral values, and even the unseen world.
“I am a Muslim and there is nothing Islamic about killing innocent people in Paris, San Bernardino, or anywhere else in the world,” he wrote.
My faith keeps me alive, keeps me waking, and provides me with hope. I really love Allah.
So I started fasting. My prayer that time was “If something good happen to me, I will convert”.
Shortly, thereafter, upon my return to Canada, the tragic events of 9/11 occurred and while being completely appalled and disturbed I began to ask my Muslim friends: what sort of religion would support such violence?
He stated, “I am now very calm and peaceful and I try to get more details about this religion by reading books and articles and also getting familiar with viewpoints of salient Muslim figures”.
Allah will ask us on the Day of Judgment what we did to teach our children. This scares me and it should scare every parent
I would say that I would definitely have been described as a feminist before I was a Muslim woman. Now I think the whole paradigm of feminism is way too limiting for women. So I say with more and more study of the position of woman in Islam, it’s so much more and so much better than feminism which is totally bounded by modernist logic.
My journey to Islam has been a life-altering experience. It is one that with every passing day, makes me more and more appreciative and thankful to Almighty Allah. The extent of His mercy can only fully be understood from the perspective of a Muslim one who prostrates regularly and submits their will to that of the Creator.
On the Quran he said: “When I was a Christian I used to say, as did an uncle of mine who was one of the learned and eloquent men, that eloquence is not one of the signs of prophethood because it is common to all the peoples; but when I discarded (blind) imitation and (old) customs and gave up adhering to (mere) habit and training and reflected upon the meanings of the Qur’an I came to know that what the followers of the Qur’an claimed for it was true.
