      The Devil was also touched by Islam's message and became a muslim and
      commands MuhamMAD to do good:
      Abdullah ibn Mas’ud reported: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said, “Each one of you has a devil-companion from the jinn over him.” They said, “Even you, O Messenger of Allah?” The Prophet said, “Even me, yet Allah helped me against him until he embraced Islam. He does not order me to do anything but good.”
      (Source: Ṣaḥīḥ Muslim 2814
      Grade: Sahih (authentic) according to Muslim)
      ................
      Sunan an-Nasa'i 3960
      It was narrated from 'Ubadah bin Al-Walid bin 'Ubadah bin As-Samit that 'Aishah said:
      "I looked for the Messenger of Allah and I put my hand on his hair." He said: "Your Shaitan has come to you." I said: "Don't you have a Shaitan?" He said: "Yes, but Allah helped me with him, so he submitted."
      أَخْبَرَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا اللَّيْثُ، عَنْ يَحْيَى، - هُوَ ابْنُ سَعِيدٍ الأَنْصَارِيُّ - عَنْ عُبَادَةَ بْنِ الْوَلِيدِ بْنِ عُبَادَةَ بْنِ الصَّامِتِ، أَنَّ عَائِشَةَ، قَالَتِ الْتَمَسْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم فَأَدْخَلْتُ يَدِي فى شَعْرِهِ فَقَالَ ‏"‏ قَدْ جَاءَكِ شَيْطَانُكِ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ فَقُلْتُ أَمَا لَكَ شَيْطَانٌ فَقَالَ ‏"‏ بَلَى وَلَكِنَّ اللَّهَ أَعَانَنِي عَلَيْهِ فَأَسْلَمَ ‏"‏ ‏.‏

    I reverted to Islam after studying it for about two years. Once I took my Shahada I didn’t plan on wearing hijab because I thought “Allah is forgiving he knows my heart and so on like many western muslima influencers”. I was attached to my beauty because in America I am the beauty standard and I held it dear to my identity I knew I wouldn’t be able to benefit from it like I always have in every aspect of my life honestly. After taking Shahada I immediately started wearing hijab I met two beautiful sisters who were hijabis’ and they were the most beautiful women inside and out Alhamdulillah they gave me confidence to wear hijab. I’m so grateful to Allah for placing these women in my life around that time. I’ll say this once you stop letting outside influence dictate whether or not you follow Allahs teaching you will truly see how your life changes for the better instantly. Allah knows how difficult it is for us to wear hijab and it truly gets you closer to him than before. Just recently I was contemplating whether I was going to wear hijab to my interview here in the US because I’ve never been through something like this and Alhamdulillah I made dua Allah guided me to keep in on no matter what and Alhamdulillah I got the job! It made me gain trust in Allah and I made dua for him to make it easy for me. Allah knows best and if he is requiring it for us muslimas to wear hijab that should be enough of a reason to wear it proudly. Wearing hijab for me is like wearing a crown that represents Islam. I also am a revert first in my family lineage living in a metropolitan city in the US. Ladies make it a priority and make dua that Allah keeps you in the straight path. I don’t get sexually harassed or looked at with list anymore and I’m actually safer than before. I had to develop other qualities besides my beauty that give me confidence such as following sunnah, furthering my education and being a genuinely good person. May Allah guide you sis it’s not as difficult as you think. I overcame the same obstacles you have and if I can do it ANYONE can I say that in the most humble way because I never thought before taking Shahada that I would proudly be a hijabi! You got this ladies!!

      in my childhood, i dont even know you can be an atheist or agnostic (not even a word back then). what social media did t0 is,lam and me, its like what printing press did to christianity. i hv read alot about other religions, like jainism or zoroaster or gilgamesh, till i can see where these stories in most of "holy books" are inspired from.

    I took my Shahada in March of last year. Right before the beginning of Ramadan alhamdulillah! When I was doing my research on Islam, there were a few people who stuck out to me, especially when coming across reverts. Candace is one of them. Her handle being called “The Blonde Muslim” really sticks out. Just like myself, she lives in Southern California. Coming across her profile is one of many things that gave me the confidence to become Muslim.

      Blind believers looking for CONFIRMATION of their Sect/Firqa beliefs is not the straight path.
      - please Read the Quran and Verify
      - instead of promoting Sectarian/Firqa ideology which was written in secondary books 200 years later by the Firqa chiefs- who only claim they are explaining the already ‘EXPLAINED IN DETAIL’ words of the Almighty Allah.
      //Quran 6. 114
      "Then is it other than Allāh I should seek as judge while it is He who has revealed to you the Book EXPLAINED in DETAIL?"
      And those to whom We gave the Scripture know that it is sent down from your Lord in truth, so never be among the doubters.
      6.115. And the word of your Lord has been FULFILLED in truth and in justice. NONE CAN ALTER His words, and He is the Hearing, the Knowing.//
      Here is a wake up call for these Firqa promoters:
      //Quran 6.159
      Indeed, those who have divided their religion and become sects - YOU ARE NOT WITH THEM in anything.
      Their affair is only to Allāh; then He will inform them about what they used to do.//
      Stop declaring Halal/Haram with your tongues
      //Quran 16.116
      Do not falsely declare with your tongues, “This is HALAL, and that is HARAM,” ˹only˺ fabricating lies against Allah. Indeed, those who fabricate lies against Allah will never succeed.//
      Quran is the Furqan meaning the criteria to judge between the right and wrong
      Quran is a book since the time it was revealed yet Sectarians have written different narratives of how it was compiled. - please read the Ayah/verse 39.23 attentively and you will see.
      Quran is the ehsan TAFSEER

I finally just left and moved to Egypt so I can just be me and not be attacked all the time for being a Muslim.

    Wow what an amazing story! I am German-Iranian and while my dad is proud to be a Muslim, he never practised. I was always drawn but never fully went in. Iranians have an incredibly strained relationship to Islam, understandably, so now that I am developing my own relationship with it, I am up against a lot of mockery and hostility from my own people who have been robbed of their spirituality by a dictatorship misusing and abusing religion. - I was really touched to hear Candace talk about not being perfect at the beginning. This is my first Ramadan, and I sometimes only manage to fast until 2pm rather than 6, and am drinking water. At first I felt ashamed, but I hope it is still acceptable to God. I am trying. I absolutely love listening to Koran - especially in the morning while seeking connection to God but generally all the time 💕. - Ah, and like many others, I was brought closer to the faith of my roots by October 6, and how the West is aiding and abetting genocide. The situation is wild here in Germany and we "brown people" have been facing crazy amounts of police violence, bullying and media repression as well as threats by ordinary people on rhe street. I always knew the white man hates us (I witnessed my Iranian day's experience). Now I know the depth and the length to which they go to. It would be cynical to say "thank God for October 6 and all that came thereafter" because of the horrible loss of life and dehumanising humiliation of Palestinians. But thank God for October 6 and how the West treated it because it fast-tracked my return to the deen of my ancestors and it invited so many others in. Thanks for this conversation again. 🙏🏽

      Blind believers looking for CONFIRMATION of their Sect/Firqa beliefs is not the straight path.
      - please Read the Quran and Verify
      - instead of promoting Sectarian/Firqa ideology which was written in secondary books 200 years later by the Firqa chiefs- who only claim they are explaining the already ‘EXPLAINED IN DETAIL’ words of the Almighty Allah.
      //Quran 6. 114
      "Then is it other than Allāh I should seek as judge while it is He who has revealed to you the Book EXPLAINED in DETAIL?"
      And those to whom We gave the Scripture know that it is sent down from your Lord in truth, so never be among the doubters.
      6.115. And the word of your Lord has been FULFILLED in truth and in justice. NONE CAN ALTER His words, and He is the Hearing, the Knowing.//
      Here is a wake up call for these Firqa promoters:
      //Quran 6.159
      Indeed, those who have divided their religion and become sects - YOU ARE NOT WITH THEM in anything.
      Their affair is only to Allāh; then He will inform them about what they used to do.//
      Stop declaring Halal/Haram with your tongues
      //Quran 16.116
      Do not falsely declare with your tongues, “This is HALAL, and that is HARAM,” ˹only˺ fabricating lies against Allah. Indeed, those who fabricate lies against Allah will never succeed.//
      Quran is the Furqan meaning the criteria to judge between the right and wrong
      Quran is a book since the time it was revealed yet Sectarians have written different narratives of how it was compiled. - please read the Ayah/verse 39.23 attentively and you will see.
      Quran is the ehsan TAFSEER
      Quran is the ehsan al’Hadith.

      It is not for a believing man or a believing woman, when Allah and His Messenger have decided a matter, to have any choice over their matter. And whoever disobeys Allah and His Messenger has indeed clearly gone astray.

    Probably a better Muslim than most Muslims who take it for granted. Also has to face oppression for the decision. The pressure from Muslims too. After every hardship, there is ease. She should stick to her own pace according to her surroundings.

    I don't follow this sister nor have I watched any of her videos, but I love listening to reverts stories - I find them emotional, and I haven't come across a blonde Muslim.
    Alhamdullah for her - subhanallah, Allah guides who he wills and I Iove the work she is doing. It is truly admirable and she is inspiring, although it is such a shame to hear about the abuse and toxicity she is receiving, especially from Muslims. Subhanallah. Hard to comprehend.

    When I heard her story I instantly remembered the verse 24:35 in surah alnoor (the light) which one of its interpretations is the two lights of guidance human have in this life ..
    one is the Fitrah (common sense of the honest heart) and the other is the revelation (Quran and sunnah) she clearly had the first light which led her to the second light may we all be guided to our final destination and meeting Allah in heaven in peace …

    Agree with Candice. The way we deliver a message is as important as the message itself. If Rasulullah (pbuh) was aggressive, mean, impatient, and condescending nobody would even listen to him. Let alone accept the message of Islam. Even the way Rasulullah advised Aisha was gentle, the way he comforted Aisha when she was upset was so sweet also.

    Dear sister, I watched your video, it is amazing. I see you are happy and wise, thank you God. The Islam religion opens rusty hearts in peace, it changes human behavior to mannerisms which radiates enlightenments to humanity. And all creations have its own rights until other’s limit of rights. Islam has logic which indicates good reasonings and they make sense. The Quran gives a lot of hints about science and existence of Allah(God), not everyone understands and sees that, special people able to understand and see them, sister is one of them, who saw the right path. May Allah bless all of us.

    I can tell you, as a born Muslim, the pressure is consent from other Muslims and to be honest it’s very unislamic- they are judgemental, want you to do things the ‘right way’ or else you’re labelled as khuffar. I have had to zone out the noise and focus on myself and Allah only. Allah is the most kind, most merciful and all knowing.. He knows our heart, our intentions. I will never be a perfect Muslim but I love Allah and I will always try to do the right thing. I would say to anyone experiencing Allah’s calling.. but are put off by the Hadith bashers on TikTok /insta who spam and say they are giving ‘advice’ - please delete the app and to block Muslim male podcasters content as it can actually make people feel repelled by Islam. Just focus on doing what you can, integrate small things and don’t make it your whole identity, having other Muslim friends can make it feel quite suffocating so try and maintain a balance in life but always have Allah in your heart.

      i can feel this. Im a convert since years. I went to the masjid once and met a very pious woman (around her 50s) there. We chatted and I told her about my hijab struggle. That it's hard to wear it here in East Europe where almost no Muslims live in according to studies 75 % are against having a Muslim neighbour. I literally need to have a roof over my head as a single woman and a job and being publicly Muslim risks both. I told her I've tried wearing it, but took it off 'cause it was hard for me. She then took my hand, pressed it, looked me in the eyes and said "You either wear it or you go to hell." I since quit going to mosque and Muslim gatherings but I practice on my own. The way born Muslims have treated me (also in the search for a husband and the fact Im autistic) has really dragged my mood down.
