Being muslim isn't what people think. (my experience)

- Published on Mar 12, 2026
- In this video I’m sharing what it’s actually been like for me being Muslim, because a LOT of people have assumptions… and most of them are based on stereotypes, not truth.
I’m talking about the things I’ve learned, what surprised me, what changed in my mindset, and why Islam has brought me more peace than anything else ever has.
This isn’t me trying to force anything on anyone. This is just my real experience, my journey, and my perspective - and if you’re curious about Islam or you’ve been confused by what people say online, this video is for you.
Let’s talk in the comments (respectfully). 🤍

❤ 80% of muslims aren't arabs, so don't say you're not muslim stereotype ! Islam is about peace in heart
cap bro
Exactly there are only about 20% of Arabs that are Muslim. In fact there are more Arab Christians than Muslim
The Messenger of Allah Muhammad Pbuh. said “O people, verily your Lord is one and your father is one. Verily there is no superiority of an Arab over a non-Arab or of a non-Arab over an Arab, or of a red man over a black man, or of a black man over a red man, except in terms of taqwa (piety)."
@seokjintv2042 thats not true arab muslim are more than arab Christians
@seokjintv2042 as an Arab, I highly highly highly highly doubt there are more Christian arabs than Muslim arabs. I think you are mistaken there friend.
Islam revealed in 23 years, not in 1 night. It can be overwhealming to apply everything instantly
I don't know even why muslims is also degrading Islam very well Quran is just revealed in 23 years how Islam in 23 years can you say about that any 25 profits mentioned in the Quran every persons are preached and practice The Slap their language is not Arabic yes but their practice this because submitted to will to one God Allah sent every Nation to prophet before Prophet Muhammad Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam era
@ameenmehaboobwhat
@ameenmehaboob what is bro yapping about 🥀
@ameenmehaboobbot
@ameenmehaboob i had a stroke reading this 🤣🤣
Take it step by step don't rush my Allah guide you
this is what the brothers said to me when i took my shahada at the masjid they just said "take it slow", and it was a huge weight off my back because i felt like i had to be perfect. i waited 1.5 years while researching but i knew in my heart it was the true religion.
May Allah keep you steadfast and keep studying and researching because the more you learn the more you understand the more your faith come stronger
Yeah absolutely. Gotta take things slow and not force yourself to have everything figured out from the get-go
ruclips.net/video/BH3iWcFtRG8/video.htmlsi=wU-M2gaWvTTQ2-xe
@env0x The essence of Islam, my brothers, is to avoid the major sins mentioned in the Quran. As for the minor mistakes in your life, God will forgive you even if you don't repent for them. This is what God said in the Quran. When you strive for perfection in anything, that thing will become corrupted. That's why we find extremist groups in every religion in the world today, and this is due to the pursuit of perfection.
Reverted to Islam 20 years ago, back in 2006, as 21 years old. Which makes me 40 now. Never doubted the decision. May Allah help you.
I am reverted from Islam. Raised and living in country with muslim majority. It has beautiful phylosophy. But It has wrong science, it's not holy. Just red Kouran or type to chat gpt "Kouran ayats that are wrong by science":

Yo, you are not a women but a man who have the right to beat her if she not subordinate to the rules and you. May Allah help her find a man that not follows the laws of your "Prophet". May he help you to find the truth.

It took me 5 years to put my hijab on
Im a revert. Been wearing it for over 20 years love it . Take your time sister.
There is no need to make drastic changes. As a fellow revert I'm giving you this advice. Take things slowly. It can be exhausting if you try to do everything that Allah asks us to do all at once after reverting. Some succeed in doing that and good for you if you can too but if you can't then level up slowly. Start at level 1. Just try to do the compulsory stuff. Then slowly start doing the sunnah stuff too. Muhammad(SAW) said the best of deeds are those that are consistent even if they're small. And remember this, the heaviest deed on the scale on the day of judgement would be a good character. So besides praying to Allah, also try to be the best version of yourself as a human. May Allah help you and us all always. Ameen.
Needed this thank you very much! I tend to try and be a perfectionist (also realized this after converting) I like to know it all NOW! But realize that is impossible! I did feel pulled to finally put the hijab on today at work. I was nervous. However I’m receiving nothing but love and it feels amazing! Thank you for your comment it did help me a LOT!
Alhumdulillah 🤍
@MyConsciousTake You've taken a great step today. May it be followed by many more. I hope soon enough you'll start wearing the hijab in your videos as well. Take your time.
@Anto99-x7wdon't advice too much
Islaam is not difficult religion
@MyConsciousTake- I love your approach and fully support the first comment in this thread.
Don't be too harsh towards yourself, but don't downplay what's obligatory to us as Muslims.
As you said You will Insha'Allah use hijab, but don't normalize or justify not using it..
Mostly fear Our Lord and Hereafter, and don't follow females like LilyJay, where it's almost become a game.
When she will or won't use it.
May Allah AZW protect you, your loved ones, and guide us All on the Straight path Insha'Allah 🌹🤲🏾
Since you are newly a muslim, You are 100% sinfree, therefore please pray for Our Ummah, Palestine, Sudan, the Uyghurs.
May Allah AZW give our current, so-called 'leaders', God-consciousness and fear The Hereafter, and make them United to stive for Our beautiful Faith and follow the Sunnah instead of current Western values.
2 tips though 🌹
- Don't reveal your sins, no one needs to know 🌷
- Remember sending blessing to Our Prophets, after mentioning their Blessed name 🌹
Isa Ibn Maryam *AS*
Musa *AS*
Muhammed *SAWS*
Beautiful advice, bro!!!! 💯
Hey. I am a Japanese Catholic Christian. I love muslims. Every year i go to a iftar with my Muslim brothers and sisters. And after i have seen the suffering in Gaza, i never have seen such a pure, and great servants of God, as my Muslim friends. God bless you. ❤ ✝️☪️🇯🇵🇵🇸
They show devotion sure, but don't be deceived by them.. they also have not so nice views about those who are NOT of their faith, they will never see you as True friends, although they view Jews and Christians as ''people of the book'' they will only ever be friendly towards you for ''Dawah'' perposes, understand their true nature and how it compares to other faiths, you won't see people wanting to harm others in the name of serving god, in other faiths.
Thank you, May God bless you and guide you and all of us.😊
I love your comment. I wish all our Christian brothers and sisters love like you. I used to be Christian but converted to Islam. God bless you
@rayeof_light Habibi, that is Haraam, If you knew your faith properly you would NOT be saying that, Unfortunately. but If you live life as a good person, then god bless that, If and when you come to a realisation that God should be about LOVE, Jesus is about that.
When the King speaks a word
It cannot be overturned
It’s as good as done
And when heaven touches earth
It can never be reversed
It’s the Kingdom come
So get the liars out the way
They don’t have the final say
There is only One
Sovereign and Supreme
Every word He speaks
Is holy
The Lamb of God has overcome
My testimony is His blood
And if He said that it is done
It is done
So be it God
To the One on the throne
Who cannot be overthrown
Sing Hallelujah
To the Last and the First
Ruler of the universe
Sing Hallelujah
To the Alpha, Omega
The Master, the Maker
The Name above
Every other name
Give Him all the praise
He’s holy
Jesus Christ of Nazareth.
I used to see my father cry while he was watching people on Tv convert to Islam, I simply didn’t understand why he reacted like that but now I understand because it is really really hard to find the truth. Most people are blinded by hate and can’t see the simple truth even if it is in-front of them. I now have a big respect for people who convert to Islam because they have chosen to truly look for the truth🙌 and not listen to all the propaganda on Islam.Allahuma barik(God bless you ) sister.
Find truth??
@Lmathe35445 yeah the truth. The truth that show you how to sleep with a 9-year old as a 40 year old. And even if Aisha was 19 it would still be sexual abuse since he was much physically and politically powerful than her and probably forced her to marry him as these types of marriages weren’t very prohibited at all. There were barely any laws prohibiting this at all at that time period. And the laws about this that did exist weren’t very enforced by the state.
@Lmathe35445 Sometimes Truth also finds you. Im a revert and never in a million years did I think id be a Muslim, but here I am. I wear my Hijab and without it id feel lost.
@hafsaa_izzyy
So you started following an illieterate pdfile prphet.
Tell me what truth does this pdfile prphet has to say?
@hafsaa_izzyyallahuma barik
Step by step sister, I’m a revert of 8 years from Éire 🇮🇪 only last year I stopped listening to music, only last year I started covering up in the gym or when I go swimming in summer etc. Islam is easy and it is clear but it’s a journey and none of us have the same journey. Welcome to Islam and I’m excited for you because I know how your life is going to change for the better. I still get goosebumps when I remember my Shahada 🥹🤲🏻
I dont agree with the music thing brother/sister. There is no clear unambiguous interdiction of it in the Quran or even in hadith. Picking up real good music with no obscene lyrics is recommended but think it's a little overzealous to reject it altogether.
@foofighter7683 No, it does mention it in the quran and hadith clearly, look into it more
@foofighter7683but music with bad words is haram 1009
@foofighter7683 it keeps you away from remembrance of allah , it play with your emotions ,so it directly harms you , it can make you sad and depressed for no reason , make you want to be in a haram relationship. instead of dhikar or reading quran or learning more Islam , so waste time on music. Only one thing can reside in your heart , either remembrance of Allah ad dhikar or Music. it poisens your life and glorify Haraam western culture.

As someone who also reverted to Islam, I feel that everything has been going quite smoothly so far.
This is because I never expected my life after reverting to become easier.
In fact, I always understood that it would be more challenging.
To me, the conclusion is simple, when you enter Islam, you are choosing to walk the straight path. And when you are on the right path, that is when Shaytan begins to test you, trying to pull you back toward the wrong one. After all, that is his role , he does not bother those who are already astray.
This may sound simple and somewhat judgmental, but it is the mindset that helps me navigate my journey.
Remember,
right path≠easy&fun path.
You are spot on
As Ramadan is coming i pray that bring joy & fulfills your soul i believe it will.

Don't worry about people criticizing how you perform your faith, worry about your internal satisfaction, no one is going to tell you if you're a good muslim or not, only god will
Well said
True, it's in the end your relationship with God, and God guides whoever He wants to guide.

Girl, I've been muslim since born. Even as a born muslim it takes time to fully learn about our religion. I didn't instantly wear hijab. It was introduced to me at early age, but it took me times to fully embrace it. Nobody instantly become good at something, everything needs process. And God judge us by our effort. We aim to be better than before, we learn along our way, and we improve ourselves.
Yes my sisters are the same
Same here
( سَنُرِيهِمْ آيَاتِنَا فِي الْآفَاقِ وَفِي أَنْفُسِهِمْ حَتَّى يَتَبَيَّنَ لَهُمْ أَنَّهُ الْحَقُّ )❤
93:7 ("And He found you lost and guided you")
94:6 ("Indeed, with hardship [will be] ease").
Take your time on this path, Emma; it's not a race, it's a lifelong journey.
God has strengthened Islam by bringing such a well spoken, intelligent minded young woman into the fold and has honoured all us Muslim's by extension.
We are all so proud of you sister, keep going!
And Allah says in Hadith Qudsi: "Whoever comes to Me walking, I will come to him running! Whoever meets Me with enough sins to fill the earth, not associating any partners with Me, I will meet him with as much forgiveness."
This Hadith make me cry every time . it always like this, I run like a crazy horse trying to do every thing right, aiming for perfiction, beting myself up for feeling sinful, and then I'm reminded agine, that his mercy is much greater than what I could ever imagin. The same who put me on the right path is the same who will meat me in the middle. Alhammdulelah on the blessing of Islam. Alhammdulelah that our fate is defined by his judgment and not by ours. الحمد لله
This hadith is so peaceful subhannAllah❤
Sounds kinda manipulative bro. "Whoever meets me with enough sins to fill the earth?" Are you kidding me? Why does Allah want people with sin? Read Riyad as-Salihin (Hadith 1871) for yourself, as it says Allah will wipe out all sinless people and replace them with people who have committed lots of sin. That's a sick God you call Allah.
As a fellow revert I understand the struggle sister. I hope you know we are so proud of you 🤍
Try your best... life is a test and has many challenges but just got to keep at it! By the way, the videos on the playlist on my RUclips channel titled 'Purpose of Life?' might inspire / uplift some people! The playlist has inspiring convert stories to Islam as well other interesting videos showing why Islam is definitely the true religion!
Revert for over 20 years here. Take your time. Just keep moving in the right direction. Like you said, it’s a continuous journey of learning.
this!!! and please don't ever be discouraged if you sin, faith/iman can be low sometimes, it's natural, always comeback to Allah and ask for guidance 🤍
Congratulations you left the peaceful teachings of Jesus Christ to follow the teachings of a literal pdfile worlord who trade sleaves had shax sleavs permitted wife bee ting and the selling of sleaves including shax sleaves. This is proven in crystal clear detail in numerous sahih hadiths of bukhari and muslim as well as the the Sirat by Ibn Ishaq (earliest biography of pdfile mohamad). Also western women supporting Islam and islamic migration to the west let alone becoming Muslims themselves is literally like Chickens defending KFC. Sharia law is basically psctn of women. The country implementing it in its truest form is Afghanistan under the Taliban. Allowing wife bee ting, canning for adultery and shax outside of marriage, stoning, and imposing a burkha/niqab mandate for all women above a certain age and also the allowance of 4 wives (maximum) per man in addition to existing shax sleaves (if a man posseses them). Once everything I said can be backed up the sahih hadiths of bukhari, Muslim, Al-Nasa'i and others as well as the Sirat (earliest biography of pdfile worlord Mohamad) already mentioned above
Salamo alaykom , i'm an arab muslim and i want to say that i'm happy to see new reverts to my religion and i can confirm to you that many muslim people doesn't learn enough from their religion so don't worry about that if you need something just ask imam of masjid or trusted sheikh and not random people because they are more qualified and deticated for being questionated not like normal people i wish allah to set your heart to the right path and have a nice day
I was born Muslim but I was agnostic because of all the sufferings we go through, but later realized our individual suffering is trivial compared to the universe. I look at the sky, trees, and the nature…. Kindness, and compassion… makes me say Alhamdulillah with joy and thanks to Allah for giving me this life to experience the world
Same here. The answer lies in the Nature.
May i know what kind of Suffering have you gone through?
Emmaleigh, as a Muslim I must tell you something;
You will find a LOT of stupid people online, and a LOT of Muslim haters and you will also see those who will pretend to be Muslims and they will tell you things like "🫵🏼You need to wear Hijab right now or else you're a fake Muslim."
They do this on purpose to affect you negatively. Their goal is to make you hate Islam and the Muslims.
So be careful and don't let them get to you. You're a smart girl and you did this because you chose to worship God alone. Remember that your goal is to be in heaven in the hereafter. You did not embrace Islam to satisfy anybody or be someone's friend or enemy. And you surely don't wanna go to hellfire and stay there forever in the hereafter.
Thank you again for the videos and God bless you! ❤
This is wonderful advice ❤️
May Allah guide us all
masallah wonderful advice 😁👍
What are you talking abt
💯💯💯💯💯💯
someone pretend to be muslim and saying something bad is everywhere.. you are right they did this on purpose.. the target always the new revert.. it happen here in my country too but someone thankfully built a community for revert and it help a lot.. i hope the sister can find a muslim revert community there.. it help a lot..
I'm a Palestinian Muslim, and I don't even look Arab
there are some Muslim Arabs who look European, some look African, there is no such thing as a Muslim stereotype, Islam is a religion not an ethnicity, and please don't rush things, remember no one is perfect at the end and everyone has made mistakes and will always keep doing some more at some point, but we are trying not to and that's what matters.
In fact, perfection is of different kinds, not just one kind. As for the perfection of God, this is only attained by God by virtue of His nature... As for the perfection of humans, the Messenger said that many humans have attained human perfection.
"some look African" - what you mean by 'african'? egyptian, ethiopian, or nigerian? The african tribes with blonde hair and blue eyes or green eyes, the south african tribes who look chinese? The somalians who look indian or what? As a palestinian, you're the LAST person on earth i thought would make a comment like that.
@Ed-xv4sy I meant African features which include tightly coiled or curly hair, fuller lips, and broader nose shapes.. it's not only about darker skin tones and there is Egyptians who don't have these features at all btw.. and i have a Palestinian friend who has these features more than a lot of Egyptians, nothing bad was behind my comment let's not get sensitive over nothing.. Because what I meant was the diversity of Muslims and Arabs in their features and genetic traits.
He also said "Europeans".
Why this did not sound "badly" to your ear, knowing that Europe is also diverse ethnicities.
As he said, no bad intention.
So to be fair: you owe an " I am sorry" to the Palestinian.
We are brothers and sisters of One Faith
If this helps anyone, remember Quran 2:286 and that no soul will be burdened with more than it can bear. Take your time on your path. Allah is Most Gracious and Most Merciful. Some things are easy for some and harder for others with things that may or may not be in their direct control (and things may take time). Peace be upon you and thank you for sharing!
Does help a lot thank you!
❤❤
dropping your ego, and leading a life that basically just makes you to happy to be alive is a fundmental aspect of islam like if youre not feeling that way youre certainly not doing it right or doing all you can to do to follow the guide allah gave us so clearly
Welcome, Sister. We're all proud of you!
Masha’Allah tabaraka’Allah ❤
I had a similar experience going through spirituality like Buddhism and Hinduism before reaching Islam. I was an agnostic pantheist and like the structure of Islam and used it to like meditate. Then learned more and became a Muslim Alhamdulillah. Keep it up sister. Remember our deen waxes and wanes. It will rise and fall. That’s ok. ❤
Girl i’m muslim, we claim you and welcome you with open arms. Take your time and what matters is to focus on your wellbeing and mental and physical health and I’m really really proud of you for quitting those addictions. Btw kudos for doing the facts search and learning the real religion and not whatever terr*r!st!c shi they claim it’s the Islam 😭😭😭
Love you girlie hope the journey is kind to you
It's from the beginning, read history you'll only get the time difference but the hate is same
it doesn’t matter if any of us claim her but Allah SWT, he knows her intentions and more. But it’s good you are supporting her ❤
@cryptoeli786 أتفق معك 👍
Welcome to the truth ❤️. Two important pieces of advice: Never listen to the haram-halal bots on the internet. The Holy Qur’an is the only book that is 100% true. Also, Hadiths can be authentic or fabricated (goes against the Quran).
اراء الضالين ، و حاط صورة لونبيس
Dude what are you saying ? We all know some hadiths are fabricated or weak but that's not it , sahih al bukhari and Muslim are one of the sources , so when you don't follow them talk for yourself ,but for Muslims it's one of their sources for halal and Haram and what to do and what to not to do , otherwise anyone can understand the Quran the way they want , like if you ask a terrorist why did he do what he did he will ask you look it's in the Quran , but he had a different understanding than you and the others, that's why the hadiths are there to explain the Quran in THE RIGHT WAY , otherwise like any religion,the true explanations will be lost
@ayyoubbouazizi7152 buddy no. That's tasfir that you are talking about. Without tasfir nobody would understand Quran, not even the most genius arabic dude in history. Hadiths are sunna, and we follow confirmed ones that don't go against what is in the Quran, but supports it or precise what we have to do, like for the way and steps to perform wudu or to pray or other things like that. Hadiths are about what our Prophet (SAW) used to say to his companions or what they witnessed him saying or doing, because he spoke directly with the angels sent by Allah that were teaching him about things and way to do certain things in support of Quran and other reasons because well he's a prophet. The Hadiths we can't be sure of are the ones that aren't strong and the ones that have no foundation, as for those that go against the Quran are not accepted at all. As Quran is protected by Allah until the Day of Judgment.
@jaeheekanghanyes ,well I mean more like elaborate, like all the 5 pillars are mentioned in the Quran ,hadiths elaborate on how and when extra,but yeah if a Hadith is the opposite of the Quran (which like doesn't even exist in bukhari and Muslim) it's not a source
You're doing great sister. Islam is a life journey to Paradise, not an instant change to perfection
A fellow westerner here. Ive lived whole winter in Egypt, in a coastal town, not too touristy, still traditional. The people have been absolutely amazing. Every day is good energy. If the religion can make them this friendly and peaceful, it must be good.
thank you💗
❤❤❤.
Your journey make you a true Muslim.
Love from Malaysia.
Don't make your sins public. Always Keep your sins private
Yes
Don't make your sins publicly
You will be sorry to Allah only
This is called tauba
Only tauba to Allah subhan wa tala
And always try to not do the sin fam🤣
Well said
Why ?
@zthzed6052 islamic principle
public sin is worse than in private
if allah keeps your secret u shouldnt tell it
Hello sis! Canadian muslim girl here and I am taking it slow myself! I dont plan on changing my name for example or anything like that ever I think though I did get a muslim name "gifted" to me by the imam at the mosque which was really beautiful "Maryam" for Mary. I do hope to wear the hijab one day but I aint rushing it. We just gotta be kind to ourselves and take things step by step and focus on spiritual self improvement while also living out our life in a good way. + most importantly is intention! If you have the intention to do better then Allah s.w.t will guide you to that path and help you
You dont have to change your name islamically unless the meaning in the name isn't good. So dont stress about it
Ramadan Kareem, sister 🎉
Who is honest and seeks the truth will find it for sure ( islam is the truth )
6:17 that’s one of my hidden questions when I was praying as a Roman Catholic waaay before i became Muslim. 🤔 Alhamdulillah for guided us to Islam.❤
Alhamdulilah brother
May Allah protect you
@MohamedHesham-mv5qs Allahuma Ameen
Sister im also a born Muslim, and tell you what many muslim will tell you, many things, but In Sha Allah, day by day, you will understand Islam, and you will get it. May God guide you through your life journey, and may Allah give you the strength and patience.☺😉
God*, 😊
Assalamuallikum from a person born into a muslim family! For as long as I can remember Islam has always been a part of my life and like with anything else, it meant i took it for granted. It's something I'm not proud of and its something im working on! But hearing about your story was really inspiring and reminded me of what a beautiful religion we have, so thank you for that. You're very articulate and and funny and I'm really happy for your journey back to Islam and pray for ease and blessings in your life
You actually very intelligent person, I like your way of understanding Islam. I been Muslim my whole life and still discovering Islam everyday. excited to watch your journey because I released I do learn from people who reverted a lot. they always have different perspective and come to things that would never come to my mind as a born Muslim. they also help me to not take anything for granted like that I am native Arabic and I can read Quran and understand it without effort. May Allah guide you through your journey.
Imagine being in long highway in desert and you have a car to pass through this very long road and you don’t know how to drive..until suddenly you see someone who gives you the manual for driving through road and showing you what you will find at the end of that road and what to avoid so as not to get astray..this is Islam and holy Quran
It's really beautiful to see this new generations are trying to find the truth by asking and searching not just accepting their parents religion without thinking Which will lead to the expansion of islam thanks to Allah ❤
hi emmaleigh :) i am also someone who is considering Islam (planning on converting), and i really like how you put your words into simple and straightforward explanations in a way that the people (non-muslims) can understand it. even before i knew Islam, i never understood how people can believe and pray in other Gods, other than Allah Himself. and now that i discovered Islam, i knew this is the right path for me to take. may Allah guide us in our journey :))
Even a few years ago I found myself probably thinking negatively about Islam. Then just within the first month of looking into actual facts not what people say I have seen the truth.
The way I see god (Allah) is being in the present moment. Learning how to control my emotions and thoughts was my step one. Once I finally climbed my way to the present moment it’s like wow, you can truly feel god. Just continue to pray to god to guide you to the truth !!!🤍🤍 revaluations is only first hand, learn to understand! I’ll continue to post more this is amazing to hear!🤍🤍🤍🤍
Well I also meditated and did deep breathe work. I now also pray like a Muslim. Makes my days feel and be amazing. You have to learn how to enjoy every single moment 🤍 alhumdulillah !
@MyConsciousTake Hi there, yes many people who eventually turn to Islam had negative thoughts about Islam before converting because many media outlets condition people to think a certain way about Islam... also many people from Muslim backgrounds are not the best representatives of Islam and do clearly haram things like drug dealing unfortunately!
But good news is despite all the negative propaganda against Islam, so many people across the world are seeing through the lies and finding the truth about Islam! Also, so many young people like yourself are becoming Muslim these days which great to see! Speaking of people converting to Islam, the videos on the playlist on my RUclips channel titled 'Purpose of Life?' has inspiring convert stories to Islam as well other interesting videos showing why Islam is definitely the true religion! Anyway, all the best to anyone reading this comment!
تذكري جوهر الإسلام هو الخضوع والاستسلام لخالق الكون الواحد الاحد.
Don't be persuaded by her, she's fooled by her own pride.
Also she says things that are objectively wrong. Judaism and the Torah requires multiplicity if the Devine, it wasn't until Christianity in 100AD that the religion changed its interpretation to exclude Christians. Also, Islam does for a fact impress all (through power) to join. If you do not join, you pay jizya, and are seperated from the rest of society. The Quran says not even to say "hello" to a non believer, unless they say hello first. Also, the "sharia" is not a derogatory term. It is literally the purpose for the prophets to reveal sharia. Which means law. For Islam to exist in its fullness, it requires to be the ruling religion of a country.
So, if you have questions, don't go based on "feeling", many people end up in bad lives because they trust feeling. Feeling can help guide you, but God gave us minds for a reason.
Message me if you have any questions. But don't be blinded by this girl. She's saying things she doesn't know.
Thank you for sharing this video, as a born muslim we have periods when we feel our iman (faith) is strong and periods when we feel far from islam and lost in wordly stuff, as prophet mohamed said faith increase and decrease, but we try our best through video reminders like yours, lectures, ramadan, quran, daily 5 prayers etc… may allah grant us his mercy and paradise inshallah , take your time learning even and growing we are each on our journeys
Alhamdulillah for your perspective!
Your explanation of being present in the moment and aware of your actions as key within Islam is on point. You’re learning very fast! But still, no pressure- learning takes time and can be at your own pace. So move at a pace that feels comfortable to you :) And hope you get to meet a muslim community or something as well, that could be helpful and beneficial. Wishing you lots of growth and prosperity
Yes, being able to integrate to the Muslim community is crucial for new Muslims! By the way, the videos on the playlist on my RUclips channel titled 'Purpose of Life?' might inspire / uplift some people! The playlist has inspiring convert stories to Islam as well other interesting videos showing why Islam is definitely the true religion!
Islam ☪️ 🕋 for all. Peace ✌️ ❤️ Love and Eternal Salvation 😊

No sign of islam and Ghazwa tul hind INSHA-ALLAH AMEEN
@GhazwatulDunyahعدم لبس الحجاب لا يخرجك من الدين لكن إنكار أنه ليس هناك حجاب فهو أمر ليس جيد
Its okay sister , go bit by bit , with baby steps , the more your channel grow the more you will get attension from left and right. May Allah S. W.T keep you Steadfast . Ameen
Thank you for sharing. This is my first Ramadan.
Thanks Dear Sister❤❤❤
Take it easy no need to hurry ,Allah will guide you ..❤
Even something like the prohibition of alcohol came in stages in Quran.
Islam was never meant to feel like an extreme overnight transformation. It was revealed gradually so people could grow into it.
Even Allah ﷻ didn’t send the Qur’an down all at once. It was revealed over 23 years, slowly with wisdom. The Sahaba( Prophet's companions)weren’t expected to flip a switch overnight.
Take small steps. Stay consistent. Allah sees the effort.
Little by little, sister. InshaAllah you’ll get there 🤍
Now that Islam is complete a person shouldn't embrace Islam in stages because all rules apply from the moment you embrace Islam. For example you cannot accept Islam and carry on drinking for a bit and expect no sin
@abaIdrisiyas That's technically wrong; because we have a hadith of a person coming to the prophet and telling him that they would accept Islam but only if they pray twice a day instead of 5 times in the beginning because it would be too hard to pray all 5, and the prophet accepted him saying that he would eventually start praying all 5
Point is that it's clear from the Quran and Hadith that it's completely fine to accept Islam in stages, as long as you do it with sincerity.
What about the prohibition of slvery and child marriage?
@Lmathe35445 there is a difference between prohibitions and obligatory acts; you can't do all the obligatory acts at once but you can avoid the prohibited acts
And even amongst prohibited acts some like drinking alcohol you are allowed to reduce it step by step.
This is because islam was made for humans not angels. Humans take time to change
@Lmathe35445 there's no prohibition of slvery and child marriage in the Quran or Sunnah
Love and respect from South Africa ❤❤❤
Respect Sister. Thank you. May Allah guide you and us all.
I was born into Islam, yet it took me thirty years to truly find it. For a long time, I lived adrift-just another soul among the millions who are Muslim by name but not by practice. But the moment I truly submitted, everything changed. My addictions withered away; my bad habits vanished. Now, the rhythm of the five daily prayers keeps me grounded and pure. I’ve replaced self-destruction with self-respect and replaced resentment with peace. My life finally has a center. They say that when you take one step toward Allah, He takes ten toward you-and it’s true. Welcome to Islam, my Sister. May your journey be filled with the light you’ve been searching for. 🤍
Sister, as a Muslim who recently became religous and started praying all 5 prayers and fasted and began learning my religion, the way i began was: praying once a day until im comfortable doing it, then 2, then 3 and 4 and now 5, take it slowly, gradually, and hopefully, ull become devout, i pray for u sister
بتوفيق
الله يثبتك على الحق
you do fit to stereotypical muslim btw. muslim by the word means submitted, surrendered in Arabic. you do look quite submitted and surrendered to the God to me. Don't let anyone comment about that.
You could have conveyed the same point better, bro... If stereo is the common, general format, then theoretically the general Muslim format is clear... Also, what is the definition of "subject to God" and "not subject to God"?
@Weld_Al-Bilad what is general Muslim format bro? every culture living the religion with harmony with their own culture. Stereo of being a Muslim is hidden in the shahada, if you say la ilahe illallah muhammadan rasulallah youre a muslim. thats the base, what is on top of that between the person and Allah.
@izzetcankarakoc
No its not, A Muslim has a specific form and set of standards, whether in word or deed, inside or outside; otherwise, he is not a Muslim. Your statement is incorrect. Simply reciting the Shahada is not enough. Where is the prayer? Where is the zakat? Where is the observance of Ramadan and its fasting? A person who does not pray is not a Muslim, and a person who does not pay Zakat is not a Muslim...... Culture is merely worldly, changeable, relative, transient, worthless, and simply a worldly pastime, Every culture you talk about includes Jews, Christians, pagans, and others... What separates Muslims from them throughout the ages is standards and values.
@Weld_Al-Bilad please educate yourself on how you can bring others to do these duties of islam you are mentioning. you may have good intentions but you are responding to the wrong comment and don’t seem to have true understanding on discourse. i don’t either but then i don’t make others feel bad on youtube either for their beliefs
@Weld_Al-Bilad Actions like prayer, zakat and fasting are essential parts of Islam, but a person becomes Muslim by sincerely believing and saying the shahada. Scholars have differed about ruling someone outside Islam for not practising certain obligations, especially prayer, but they agree that faith begins with belief. Practice is part of faith, but it usually grows over time.
Hey, I'm 40, and it took me 40 years to get to this point in my faith, so you've just started, don't beat yourself over it, enjoy the journey.
Mash’Allah, I see myself in you from 2 or so years ago. Ramadan Mubarak, im the only Muslim around me - enjoy learning things for the first time it’s a beautiful thing to experience when you look back, Salam.
*wa'alaikumsalam... Alhamdulillah all praised only to ALLAH* ❤❤❤
Being a Muslim is a journey not the end game. And remember this is personal connection of you and Allah. Everything else is how you want to make that connection become closer.
Yeah journey of following a pdfile prphet😅🤭🤭
Hi sis, I am a born Muslim but wasn't practicing. When I started to take my religion seriously, it was a slow process. I started with Salah at first. Because that's one of the pillars of Islam. In my free time, I also watched Islamic lectures. Especially lectures of Mufti Menk, Omar Suleiman, etc. And all of these took over 2 years. However, that's still not enough, as I am still learning. Funny thing? We will keep learning until death. We will never be perfect. But perfection isn't what Allah wants. He wants consistency and dedication. And that's even more important. Start with the pillars. Then gradually work your way up to other areas. Remember, don't strive for perfection but consistency and dedication. Because Allah SWT sees your struggles and will always and forever be there for you. That's the biggest perk of being a Muslim.
Great advice, great scholars. I concur with hearing lectures from scholars as well. Makes learning easier, they know how to braid hadeeth and verses in a way that increases retention, while making it easy to digest as well. God has truly blessed them.
Assalamu aalaykom sister. When I decided to embrace Islam last Ramadan (born Muslim but grew up away from practicing) I went ahead and practiced from the bottom of my heart, praying every prayer and trying to stick to the pillars as much as I could, and I lost most of my friends because of it. Allah is going to test you with friends and family and He surely will rest you within yourself as well, but seeing how you're going about it I ask Allah to keep you steadfast and may He bring goodness to your life and your hereafter
Arabs are the worse men and worse Muslims. All they do is look for women
I'm so excited for youuu enjoy your first Ramadan! Ramadan is about introspection but also community so try to break your fast with other people if you can it makes things happier and less lonely. If you don't know many Muslims yet, try to go a local masjid for iftars and taraweeh (night prayers in Ramadan after Isha) Ramadan Mubarak sistaaaa lifts of love from Canada!
Happy for you sister ❤❤❤
Very brave young woman. Welcome, sister, from fellow revert! Theeee best decision a person can make! Alhamdulillah
6:55 I asked ChatGPT what is the most responsible religion with no conflicts, the answer was Islam, being Muslim is being realistic and aware
My next sentence is completely irrelevant to what you just said but I'm gonna say it anyway bc I'm terrified (bc it has happened to people I'm close to) ChatGPT easily causes psychosis. And other AIs. Research abt it, there's a thousand cases by now
As muslim, i would say enjoy your journey as you mentioned. it's a life adventure, and the more u know the more you start connecting things to reality, and it makes absolute sense.
I wish you the best.
هذه الفتاة تتمتع بحركات طفولية لطيفة 😅 واضح عليها الطيبة والحس المرح، الله يثبتها ويقوي إيمانها، المهم إنها صارت مسلمة ووصلت للحقيقة.. بداية طريق موفقة إن شاء الله.
@ 1:52 ... Very true...
'4:33 ive been a muslim for basically my whole life and yeah theres been bad theres been good aswell and trust me ive felt this divine sense of peace in my heart too its almost amplified i can literally feel Allah WITH me sure some days where i lose track and give up its all too much it gets bad again but ik bc of that this is the true religion
Hello , I just discovered your channel and videos.
I’m a final-year dental student living in Turkey. Honestly, finding people here who are Muslim through genuine research, logic, and rational arguments is actually quite rare. Most people are afraid to question things, or they’re confused about how to question properly.
I personally spent a long time as an agnostic-I went through a 10-15 year period of on-and-off research. I looked at everything from the "Academic Quran" subreddits to various forums and RUclips channels. Even though I was raised in a Muslim family, I became extremely skeptical. For years, I lived with the constant anxiety of "confirmation bias." Since I was born in a Muslim country, I was terrified that I wasn't researching to find the truth, but rather just manipulating myself to satisfy a need to believe. It was a nasty feeling-necessary, but psychologically very difficult.
Later on, I spent hours researching with AI (a process that continues). What really struck me were the connections between Biblical/Torah texts and the Quran, and especially the "argument from sincerity" regarding Prophet Muhammad. I was so skeptical that I had to dig into the finest historical details. Another major turning point was comparing archaeological data with certain verses-specifically seeing historical facts about ancient civilizations in the text that would have been impossible to know at that time really impacted me.
A tip for others researching: When prompting AI, explicitly ask it to use "intellectual honesty" and remain completely neutral-tell it not to sugarcoat religion, but also not to romanticize atheism. I’m writing this because I know there’s a stigma that believers are just "gathering data to support their bias" rather than seeking the truth. We need to break this perception by using our intellect.
I also realize how valuable-and difficult-it is to approach the truth while living in a non-Muslim country. Here, we are born into it, but for you, there are extra barriers: media prejudice, misinformation, and seeing people who claim to be religious but don't live by it. Plus, cultural habits and unreliable hadiths often get mixed in with the religion, blurring the essence of Islam. Distinguishing between "cultural baggage" and the core of Islam is crucial.
There are some amazing Turkish resources I’ve found. If you’re open to it, reply with your email and I can send them as PDFs. You can upload them to an AI to analyze and translate; they are really worth the deep dive. I’m just leaving this comment to show support and let you know you aren’t alone.
Edit: I also forgot to mention one thing regarding language: I don’t think you should feel pressured to use Arabic terms for everything (like greetings or gratitude) just because you’re Muslim now. Yes, it’s beautiful since it’s in the Quran, but I believe the main purpose of the Quran is to understand and apply it. Language is just a tool and a cultural element. Turning Arab culture into a goal can sometimes create prejudice and distance people. It’s worth thinking about: Does the Quran actually command us to speak Arabic to be believers, or to understand the message? Just a thought to reflect on-of course, God knows best.🙂
evet arapça konuşmak zorunda hissetmemeli buna katılıyorum ancak eğer isterse Alhamdulillah Subhanallah gibi kelimeler kullanabilir, En öncelikle Kuranın arapça olarak inmesi ve Onu arapça olarak okuyor olmamız, Ezanın arapça okunması, namazda Allahın huzurunda arapça konuşuyor olmamız, Hz. Adem’in arapça konuşuyor olması (dünyadaki ilk dilin arapça olması) ve yine cennette konuşulacak olan dilin Arapça olması onu bu denli değerli kılıyor. Arapça çok kıymetli ve değerli bir dil, bütün çıkan diller ise onun kopyası, o yüzden arapça bilen insan diğer dilleri öğrenmekte zorlanmıyor bir kelimesi bile milyonlarca anlama kadar varıyor.
demem o ki, evet konuşmak ve arapça ifadeler kullanmak zorunda hissetmemeli ama bu ifadeleri kullanmak, - Esselamun Aleyküm, Allahu Ekber, Subhanallah gibi,- insana huzur veriyor, huzur vermekle birlikte Allah bize Okumayı (Alak suresinde) emretmiş buyurduğundan ötürü hem öğrenip hem uygulamak apayrı bir sevap. Yolda selam vermek sünnet gibi gibi. söylemek istediğim tek şey buydu umarım açıklayabilmişimdir.
@emilywthane I didn’t mean it in a bad way at all, just wanted to mention it as a side note because it goes beyond just language. For instance, Turkey has its own unique culture-we aren't of Arab origin, our roots are actually from Central Asia. But some people here, in the name of being "Muslim," try to erase their Turkish culture and adopt Arab culture entirely, and they really overdo it.
When they take it to this extreme, people who might already have prejudices against Arab culture naturally start approaching Islam with that same prejudice. This clouds their judgment and increases the chance of them making the wrong decision while researching the religion. So basically, even if it seems like a small detail, it can actually push people away
@emilywthanehazreti adem arapça mı konuşuyordu. Yani ortada arap yok iken arapça mı konuşuluyordu. Bak seni uyandırayım. Akadca ve aramice arapça'nın akrabasıdır. Bunlar proto sami dillerinden türemiştir. En eski arapça metin mö 1. Yüzyıl gibi geç döneme aittir. Ayrıca bütün alfabeler de fenike alfabesidir. Bak eski yunanca alfa beta teta, arapça elif be te. Görüyor musun benzerliği. Cennette arapça falan da konuşulmayacak. Kur'an'da sayılan 25 tane peygamber var, 15-16'sı ibrani kökenli. Buradan Yahudilerin düştüğü hataya düşme. Dil de ırk da kutsal değildir. Lütfen ya azıcık sağduyu, mantık ve izan.
@ethemyldrm7486hocam kız yeni daha bu konuda , hatalar olabilir . zamanla araştırarak öğrenilen şeyler
hi, i am interested in your turkish resoursces, i would like to analyze it through AI cause i want understand Islam better. let me know if you need an email. thanks :)
Ramadan is just round the corner. Happy Ramadan to all. ❤️
Do not know if you get to see this comment dear, but as a Muslim kurdish girl , who barely can watch any video to the end lately, i loved the way you talk and wanted to hear you and watched it till the end, and am extremely happy that you understand Tawheed ( in english it is called monotheism), En Shaa Allah you get to learn and grow day by day towards the right path🩷✨️
you got a sincere community of Muslim who would care and love you and help you in time of need without expecting any things in return,,,
9:02 Alaykom Asalam wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakatuhu my dear Ukhti 💖 🧕
4:57 Yeah that's a good feeling, knowing and feeling the present. However, I would warn you that you may lose your eager one day, which is common among Muslims, because it is kind of a test that shouldn't stop you. Keep it up.
"Our Lord, let not our hearts deviate after You have guided us and grant us from Yourself mercy. Indeed, You are the Bestower."
A useful dua that helps in this particular thing. (From Quran 3:8)
I believe that one of the most important things in life that we should look for the right things to do and try to avoid the wrong and harmful things whether for ourselves or for others. 🧡
Peace be upon you too and I love hearing perspectives of new Muslims and I love how you worded the video
Friend of my learnd Arabic in English letters . Than he beginnings to pronounce it , after two years he knows 14 SURAS. From his head , in perfect Arabic accent. Now after three years his wife and two kids 17 , 20 years old. Embraced Islam with sincere heart's , and are more happy than ever before as family .
The hijab is always a topic directed at female converts, while we all know that many women who were born Muslim do not wear the hijab. So, do you think it's a good idea to criticize someone new to Islam about the hijab when their faith is still in its infancy? Don't you know that Islamic law is implemented gradually? There must be a reason behind it all, why it took 23 years to perfect the rules of Islam. Therefore, let's be wiser and gentler to our sisters who are new to Islam. Give them kind words that nourish their faith and increase their happiness, rather than criticizing them for something that is still foreign to them. If something happens to their faith, will you be willing to take responsibility? What will you say to your God when you are asked in the afterlife about your treatment of your sister who recently converted to Islam? Yes, your intentions are good, but they must be conveyed in a kind manner and at an appropriate time. May Allah forgive us all
Mashallah, sister! Seeing your journey reminds me of this beautiful verse: 'And whomsoever Allah wills to guide, He opens his heart to Islam.' It fits you perfectly.❤😊
i’m currently learning about Islam and your statement about only being connected to Muslims hit me so deep. i have always felt drawn to Muslim content creators but never heard anybody else mention that feeling. im trying to just keep curious and learn about Islam to see if it is right for me and not rush anything. thank you for making your videos, it’s incredibly helpful for me
Took me about a year and a half to fully realize it’s for me! There is no rush!❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Your words are beautiful, my sister. I pray that you remain steadfast in Islam. Greetings from Syria.
0:25 you're doing a lot. You're special, you're enough 💗
Bismillah hir rahman nir raheem
Say, “He is Allah, [who is] One,
Allah, the Eternal Refuge.
He neither begets nor is born,
Nor is there to Him any equivalent.”

Assalamu Alaikum wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakatuh. May Allah keep your faith firm.
I was born Muslim, and honestly I sometimes envy reverts because they actively seek the light. My advice to fellow Muslims is please do not pressure reverts too much. Their faith can be fragile at first, but with gentle and firm guidance it can become their strongest foundation in this life and the next. Teach them the basics first. Salah, partial ablution, the pillars of Islam, and Tasawwur Islam. Things like covering awrah take time. Days, weeks, months, or even years. That journey should not be rushed. But advising them to slowly and sincerely leave haram behind is still important. With wisdom, not force.
One advice for reverts and Muslims alike. Do not align Islam with other religions in a faithful way. I fear this is where syaitan can slowly mislead the heart. Islam is one religion. Muslims may have branches, but in the end we are judged individually by God. Being a good person alone is not enough. Be a humble servant. Humility in belief, actions, and intention.
If you are interested in theology, I personally recommend Blogging Theology. He is also a revert, and his approach is calm and thoughtful. Lastly, please avoid using labels like ex religion or whatever. I dislike that framing. Be respectful to other religions too. At the very least, they believe in a Higher Being.
Thats sick to feel envious.. Allah blessed born Muslims with the truth from birth.
@ARcovepkI don’t feel it’s cool to judge someone for using a figure of speech. His comment was stellar. I “envy” Muslims who were born Muslim. However that’s a figure of speech. I realize we all have our own paths! Everything we go through is meant to be that way!❤️❤️
Thank you for commenting!!! In the very beginning of this journey I was frustrated with not knowing everything (I tend to be a perfectionist) now it’s smoothing out. Small things I’m adding here and there! 🤍🤍🤍
@MyConsciousTakeits just sad how born Muslims automatically view themselves as inferior because they are born Muslims when they see a revert. Its very bizarre. Born Muslims automatically put reverts on pedestals. I mean I believe no one should be put on a pedestal. We are here to worship God, not each other.
@ARcovepk I meant envy as admiration for their effort, not dissatisfaction with being born Muslim. 😌
Alhamdulillah for Islam❤
aku menangis melihatmu..karena hatimu bisa terbuka...dan berfikir jernih ...iyu adalah cahaya tersensiri buatmu...❤
Its OK,,,,, ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ Islam is Universal,,,,,,
لن أمل من سماعكِ تتحدثين لساعات عزيزتي و اشجعك على أن تبحثي وتتعلمي ، أسأل الله الواحد القدير ان يوفقك و يحفظكِ 💓
Just be your self... and accept the light to found your piece
I think you are mashaAllah both at the right place and the right path. I think your explanation spoke at a personal, deeper level to me, even though I grew up a Muslim (and still am alhamdolillah). I learned a lot that is of great benefit for my own path. Jazakallah khair sister!
Wow. Just wow. Im truly amazed by your discoveries and your journey on converting to Islam Emma. It really brought me joy. How you talked about realizing that alchohol, weed, and drugs were bad for you, about how you understand your actions better (in the moment/present), everything. And obviously.....its a huge transition. You wont be able to do everything right off the bat. Take your time, learn new things along the way.......and dont be afraid to make mistakes...because Allah is indeed the most forgiving, most merciful. The fact that you were able to pierce through the propoganda and see this with an open mind is IMPRESSIVE itself. You should be proud of yourself. I know I am
Welcome sister.....we're glad to have you ❤
Praise be to Allah 💪
Hijab doesn’t even need to be the arab style. Headdress, traditional or not, is something that all cultures have. But more important is modest dress. Its better to wear loose dress and no hijab, than hijab with revealing/tight dress
It is better not to say something that carries sins; the hijab is an obligation in Islam and not cultural, and it is very important, but step by step.
No. Head should be covered man, where do you get this from?
Welcome to modern islam 😂😂😂
Hijab isn’t something should be forceful. I was born Muslim. I spend my entire 18 or 19 life without hijab. (As a Bangladeshi we women do dress modestly. And yeah i believed in Allah, prayed and other things.)
At the age of 16, my father asked me if i would like to you know covering up and trying hijabs. And i said not now. Because i had so many questions about my religion at that time. And i am greatful that my father didn’t forced me for that. Because if he did that day, i would've hate my religion or might thought that Islam suppresse women rights and shit like that. But no. Then i started to learn my religion slowly. At the age of 19 or something, i myself choosed hijab. And i am still learning and trying.
Moral of my speech is, we should frist learn then start to adapt them.
Now i can't go out without my hijab and niqab or else i feel naked😭.
Can you please tell what platforms you used to learn about islam? I'm in the same situation as you were so I need help
@JoyfulPomegranate i tried listening to Sheikh Abdur Raheem Green. His lectures really helped me
@JoyfulPomegranateI actually started learning Islam by reading some books( the writer is Bangladeshi. And his writings answered many questions i had about Islam).
But i am still listening the lectures from Mufti Menk, Zakir Naik, Noman Ali and some others Bangladeshi Muslim schoolers.
And as RUclips channel, "Towards eternity" is my favourite one. I advice you to watch their videos, they have many reverts stories and some videos that explain Quran easily. Especially i like the videos that analyze Quran and Bible.
And lastly, i can say, after you start analyzing Islam on your own, you will find others platforms you like yourself. We girls stay away from our Iman only because we don't know what rights Islam gives us. And if you are thinking about starting to start hijab. then start with small things, like wear hijab with loose dress, avoid tight dress and leggings. Try the habit to cover your head or hairs. Then eventually you will find yourself what you dream of.
Hope this will help you😊.
May Allah help you❤.
@RounuckJahanRituMay I ask you to watch some videos of a specific scholar so that you can understand Islam better?
@HumayraJahan-g6m5dMy first Islamic schooler was Dr. Zakir Naik. Then a schooler from Bangladesh. And after that, Mufti Menk and Noman Ali khan became my favourite.
If you want to know a specific schooler's name who guided me to learn Islam better, then the answer is, it was a book (books name: paradoxical Sajid, writter: Bangladeshi, Arif Azad.) who answered all of my questions.
(I used to be confused to see other religion. And i used to thought why they do that but we don't)
And after listening all those schoolers speech, i was like "yeah that make sense, that book gave me same message"
take your time and enjoy it, i’m muslim since born but i feel the same as you.
I really enjoyed the fact that you mentioned being present in the moment. Being present in the moment, being grateful to Allah for what you have at the moment, not only during good times but also bad times. Ramadan Mubarak.
Sister, first of all, you have been blessed with the greatest gift of guidance, you cant even imagine how special you are to Allah to the point where He wrote for you in your fate, guidance and to be a Muslim.
The Quran was revealed over the course of over 20 years. Therefore, never think Allah expects you to be a perfect Muslim overnight, but also in general because He created you as imperfect so even if you tried to be a perfect Muslim, you wouldn’t be able to because Allah says in the Quran He created us in a way where we are a prone to sinning again and again so that we can ask for forgiveness again and again and gain the reward for repentance and also Allahs pleasure because nothing is more beloved to Allah than a sinner who repents. How beautiful is that?! Allah Himself telling you sin is a part of your nature since He created you as such and so that’s why sister, always repeat astaghfirullah ( which means I repent to you Allah) under your breath every single day, utilise your mouth when it’s unoccupied with Dhikr (remembrance of Allah). Whenever you commit small sins for example you say a swear word, or you lose your temper, literally follow it with astaghfirullah and Allah will wipe your minor sins away.
For it says in the Quran, “As for those who repent, believe, and do good deeds, they are the ones whose evil deeds Allah will change into good deeds. For Allah is All-Forgiving, Most Merciful.”
Allah is more merciful than your own mother. Never think you’re too sinful to be a good Muslim or to sinful to be forgiven because Allahs mercy is a concept we can never understand even we tried. Allah tells us He will forgive us even our sins amounts to the foam of the sea!
where was his mercy when I tried Islamic things like fasting for a whole month, meanwhile my family was dieing from cancer.. Surely he could not see those ''deeds'' and decided to save him, I should have got closer to Jesus Christ instead but it was not my time at that moment in my life, to realise that he is real, and that he is the way the truth and the life, there are countless experiances of people praying to Jesus and being saved in one way or another, with his grace we can all be saved and born again.
Islam is not give and take. You don’t do a good deed with the expectation to receive something in return from Allah. That makes your intention insincere and against the whole point which is to do a good deed to please Allah and reach paradise. Not I’ll do good only if you give me this or that otherwise I’ll leave Islam….?
Jesus is a prophet of Allah, he is a human being who worshipped Allah. He will come one day soon and break the cross and tell Christians they are the misguided ones. You cannot worship a creation of Allah, worship the creator. Muslims also love and respect Jesus but as a prophet of Allah who spread the message of monotheism, not His son nor God. You denying this is is out of ignorance.
Your family suffering from cancer was a test from Allah to see what you would do, would you pray to Him and keep your faith in Him even stronger, or would you leave the right path out of foolishness and desert your faith. From what you have said, it is clear you failed Allahs test, you still have the chance to turn back and repent, however if not, you will suffer the punishment in the hereafter and the grave. If you want paradise, accept Allah as the creator and Lord of the heavens and the earth, the creator of prophet Jesus who you think can heal you when all power and healing comes from Allah alone, He is the only one worth of worship! Not a mortal human being! Such is your ignorance to stay on the wrong path! Turn to Allah the Almighty and see how peace will return to your heart like never before!
@PathofTawbah11 Speaking to someone who lost family with blame and threats is not the way the Prophet taught us to call people to Allah. Hardship and illness are not signs that someone “failed”. Islam teaches us to respond to pain with mercy and wisdom. Guidance comes from Allah, and our job is to invite with compassion, not judgment.
@boxeaxee. Excuse me? Where have I spoken with blame and threat? Please avoid baseless claims. I have responded to a person who has left Islam which is the biggest sin. The reason people are weak in their faith nowadays is because of this so called “soft dawah” that focuses on telling people what they want to hear rather that what the Quran and Sunnah states. By all means, calling to people to Islam in a gentle manner is sunnah, however when it comes to those who were a Muslim and left, you must speak to them firmly and not sugarcoat anything, go straight to the point, especially when they claim blasphemous things that are against Allahs oneness. That is what I have done, I have not insulted them nor have I attacked them. I have simply stated their belief to be wrong which is what is required of a Muslim. And I never stated “hardship” is failed, I said that hardship is a test and he failed by leaving Islam because of resentment and anger towards Allah for giving him this hardship! Perhaps you misread my comment. A hardship is a hidden blessing to those who treat it as such, but those who turn against Allah and treat the hardship as a punishment from Him are the wrongdoers and must be called out. And the fact that the delivery is more important to you than the message is disappointing and explains the state of our ummah today.
@PathofTawbah11 Look at how you respond to someone, you have a lot to work on. So you're claiming I was a Muslim now? when Did I ever take your shahada, I never did, you're worried about people leaving it so you go down the path of reminding people how it's one of your faiths biggest wrong actions to take which puts their life at risk, look to be clear I know your kind, Apostates or non believers they are all fair game for you anyway, it makes no difference to the heart who chooses hate because your daft enough to think you will be rewarded, but guess who judges people.. and has the finale say GOD, fear him for he has the power to destroy your soul. I tried ramadam once as a non muslim, one because I had close work collagues who were muslim and two to better understand you all, It was an experiance but yes I said what I said, and I never blamed God at all for what he went through, or left your faith I was never part of it, or Interested in becoming it more then just the experiance of your fasting in the first place, I know what the true God is and It's not one that calls for his creation to hate other parts of his creation. May God alongside Jesus guide you all toward what really matters.. You can look good on the outside but if your inside is rotten then rethink the life you lead.
