Halfway through reading the Quran for my first time I knew I had to become Muslim. Alhamdulillah I’m a white American and it’s been around 2 years now! It’s the biggest blessing one can ever receive
Me too sister, and on June 2nd this year I embraced Islam after months of intense studying. I pray all people come to know about Islam and embrace it but more so my Adventist people. They are good people but the doctrine they follow is rooted in false prophecy (they said Jesus was to return to earth on October 4th 1844) meanwhile Jesus himself said of the hour, no one knows except the father and you'd think the Adventist doctrine will repent after the failed prophecy but no, it's renovated to mean Jesus rather went to the "holy of holiest place" in heaven to complete his atonement as his earthly atonement was incomplete, meanwhile the Bible says Jesus said "it is finished" before he gave up the ghost, I ask what is the difference between finish and complete? They(Adventists) purport to strictly follow the Bible but when you compare these doctrines they teach to the Bible, it is grossly misleading, contradicting to the sayings of Jesus as reported in the Bible. Today, I look at my Adventist folks and all I can think is for God to guide them away from following con man(William Miller) and pseudo prophetess (E.G White). The woman was a prolific writer no doub,t but not a prophetess by any stretch of the word. May Allah guide them to the truth
kinda sad to see somebody lose a weak concept that cannot be taught with proper logic. poor soul who has lost christianity which is faulty anyway.@@sorrynotsorry3264
I was gifted this exact Qur’an in Feb 2021. I read it and everything just made sense. After a lot of researching and reading, and feeling that Islam was the truth, I converted to Islam in August 2021. It is the best decision I have ever made in my life.
As a convert to Islam, initially, the 5 daily prayers can be difficult. Still, it becomes easy after a short period, so much so, that one begins to get anxious if one cannot pray as soon as prayer time comes and the only relief comes from doing the prescribed prayer. There is such a sense of peace that one gets from the prayers and it sustains you throughout the day, when we're awash in worldly concerns.
It is never easy. It is however necessary ...I differ in telling people that they will find "peace" merely by praying because people give up if they don't get that magic all over feeling you describe. Prayer is work. It is necessary because it renews our covenant with Allah every second raka and it tells our own mind to behave. It's not about that "peaceful easy feeling" and should not be touted as such. It's a requirement like brushing owns teeth....a kind of hygeine for the soul and I don't know about you but brushing my teeth at 10 pm or 4 am is not "fun". It is necessary though because I would never dream of talking to a stranger while having bad breath. So, just saying.
May God increase your faith and light. I do not know you, but from your comment I know that you are my sister in Islam. I hope that you will pray for me in your next prayers. Thank you very much in advance.
I am a jamaican Muslim and I can read the Quran in arabic its not hard. This is Allah and Allah made the Quran easy for anyone who is a Muslim to read Allah made all human beings so it is made easy for all regardless of where you come from your back ground black white Chinese etc. That's the whole point . When you begin you like hhuhh but when you keep going you like that it actually was easy I just needed to keep going keep practicing! Trust me I'm a Revert black jamaican it looks hard because of the new lettering and sounds but ALLAH made it easy for all mankind that embraces Islam, also many Muslim memorise alll surah in quran even children young as 5 so there ypu go it's about practice and good intention for understanding and guidance it's just about keep going keep practicing and you will see !
Yeah, you are correct. i have a bit difficulty while talking or even reading English but when I read quran I can read it very very easily and smoothly. Allah Hu Akbar@@maryan8798
I would also like to point out the Prophet said that those who read the Quran are rewarded but those who read it and make mistakes because it's hard for them are doubly rewarded you are rewarded simply for trying keep at it brother inshallah it gets easier
Who cares if you can memorise. Means nothing. People memorise telephone books, doesn’t make it holy. Try studying your text carefully instead of following what your muftas and madrasah teach. Use your God given brain, that’s why it was gifted to you. To question things.
We Indonesian, are not speaking arabic, yet millions of us memorize the whole/parts of Qur'an. Btw, dont burden your self focusing to the language, but take step by step , litle by little learning process, if u feel uneasy with translation then try to find further explanation in tafseer. May Allah grant you with knowledge and wisdom ❤
No wonder you have no time to work and improve yourselves then. It's about as useful as memorising a German newspaper just so you can claim you can recite it.
@@byteme9718 wdym, the santris (which is islamic boarding school students) helped the independence of Indonesia. Religion helped the development of the country, and led us to where we are today. Now think again of how we have no time to improve. Reciting is used so that the Quran wouldn't be lost even after all the texts are gone
“Take advantage of five before five: your youth before your old age, your health before your sickness, your wealth before your poverty, your free time before your busyness, and your life before your death.” - Prophet Muhammad ﷺ
@@jared2244 Around a thousand years ago Imam Muhammad Al-Ghazzali told story of a man walking in the jungle. A roaring lion ran towards him and the man ran as fast as he could to escape from it. He noticed a well in front of him and he jumped inside hoping to escape from the lion. As he was falling inside the well, he grabbed onto the rope and saved himself. The man was so relieved but when he looked down he saw a big snake at the bottom of the well. It had its jaws wide open ready to swallow him up. The man then looked up and saw two mice nibbling at the rope. A black mouse and a white were both chewing into the rope. The scary lion was still prowling outside the well. The man's heart was pounding as he wondered how he could escape from this. Then he noticed a honeycomb in front of him which had delicious honey dripping from it. He stuck his finger into the honey and put it inside his mouth. It was delicious and for a moment he forgot about the lion, the snake and the two mice chewing at the rope. Imam Ghazali explained that the lion is like the angel of death which is always looming above us. The snake was like his grave which all humans will face. The black mouse and white mouse were like the day and night which are always nibbling at our life (the rope). The honey was like this dunya (this temporal world) which with its momentary sweetness makes us forget the death and the eternal life. ........... . . ..
@@jared2244 because life is short but we will live forever after death and the most important thing today is useing our short time to "think". Thinking wizely is the only way to salvation. Quran always say : think !

Embraced Islam 10 years ago. I'll have to talk for hours to explain why its a true unchanged religion. But if I were to sum it up, I'll say this "it makes perfect sense. Nothing seeps through the cracks"
Yeah me too, I met some Muslim brothers who I befriended on a game. Safe to say we are friends IRL and we had mutual friends, I was born Muslim however I only knew the basics. However, after knowing the history I would like to say it is definitely 100% the true religion. Good to have you with us brother, Barakallahu Feek!
If he reads about his life then he will leave Islam like I did. I am Algerian and didnt really even know a lot of the things until I moved the USA. I thought it was lies at first. I didnt even know that other religions existed. I think the more he learns the less likely he will follow Islam. @@andreeas.2362
Nothing brings me joy than seeing people give themselves time to actually read the Qur'an rather than just going by societal narratives❤ Allahmdulillah
@@nakkadu So far I see nothing but everything that makes sense…you might wanna reconsider your vision on ‘true life’🙏🏿it’s not your fault I was like you
It is my favorite prayer too! If I have pray my Fajr, I always think by the permission of Allah I could rule the world! "Observe the prayer from the decline of the sun until the darkness of the night and the dawn prayer, for certainly the dawn prayer is witnessed ˹by angels˺" QS. Al-Isra 78.
Just waking up early, when everything still dark, pray your 2 rakaah fajr prayer, in the cold dark calm serene morning. Just you and your god. You can tell Him anything. Ask for anything. Be thankful for everything. Vent out all your worries. 1 to 1 talk. You gonna feel so good after. No rush either. Can take your bath. Your breakfast. Or has an early morning run before work. Its prime your day for a good start.
Dont over burden yourself at beginning, take a step at a time. When you have a delicious cake if you eat it all at once you will have hard time eating, but if you eat slowly you will be enjoying yourself.
The Quran was sent down over 23years, so please take your time brother and take baby steps. May The Almighty bless you and guide you to the true religion of Islam.
I am a muslim, watching your video and crying. All praise is due to ALLAH. Thank you for posting. Please make more videos of Quran reading. May Allah guide you to the right path.
I admire your openness and curiosity. I’m a practicing Muslim, and this religion gives me peace within and constantly centers my moral compass. Most importantly, it drives me to become better as a human, and at whatever I do, while simultaneously reminding me not to be attached to this worldly life…. it’s almost like a superpower.
I m from pakistan, but i speak sindhi which is a language of state not the country (urdu) but i can read arabic, and also memorised the quranic surahs. Alhamdulilah, I m a born muslim but i had to find islam myself; i realised every person has to find islam themselves It doesnt matter if you are born muslim. Praying 5 times is difficult for some but it gives me so much discipline and PEACE. May Allah guide you to straight path brother, please talk about falastine Edit: Wrote this comment 4 months ago, now its april 2024, our brother accepted islam ❤ I m so glad Ma sha’Allah ❤❤❤
I am Muslim born but was baptised and raised in a catholic school. Now with recent events I've been researching and learning, and I finally found a translation using names in English that are the same people mentioned in the Bible and Torah. That made a huge difference for me in understanding the similar stories narrated.
The one thing that's always drawn me to this religion is the unity of its people. I don't know if you've seen it but I might have a Caucasian Muslim friend who could go to a Ugandan village, just say Assalamu alaykum to any Muslim and they suddenly have this family connection with all these Arabic terms. It's quite fascinating and very unique
Not really, this is a case among many different groups... Christians, Buddhists, different sects, or even nations, expats. Simply among those who share something dear to them.
Nah, it's our religion that binds us together as one ummah. It's hadith(saying) of Prophet Muhammed(peace be upon him) that muslims are like one body. If there's pain in one part of the body, the whole body becomes restless.
@@TruthIslam-wr9sk Umma, church, Sangha, nation, tribe. It's important to have a group you belong to, you can find help n anywhere then thanks to the bond. The best bond is humanity though. Unfortunately, we still live in a world where groups stand against each other and forget about what connects them.
@@AvesPasseri-Jinysvet yes it's true, but it's just my observation. Until now I've not really ever seen two Christians from different parts of the world meeting and suddenly connecting with with these ancient words and creating a family bond over Christianity. I know many Christians who meet other Christians very casually with hello or hi, but I see Muslims from different parts of the world saying alhamdulillah and asalamalykum even though none speak Arabic! Even when I see Christian aid workers abroad in other countries in Africa, I've never seen them greeting each other or identifying each other through Christianity or the likes from any other religion the same way I've seen from Muslims who meet each other
Before I was praying regularyl, I first made duah and asked Allah to make one of those who never missed prayers. I am going 6+ years strong and the morning prayers are really hard but I am woking on sleeping early and trying to sleep after praying.
That's the right way. 1. Sleep early(after isyak prayer) - then, you can wake up early, insya Allah 2. Don't forget the DOA(asking God to make it easy for you to do tahajjud) Have a nice day, bro
As a Muslim, i have to say i am surprised to see how spot on your understanding of Islam was here. We do believe the Koran was perfect preserved and verbatim the word of Allah, though interpretations may vary. I wish you read the full book and do another video like this. Lastly, Allah guides who he wills and if your heart is drawn to Islam then we welcome you brother!
I've been a muslim my whole life but like many muslims in arab world we deviate from it and get lost in the temptations of life but thank allah I've renewed my islam again and started praying all prayers on time and fast whenever i can and now for the first time in my life i have a purpose again my life is full again not feeling like an empty shell and depressed again Truly quran really fixes your soul and heart from the dunya (life)
You my dear beloved brother don't realise it but you are already speaking some Arabic Just the gracious uttering you blessed us with "insha'Allah" you said so yes my brother your doing better than you realise Subhanala May Allah SWT keep guiding you insha'Allah Aameen Ya Rabbal Alameen
@@maulinux1 mate he’s just comparing the Quran to what he has already read, to well… make a comparison and give an overview. If you think that’s wrong and unjustified and I’m sorry mate you HAVE a peanut brain 🥜
Thank you for giving such an honest and clear explanation on the Quran and beliefs of Islam and in such a respectful way. May Allah guide and reward you.
Your summary of the opening surahs is very astute. It's an excellent introduction to the beginning chapters of the Qur'an. I'm really pleased and grateful for your respectful treatment of the book and our Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah upon him). Such an open-minded and open-hearted attitude is truly commendable. May God open your heart and guide you to truth.
@@samlebon9884 I don't speak Arabic but when I learn surahs I read the English meaning a few times before the Arabic as it makes it a lot easier to memorize the Arabic after. Otherwise, you're just making sounds.
its actually quite easy to memorize the surah because they all are written like poetry. I don't speak arabic but i still remember many surahs i learned when I was a child still today
Subhan Allah, a lot of people who read the Quran out of curiosity seems to have similar experience, they say they did not expect it the way it is and it answers a lot of questions they had in their mind.
May Allah give you enthusiasm for learning and knowledge of Quran and hadith. My 4 year old grandson has memorized several surahs juz 30 just by listening to his mother reading them. Also memorize several Arabic prayers and their meanings. Even though we don't speak Arabic. SURAH AL-QAMAR (54: 17, 22, 32, 40)
I really enjoyed listening to this. I'm currently memorizing the Quran and have many friends that have completed it. It's always nice hearing someone's thoughts when they first open it. Also, I absolutely love listening to its recitation. Maybe I'd recommend Abdurahman Mossad. Excited to hear more of your thoughts.
Agree. Any person who decides to sincerely study the Quran whether the person is a Muslim (in which case it is already an obligation upon the person) or Non Muslim, in order to know and understand what Islam and Quran is all about and to know who Allah is, has been truly and most certainly been blessed with a mind and heart that is open to truth and a humble nature that will insha'Allah make the person realize and accept guidance that will benefit him/her in this world and the hereafter. May Allah guide and keep steadfast this brother in the video and all others like him who are studying the Quran. Aameen.
The five daily prayers will clean out all the daily minor sins. Any time we prayed we seek forgiveness, and Allah most merciful will forgive us. My allah guide us and accept our prayers. Amin.
Five daily prayers for our soul is like the minimum daily food and water for our body. Without them the soul withers and eventually everything good in it dies. And just like our health depends on the quality of food, the health of the soul depends on the quality of the prayer/Salah which is namely the strength of our connection with the Creator of that soul, Allah, and this can only be improved by seeking and following Allah's guidance.
I converted 25 years ago ... well, my parents showed me their christian and atheist view, but i searched something else. So the thing i want to say is, i have few doubts with the opinion of Muslims and scholars, but i really never have a doubt in the Quran. It's right, it's from above, it's the Truth.
Just stumbled across your channel. Firstly excited to hear the Welsh accent and secondly appreciate the respectful manner in which you are undertaking this journey. May you be blessed with many openings
The prayer may be difficult at first when trying to pray on time but what I've found out is that the more consistent I was with my prayer, the more I found myself running back to it. It was and is a sort of refuge for me to seek guidance, forgiveness and help from my master. It brings me consolidation and peace to know that my master is Most Merciful, All Knowing, All Seeing and All Hearing. He knows my situation best and knowing that I'm able to be at peace with whatever comes my way.
Love your energy and enjoyed your honest. Made me smile - your experience is exactly what most of go through as muslims learning to be muslims! 😊 thank you for the smiles and bless you on your journey.
Thanks for this video! Im new to studying and reading it..and definitely new to trying my arabic! Its an excellent video with a good, informative and kind message. Thanks!
I never comment on videos, but I am impressed by how you noticed and pointed out fundamental realities, like Allah’s mercy and consideration of human mistakes and forgetfulness. I truly wish for you to enter Islam. May Allah guide you to his path.
I can hear it in your voice and I can see it in your eyes! You have been guiding by Allah to his message. I hope Allah gives you more of that and reward you with a good life and the best grades in the end.
May Allah make this journey easy for you brother and im glad to hear your summarisation of each chapter you read so far and its quite accurate. If you ever need any help or advice feel free to reach out. May Allah bless you. Ameen
It looks like a mega task to learn arabic, memorise the surahs and duas but Allah makes it easy once you decide to learn. you just have to be honest in your intention. Just know that you will be tested along the way! its to see how honest you are and to elevate your ranks as a reward for your determination!
As a revert, I feel you. It's gonna be a little tough in the beginning but it's not a sprint, we learn everyday in our lifetime. Once you get the hang of salah, it gets easier. Allah is the most merciful and most benevolent. Our struggles in reciting the Quran is rewarded doubly. “Verily the one who recites the Quran beautifully, smoothly, and precisely, he will be in the company of the noble and obedient angels. And as for the one who recites with difficulty, stammering or stumbling through its verses, then he will have TWICE that reward.” (Sahih Al-Bukhari) For Fajr prayers, it will become a habit when you keep making the intention to wake up for it. Make doa to Allah for His help to make it easier. It's always a win-win situation for Muslims.
When i was a kid I'd cry whenever i heard Quran being recited even though i didn't understand it. As an adult whenever im reading/listening alone it instantly switches my senses my needs my whole world and self view i still cry to its message and influence to the knowledge of God the merciful. As if its a struggle of material life and God, leaving Quran for some time will make me closer to an animal with materialistic instincts where emotions and needs rule over everything, i turn to Quran and wow no words can explain the elevation and the state that i go into nothing can break you you're fulfilled you're complete you're happy and you just want to please Allah and help others reach that state of love❤❤
No worries brother. Allah swt has made the Quran which is in Arabic ,easy for the people who attempt to learn it. If a non arabic 10 year old kid or a 70 year old person can learn the Quran by heart definitely you will be able to read it slowly but surely. Take it one thing at a time and you will learn a lot. You are doing quite well and I am sure that you will learn it soon. Keeping asking for Knowledge from your Lord and HE will make it easy for you.
Large majority of muslims do not know the arabic language but Alhamdulillah millions of muslims around the world have memorized the Quran letter to letter. That is the beauty of Quran. It is very easy to remember. By the time our kids reach the age of 6 years they have all read the Noble Quran and are very apt in reading and reciting the Quran correctly besides memorizing much of it if not all.
I was raised not speaking arabic, anyway I found a book that teaches how to pray for Muslims and learned how to do the prayers and memorized the Surah in arabic (and correctly) I still remember them 20 years later even though I am not a Muslim 😊 I think Muslims are so good at doing the 5 pillars and memorizing surah because most of them start so young and it’s so much easier when you’re a child
I like your energy about learning new things that's a very good thing I dont know which surah you memorised (the quran is 114 surah) but I think that you memorised the first surah ''al fatiha'' (the opening in english) it is a very beautiful surah I normally advice muslims and non-muslims to watch dr.zaker naik lectures , he is a doctor who started learning about the different religions and comparing them , he makes lectures all around the world with thousands of attendants , basically he answers all the questions from non-muslims about islam and clears any doubts or misunderstanding like the questions that non-muslims often ask about 'islam and terrorism ' (islam prohibits terrorism by the way) . I was born muslim , but when I turned 18 I had some doubts because I didnt understand and read the quran , so I watched his lectures and they helped me be 100% sure that I am on the right path. I just wanted to help you but I really think that dr.zaker will help you understand more about islam and always remeber that muslims are always very kind people and they will be very open to any question you ask , I suggest you go to the nearest mosque in your area and talk with muslims and will see the happiness on their face when they see a non-muslim go to the mosque and ask about islam

The Quran's repetitive nature holds significant meaning. Repetition is used as a tool of authority, where the more something is repeated, the more weight it carries. For instance, the Quran mentions Salaah over 60 times, emphasizing its importance and obligation to be fulfilled.
@@byteme9718 If God claims He knows His creation the best, wouldn't it be logical that God also applies the method we know and trust will help our learning process too. There are many things to consider before simply stating that the religion of Islam is a human invention, but I will only leave you with this; "And if you are in doubt about what We have revealed to Our servant, then produce a sûrah like it and call your helpers other than Allah, if what you say is true." ~ Quran 2:23
@@eyeshieldsena Humans are the result of evolution, not creation. This is scientific fact and makes your point redundant. The Quran is not the words of god but those who authored it when they invented Islam. This is shown by it's many mistakes but that doesn't mean the men who authored it were stupid because they included many verses to control others. As stated already, this is how religions work and the fact L Ron Hubbard got away with convincing Scientology was real just shows how gullible people are. The challenge is ridiculous because it's subjective. If you've been indoctrinated and/or brainwashed to believe the Quran is the words of god the you lack the objectivity to judge. Likewise, if you're a Christian then the conclusion you reach will be the polar opposite of that of a Muslim. The only objective opinion therefore has to come from an atheist and you won't agree with their answer because if the Quran contains a single error the the claims of Islam are completely undermined. Learning the Quran is completely pointless and particularly so because most of those who do don't understand Arabic. It takes the form it does not because of a god but the culture who authored it when poetry was considered an art form.
I'm reading the book and i am 25% through it. I have to say I have to read every page twice sometimes to understand what is being said! I won't bring comments and won't be disrespectful, but striking non belivers across the neck and removing their fingertips is a bit harsh! I'll continue to read out of curiosity, but find it hard to swallow, that non belivers will burn in hell! What about the Buddhist who is placid, does good, and lives a pure life, will they go to hell? What about those whom Islam didn't reach, will they burn in hell and have terrible punishments? Did everyone before go to hell? I'm not being obnoxious or laughing as I'm giving this much thought!
Hopefully these videos about the quran can be longer and more indepth but still intresting to hear your thoughts. Very curious about your thoughts on the next chapter/surah - Nisa (Women). It can be tempting to not scrutinize scripture but personally as an ex-muslim that surah in particular was very hard to digest. Aswell as the berating of non-believers. But hopefully you continue to enjoy your read.
As I begin to become more confident about this, hoping these will become longer. I am ruthless when editing though so always cut out anything I think is a not good. Yes, I’ve read Nisa and have thoughts to share
Well surah nisa speaks about the true roles of women and men and the beautiful connection between them in a divinely pure relationship. It speaks about the women in war aswell - which may render you feeling uncomfortable- but it is just the way of things. In an outright war , the men are to killed (for their intention was to fight to death themselves) and both men + women taken captives. That's what you leave out. You have to remember the world is fast changing and in todays day and age especially- the corruption is prevent everywhere. You can't see it if you don't want to think deep. But there is one truth and the ultimate meaning of life and that is in the quran. The message of God upon his creation- untill the end times and day of judgment for we account for our sins.Untill ultimate bliss beyond our wildest imaginations.
Praying 5 times a day with each prayer at its particular time makes us disciplined and punctual. If one acts exactly how islam teaches then that man will never lose time, character,discipline,morals,righteousness, sanctity, humanity,humility,sobreness,faith, and ofcourse wisdom
I am a former muslim from Morocco, I read the Quran many many times, learnt most of it by heart, and I can assure you it's just lies, myths and nonesense. The hadiths (Sahih muslim or Bukhari), and the exegitcal books (by anas ibn malik for instance) are just funny in my humble opinion... I read them sometimes to be amused at how dumb and uncivilised people used to be.
I haven't read complete hadith books but the parts I read are complete nonsense and idiotic, I am not planning on reading them as there are more important things to do then read this nonsense but sometimes I think how stupid people can be that they believe all that stuff Btw I am also former muslim, I am from Pakistan
i respect your unbiased review ... May Lord his majesty guide you to the right path ... this is what the opening surah alfatiha says that you read . ameen
It’s sad how muslims respect Jesus more than Christians. They don’t joke about him on stand up comedy shows, they don’t make funny cartoons of him. They only have love and respect for him.
Don't worry about memorizing anything. If your heart wants to do a thing, just do that much and you've already succeeded. Then if your mind follows your heart some things will become easier.
I recommend you have a talk with the Muslim Lantern here on youtube or in the UK if you are in London. Also the five daily prayers become a habit and you do not feel like its hard, alhamdullilah.

Congratulations! So glad to hear that many are converting to Islam, welcome to a religion full of peace.
اَلْحَمْدُ للَّهِ رَبِّ الْعالَمِينَ
My dear brother, I Thank Allah that be blessed you and rescued you.
I was raised 7th Day Adventist so we had to learn OT and NT. This year God Almighty led me to Islam during Bible Study 🤲
Poor soul
Me too sister, and on June 2nd this year I embraced Islam after months of intense studying. I pray all people come to know about Islam and embrace it but more so my Adventist people. They are good people but the doctrine they follow is rooted in false prophecy (they said Jesus was to return to earth on October 4th 1844) meanwhile Jesus himself said of the hour, no one knows except the father and you'd think the Adventist doctrine will repent after the failed prophecy but no, it's renovated to mean Jesus rather went to the "holy of holiest place" in heaven to complete his atonement as his earthly atonement was incomplete, meanwhile the Bible says Jesus said "it is finished" before he gave up the ghost, I ask what is the difference between finish and complete?
They(Adventists) purport to strictly follow the Bible but when you compare these doctrines they teach to the Bible, it is grossly misleading, contradicting to the sayings of Jesus as reported in the Bible.
Today, I look at my Adventist folks and all I can think is for God to guide them away from following con man(William Miller) and pseudo prophetess (E.G White). The woman was a prolific writer no doub,t but not a prophetess by any stretch of the word.
May Allah guide them to the truth
kinda sad to see somebody lose a weak concept that cannot be taught with proper logic. poor soul who has lost christianity which is faulty anyway.@@sorrynotsorry3264
@GMC885 ma shaaAllah may Allah bless you my muslim sister
So what does Surah 3- Al Imran verse 151 say?
I was gifted this exact Qur’an in Feb 2021. I read it and everything just made sense. After a lot of researching and reading, and feeling that Islam was the truth, I converted to Islam in August 2021. It is the best decision I have ever made in my life.
May you and everyone be granted jannah al firdaus ❤
ربنا يسعدك وينور طريقك ويثبتك على دين الاسلام
اللهم بارك
AL HAMDULILLAH. I'm happy for you.
Congratulations sister, you're blessed.
As a convert to Islam, initially, the 5 daily prayers can be difficult. Still, it becomes easy after a short period, so much so, that one begins to get anxious if one cannot pray as soon as prayer time comes and the only relief comes from doing the prescribed prayer. There is such a sense of peace that one gets from the prayers and it sustains you throughout the day, when we're awash in worldly concerns.
It is never easy. It is however necessary ...I differ in telling people that they will find "peace" merely by praying because people give up if they don't get that magic all over feeling you describe. Prayer is work. It is necessary because it renews our covenant with Allah every second raka and it tells our own mind to behave. It's not about that "peaceful easy feeling" and should not be touted as such. It's a requirement like brushing owns teeth....a kind of hygeine for the soul and I don't know about you but brushing my teeth at 10 pm or 4 am is not "fun". It is necessary though because I would never dream of talking to a stranger while having bad breath. So, just saying.
May God increase your faith and light. I do not know you, but from your comment I know that you are my sister in Islam. I hope that you will pray for me in your next prayers. Thank you very much in advance.
Going into prostration for Allah (swt), the Lord of the worlds, is an amazing experience.

Many muslim not arab but we can easily memorise some surah because Allah promise this Quran is easy to learn
Peace be upon you! Can confirm. There are more than 240 million Muslims in Southeast Asia too!
I am a jamaican Muslim and I can read the Quran in arabic its not hard. This is Allah and Allah made the Quran easy for anyone who is a Muslim to read Allah made all human beings so it is made easy for all regardless of where you come from your back ground black white Chinese etc. That's the whole point . When you begin you like hhuhh but when you keep going you like that it actually was easy I just needed to keep going keep practicing! Trust me I'm a Revert black jamaican it looks hard because of the new lettering and sounds but ALLAH made it easy for all mankind that embraces Islam, also many Muslim memorise alll surah in quran even children young as 5 so there ypu go it's about practice and good intention for understanding and guidance it's just about keep going keep practicing and you will see !
Yeah, you are correct. i have a bit difficulty while talking or even reading English but when I read quran I can read it very very easily and smoothly. Allah Hu Akbar@@maryan8798
I would also like to point out the Prophet said that those who read the Quran are rewarded but those who read it and make mistakes because it's hard for them are doubly rewarded
you are rewarded simply for trying keep at it brother inshallah it gets easier
Who cares if you can memorise. Means nothing. People memorise telephone books, doesn’t make it holy. Try studying your text carefully instead of following what your muftas and madrasah teach. Use your God given brain, that’s why it was gifted to you. To question things.
We Indonesian, are not speaking arabic, yet millions of us memorize the whole/parts of Qur'an. Btw, dont burden your self focusing to the language, but take step by step , litle by little learning process, if u feel uneasy with translation then try to find further explanation in tafseer. May Allah grant you with knowledge and wisdom ❤
beautifull
May Allah bless our Muslim brothers and sisters in Indonesia
We in South Africa as well. Alhamdullilah.
No wonder you have no time to work and improve yourselves then. It's about as useful as memorising a German newspaper just so you can claim you can recite it.
@@byteme9718 wdym, the santris (which is islamic boarding school students) helped the independence of Indonesia. Religion helped the development of the country, and led us to where we are today.

“Take advantage of five before five: your youth before your old age, your health before your sickness, your wealth before your poverty, your free time before your busyness, and your life before your death.” - Prophet Muhammad ﷺ
" Take advantage of five before five.." Imagine a prophet of God adding so much importance to this. What does this have to do with salvation?
@@jared2244 Around a thousand years ago Imam Muhammad Al-Ghazzali told story of a man walking in the jungle. A roaring lion ran towards him and the man ran as fast as he could to escape from it. He noticed a well in front of him and he jumped inside hoping to escape from the lion. As he was falling inside the well, he grabbed onto the rope and saved himself. The man was so relieved but when he looked down he saw a big snake at the bottom of the well. It had its jaws wide open ready to swallow him up. The man then looked up and saw two mice nibbling at the rope. A black mouse and a white were both chewing into the rope. The scary lion was still prowling outside the well. The man's heart was pounding as he wondered how he could escape from this. Then he noticed a honeycomb in front of him which had delicious honey dripping from it. He stuck his finger into the honey and put it inside his mouth. It was delicious and for a moment he forgot about the lion, the snake and the two mice chewing at the rope. Imam Ghazali explained that the lion is like the angel of death which is always looming above us. The snake was like his grave which all humans will face. The black mouse and white mouse were like the day and night which are always nibbling at our life (the rope). The honey was like this dunya (this temporal world) which with its momentary sweetness makes us forget the death and the eternal life.

You needed not buy one. Muslims distribute it free of any cost. You just ask a Muslim n he'll provide it.
In the Name of Allah, the Merciful, the Compassionate.
There is no god but God, He is One, He has no partner; His is the dominion, and His is the praise; He alone grants life, and deals death, and He is living and dies not; all good is in His hand, He is powerful over all things, and with Him all things have their end.
Embraced Islam 10 years ago. I'll have to talk for hours to explain why its a true unchanged religion. But if I were to sum it up, I'll say this "it makes perfect sense. Nothing seeps through the cracks"
The problem of Islam is our lack of knowledge.. the more we know the more senses have... Subhanallah
Absolutely!
Yeah me too, I met some Muslim brothers who I befriended on a game. Safe to say we are friends IRL and we had mutual friends, I was born Muslim however I only knew the basics. However, after knowing the history I would like to say it is definitely 100% the true religion. Good to have you with us brother, Barakallahu Feek!
it was easier, simpler, and perfeect sense to our intelectual.
my favourite part is where the 53 year old man sleeps with a 9 year old and watches her play with dolls.
You talked not like neutral person but someone who respect the religion, you praised the prophet, i amaze ❤
Shouldn’t he be neutral, at the end of the day it’s up to him
Did you ever read about his life? You should do it.
If he reads about his life then he will leave Islam like I did. I am Algerian and didnt really even know a lot of the things until I moved the USA. I thought it was lies at first. I didnt even know that other religions existed. I think the more he learns the less likely he will follow Islam. @@andreeas.2362

Fajr prayer is hard to get up for but, by far my favourite prayer of the day. It always feels just amazing when you pray fajr
The prophet (pbuh) said: “The two Rak`ah before the dawn (Fajr) prayer are dearer to me than the whole world.”
Ya u get productive but try tahjud once just once 14rakah and experience
What makes it harder away from the equator is the vast changes in fajr and Isha through the year.
It is my favorite prayer too! If I have pray my Fajr, I always think by the permission of Allah I could rule the world! "Observe the prayer from the decline of the sun until the darkness of the night and the dawn prayer, for certainly the dawn prayer is witnessed ˹by angels˺" QS. Al-Isra 78.
Just waking up early, when everything still dark, pray your 2 rakaah fajr prayer, in the cold dark calm serene morning. Just you and your god. You can tell Him anything. Ask for anything. Be thankful for everything. Vent out all your worries. 1 to 1 talk. You gonna feel so good after. No rush either. Can take your bath. Your breakfast. Or has an early morning run before work. Its prime your day for a good start.
Dont over burden yourself at beginning, take a step at a time. When you have a delicious cake if you eat it all at once you will have hard time eating, but if you eat slowly you will be enjoying yourself.
Great advice for all things!

The one thing that's always drawn me to this religion is the unity of its people. I don't know if you've seen it but I might have a Caucasian Muslim friend who could go to a Ugandan village, just say Assalamu alaykum to any Muslim and they suddenly have this family connection with all these Arabic terms. It's quite fascinating and very unique
Not really, this is a case among many different groups... Christians, Buddhists, different sects, or even nations, expats. Simply among those who share something dear to them.
Nah, it's our religion that binds us together as one ummah. It's hadith(saying) of Prophet Muhammed(peace be upon him) that muslims are like one body. If there's pain in one part of the body, the whole body becomes restless.
@@TruthIslam-wr9sk Umma, church, Sangha, nation, tribe. It's important to have a group you belong to, you can find help n anywhere then thanks to the bond. The best bond is humanity though. Unfortunately, we still live in a world where groups stand against each other and forget about what connects them.
@ AvesPasseri-Jinysvet Agreed brother , Religion was meant to unite people & unfortunately in today's world people use it to fight each other.
@@AvesPasseri-Jinysvet yes it's true, but it's just my observation. Until now I've not really ever seen two Christians from different parts of the world meeting and suddenly connecting with with these ancient words and creating a family bond over Christianity. I know many Christians who meet other Christians very casually with hello or hi, but I see Muslims from different parts of the world saying alhamdulillah and asalamalykum even though none speak Arabic! Even when I see Christian aid workers abroad in other countries in Africa, I've never seen them greeting each other or identifying each other through Christianity or the likes from any other religion the same way I've seen from Muslims who meet each other
Before I was praying regularyl, I first made duah and asked Allah to make one of those who never missed prayers. I am going 6+ years strong and the morning prayers are really hard but I am woking on sleeping early and trying to sleep after praying.
That's the right way.
1. Sleep early(after isyak prayer)
- then, you can wake up early, insya Allah
2. Don't forget the DOA(asking God to make it easy for you to do tahajjud)

The five daily prayers will clean out all the daily minor sins. Any time we prayed we seek forgiveness, and Allah most merciful will forgive us. My allah guide us and accept our prayers. Amin.
Five daily prayers for our soul is like the minimum daily food and water for our body.
Without them the soul withers and eventually everything good in it dies. And just like our health depends on the quality of food, the health of the soul depends on the quality of the prayer/Salah which is namely the strength of our connection with the Creator of that soul, Allah, and this can only be improved by seeking and following Allah's guidance.
I converted 25 years ago ... well, my parents showed me their christian and atheist view, but i searched something else. So the thing i want to say is, i have few doubts with the opinion of Muslims and scholars, but i really never have a doubt in the Quran. It's right, it's from above, it's the Truth.
Just stumbled across your channel. Firstly excited to hear the Welsh accent and secondly appreciate the respectful manner in which you are undertaking this journey. May you be blessed with many openings
CREOSO
The prayer may be difficult at first when trying to pray on time but what I've found out is that the more consistent I was with my prayer, the more I found myself running back to it. It was and is a sort of refuge for me to seek guidance, forgiveness and help from my master. It brings me consolidation and peace to know that my master is Most Merciful, All Knowing, All Seeing and All Hearing. He knows my situation best and knowing that I'm able to be at peace with whatever comes my way.

Thank you for actually reading the Quran and not taking the ignorant approach to it.
Love your experience for reading the Quran! I pray you continue on this path! Would love to watch more
repetition is how humans learn better. repetition is also a sign that the message is one.
It looks like a mega task to learn arabic, memorise the surahs and duas but Allah makes it easy once you decide to learn. you just have to be honest in your intention. Just know that you will be tested along the way! its to see how honest you are and to elevate your ranks as a reward for your determination!
A very energetic, wonderful, pure heart. May Allah bless you abundantly for educating us!
Well done! Keep reading. ❤
peace and blessings! thank you for sharing your thoughts so honestly and passionately x
Mashallah , May God guide us all to the straight path … from Ethiopia 🇪🇹
May Allah guide you brother keep reading 😊
Thank you, I will 😊
Aameen
As a revert, I feel you. It's gonna be a little tough in the beginning but it's not a sprint, we learn everyday in our lifetime. Once you get the hang of salah, it gets easier. Allah is the most merciful and most benevolent. Our struggles in reciting the Quran is rewarded doubly.
“Verily the one who recites the Quran beautifully, smoothly, and precisely, he will be in the company of the noble and obedient angels. And as for the one who recites with difficulty, stammering or stumbling through its verses, then he will have TWICE that reward.” (Sahih Al-Bukhari)
For Fajr prayers, it will become a habit when you keep making the intention to wake up for it. Make doa to Allah for His help to make it easier.
It's always a win-win situation for Muslims.
When i was a kid I'd cry whenever i heard Quran being recited even though i didn't understand it. As an adult whenever im reading/listening alone it instantly switches my senses my needs my whole world and self view i still cry to its message and influence to the knowledge of God the merciful. As if its a struggle of material life and God, leaving Quran for some time will make me closer to an animal with materialistic instincts where emotions and needs rule over everything, i turn to Quran and wow no words can explain the elevation and the state that i go into nothing can break you you're fulfilled you're complete you're happy and you just want to please Allah and help others reach that state of love❤❤
No worries brother. Allah swt has made the Quran which is in Arabic ,easy for the people who attempt to learn it. If a non arabic 10 year old kid or a 70 year old person can learn the Quran by heart definitely you will be able to read it slowly but surely. Take it one thing at a time and you will learn a lot. You are doing quite well and I am sure that you will learn it soon. Keeping asking for Knowledge from your Lord and HE will make it easy for you.
May Allah guide you in to the right path of life brother ❤❤❤
Very informative
Please make more videos about Quran
You have a wonderful way to explain it very interestingly
I will try my best!
Large majority of muslims do not know the arabic language but Alhamdulillah millions of muslims around the world have memorized the Quran letter to letter. That is the beauty of Quran. It is very easy to remember. By the time our kids reach the age of 6 years they have all read the Noble Quran and are very apt in reading and reciting the Quran correctly besides memorizing much of it if not all.
Thanks for covering this
I was raised not speaking arabic, anyway I found a book that teaches how to pray for Muslims and learned how to do the prayers and memorized the Surah in arabic (and correctly) I still remember them 20 years later even though I am not a Muslim 😊 I think Muslims are so good at doing the 5 pillars and memorizing surah because most of them start so young and it’s so much easier when you’re a child
Cmon ma'am you got only one Life why not become a muslim stop playing with fire ok
I like your energy about learning new things that's a very good thing
I dont know which surah you memorised (the quran is 114 surah) but I think that you memorised the first surah ''al fatiha'' (the opening in english) it is a very beautiful surah
I normally advice muslims and non-muslims to watch dr.zaker naik lectures , he is a doctor who started learning about the different religions and comparing them , he makes lectures all around the world with thousands of attendants , basically he answers all the questions from non-muslims about islam and clears any doubts or misunderstanding like the questions that non-muslims often ask about 'islam and terrorism ' (islam prohibits terrorism by the way) .
I was born muslim , but when I turned 18 I had some doubts because I didnt understand and read the quran , so I watched his lectures and they helped me be 100% sure that I am on the right path.
I just wanted to help you but I really think that dr.zaker will help you understand more about islam
and always remeber that muslims are always very kind people and they will be very open to any question you ask , I suggest you go to the nearest mosque in your area and talk with muslims and will see the happiness on their face when they see a non-muslim go to the mosque and ask about islam
@@-highvoltage4685 mm actually I learned Al Fatiha, Al ikhlas, Al falaq, khawtar and Al nas when I was a child 😉 my parents are Muslims they just never taught us Arabic or religion.
@@amberchamekh9361
I think your one of us , you are very close to islam , I can see that your parents are arabs from your last name
I am a med student who lives in an arabic country , I know multiple people whose parents were arabs , left to the west and didn't teach their children arabic nor religion , they came to our city in a visit , we were very happy to see them even though we didnt know them , gave them a room and everything they needed , we took them to the mosque and showed them islam , they were very great people
But I think leaving islam is the worst thing you can do to your self , remember that you will die one day and god will ask you , you knew islam , you could've search about islam, your parents were muslims , why you didn't follow Jesus and Mohamed ?
I am not telling you to change any thing about your life , I am telling you to speak out loud and say you are a muslim beacuse I know the society in the west
I am just begging you to just believe that there is one god and that the prophet Mohamed is the massener of god , just believe in this and don't change anything in your life , you won't lose any thing but you will save yourself from fire
I am not saying this from the point of anger , not at all . I just want to help you , I am just afraid about your after life , how you will meet god and tell him you left islam for no reason
I want just one favor from you , search about islam , just one favor.
I hope you read this comment with an open heart ,always wish you best.
As Salaamu Alaykum. May Allah SWT guide you my brother in Islam 😊
I’m Italian Canadian covert since 2006 , I pray in English, allah accepts prayers in every language as long as it’s translated properly from the Quran, loyalty chapter which is the first.
God speed ❤
No my frend the pray must be in arabic language say pray by the short sora and I shood that you can in shaa allah.
@@krarchaamine if he's starting than I think it's fine
@@krarchaamine show me where Allah says that the prayer should only be in Arabic. Please, Allah didn’t make the religion difficult for people that means from whichever country you are born in and are born in a Muslim family or convert. Please show where Allah says only in Arabic.
@@toninaaliyah5451 the Quran writin by Arabic language wen you lern this languge you inderstend that a lot of mining of ther word is not the same by english language so this is a miracle than the Quran is valid for all time and for ever no one can be distorts it and the Arabic language is very nise and riche and the language of the peaple of paradis and adam .
Sory my engish langue is not good I hope inderstend me.
@@krarchaamine yes I understood you, but in translation to English in comparison to Arabic is not extremely different; it’s giving you many other interpretations, but you put it according to the verse.
I am only saying that the Muslims that are not Arabic can absolutely pray in their language and accepted by Allah ( inshallah) even in Arabic ( inshallah it’s accepted) .
As a born muslim your honest take on 5time prayers made me laugh light heartedly. I can agree. It takes time effort and concentration to stay committed to it. It's so refreshing to hear these real experiences. Much love and respect from Sri Lanka ❤🇱🇰
Thank you for being so respectful by sending blessings upon our prophet SAW, looking forward to this journey :)
Amazing Sir
Wonderful explanation..👍👍
The Quran's repetitive nature holds significant meaning. Repetition is used as a tool of authority, where the more something is repeated, the more weight it carries. For instance, the Quran mentions Salaah over 60 times, emphasizing its importance and obligation to be fulfilled.
If you invented a religion wouldn't you do the same. This is how all teaching is carried out and especially military training.
Well that literally is the learning process for anything. Repetition and association with other images and sensations.
@@byteme9718 If God claims He knows His creation the best, wouldn't it be logical that God also applies the method we know and trust will help our learning process too. There are many things to consider before simply stating that the religion of Islam is a human invention, but I will only leave you with this; "And if you are in doubt about what We have revealed to Our servant, then produce a sûrah like it and call your helpers other than Allah, if what you say is true." ~ Quran 2:23
@@eyeshieldsena Humans are the result of evolution, not creation. This is scientific fact and makes your point redundant. The Quran is not the words of god but those who authored it when they invented Islam. This is shown by it's many mistakes but that doesn't mean the men who authored it were stupid because they included many verses to control others. As stated already, this is how religions work and the fact L Ron Hubbard got away with convincing Scientology was real just shows how gullible people are.
The challenge is ridiculous because it's subjective. If you've been indoctrinated and/or brainwashed to believe the Quran is the words of god the you lack the objectivity to judge. Likewise, if you're a Christian then the conclusion you reach will be the polar opposite of that of a Muslim. The only objective opinion therefore has to come from an atheist and you won't agree with their answer because if the Quran contains a single error the the claims of Islam are completely undermined.
Learning the Quran is completely pointless and particularly so because most of those who do don't understand Arabic. It takes the form it does not because of a god but the culture who authored it when poetry was considered an art form.
I'm reading the book and i am 25% through it. I have to say I have to read every page twice sometimes to understand what is being said!
I won't bring comments and won't be disrespectful, but striking non belivers across the neck and removing their fingertips is a bit harsh!
I'll continue to read out of curiosity, but find it hard to swallow, that non belivers will burn in hell! What about the Buddhist who is placid, does good, and lives a pure life, will they go to hell?
What about those whom Islam didn't reach, will they burn in hell and have terrible punishments?
Did everyone before go to hell?
I'm not being obnoxious or laughing as I'm giving this much thought!
Ma Shaa Allah. may Allah (SWT) guide you on your journey.
Thank you for doing this video Ma Shaa Allah
I find the five prayers tough as well. I fall asleep during Fajr 🙈
Read AL fateh before going to bed
Love this very much! May Allah guide you, Keep uploading more videos and share your experiences with us please, Thank you very much!
Hopefully these videos about the quran can be longer and more indepth but still intresting to hear your thoughts. Very curious about your thoughts on the next chapter/surah - Nisa (Women). It can be tempting to not scrutinize scripture but personally as an ex-muslim that surah in particular was very hard to digest. Aswell as the berating of non-believers. But hopefully you continue to enjoy your read.
As I begin to become more confident about this, hoping these will become longer. I am ruthless when editing though so always cut out anything I think is a not good.
Yes, I’ve read Nisa and have thoughts to share
@@KDbookslooking forward to it :)
Well surah nisa speaks about the true roles of women and men and the beautiful connection between them in a divinely pure relationship.
It speaks about the women in war aswell - which may render you feeling uncomfortable- but it is just the way of things. In an outright war , the men are to killed (for their intention was to fight to death themselves) and both men + women taken captives. That's what you leave out.
You have to remember the world is fast changing and in todays day and age especially- the corruption is prevent everywhere. You can't see it if you don't want to think deep.
But there is one truth and the ultimate meaning of life and that is in the quran. The message of God upon his creation- untill the end times and day of judgment for we account for our sins.Untill ultimate bliss beyond our wildest imaginations.
Your understanding of the Quran is on point. Outstanding
Praying 5 times a day with each prayer at its particular time makes us disciplined and punctual. If one acts exactly how islam teaches then that man will never lose time, character,discipline,morals,righteousness, sanctity, humanity,humility,sobreness,faith, and ofcourse wisdom
May I ask what made you interested in reading the Quran?
Curiosity and beginning to question of my own faith 😊
@@KDbooks Cool! I find religious texts very fascinating. Have you ever tried to read the Book of Mormon? Or the Apocryphal books?
Book of Mormon is in the post ✉️
@@KDbooks Awesome! Can't wait for that video then 😁Best of luck
I would suggest reading the scriptures of Buddhism, Hinduism, Taoism, and Confucianism.
I am a former muslim from Morocco, I read the Quran many many times, learnt most of it by heart, and I can assure you it's just lies, myths and nonesense. The hadiths (Sahih muslim or Bukhari), and the exegitcal books (by anas ibn malik for instance) are just funny in my humble opinion... I read them sometimes to be amused at how dumb and uncivilised people used to be.
Exactly
@@Im_that_guy_man thank you
I haven't read complete hadith books but the parts I read are complete nonsense and idiotic, I am not planning on reading them as there are more important things to do then read this nonsense but sometimes I think how stupid people can be that they believe all that stuff
Btw I am also former muslim, I am from Pakistan
@@AMZ_official you need EMAM in your life.
Subhanallah
i respect your unbiased review ... May Lord his majesty guide you to the right path ... this is what the opening surah alfatiha says that you read . ameen
Welcome brother and greetings from Algeria. Trust me, if you are sincere, this is going to be the most beautiful journey of your life.
It’s sad how muslims respect Jesus more than Christians. They don’t joke about him on stand up comedy shows, they don’t make funny cartoons of him. They only have love and respect for him.
They just deny what he came onto this earth for and put someone else above what they still call the messiah lol.
You should next read the Holy Bible and give us your first impressions of it!!!
I’ve read a lot of the Bible - but sounds like a plan 😊 @doomantidote is doing a series reading the Bible, so do check him out and say hello from me 😆
Don't worry about memorizing anything. If your heart wants to do a thing, just do that much and you've already succeeded. Then if your mind follows your heart some things will become easier.
Thank you for keeping an open mind and reading the Quran ❤
I recommend you have a talk with the Muslim Lantern here on youtube or in the UK if you are in London.
Also the five daily prayers become a habit and you do not feel like its hard, alhamdullilah.
Mashallah! Showing Love from Canada 🇨🇦 May Allah make you closer ameen 🙏🏽
"I don't think I was expecting that" really hit me. I promise you won't be disappointed once you continue to read and understand each verse!
im a revert of 17 years and when i see revert brothers estatic as you i just wanna hug the crap outta you bro honestly, im pretty depressed rn but youve made my day
Respect for open hearted reflection and speaking salaam wa Hubb peace and love. Also big up Wales I studied and taught in Cardiff . May we all get to see that “Allah is neither of the east or west.”

May God bless you brother. You are a sincere person and I am sure Allah will guide you.
Like it or not, Islam is THE truth. ❤
