Seems that I am very busy sister; I started to make posts and forgot to introduce myself... :shymuslima1:
I am muslim from Finland (from frozen north). I feel I am your sister, very little kind of. I might have quite strong own opinions of several things but I think I know how to behave by very diplomatic way; I make work in few other islamic (or islamic and resistance- type) forums as moderator, so... no need to panic with me :lol:
I am not "born-muslim", being muslim last 11 years. May I tell you my story how I became a muslim?
This is my story:
Salaam sisters and brothers;
More than 10 years ago I was Christian (protestant) who didnīt even believe the God (so actually I was atheits). I met some muslims and they seems to be nice persons. I hadnīt any teacher to learn me what Islam means but I read every books I ever found. I got a lot of knowledge about it but still
I was like donkey who carries books; I couldnīt understand what the God means. I tried to think the God is part of this world but I couldnīt find Him. Then I change my ideas and realised that no, God is not part of this world but this world is part of God. This idea opened something in my heart. It was like I would saw the beauty of Islam but then I realised I wasnīt ready yet. Between me and this Beauty was the wall. I was outside, alone and wanted to go in but how? I continue finding understanding and then I found gate from this wall. But the gate was locked and I had to find key to opened it. How to find key if you donīt know what it even is... I was thinking a long time and then I realised that understanding what "jihad" means was the key (even for me). So I opened the gate but I could go inside; I felt myself suddenly so worthless and dirty, like I wouldnīt have any permit to go inside, to become a muslim. I felt the deepest sorrow than ever when I submit the will of the God... and at the same moment I became as muslim, I understood what Islam means. Two weeks after that I read shahada with witnesses."
What else about me; last 20 years I have made work for liberation of Palestine. Other things I like... I like nature, walking in the forest after rain, my garden and working in there, new people I will meet on my journey in this world, books, stories, poems...
your sister...
