Shahada

[Joslyn]

Dear Brothers and Sisters,

Greetings in the name of Allah, most Merciful!

I wish to let you know that, finally, after a long struggle, I have accepted Islam and took the Shahada early this morning! (If any of your are familiar with Sheik Yusuf Estes, he and others witnessed my shahada in his voice chat room through islamtomorrow.com) Please pray for me as I will certainly pray for all of you!

Love, For the Sake of Allah,
Joslyn

PS. I am still thinking of a Muslim name to take... any suggestions would be helpful! :)

Congratulation on becoming muslim. I hope the transition becomes an easy one. Below are some of the name that you can choose from
Khadija, Fatima, Ayesha, Marham, Hajira

[NewMuslim]

:salam2:
Alhamdallah! More and more Christians are turning to Islam after seeing its truth; me and you are witnesses to this fact. Welcome here, by the way. May Allah bless you and call you a devoted servent of his on the Day of Judgement!

Some great names (in my opinion):
Fatimah
A'isha (also spelled Ayesha)
Khadijah
Latifah (means Rachel)

Someone has already put up a list of Muslim names, so you'd be better off there.

Some links to get you started:
http://madinaharabic.com - Site teaching Arabic; you'll need to know it to read the 100% accurate version of the Qur'an (available in Arabic only)
http://freequran.org/order/new_muslim.php - Enter your name and address and get a free Qur'an (Abdullah Yusuf Ali translation along with the Arabic next to the English) and other books to help you get started in Islam/Dawah (preaching the truth to others). Don't worry; it's trustworthy as that's where I got my Qur'an and some other books (including 40 Hadith).
:wasalam:

[alhamdulillah]

Bismillah,

[Argus]

Alhamdulillah sister, welcome to Islam. We are all very proud of you in making the step to this wonderful faith. I pray your family follows your great example and all become Muslim, insha'Allah. This is a wonderful day for you, Takbir! Allahu Akbar

[Abu Mohaned]

Assalamo Alaykom

Good news that you took shahada and may Allah guide you to the right path.

By the way good news in Arabic means (Boshra) and Boshra one of the female names.

Assalamo Alaykom

[samiha]

Assalamu alaykum sis!!

Yay! Mashallah sis for taking the Shahadah!! May Allah always guide you on the straight path!

Wassalam.

[Akilah]

Assalam Alaikum Joslyn,

Mashallah I'm an sincerely very happy for you, today you filled my day with joy to know that even though I'm having a bad day (headache...too much studying lol), someone elses day has been filled with light and happiness. I pray that Allah will always be pleased with yourself and your loved ones, and that you are able to guide other people to find the truth in this world and come back to their original fitrah state:) You really make me happy, and for the sake of Allah I love you very much. Inshallah if we are both good and Allah is pleased with us, perhaps we will meet one day! I have to say there are soooo many Muslim female names to choose from and my only advice is to pick a name that has a good meaning, or was from a a sister in history who had admirable traits, because I have often heard that the name a person gives has a lot to do with the persona they take on. I think it's more of an ideological and symbolic idea than an actual fact if you know what i mean. In any case, I have just put below a few names that you may like, and of course there are plenty more. As basic of islam wrote, i think there isn't anywhere in the Quran or Sunnah where it explicity states that you should change your name per se, but of course, we are taught in the Quran and Sunnah not to resemble the unbelievers, so perhaps that is enough of a reason to change your name, whatever you choose may Allah be pleased with you.

Farheen (happiness)
Noreen
Farhat (happiness)
Noora
Mehry or Mehri
Tabassum (Smile)
Juveiria
Sana
Sarah
Nazia
Tasnim (a river in Paradise)
Fareesa
Masarath
Leyla or Leila
Afrose
Afsheen
Madiha
Hajira
Ruksana
Hana
Noor
Safa (clarity, purity, serenity)
Zelaikha

And one of my most favourite names is Iman (faith) and Haneefa/Hanifa (true believer) and also Qura-tul-aine (coolness of the eyes... remember the Prophet PBUH referred to salat as the coolness of His eyes, so that's why I like this name)

a link with some names:

P.S. Sister, I wish that in your quest for knowledge, I know this may sound silly and i don't mean for it to be offensive but just always please use as much logic as possible when learning about Islam. If something doesn't sound right or doesn't sit well with you, ask about it, because it could be that it is a 'cultural' understanding of Islam or just someone giving a narrow-minded view. Islam is a religion that is easy for the believers, and while life is a test, Islam is not supposed to be 'hard' to follow. I hope this helps inshallah.

I have a suggestion.You can choose urs name from either wives of Prophet Muhammad (Belive me they are the most beautiful name masAllah..May Allah bless all of them).Also you can read about life of many muslim mothers and sisters at time of Prophet Peace be Upon Him.Their life is an example for all of us. Then u can choose urs name based on it.

Just a random suggestion.

May Allah ease all of urs matters Ameen Ameen

With lot of Prayers and Respect.

Assalamu Alaikum
Allahu akbar, allahu akbar, allahu akbar
Dear sister, most welcome. Allah opened your heart for the truth, for the light, without which the hearts are dark and no other thing in the world can eleminate that darkness. This is a sign that Allah loves you just as you love Allah. He brought you closer to him as you started taking your first step towards him.

You were in a genuine search of truth, and Allah guided you to it, to Islam a belief, way of life, and finallay a way that leads to Allah, chosen for the humanity by its creator, the only God, Allah.

Welcome to the universal sisterhood/brotherhood of Islam where people from all corners of the world, of different colours, accents, languages.... have one belief and that belief is that no other than Allah is to be worshipped and that no one is better than the other, but by their good deeds.

May Allah give you happiness and success in this world and hereafter

Wassalam

Masha-Allah, Welcome to Islam Dear Sis Joslyn.

Well You don't have to chamge your name in Islam, if the name you have dosn't have a Bad meaning to it.

But Joslyn is an alternate form for the name Jocelyn which is Latin for Joyous.

[Andalusian]

Assalamo Alaikoum sister Joslyn
Praise to Allah that you find the way.
May Allah help you. Amin
:wasalam:

[Marwa17]

Salamu alikum Sister,
We're all proud of you for becoming muslim, ameen. Sometimes, that is the hardest part.

Well, personally, i've always thought that salsabeel is a beautiful name

Allah be with you and help you choose the name that is right for you.

[Bluegazer]

Peace be upon you sister Joslyn,


Welcome to the religion of Islam. I ask Allah the Almighty to strengthen your faith, increase your knowledge of Islam and reward you with the highest degree in Paradise.

I truly believe that reverting to Islam is the best event of your life.

I have a couple of suggestions that will help you in this new stage of your life:

1- Seek more knowledge about the religion of Islam. Start with the most fundamental aspects, meaning the Six Pillars of Faith [Belief in Allah, His Angels, His Books, His Messengers, the Last Day and Divine Will and Predestination] and the Five Pillars of Islam [The Shahada, The Obligatory Prayers, the Zakat, the Fasting of the month of Ramadhan and the Pilgrimage to the Sacred House in Makkah].

You'll notice that as your knowledge increases, you'll be able to practice Islam better and you'll be better prepared to withstand any negative experiences or remarks.

I strongly recommend reading the following books:

1- "The Fundamentals of Tawheed [Islamic Monotheism]" by Bilal Philips.

2- "Salvation through Repentance" by Dr. Bilal Philips

3- The Islamic Creed Series; consisting of:

Volume 1: Belief in Allah
Volume 2: The Messengers and the Messages
Volume 3: The World of the Noble Angels
Volume 4: The World of the Jinn and Devils
Volume 5: The Minor Resurrection (what happens after death)
Volume 6: The Day of Resurrection
Volume 7: Paradise and Hell
Volume 8: Divine Will and Predestination

This series was written by Dr. Umar Sulaiman Al-Ashqar. You can buy this book at the following link:

http://www.iiphonline.com/product_info.php?products_id=199&osCsid=e9b50cd013d7796e561f5b6e4a7977ec


2- Constantly ask Allah the Almighty to guard your faith and increase its strength. It is He who has guided you to Islam and you should always seek shelter with Him to guard your religion and to increase your knowledge of it.


Again, we welcome you as our new sister in Islam and wish you all the best.
