Hi, I've recently accepted Islam...

Assalamu alaikum,

I have recently accepted Islam and would love any advice anyone can give me. I am English and it can feel slightly lonely when everyone around me is living the life I just rejected...

Allah hafiz,

Oh, what do you not believe?

That a non-Muslim can accept Islam? Or an English person can accept Islam? (Or you just don't believe anything at all? Lol.)

Wa'alykum salaam (Peace unto you too),

Welcome to TTI forum; and we welcome to Islam, of course. :) Hope you find the Peace you been always looking for in this religon. Ameen.

Here are several reverts from around the world and few are from UK as well. Insha'Allah you won't feel lonely at all.

Enjoy learning Islam. Take care new Muslimah sister.

[BinKhadija]

Oh I didn't know that at all! (LOL)

But why are you in shock then, dear?

[2cool]

have patience. don't rush into everything.

ok.

if u really believe this is a real legitimate person, if u really believe an English can ever accept islam in 2009 without having any ulterior motive, then fine by me.

i'll just believe it when i see it.

[allah is with me]

mashallah thats good to hear brother..welcome to islam :)

Yep of course, I do consider it normal because I pray shoulder-to-shoulder with them at my local mosque. It goes for here as well; many new Muslims from various backgrounds join TurnToIslam.com because they want to learn about Islam by joining this Forum, and so forth.

You do take your time believing in this though. :D You've never met any (English) Muslims in real life it suggests?

[nizar83]

aselemu aleikum brother..
its ironic...you said i quote"the life i rejected" maybe its better to say the life you escaped from..by ALLAH's mercy and guidance..

brother you might have lost some friends...and some routine activities...but you have gained PLENTY of brothers and sisters in religion..and you have gained the best acitivity a human being can have: ibaada!

[2cool]

nopes haven't met any English muslims. just heard about Abdul Hakim Murad.

i heard about polish and other nationalities coming to islam. some french people also. some blacks, african origins coming to islam.

but i have never met an English muslim. I will believe it when I see one. until then...i don't think any english are becoming muslim.

And I am sure you are here to learn about Islam, aren't you?!
Take care

[BrotherInIslam7]

Dear sister Salwa, Assalaamu Alaykum. Welcome to Islam and to the forum. Best advice I can humbly give you is to surround yourself with good Muslims both in real life and online and keep learning and proceed at your own pace but without neglect.

May God bless you and us and keep our faith strong and keep guiding us along His straight path.

Salaamalaikum

I want to congratulate you on choosing the true way of life. Seek Allah's help, Allah will make everything easy for you. :)

Please ask questions and participate in this forum and Insha'Allah (with the grace of Allah), you would find us all helpful and warm.

May Allah subhaan waa taala reward you abundantly and shower his mercy and blessings upon you. Ameen.

Oh and Welcome to TTI... :SMILY139:

You should check out our 'New Muslim Video' section.

Also, the Creator of the heavens and the earth guides the one who are seeking the truth with sincerity and good intentions. Their nationality, ethnicity, race, color , gender etc doesn't matter, truth knows no bounds.

Peace. :)

Asalam Alaikum, Why wouldnt you believe that an english person could except Islam? I am a white american woman and i just took my shahadah almost two weeks ago (P.s. I didn't except Islam for a man).Do you believe that?(lol). One thing I love about Islam is there is no nationalism. Just because they are born into western society doesn't mean they can't be muslim.

Sarahlou, you're not a white american. i can tell by your spelling of certain words. there's a huge difference between excepting islam and accepting islam. Any white american would have known that.

either you didn't finish high school or you're not white and just posing as a white american on this website. you've got your spellings wrong. next time do ur homework before trying to pass off as something u're not.

my best guess is that u're a salafi but definitely not American.

With all this terrorism and shouting by muslims going on in the west, i doubt there are any white people turning muslim

Excuse me, but this attitude of yours has NOTHING WHATSOEVER to do with being "cool". Sister Saralou is a white American & & sister Iderwent is British & we're proud of both of them. And instead of encouraging new reverts, you tend to discourage them and accuse them of lying. Are u a Muslim?? Just wondering. And please Mr, let them be and keep your beliefs to yourself.

[2cool]

Sister hassana elkoussi explained this to you, but no you won't get it!

Well, then DON'T believe it or whatever. If you are so repetetive, WHO CARES what you say?

Enjoy your life, and let us get on with ours! Good bye.
By the way, did I say you aren't welcome on TTI. :D

typical angry british muslim. i'm guessing u grew up without islam and suddenly heard talks from sheikhs after 9/11.

Tony Blair's fault that his decision radicalized an entire generation of young british muslims. i feel so sad for you. May Allah guide you and tell you the importance of patience. Verily Allah does not like impatient people

She explained to you in a good enough manner but you replied back with same trash again as you did to others. May be you aren't supposed to see the evidence since you're too cool!

Assalamualaikum. There are alot of americans converting to islam. You should go visit ur local mosques in America. Or look up at the new reverts video section if you don't believe. Islam has no black or white. We're just MUSLIMS. :)

I heard the rate of people converting of islam there is higher than the amount of babies being born each year. And that is just one country.

am not suppose to reveal but i hv no choice and i just gotta say it coz there is someone(me) who knows her very close from the moment she was lost till the moment she became muslim....she is a wonderful person and she lives like a muslim even before islam...she is very dear to me and i will never be quite if someone hurt her...

Yes you revealed when absolutely necessary, sister. I'm sure the OP sister would understand.

And of course we all Muslims need that spirit! We'll never quiet and let such troublemakers win; we and brothers & sisters in Islam are one just body. And who keeps it low when one part of their body is hurt!? (No-one, of course.) Subhan Allah.

Is there any good in this behavior? You are inspecting the hearts of people, when the Prophet, sall-Allaahu `alayhi wasallam, prohibited such a thing. Your bizarre conclusions and foul, rude behavior is not necessary here. If you don't believe in White American and/or British reverts then I ask you, for what reason are you here? Why are you even using the Internet let alone a global forum aimed to help our new Muslim brothers and sisters? If you won't believe it until you see it, then travel and keep your denials to your self... And if you return here, show some respect.

On another note, to Salwa, welcome to Islaam and the forums. Please pardon us for the statements of user "2cool", he's banned.

Bravo sister Revert2007,
Actually it is you who are too cool. You treated him well sister, I think he deserved this. I still don't understand his motives. Whatever he was saying was so rubbish that it is totally wasteful to even talk about it.
Who haven't heard about Abdur-Raheem Green, Yousuf Islam, Yousef Estes, Sohaib Webb, Aminah Isslimi, Vynnona Ridley and many many many other famous reverts. Nearly every day someone (a white) revert to Islam.
It is good that he is banned. Good riddance. :SMILY139:

And WELCOME TO ISLAM and to TTI, our new sister Salwa !!!
:wasalam:

[lderwent]

Thank you so much everyone for such a warm welcome, your encouragement is priceless and I'm so grateful... I just read all your messages.

I don't understand why that person was so discriminative, but I'm sure they have their personal reasons, and I hope they will become more positive.

I was originally studying the bible and have always been interested in finding God, and when the Qu'ran was introduced to me I was a little sceptical at first. But one of the first things which really made sense to me was that it all started with Abraham, and for me the Qu'ran was like the missing piece of the jigsaw puzzle... I knew the torah, and the gospel, but couldn't quite see the bigger picture... then I started reading the Qu'ran! It all added up (and I never could quite accept Jesus as being God).

Also what convinced me was the large amount of science in the Qu'ran, some things which weren't proven to be true until much later than when the book came, for example, how a foetus is formed in the womb.

I hope you don't mind me sharing my thoughts, I could go on for ages!

This knowledge can make you feel quite lonely when you can't share it with anyone, especially people you've grown up with, and even your own parents who raised you and were your role models. So thank you again for all your support, it really does mean a lot.

Some one made a point about the wording I used, "the life I rejected", you're right, it wasn't very diplomatically put, sorry.

I've just returned from spending my first Ramadan in Pakistan, and it was an amazing experience.

I'm glad I found this website :-)

i just wish i wasn't that harsh :shymuslima1::shymuslima1::shymuslima1:

[Abu Abdillah]

Allah says in Surah Al-Hujuraat:

O you who believe! Avoid much suspicion, Indeed some suspicions are sins. And spy not, neither backbite one another. Would one of you like to eat the flesh of his dead brother? You would hate it, and fear Allah. Verily Allah is the one who forgives and accepts repentance, most merciful.

Here Allah teaches us moral rights and social etiquettes. We are instructed not to indulge in suspicion, spying nor backbiting in our daily life.

Abu Huraira reported Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) as saying: Avoid suspicion, for suspicion is the gravest lie in talk and do not be inquisitive about one another and do not spy upon one another and do not feel envy with the other, and nurse no malice, and nurse no aversion and hostility against one another. And be fellow-brothers and servants of Allah.

Congratulations on becoming a muslim. May Allah reward you for accepting the only truth.

Regarding advice, please be steadfast in your religion and even if you may see that many muslims like me dont follow Islam fully as you anticipated it doesnt mean islam is not perfect and practical to follow. It is just shortcomings of we muslims. Also there may be many among them trying to perfect their ways of being muslims. It is always a continous struggle of doing and living in good.

May Allah help you

no sis dont feel like this. u should protect ur ummah even if a muslim is out of line . thats why muslims should stick and support each other . u have made the sister feel comfortable that u sticked up for her. thats what sisterhood is about. feel proud she is a muslim and u helped her on the right path i make dua for u i know ur intention was clear and not in a bad way.

i make dua for this man that ALLAH guides him to the light inshALLAH :tti_sister:


i also wanted to add that we can never say a muslim isnt muslim anything that he does out of line is called a sinner only ALLAH judges . of course a true muslim shouldnt act like this. but sometimes some people dont know what they are half talkin about. may ALLAH forgive him and may he realise that the ummah is growing . im a english revert to from britain and i cant belive in a few days since i was in birmingham how many english people reverted to islam. ALLAH AKBAR my reason for revertin too. may he come bk to sense and right path inshALLAH :tti_sister:

to the admin can u take his comments off on the sisters reversion this is especially for her and should be made with a nice welcoming which i know thats what we all intend to do in the first place this inshALLAH

[Nazleen]

The large number of people reverting to Islam doesn't come as a surprise to us,muslims.
Since we believe that Islam is the Truth, it follows that any person who is thinking with a clear mind should understand and accept it.
Allah (God) says in the Quran.
'When truth is hurled against falsehood, falsehood perishes for falsehood by its nature is bound to perish".

Assalamu alaikum,

I have recently accepted Islam and would love any advice anyone can give me. I am English and it can feel slightly lonely when everyone around me is living the life I just rejected...

Allah hafiz,

Salwa.

welcome to islam. first of all, your never lonely because Allah is with us all the time. try to become closer to Allah by listening to quran, reading about the religion, pray, make dua etc. i love going outside at night, where a scarf, put my hands in the air and make dua and speak my feelings to Allah, the sky is enough to make you cry your feelings. Allah listens everytime and this made me feel special. 2nd of all, you say its hard coz everyone around you is living the life you just rejected. You have a point but how about you make a new life with things that make you feel worth the rejection. eg: go to a locl islamic center or lessons, make friends and then go out with your friends. go to other lessons together, go to bookshops, have dinner or lunch together, go to a wildlife park and you'll see animals you've never seen before 'Allah's creations'. Islam is not boring, trust me, you just have to have faith and meet the right people. most of all, TRY TO BECOME CLOSER TO ALLAH. Allah will listen and can help you cope. its not haram to open your hands and tell Allah what your feeling the way you would tell a friend. Dont be scared to say your secrets because Allah knows them anyway. ALLAH IS THERE FOR US ALL! YOU MUST BELIEVE IN THIS!!!!

Assalam alaikum wa rahmatullah..
I'm a german woman and I become muslima..may be 3 years ago. I really can understand that you are feeling a littel bit lonely, because I have the same troubel here in germany.
All the different foreigners are building groups. Turkey people are going only in turkey mosquee and marrocco people also only going in their mosquee and so on. It is almost unpossibel to get acception by any of these groups. I wish I would find find a best-girlfriend for me..may be online. I would like to go to a mosquee and not only praying at home, but I feel shy to asked any woman..if she can explain me all things "how to do in mosquee". Together with any other muslima this would be easier.
I will pray for you!!!
Allah hafiz!
