Jan's Story Why She Loves Islam

Mabsoot · 08-10-2006, 09:59 PM

Sister Jan is an English Revert to Islam. She explains why she loves Islam so much. She converted from Christianity, "my friends say you were a Good Christian, why have you sold out?, almost is what they would imply.. my answer to that is well i didnt know about the Prophet (Muhammad ) so its been enriching of my faith" ..........

..........."It was only in the 1960s (in England), when we (women) could open a bank account without having our husband sign the bank cheque. Islamic Women have always had those rights. If i stick to what the Quran says to me, and what the message is, it is very clear to me, that i have total equality. Just do what it says, and nobody can argue with me on that."..............

This short film follows her journey to beginning to wear the Hijab and learning more about Islam. May Allah help her and make it easy for her.

Asalamualikum,

This was informative of how one person, so deeply concerned with what the Qur'an says, is foremost for her, instead of copying how other muslims dress.
Her comments about the various cultures who wear the hijab a certain way was a good observation, because most cultures bring with them their nationality of dress.
It mentions that her peers were already aware of her interest in Islam, so this was not a shock to them, according to the video, for her to wear the hijab.
Although her neck shows a lot, perhaps in time, she will adjust to the proper coverage of the hijab.
Right now, she is doing what she believes in. If the 'critics' of her dress are too strong, it is because they possibly grew up among those wearing full hijabs...In time, she might want to cover more of her neck, etc. thus allowing the face, hands, and feet only to be seen.
This video is good for anyone to 'hear' and 'see' how a revert thinks about this change.

Sallam,
Kristina

Salam alikum
Don't worry about this lady, this is the way all new muslims must start, slowly and not rush into things cos if u do u could find it too much at some times. this is the way new muslims should follow: at first nothing apart from La'ilaha Illa Allah, Muhammad rasulu Allah. and then start learning and then practicing one at a time

The male and female believers are friends of one another. They command what is right and forbid what is wrong, perform prayer and pay alms, and obey Allah and His Messenger. They are the people on whom Allah will have mercy. Allah is Almighty, All-Wise. (Qur'an, 9:71)

Assalamualaikum,

Alhamdulilah that Jan has finally found her way to find Allah. Dont worry about the dress. It will improve slowly as you learn about Islam. Im surprised that Jan is wearing hijab in style in a way that Asian mostly wear. I think Jan is trying not to loose her modist. Here lots of woman wearing hijab beatifully just like Jan is wearing. But if i may suggest, maybe you cover your current modest hijab with one beautiful silk kerchief on top of the head cover..it should be more modest and also tells you that you are a moslem...hope it works....i feel so grateful with jan..
wassalam

Khadi_M · 10-04-2007, 09:37 AM

Love the video and the attitude of Jan.She is such a cheerful person with lots of positive influence....

sha587 · 05-12-2008, 01:54 AM

Just look at thoses womens, they all are coming from a culture which is totally different but when they found the truth they simply accept the truth as it is without making their own interpretation. When i first saw these converted Muslims i was feeling shame how i and my other Muslims brothers and sisters make their interpretation about Islam just for their own internal desires. They are surely very good future of Muslim ummah.

God bless all Muslims especially converted ones.

Salama Peace · 06-12-2008, 02:57 PM

AlHamduLiliah Its the first step and we slowly learn day by day....its true now alot of muslims born as muslims think they will enter jannah jus coz they said the shahadah or because they are muslims...a muslim is a muslim by action and not words...InshaAllah Sister Jan Allah will hwlp you keep on the straight path and increasee your iman day by day...ameen...Salam
