i have seen with my own eyes the great fear of losing a prior identity and all that one knows about how to live, if one were to really convert. converts – particularly from ‘safe’ societies, 1st world countries – have incredible courage. it’s so easy, as i’m witnessing, to backtrack, to tell yourself that maybe you were mistaken, this can’t be true, so that you can go back to what you know and not have to learn a new life like a newborn baby.

Assalamu`alaykm

Sister, thank you for the story.

Again, it confirms that Allah is the best teacher ever. Subhannallah. What a great pedagogy. Subhannallah!
Difficulties in our life are nothing but means to make us think, see things, understand things. And, Allah knows the timings, the way, the means to give those tests. Subhannallah.
Allah Akbar. We should be more than proud to have Allah as our Creator. Alhamdulillah.

May Allah make us understand His religion and makes us the way He wants us to be… there is such sweetness in that alhamdulillah.

Fi Amanillah!
Sisterly yours!

Ma’sha’allah, what a touching and beautiful story! May Allah (swt) Grant us the opportunity to pray salah at Al-Aqsa and also help us grow into better Muslims through our struggles, as the sister in the story was able to do.

Jazak’Allahu khairan and of course, wishing this sister well in her journey onwards.

subhanallah sister your story has really touched me ,it has truly made me understand:Whatever grief we go through, whatever hardship we endure, we must understand that we are never alone. Even if we feel abandoned by the world and those closest to us, Allah is there. He reminds us in the Qur’an
by :sister jinan
and when a hardship beholds a person thats a sign of allahs love for that persond
alahmudallah raab alimain and welcome to islam sister

Allah Akbar! Allah Akbar! MashAllah. Thank you so much sister for the read. This brought a river of tears to my eyes. I was born into a Muslim family and I find the same struggles while growing up in America, not wanting to leave my friends and the american ways. Reading your article is extremely refreshing and a great push to continue to follow the path of Allah (swt). May Allah (swt) continue you to bless you with a strong will.
