Converts to Islam – Balancing Between Religion and Family

I remember the last meal I had with my father. A Letter to My Christian Dad - I Found the Truth I came home from college and joined him for dinner at his favorite restaurant. The conversation followed the same pattern it always had, “ how is school?” he inquired. “ Fine” , I answered. But this meal was different. I had converted to Islam and wanted to tell him. I wanted to stand up on the table and shout it to the entire restaurant that I found this amazing path that made my life incredible. Despite my feelings, I had wisdom enough to know that approaching such a topic would need to be done delicately. So I tested the waters by asking him if he knew any Muslims, what he knew abou t Islam, all framed in such a way that he would think it pertained to a religion class I was taking. His answers came as a shock. My framing the line of questions from an academic standpoint hadn’t worked. He saw through it and informed me that no one can change their religion: That I was bor...

Accept Allah into Your Life

This is the message of peace, the message of salvation. It is the message of liberation from being enslaved to mundane things that keep shackling souls with worries and sorrows. This is a call from the One Who controls everything, calling you, humankind, to submit! Submit your life to Him and be calm. Make your motto of life  La ilaha illa Allah (There is no god but Allah). By this motto, you testify to your incapacity as a creature provided with limited faculties. You testify that everything in the universe belongs to Him, and whatever He wants will come to pass in the way and the time He wants. You testify to your being created by Him in the way He wants: { He it is Who shapes you in the wombs as He likes; there is no god but He, the Mighty, the Wise. }  (Aal `Imran 3:6) But despite His absolute power to do everything in anyway He likes, what we notice is that out of His infinite mercy He made everything perfect, created you and all what you see around you in the...
