Cuando hago público que soy musulmana hay mucha gente que se sigue sorprendiendo y me pregunta por qué. ¿Qué es lo que te ha llamado la atención del islam? Me gusta responder con aquellas cosas que ha aportado el Islam a mi vida. El Islam me ha aportado paz y calma La primera cosa que ha aportado el Islam a mi vida, y además es que lo tengo clarísimo, lo sentí desde el primer momento cuando escuché la llamada a la oración por primera vez, es un sentimiento de paz y de calma en el corazón .  No puedo explicar con palabras lo que significa estar en el camino correcto, seguir la guía de Dios. Es un sentimiento que se podría equiparar al amor, a la tranquilidad, al sosiego a la calma que uno tiene en el corazón al saber que Dios es tu máximo sostén.  Cuando conocí a mi marido yo ya estaba interesada en el islam pero la verdad era bastante ignorante.

Show Your Gratitude Through Worship

Image
One of the fundamental components of a person’s relationship with Allah is worship. As one’s heart is filled with gratitude to one’s benefactor, one expresses indebtedness, humility, and surrender to him. This is a natural response, observed even in domestic animals and pets. They express gratitude by gesture or look, but human beings are required to express gratitude in a much more pronounced manner.

I got my rucksack on my back, and as I turned around to leave, I knocked the bookshelf and all the books fell off.
