How I view Islam after 3 years from my reversion?

[@palficsabapeter]

I have been a revert for a little over a year and I have the same issues :( I recently started to take classes at an online Islamic institute since I am from rural Hungary and there are no other options really here. May Allah give us both persistence and success in this journey, brother.

@@wawariro2247 sure 😊 Well, I was not shy to live for my desires when I was a jahil as the brother also says in the video lots of reverts do. I also had a pretty huge ego so when my girlfriend broke up with me 3 years ago, my self image was basicaly shattered. A bit of background info: I was in a relationship with an egyptian girl and she peaked my interest in the arabic language, so I was already learning arabic. Later this would be useful when trying to make sense of the Qur’an because translations can be hard to work with. Anyways, I was trying to build myself back up and realized that the sins of my past weighed me down and the hedonistic lifestyle I pursued was not in any way fulfilling. I got very introspective in those days and one time just looking out my balcony at sunset, I had a realization that “I can trust my intuition.” I know this may sound common sense, but with the background I came from, the sort of ultra-rational mindset was accepted only. I felt there was something more to life than materialistic needs, like a purpose if you will. So following this, I began discovering different spiritual practices, scriptures religions and 2 years down the line, I’ve accepted Islam. Alhamdulillah. Sorry for the long reply. Yeah family isn’t happy and people in Hungary despise Islam and every Muslim must be a terrorist or a brain washed tool. Watch the brother’s video on the situation of Islam in Europe. That is pretty accurate.

@@wawariro2247 insha Allah, the second time is the charm (YT removed my first reply). So, 3 years ago my then girlfriend broke up with me and since I had a huge ego, it completely broke my self-image. I come from a background where one half of my family are fundamentalist Christians and the other half are ultra-rational atheists. Alhamdulillah, I have a natural disposition to not accept contradicting beliefs and thus, I grew up to view religious people as gullible and led a very hedonistic life. After the break up, I spent lots of introspective time trying to figure stuff out, might I add I had been going to therapy for years before to deal with my anxiety. I began feeling like there was more to life, like I was made for more than just living out my desires and then when it's over, it's over. I had been battling with my ultra-rational mindset and one day I realized that I could just trust my intuition. If you will, this was akin to what Al-Ghazali wrote in his Deliverance from Error, realizing there is more beyond intellect that can't be rationalized. After, I started seeking spirituality in various forms and 2 years later I ended up accepting Islam. Subhanallah, the ex-girlfriend who broke up with me was Egyptian and I began learning Arabic at that time. Had it not been for that, I don't know whether I'd have picked up a Qur'an or understood much of it. Now, the more I study, the more miracles I discover that are rather hard to extract in translations, so alhamdulillah for giving me the opportunity to learn to understand at least basic-level Arabic. Parents and family of course aren't happy. Their reactions range from angry at worst to confused at best. Same about how people in Hungary think about Islam. You can listen to the video from the brother about the situation of Islam in Europe. Really sums it up.

​​@@jantheslovakmuslimAssalamualaikum brother, I can relate to what you are saying... When I first started practice Islam properly I had this real zeal and sincerity and felt close to Allah... But over time due to sins and rust of the heart it is not easy to get back to the same level of sincerity and closeness to Allah even though I now have better understanding of the religion and better knowledge of how to practice Islam... And also now I have even greater certainty of Islam being the true religion... But the good thing is there are ways to get back that closeness to Allah but it takes some work... I feel that closeness sometimes but not as much as before when I first started practicing Islam properly in my early 20s... I recommend people to watch one or 2 great Friday khutbahs on youtube on the topic by a really knowledge Madinah graduate - Tim Humble... First one is titled something like 'Renewing iman by Tim Humble'... About 15 mins long... It goes through some key steps we can do to get back that closeness to Allah... And the other video is about half an hour long and is titled something like 'Juma'ah khutbah - purification of soul by Tim Humble... Both are excellent khutbahs... I highly recommended others to watch at least one of the videos!

[@TheWatchmanWebsite]

​@@jantheslovakmuslim Friend, I hear your story but I would like to share this thought with you: even if we were to put aside the *TRINITY,* does the *TAWHID* of Allah mean that he is the same monotheistic God worshipped by the Jews as claimed by Allah in Al-'Ankabut (QS 29:46) and by Muslims? No! The claim of monotheism alone is not enough to conclude that they are the same being. The 7th century Allah of the Qur’an is *ANOTHER* god. Here's 5 reasons why: The true God worshipped by the Jews is: 1. *FATHER:* The prophets of YAHWEH, like Moses, repeatedly called the true God of Israel 'FATHER' and 'CREATOR' and we are his sons and daughters (Exodus 3:14-15, Deuteronomy 32:6, Psalms 89:26‭-‬27, Isaiah 63:16, Matthew 6:9). Jesus prayed "Abba, Father". Yet Allah of the Qur’an contradicts this by saying "they falsely ascribe to Him sons and daughters without any knowledge." QS 6:100. Allah of the Qur’an, in no way, shape or form (spiritually, literally or metaphorically) is he FATHER to anyone (QS 6:100). Muhammad’s father, Abdullah, worshipped the moon and star god ☪️ Hubal as 'Allah of the Kaaba' 🕋. Just like Allah, Hubal was called *'al-ilah'/the god).* Hubal meant 'He who is Baal'. Baal is a mutation or manifestation of Satan, the Great Deceiver. "Abdullah" meant SLAVE of Hubal. Muslims ☪️ too are SLAVES of Allah of the Kaaba 🕋 and not his children. 2. The glory (Shekinah/kavod) of God *ENTERED AND FILLED* the tabernacle of Moses (Exodus 40:34) and the temple of Solomon (2 Chronicles 7:1‭-‬3) *and dwelt among the Israelites.* The glory of Allah of the Qur’an *does not descend to the earth* (Sahih Muslim 179). How are they the same God? 3. In the Torah, the Mighty God (Hashem) *APPEARED ON EARTH* to Abraham in the Hebrew Torah (Genesis18:1-3,11-13) as *a man* to inform him that he will give him a son, Isaac and to Moshe (Moses) in the Torah (Exodus 3) as the *Malach Hashem* (Angel of the Lord) which is a *theophany* of God (a physical manifestation of God on earth):(Hebrew Bible Exodus 3:1-4,6). Was this Allah of the Qur’an? No. 4. *SACRIFICE (ATONEMENT OF SINS:* The God worshipped by the Jews has always been a God of sacrifice even from the first book of the Torah when he commanded Abraham to sacrifice his only son of the promise (Isaac) Genesis 22:2. After Isaac, God's acceptance of sacrifices was later reflected in the yearly sacrifice of a *spotless lamb* for the atonement of sins (Day of Atonement) which ALL the prophets of God participated in from the tabernacle of Moses to the temple of Solomon in Jerusalem. This ended with the *sinless Messiah* offering his life as a sin offering (Isaiah 53). Has Allah of the Qur’an accepted animal sacrifice in the Kaaba? No. 5. *DESIGN OF HOUSE OF GOD:* The tabernacle of Moses and the temple of Solomon had the same design/pattern but the Kaaba is totally not related to the temple of YAHWEH of the Jews. Where is the *Holy of holies* and the *covering Cherubs* of the Kaaba? Moses was instructed to design the tabernacle according to the pattern of the tabernacle in heaven! The tabernacle in heaven is like the tabernacle of Moses and temple of Solomon, not like the Kaaba in Mecca! There is no proof whatsoever in the Law of Moses, the Prophets and the Psalms that the Kaaba was ever built by Abraham and Ishmael as claimed in QS 2:127 and QS 22:26-27! It's a big lie! Allah's atonement of sins in the pagan Kaaba [al-Tirmidhi, 959] was never through the sacrifice of a spotless lamb but was, and still is, through a pagan stone claimed to have "fallen from heaven" and was white but became black because of the sins of the sons of Adam (al-Tirmidhi 877). Atonement in Islam through the Black Stone is the biggest spectacle of abomination the world has ever witnessed since the creation of mankind. It requires no intelligence to figure out that the God whom the Jews worship is not the 7th century god of the Qur'an! These are two different beings. Allah of the Muslims has no history whatsoever before 610 outside the 7th century Qur'an. Allah of the Qur’an is a false god, the Great Deceiver, who disguises himself as the God of the previous scriptures and the prophets inorder to deceive beloved Muslims. Let him who has ears hear! Blessings.

I agree with you. We are all uncertain about whether some of our characteristics will be our downfall in the Aakhirah. The point of us being created as imperfect beings, is for us to take up the challenge and work towards improving those problematic characteristics. The reward is in the constancy of trying to improve ourselves for the sake of the Almighty. The struggle for dealing patiently with life’s challenges is not easy. The Muslim Ummah is culturally diverse, speak lots of different languages and do everyday living in a variety of ways. So, when we translate A sentence from our mother tongue to our Muslim brothers, it might sound a bit harsh to the ears of people from cultures where that language use a different idiom to get the message across. So one issue to be patient with is when people who misunderstand us, because our message is lost in translation, we bear that with patience and simply try to clarify things

[@alexnordberg321]

I'm also a revert in a non-muslim country and I understand your point very well. I feel guilt in things that I have done and what I am still doing. It's hard but we have to trust in Allah (SWT) and remember that he is truly the most gracious to his creation.

[@Mym794]

Feeling guilty for committing a sin is part of repentance and a sign of sincerity. However, don't keep the feeling alive after repentance. Allah in the Quran said: "Say, ˹O Prophet, that Allah says,˺ “O My servants who have exceeded the limits against their souls! Do not lose hope in Allah’s mercy, for Allah certainly forgives all sins.1 He is indeed the All-Forgiving, Most Merciful." He also said: "Establish prayer ˹O Prophet˺ at both ends of the day and in the early part of the night.1 Surely good deeds wipe out evil deeds. That is a reminder for the mindful." Scholars always worn us not to make past mistakes a lifetime regret. Allah will forgive any sin every time a person repents, even if that person continues to sin. The most important thing is to continue with the repentance whenever you sin.

Assalamu alaikum, my mother is an Irish revert and my husband is an English revert. Like me, a born Muslim, the reverts in my life are always developing, learning more things about themselves as well as the religion. The best thing is to focus on your needs and that of the people around you. Ask Allah for guidance and truly you will continue to be guided by the All Knowing, All Mighty. Shaitan wants you to fail and will always be around you, the practice of putting your time and effort to serve your Lord and others everyday, is going to test you. Don't think things will change in respect of what your weakness is. We all have to keep working on this and insha Allah try to be hopeful that the good outweighs the bad on the Day of Judgement.

As a devoted follower of islam do you support the practice of slavery , female sëx slavery as permitted in quran, islam, would you still support it if you , your family members , community are subjected to female sëx slavery, Quran 4:24 Also ˹forbidden are˺ married women-except ˹female˺ captives in your possession This is Allah’s commandment to you. Lawful to you are all beyond these-as long as you seek them with your wealth in a legal marriage, not in fornication. Give those you have consummated marriage with their due dowries. It is permissible to be mutually gracious regarding the set dowry. Surely Allah is All-Knowing, All-Wise.

Having overcome them and taken them captives, the Companions of Allah's Messenger (may peace te upon him) seemed to refrain from having intercourse with captive women because of their husbands being polytheists. Then Allah, Most High, sent down regarding that: " And women already married, except those whom your right hands possess (iv. 24)" (i. e. they were lawful for them when their 'Idda period came to an end). Hadeeth was narrated by al-Bukhaari (2542) from Ibn Muhayreez who said: I saw Abu Sa’eed (may Allaah be pleased with him) and I asked him. He said: We went out with the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) on the campaign of Banu al-Mustaliq, and we captured some prisoners from among the Arabs. We desired women and the period of abstention was hard for us, and we wanted to engage in ‘azl (coitus interruptus). We asked the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) and he said, “There is no point in doing that, for there is no soul which Allaah has decreed should exist until the Day of Resurrection but it will come into existence.” Abu Sa'id al-Khudri reported that at the Battle of Hunain Allah's Messenger sent an army to Autas and encountered the enemy and fought with them.

And for those who are pregnant, their term is until they give birth. And whoever fears Allah - He will make for him of his matter ease. Age of Aisha Narrated 'Aisha: that the Prophet married her when she was six years old and he consummated his marriage when she was nine years old, and then she remained with him for nine years (i.e., till his death).

@@LorraineH1976 ask your mother if she is satisfied about her status in ïslãm *Top ten reasons where Islam gives special status to women* 10. A husband has sëx with his wife, as a plow goes into a field. The Quran in Sura (Chapter) 2:223 says: Your women are your fields, so go into your fields whichever way you like . . . . 9. Husbands are a degree above their wives. The Quran in Sura 2:228 says:Wives have the same rights as the husbands have on them in accordance with the generally known principles. Of course, men are a degree above them in status . . . 8. A male gets a double share of the inheritance over that of a female. The Quran in Sura 4:11 says: The share of the male shall be twice that of a female . . . . . A woman's testimony counts half of a man's testimony. The Quran in Sura 2:282 says: And let two men from among you bear witness to all such documents [contracts of loans without interest]. But if two men be not available, there should be one man and two women to bear witness so that if one of the women forgets (anything), the other may remind her. 6. A wife may remarry her ex-husband if and only if she marries another man, they have sëx, and then this second man divorces her. The Quran in Sura 2:230 says: And if the husband divorces his wife (for the third time), she shall not remain his lawful wife after this (absolute) divorce, unless she marries another husband and the second husband divorces her. [In that case] there is no harm if they [the first couple] remarry . . . 5. Slave-girls are sêxüãl property for their male owners. The Quran in Sura 4:24 says: And forbidden to you are wedded wives of other people except those who have fallen in your hands [as prisoners of war] . . . 4. A man may be polygamous with up to four wives. The Quran in Sura 4:3 says: And if you be apprehensive that you will not be able to do justice to the orphans, you may marry two or three or four women whom you choose. But if you apprehend that you might not be able to do justice to them, then marry only one wife, or marry those who have fallen in your possession. 3. A husband may simply get rid of one of his undesirable wives. The Quran in Sura 4:129 says: It is not within your power to be perfectly equitable in your treatment with all your wives, even if you wish to be so; therefore, [in order to satisfy the dictates of Divine Law] do not lean towards one wife so as to leave the other in a state of suspense. . Husbands may hit their wives even if the husbands merely fear highhandedness in their wives (quite apart from whether they actually are highhanded The Quran in Sura 4:34 says: 4:34 . . . If you fear highhandedness from your wives, remind them [of the teaching of God], then ignore them when you go to bed, then hit them. If they obey you, you have no right to act against them. God is most high and great 1. Mature men are allowed to marry prepubescent girls. The Quran in Sura 65:1, 4 says: 65:1 O Prophet, when you [and the believers] divorce women, divorce them for their prescribed waiting-period and count the waiting-period accurately . . . 4 And if you are in doubt about those of your women who have despaired of menstruation, (you should know that) their waiting period is three months, and the same applies to those who have not menstruated as yet.

Hadeeth was narrated by al-Bukhaari (2542) from Ibn Muhayreez who said: I saw Abu Sa’eed (may Allaah be pleased with him) and I asked him. He said: We went out with the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) on the campaign of Banu al-Mustaliq, and we captured some prisoners from among the Arabs. We desired women and the period of abstention was hard for us, and we wanted to engage in ‘azl (coitus interruptus). We asked the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) and he said, “There is no point in doing that, for there is no soul which Allaah has decreed should exist until the Day of Resurrection but it will come into existence.” Abu Sa'id al-Khudri reported that at the Battle of Hunain Allah's Messenger sent an army to Autas and encountered the enemy and fought with them. Having overcome them and taken them captives, the Companions of Allah's Messenger seemed to refrain from having intercøurse with captive women because of their husbands being polytheists. Then Allah, Most High, sent down regarding that:" And women already married, except those whom your right hands possess (Quran 4:. 24)" (i. e. they were lawful for them when their 'Idda period came to an end). Sahih Muslim 8:3432 *As a devoted follower of islam do you support the practice of marriage of prepubescent muslim girls with grown up muslim men and having sexual intercourse* Quran 65:4 And those who no longer expect menstruation among your women - if you doubt, then their period is three months, and [also for] those who have not menstruated. And for those who are pregnant, their term is until they give birth. And whoever fears Allah - He will make for him of his matter ease. Age of Aisha Narrated 'Aisha: that the Prophet married her when she was six years old and he consummated his marriage when she was nine years old, and then she remained with him for nine years (i.e., till his death). Sahih Bukhari 7:62:64 A'isha (Allah be pleased with her) reported: Allah's Apostle (may peace be upon him) married me when I was six years old, and I was admitted to his house when I was nine years old.' Sahih Muslim 8:3310 Aisha said, "The Apostle of Allah married me when I was seven years old." (The narrator Sulaiman said: "Or six years."). "He had intercourse with me when I was 9 years old. Sunan Abu Dawud 2116 By God, I do not say this to exalt myself over any of my companions." "What are these?" he asked. She replied, "The angel brought down my likeness; the Messenger of God married me when I was seven; my marriage was consummated when I was nine; he married me when I was a virgin,no other man having shared me with him; inspiration came to him when he and I were in a single blanket; I was one of the dearest people to him, a verse of the Qur’an was revealed concerning me when the community was almost destroyed; I saw Gabriel when none of his other wives saw him; and he was taken (that is, died) in his house when there was nobody with him but the angel and myself." According to Abu Ja‘far (Al-Tabari): The Messenger of God married her, so it is said, in Shawwal, and consummated his marriage to her in a later year, also in Shawwal.

[@midnightmoonlight1597]

Many muslims dismiss this but do dhikr with contemplation on what you're saying. It is so powerful and transformational. It is what changes your heart. Spend time in sujood. Make lots of duas in isolation - ask Allah to clean your heart. Learn the duas from the Quran, they are powerful. I wrote them down on a paper next to my prayer mat and after each prayer I say one, now i know many. Get up 10-15 mins before fajr and get into the habit of tahajud - pour your heart out to Allah. These are the actions that bring you closer to Allah and clean your heart. When you work on the inside your actions will be a reflection of this - they will fall into line, you will want to do the good and stay away from the bad. Allah makes it easy.

[@TheRockeyAllen]

SubhanAllah I just dropped a comment recommending the same, and found this comment haha 100% agree We have to wake up for fajr, no option there So waking up just 15-20 mins before fajr time isn't difficult really Also, simply engaging in dhikr when walking, doing chores, etc makes a huge difference in the state of our hearts! I recommend it to everyone

As a devoted follower of islam do you support the practice of slavery , female sëx slavery as permitted in quran, islam, would you still support it if you , your family members , community are subjected to female sëx slavery, Quran 4:24 Also ˹forbidden are˺ married women-except ˹female˺ captives in your possession This is Allah’s commandment to you. Lawful to you are all beyond these-as long as you seek them with your wealth in a legal marriage, not in fornication. Give those you have consummated marriage with their due dowries. It is permissible to be mutually gracious regarding the set dowry. Surely Allah is All-Knowing, All-Wise. Sahih Muslim 1456 a Abu Sa'id al-Khudri (Allah her pleased with him) reported that at the Battle of Hanain Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) sent an army to Autas and encountered the enemy and fought with them.

Akhi, I am not a revert, but I was not a good muslim (this has caused me a great deal of shame and guilt) and I've had my fair share of trials and tribulations in life. What helped me through the struggle was understanding who Allah is, what his attributes are, and understanding the sentence: Inaa Lillah wa inaa elaihi raji'uun. That gave me a great deal of clarity and in sha Allah it can also benefit you. May Allah guide us all.

ماشآءالله الحمدلله الله اكبر From ur brother in Islam in Thailand

[@a4482921]

Thank you for the honest reflections, brother. Towards the end you talked about contentment with worshipping Allah and separating from the fitna of the dunya, which is a natural wish of every believing heart. It is said in a Hadith that the dunya is a prison for the believers and a paradise for the nonbelievers. However, Islam is a middle path that encourages engagement with the dunya as a form of worship, while cleansing our hearts of any attachment to it. As a Hadith goes: Ibn Umar reported: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said, “The believer who mixes with people and is patient with their harm has a greater reward than the believer who does not mix with people, nor is patient with their harm.” Seen in this way, your efforts to build a Slovak Muslim community is part of a great sunnah, which is dawah. May Allah accept your deeds, and reward you for your patience in dealing with all of the fitna of the dunya.

[@user-bn2nv5mx2g]

This video is perfect timing and soo relatable. This is one of the biggest issue that Muslims face today, of course myself included, and it’s not talked about enough. That being said this reminds of a statement of Ibnul Qayyim (Rahimahullah) where he said something along the lines of: “When I was young I used to think Fiqh and certain Hadith sciences like Jarh and Ta’deel (criticism of Hadith transmitters) and the like were enough to maintain a healthy heart but I came to realize that it’s necessary to supplement that with Raq’iq (heart softeners) / Tazkiyyah (purification of the self) and reading about the lives of the Prophets and the Righteous Predecessors.” This statement is very true personally I find reading about the greatness and asceticism / Zuhd of the early Muslims to be really great for reviving the heart. A great book about this that I particular like is the Beacon of Basra by Ibnul Jawzi It documents the life of the great Hasan Al Basri, his sayings, and asceticism. It’s available in English too in pdf form.

May Allah make you strong and firm in your iman and islam. You are a born entrepeneur, that's why you are so active. Islam is here, Allah's mercy, to help us navigate in our everyday life- the one each and one of us, muslim or no, lives. Imagine being out there in the midst of the ocean in the darkness of a night- how would we know where and how to sail if we didn't have our Lord"s instruction! And there's always the struggle not to be overtaken by dunya and our needs. Having lived through Bosnian war as a teenager and now comparing the temptations my kids teenagers go though now, in the time of peace and well being, I find my tribulation small ones. And do come to Bosnia again and reflect and do zikr in the shades of our mesajid! You are very welcome.

You are on the right way.. I am born as muslim I have the same struggle and I came up to the same conclusion : it all about deepening your Iman .. Brother, there is a difference between what God wants - as expressed in quraan- and what people concluded and interpreted . No matter how effort they paid to reach it, this difference will last.. I am sure God will reward our Ulamaa in Fiqh, Elm albalkam , interpretation, etc but the truth will be owned only by Allah .. and we are urged to keep trying ourselves , to determine our choices , the direction of our Taa and Taqwa and the priorities between believes and practices if they clash.. That's why we were granted reason and for this and on this we will have our after life interrogation. So keep on ربنا بهديك وايانا.

I have been deeply inspired by Reverts and their unique perspectives on Islam. Despite being born into a Muslim family, attending Islamic school, and speaking Arabic fluently, I find myself constantly learning from Reverts. Their fresh viewpoints and personal experiences with Islam often offer insights that challenge my own understanding and enrich my faith. I am genuinely grateful every time I meet a Revert because they remind me of the diverse ways Islam can be understood and lived. However, I also want to emphasize that struggling is a natural part of faith. Regardless of our background, we all face doubts, moments of weakness, and phases where our faith feels low. This is simply part of life. We sin, we strive to be better, and we constantly try to avoid wrongdoing, but perfection is impossible. Living in a Western society, or even in a Muslim country, brings different challenges that test our faith in various ways. From my experience in both environments, I know that each has its own set of difficulties. The key takeaway is that struggling, having low phases, and making mistakes are normal. What matters most is that we continue to try our best and place our trust in Allah to guide us. We must always hold onto our prayers and Duaa, asking for guidance and strength. It is through this continuous effort and seeking Allah's help that we find our way and grow in our faith.

[@Mariamblu]

We all struggle and nobody is perfect. Just started to watch your video. Now at 4:00 min. I’m born Muslim and I never found myself perfect.

Brother try to follow the principles of Islam as much as you can. Be honest. Do not cheat. Hold on to your word. Do not hurt somebody feelings. Don't backbite. Always thank Allah tallah for what he is blessed you with. Their is so much good in Islam. I try to stick to these principles. A saying of prophet Muhammad is do not hurt someone with your tongue and with your hands and being honest and humble should be tha base. Allah tallah bless you with good health.

Dear brother, may Allāh make your struggles easy. Your intention to clean your heart and focus on your self improvement is highly commendable. But as a brotherly reminder, I hope you always keep in mind that Islam is the middle path--balance between vertical and horizontal relationships, between personal and social improvement, between dunya and akhira, etc. Allāh wants us to worship Him not only in a ritualistic manner but also in a practical manner through contribution to society. He wants us not only to aspire to His blessings in the hereafter but also to appreciate His creations, His blessings, and the manifestations of His greatness in this dunya. To improve ourselves is good but what's the point if we seclude ourselves and don't apply our improved selves to contribute to the society? I don't doubt your contributions to the society but I don't want you to belittle its importance. To prioritize the akhira over the dunya is good but too much contempt for the dunya may make us forget or make it difficult for us to appreciate the beauties and blessings in the manifestations of Allāh's greatness in the dunya. Allāh knows best. May He forgive and guide us.

Nafs Allwwamah, Allah swears by this...as long as we continue to constantly turn to Allah and strive for it, Allah will forgive us and by his mercy, grant entrance into Jannah...after all, entrance to Jannah is not due to our Ibaadah, but through the mercy of Allah. ❤

"the Day when neither wealth nor children will be of any benefit, Only those who come before Allah with a pure heart ˹will be saved˺.” The Messenger of Allah peace be upon him said: "Paradise is surrounded by hardships, and the Fire is surrounded by desires."

[@MuhammadHanif-es9yl]

Dear brother, life is a journey . The biggest thing in Islam for me that gives me hope is that Allah's forgiveness is always there. So if you feel you've done something bad repent even if it is for a million times. The fact you're conscious about your character and being a good person is a sign of pure Eman. I was born Muslim but what you've done not just the work on yourself but for the ummah in Slovakia is something not most born Muslims can do in their life. And in the end as the Hadith days it's always about intentions . Islam is about pure intentions and the actions that flow from them. The struggle is to make your intentions pure rest will be taken care of by Allah. The struggle you've talked about is what Prophet (PBUH) called the biggest jihad. Just be patient and like Allah says in Quran. Never despair of Allah's mercy. Another worse in Quran is about donkeys with books on back. Islam is not about amassing knowledge if you don't act right with pure intentions and that's the crisis Imam ghazali faced. The fact a poor illiterate janitor with a clean heart can be better than a an arrogant shaykh who has studied hi whole life shows what Islam is all about.May Allah bless you and your family.

Islam is simple but deep. Some other religions are complex but shallow.

Asalaamu Alaikum My brother, Proud of you!!! American revert here and I fully understand! Keep doing your work.

[@FuLa-x4x]

It's a journey. We are here to develop to improve ourselves and achieve perfection through knowledge/learning and prayer. Everything about a person’s nature and potential is connected to knowledge. The foundation, source, and true light of all genuine knowledge is understanding God, and the basis of this understanding is believing in God.

We are all struggling to be better. I am always working on myself in improving daily as a human being.

[@atiqrahman7289]

I am borne MUSLIM--- grew up in a very religious family. As I grew up later as medical student, gradually got away from religion and GOD etc. Then, a few years ago, have started getting back to DIVINITY and HUMANITY, realizing that science and technology cannot give guidance to ultimate satisfaction for a human being. So there is return to spirituality. ISLAM seems to be much more UNITARIAN and UNIVERSAL compared to other religions.

[@adnanrashtogi4553]

@@atiqrahman7289 so as a medical student do you believe that the sperms come from the backbone and ribs , that the sperms rest in the womb for 40 days, and about the conception inside a Womb,and the child is either male or female depending on who ejaculates first???
