God Has Called Me...

Asalamalaykum


First of all Anyabwile we extend the warmest of welcomes to you, and offer our congratulations for the new direction you are about to take. May Allaah protect you from all evil.


Something about your story is so beautiful and genuine, reading it really touched my heart so deeply that I have tears flowing from my eyes; it seems as though you are one step closer to becoming a Muslim. Allah knows better than you do what is good for you and what is bad for you. He has a plan for you, and His Love and Mercy is so great that your only choice is to trust in Him and submit to His Will. Sometimes you won't like what you’ll face. Life gets sometimes "ugly & difficult" I’ve seen it happen to people that mean a lot to me. It is hard, it is scary, and it is messy. Nothing comes gift wrapped with a bow on top. Islam reminds us that this short, messy, hard and beautiful life is short. The life after this one is what counts! The goal is Heaven, Paradise, Jennah. My close friend, who became a Muslim a few years ago, faced all kinds of hardship. The worst was when her mother kicked her out of her home but better and more beautiful was what Allah had in store for her. Allah gave her so much more, then what she had suffered. She visits her mother now as often as she can, she is married now and she has a beautiful son. She’s an inspiration to me, it’s a great example that if you really go overboard for what you believe in you’ll not drawn. You’ll make it through. You are following the true guidance. Bear this with patient perseverance, for you are on the right path of truth. And Allaah is the Source of strength. May the Peace of The Creator and His Blessings be upon all who enter this forum in the search for Truth and Knowledge, I pray that Allah (The God, Creator) guides you as I pray that he will guide me to be of those who will be in the company of the righteous in the hereafter. As my brothers and sisters have told you, we are ready to help you in everyway we possibly can, so ask whatever it is you wish to know.
