Great conversation going here, i missed it. As a new muslim i feel worse than all you do probably. So many of my old sins are right behind me, i feel i want to be a muslim for a good 30 or so years yet, so i can truely purify myself. Everyday i think, what if i was to die tommorow, i know it's grim but it could happen. Would it be too late? What would Allah think of me at the present time.
I want to at least equal my 25 years as a non muslim, or an unaware muslim with 25 years as a muslim! asking a lot i know...Insha'Allah i will get that time. That's why i always seem like i'm hurrying with all things in Islam, i love my brothers and sisters who say, take it step by step but i feel i have to get moving now, no one knows when their time is. Horrible thought but it's Allahs sceince.
Also, i'm new to Ramadaan, i have a rough idea what must be done, but would like to know more, could anyone point me to the best link for Ramadaan information. Or post some information here that's not already in this forum. Thaaaanks.
