Asalaamu alikum Muslimah and Ali,
This has been a very interesting exchange to review, and good ideas are forming. I am sorry I have not been around in a while, but my life has become busy alhumdulilah.
If you are thinking of an action plan, I am willing to help insha Allah. If this does make it to a new thread (and probaly it should) I'd like to suggest a link to this thread as much was added in the exchange between the two of you.
And when Br. Ali said that Muslims are reverting due to their own research, he is right. It is sad but there is a popular phrase among some reverts that goes, "Thank God I found Islam before I found the Muslims." This is only because of the decline in religious values, and the trend to imitate Westren cultures.
I'm going to stop here before I go off on a big long speech. Masha Allah Brother Ali, I am impressed with your devotion at your age. Insha Allah you will be an example for the Muslim youth. May Allah reward you with the best.
