New Muslim

[Khadijah]

Assalam Alaikum Sister Carol,

Alhumdulillah, that you reverted to Islam! I too am a revert to Islam. Sister, I encourage you to keep your salat (prayers) and when you have needs, wants and concerns to go to Allah (suphanna wa talla) and supplicate to Him alone. When you ask for forgiveness from Allah (suphanna wa talla), believe that He has forgiven you for He is most merciful and forgiving to those who are truely repentant. Learn about Allah (suphanna wa talla). Sheik Yasser at the Islamic Center of El Paso, Texas, taught in the women's class, yesturday, that you can study about the angels, the jinns, the prophets, (which is good), but if you don't know who Allah (suphanna wa talla) is, then how does one know how to worship Him the way He wants to be worshiped. In the Quran it says that mankind and jinn were created to worship Allah. That is our purpose, to worship Him.

One must aquire this knowledge through the Quran and the Sunnah (the example of the Prophet Muhammad (sa allahu alay wa salam)) in order for our worship to be accepted by Allah (suphanna wa talla).

Sister, May Allah Suphanna wa talla strengthen your eman (belief) and guide your parents to Islam. Ameen

Assalam Alaikum Ramatualla,

Khadijah
