Quote: U know why brother, because their faith is stronger than ours, we are born muslims, we do not learn our relegion right. But when a non muslim reverts, he reverts after asking many questions so that he will have no doubt, and if any1 asked him/her, why u became a muslim they will be strong enough to answer. But sadly speaking millions of born muslims around the world dont know their relegion and how great it is.

yes, that's right. as for myself i was a Muslim just because my parents are Muslims...i used not to pray (except friday prayer) but alhamdulilah i never missed fasting ramadan since i was 12 years old.
and then my brohter woke me up one day and yelled "another plane...slammed the other tower!!!" i said "plane what? second who? second without first? tower what? funny way to wake me up!!!" he yelled "NO...big attack on America!!" i didn't believe a word until i watched the live coverage on TV.....then my brother said "its Hamas who did it..i'm sure" that was stupid...later the news flowed...Bin Laden is responsible for the biggest terrorist attack in history (after Hiroshima and Nagazaki of course) and now the world is talking about Islam...Islam!!!..where did i hear this word before?..aah...it's my religion..how did i forgot that!!!
so i started exploring my religion <b>seriously</b>......i was in a state of "Ghafla" before 9-11..but not after it....i became aware that i own a treasure..a grace from God which i'd never EVER swap for anything in the world......and alhamdulila for the grace of Islam.
and now i'm very thrilled to meet this man/woman..who may lived 500 or 1000 eyars ago and decided one day to embrace the true religion...i didn't know how his/her family dealt with it and i don't know how he/she looks like and i don't even konw his/her name but i and my family owe him/her alot because he/she is supposed to be my first Muslim grandfather/mother....if i went to heaven i will invite him/her in the first day to my palace garden where he/she can tell me his/her conversion story
we are all children of reverts sister radiyah.
regarding the subject of "reverts are better than us" read the hadith when prophet Mohammed angerily ordered his companions not to kill Kaffirs children and when they exclaimed "but they are the children of Kaffirs!!!" prophet Mohammed said to them "and who among you is NOT a children of Kaffir?"....a simple fact...the Companions were a children of Kaffirs.....10000 times better than us children of Muslims? i say NO, they are 1000000000 times better not just 10000 .
