Bismillahir-rahmanir-raheem
As-salaamu alaykum wa rahmat-Allaahi wa barakaatuhu (Peace be upon you, and the mercy of Allaah and His blessings) to all my brothers & sisters in Islaam.....
Baarak Allaahu Feekum wa JazakumAllah khairan for your comments and that link to that Awakening article. Well put.
My journey to Islaam is personal between Allah Subhaanahu wa Taalaa and myself. Alhamdulillah, all praise, thanks and glory to Allah Subhaanahu wa Taalaa for guiding this undeserving creature to Islaam. I will be muslim three full Islaamic years next Eid.....in shaa Allah. I will say however that prior to my Reversion I had no contact with Islam whatsoever. While surfing the net a webpage popped opened one night and I read the following.....which abruptly put an end to my life as a kafir.
[b:15eea6cbec]This is the Book; in it is guidance sure without doubt to those who fear Allah.[/b:15eea6cbec] Surat Al-Baqarah 2.2
[u:15eea6cbec]Now.....How to insert a picture into a post?[/u:15eea6cbec]
When you find a pic on the net.....
click on pic with right mouse button.....
select 'Properties'.....
highlight and copy the http code.....
and save code somewhere in your PC..
Then in your post/new topic/reply typing window.....
paste in the picture (http:/ code) you saved.....
highlight it and click IMG (image) the button is up near color/bold/font/size etc.
It will now look like this.....[img]/etc%20jpg[/img]
And that's it.....(select 'preview post' and have a look).
