Islam; My choice

[islammychoice]

Alhamdulillah i think I've been saved!

Asalaamu alay kum brothers and sisters.

I am from the UK, I was born and raised as a Christian. My birth name was Dominic.

I was raised in foster care due to both of my parents being addicted to drugs and alcohol. They was both in and out of jail throughout my childhood.

So for many years I felt lost. Confused. Unwanted.

At 16 I joined the British army to get away from the nightmare I seemed to be living in.

This didn't help a lot. But it gave me time to find out who I was.

This is where I started to read about Islam. It also opened doors for me to speak to people from different backgrounds. It gave me a new vision In life. It gave me hope.

I soon left the army before I was sent to war. As I didn't agree with murder. I couldn't bare to think that I would have to kill another. So I made my escape as quickly as possible.

When I had left I was in total isolation, with nobody around me what so ever. Back to how I felt as a child. It was at this stage in my life where I tried to kill myself. I didn't feel like I had any purpose. Like I was just a shadow with no reason to be here.

After this failed attempt I started to ask myself. Maybe I was ment to be here. There was a reason that it didn't work. That's when I started to reach out and ask more about Islam. And a few years later I took the step to convert Alhamdulillah, that was the best decision I ever made. I felt so overwhelmed that Allah had chose me. I now felt like I was loved. Like i had purpose. I realised my purpose in life was to serve Allah. I am Allah's servant!

Alhamdulillah Islam saved me from the darkness I was lost in.

Now I am yusuf Islam! I was tested with many tests over my years. And here I am today. Telling my story.

I wish everyone here the best in life. I pray Allah brings you happiness, success and good health InshaAllah 💚

Marriage is not a cure for your addiction. Or your depression. Or your trauma. Or or or... a person you marry is not a tool to fix your problems. And by fixating on marriage as a balm for your gaping wounds, you can painfully wrong another.

Folks must work on self-development without waiting for marriage to miraculously fix them. Go to therapy, get your health together, enroll in a rehab program now.

On a spiritual level, if you aren’t waking up for fajr now but gush about how you can’t wait for Mr or Mrs Perfect Muslim to gently sprinkle water on your face for qiyam... keep a cup of water next to you in bed so that you can drench yourself and WAKE UP. How can you rely on the appearance of a person who doesn’t yet exist in your life in this role to take responsibility for your worship? YOU wake you up! YOU be the worshipper you wish you could be!

Marriage can be a great tool of self-improvement and can help us change for the best, with God's will. A blissful marriage is a great blessing from God and the creation and care of a family is a great act of worship. The right spouse can truly *help* (not be the end all) you find a sense of wholeness and healing and comprehensive support and sometimes a sense of loving even your greatest insecurities.

But you cannot expect that to *come* from someone else. That isn’t your spouse’s responsibility. You can’t want to get married so someone else heals you. God is the only One Who deserves that level of trust.

Work on your relationship with Him, work on your own mental, physical, spiritual, psychological nurturing and become the type of person you want to marry. And be the type of person someone else would thank God for marrying.

This is the natural path of the Islamification of European women. This is the spread of Islam in our time: converting a nation person by person as Islam enters and grows in western society, freeing it from its sickness and healing it with Islamic faith. Open your counties, your cities and towns, open your women to Islam. Insha'Allah all of Europe will become Islamic.

The decision to demolish a mosque in Spain and the reaction of a Muslim football player One of the real estate companies decided to remove a mosque in the city of Andalusia on the pretext that the land contract on which the mosque is located is over And therefore has the right to use it for other projects even if they are not religious In those moments, Muslims in that ancient city found themselves in deep sorrow They do not have the money to buy the land on which the mosque is built and the time will not help them to start a fundraising campaign to collect it As soon as news reached the star from Mali "Frederic Kanoute" Sevilla player did not hesitate to buy this land to prevent the removal of the mosque and paid 700 thousand dollars to maintain the first place of worship in Islam When asked why he took this step He said that the land was offered for sale and I bought it to keep the mosque, I am a Muslim and my religion is my life and I am not just a football player I think buying the land of the mosque is better than all the titles of football and the armor of the Spanish league.

From the Darkness of Night Clubs to the Light of Islam: The story of Nicole Queen My name is Nicole Queen, I grew up in coastal Louisiana until I was about 8 years old. I then moved with my family to a small town south of Dallas Texas. My family attended a fundamental baptist church which built a strong foundation of religion inside of me. My parents were not very religious, they considered themselves free thinkers, they believe in God but like most American people they don’t really live their lives for God. My grand parents were more religious and instilled in me a strong religious foundation. Later I became an event photographer in Dallas and most of my work was at night clubs. My job was very similar to that of a paparazzi, taking pictures of celebrities, athletes, and other famous people while they attend parties. It was a really crazy life style, having to be at parties, doing everything at night time and sleeping most of the day. Not a peaceful lifestyle at all. I felt a lot of emptiness living this kind of life, being surrounded by people who are greedy. I was always looking for peace, looking for a purpose, people were always telling me that I had an awesome life but I realized that I was surrounded by people who don’t care about anything important, they don’t even know what’s going on outside of their bubble. During those years working as an event photographer I was always feeling an urge for God inside of me. I remember how I was always trying to figure out what I was looking for. I had nightmares where I am searching for something that I can’t find. I did know some Muslim people who were not very religious, I was exposed to Islam a little bit from friends who didn’t drink, friends that were a bit different, I would ask them how come you don’t want to go here or there, and they would asnwer that they don’t hang out at such places because they are Muslim. One night after a photo shoot, I met my future husband Hassan while visiting some friends. He was going through a time of soul searching similar to mine. He was born a Muslim but was not practicing his religion as should. When we met we related to each other’s struggles. Hassan was talking to me about Islam and suggested that I take classes to learn about the religion. I started noticing that the Muslim people that I was meeting have discipline and purpose in their lives. They stand out amongst everyone else as “you are all drinking, you are all partying and dressing this way, but not us”. When I started learning about Islam I got addicted to it. I would stay up all night watching Youtube videos about Islam especially those of Yusuf Estes. The more she learned about the foundation of Islam the more she felt it was exactly what she needed. I needed something strong to tell me you have to stop living this crazy life if you want to have more purpose. When I started converting to Islam, it was a long transition, it seemed like a roller-coaster at the time, it seemed like everything was happening all at once, it felt like a big blur. Now looking back I see that I made a good transition and took steps. One step was I needed to know the foundations, the pillars, the basic belief system and make sure it was something I can believe in. In April 2007, I finally decided to embrace Islam and took my Shahada. My life has been transformed since then, I wear the Hijab now and I’m a member of the Muslim American Society. Islam and Christianity are so close that for me coming to Islam was like ‘home away from home’. These days me and my husband Hasan we live busy lives working in the heart of Dallas.
