As Salaam alaykum! ☀️

I hope everyone will have an amazing day Ameen 🦋

Spring is coming here and this brings me so much joy alhamdulillah.

The way everything comes back to life makes me think of the journey we all go through. We all face so many obstacles along the way and we have many lessons to learn. Sometimes we get lost in the darkness of our ego and we forget who we are. I feel that the Shahadah is just like spring. No matter where you have been or how lost you feel, it will bring you to Light. The day i took my Shahadah everything was given a whole new meaning, new vibrant colors, new fragrances. Alhamdulillah. Everything directs to Him and everything is encompassed in His Mercy.

May Allah guide us all to Him Ameen 😊

Two years ago I took my Shahada and officially became Muslim, alhamdulillah! So many people lately have been asking about my revert story, so I did a live video! To check it out, head over to my YouTube channel, search @RivkaSajida on Facebook, or follow the link https://youtu.be/UxV6E3mg4wo !! #muslimah #gothniqabi #gothhijabi #goth #revert #fashionblogger #youtube #revertstory #revertstories #muslim #jewish #niqab #niqabi #hijab #hijabi

Forgiveness and hope are such powerful things.

I mentioned before that i am healing after many years of depression. In those times i felt the need to protect myself. Also many close people in my life were telling me that i need to toughen up. To show the image of a powerful, strong person who doesn't care about anything. Because i was and i am very mild and fragile. The result was that for a long time I had a harshness and unwillingness to cooperate that was not natural to my character. I was also really insecure because i was constantly lying to myself. I did not have integrity. Nothing was working in my life anymore. I was stuck in stillness. I couldnt grow.

I feel that i am slowly making peace with my past and with who i am. This is allowing me to come back to who i really am. I am rediscovering a much calmer and softer side of me. I dont feel ashamed of who i am. I dont feel the need to hide. I feel happier and more confident than ever before. I am rediscovering my passion for life. I feel only love within and all around me. I believe that being able to surrender and be vulnerable is so much more powerful than showing a tough cover.

No matter what is happening in your life and what people think that you should be, never let go of your true self. Allah will guide your heart. When we are sincere Allah will show us the way. I can not repeat this enough.

Never forget that each person has their own wounds which they are trying to hide and heal. People never act in a certain way without a reason. Simply be kind and understanding towards each other. Dont break trusts because they are so difficult to rebuild and healing takes a long time.

So you probably know this by now... I absolutly looooove when people are themselves. When they dont pretend to be something they are not. The kind of connection we are able to form is amazing. I always love the energy it creates, the trust, the silliness. I love everything about it.

I love it when we discuss openly about everything and we share experiences. I love it when we are weird together. I love it when we are vulnerable together. I love it when we simply have fun together.

One of the things that i love the most about islam is that it allows us to be ourselves while protecting us from anything that would harm our character. Islam gave me freedom of expression. It took away the things that were holding me down and keeping me stagnant. Islam allowed me to truly do things through my heart, my essence.

I feel that when we are sincere and do something for the sake of Allah we feel a joy within. Like a child that sees snowflakes for the first time. Everything flows so naturally when we are sincere. As its just meant to be - like the peaces of a puzzle coming together.

Many people think that islam is oppresive. But it is the complete opposite . Islam educates our ego, makes us free from the opinion of others, teaches us to have pure intention and always look towards Allah and the hereafter. There is non real freedom and joy other than this subhan Allah.

Traveling always helps me clear my mind. I am more of an energetic person. Sitting in one place and doing the same thing over and over drains my energy sometimes. Even moving to another city for a few days feeds my need for adventure😌 i love to see new places, learn new things and meet new people whenever i get the chance.

Today i went in one of my favourite gardens. It is designed and built a while back so it has a pretty vintage touch to it. It is almost like a labirinth. What i love the most about it is that it is filled with roses. The colors, the parfume, the sun shining.... They make me feel alive. There is no other place that gives me this certain feeling.

Which is a place that you traveled to and loved the most?

One of the things i love the most is speaking with people about Allah. The strongest connection with others is made when becoming aware of His Presence and Love alhamdulillah.💗❤️ Its so beautiful to get to know each persons story 😊

The more we learn, the more we understand how little we actually know

(It is incredible what we discover when we expect it the least.)

As a teen, i would always stay between the same lines, looking for people that have the same view of things as my own. I would rarely step outside this circle and would be really judgmental towards people that acted/thought/spoke in a different way. I did not think i would be able to relate to others and ,to a level, saw them as strangers or enemies.

At the same time, i always felt a very strong need to be able to connect with others on a deeper level, to communicate freely, to exchange experiences. But something was always stopping me. I was afraid of what i would find. i was afraid of what others would see.

Recently, i decided to open up more. To step outside of the limits i was setting for myself, without any expectations. To let all my fears go and reach out.  I am really grateful for everything I have learned ever since that moment and the things that i will come to know in the future insha Allah.

I am starting to see the beauty in diversity, the wisdom behind the way we are created-how we complete each other and make each other stronger, how being open can open so many opportunities to do good, how leaving my nafs behind allows me to look at people through my heart, how everybody contributes to His Plan.

I found that, ultimately, what we all want stays the same, no matter how much our other characteristics differ. We all want happiness, safety, love, harmony. This is what we truly need. And i find it extraordinary how each of us expresses this longing differently.

After understanding these things, it seems that we are acting against our own nature. What is the purpose of war/conflict? We are blinded and we do not understand that following our own interest, breaking peoples hearts, breaking ties will only lead to our own destruction. There is no winning party when one of us falls. We are bound to each other and the only way to make the world a better place is by working together and seeing the true value in ourselves and the people around us.
