As-salaamu’alaikum Warahmatullahi everyone! As we all know, Ramadan is tomorrow and I would like to say a few things as this will be my first time celebrating it.
I discovered Islam at a point in my life where nothing made sense. I was looking for a sense of direction and knowledge, that I was unable to find through Christianity, Buddhism or Judaism. I looked into all the ‘major’ religions as a hope of finding self-peace.
My therapist says that due to my PTSD, I need stability and clarity in my life, which is something Islam provides. My journey hasn’t been difficult but also hasn’t been easy. I read up on the origins of the religion, the main beliefs, and some things in the Qur’ān, and said: “yes, this is for me.”
I live in a household riddled with Islamaphobia. It is because of this that I can not wear my hijab, or even talk about my faith with my family. I’m okay with that though because I have something of a ‘virtual’ family who always wants to hear about my faith. It is without these people that I wouldn’t be here today. I’ll put all their thank-yous under the cut. I’d just like to say I am so blessed to be Muslim. I am so blessed and thankful that Allah loves me, and that I love him. Thank you, massive thank you, to the entire Muslim community for accepting me as your own. Subhanallah.
First thank you goes to my mamma and maama, @coolauntskam and @skamb3r
Without your endless support of everything I set out to do, I wouldn’t have gotten this far. Thank you so much for encouraging me always, for listening to me discuss religion even though it is not your own. Thank you for always listening to me about my biological parents. I love you both so much, words can not describe it. Baarakallah(may Allah’s blessings be upon you) mammas, I am who I am today because of and for you.
The second thank you goes to @queerxeva ! Anja, my love, we both decided to convert at the same time, you to Judaism and me to Islam. You have always been nothing but respectful and kind to me, allowing us to both discuss the struggles of conversion. Your strength in your conversion makes me stronger.
My last (but not least) thank you goes to @evenandsana
Faiza, I am 100% serious when I say that I wouldn’t have converted without you. Thank you so so much for always answering my questions about Islam with love and consideration, you are the one who proved to me that Islam is peace, and the people who follow it are gentle and kind souls. Would I be Muslim if I didn’t meet you? Probably, as I was always written to be, but I believe Allah put you in my life so I could find it sooner. Ramadan Mubarak, my sister. I included you in my first du’a, asking Allah to bless you and your family, and I will continue to include you in all of them. Wallah Faiza, I am eternally grateful for your hand in my conversion process and insha’Allah, Allah grants you the highest level of Jannah when he decides.
