A little knowledge with practice is better than much knowledge with no practice

Ever since my first contact with IslamiCity I have had nothing but positive and helpful feedback to any and all questions I have had about Islam and becoming a Muslim.

When I first found your website I had a strong affection in my heart for the way of Islam and was very thirsty for more knowledge. I requested some free literature and a Sister named Bibi called me to offer any help she could. It was so very nice to finally talk to a person instead of reading a book or article, and our talk was very encouraging. I told her of my doubts and of my sincere search for an understanding of Islam that would help me make the right decision about taking the Shahada. She said I should most definitely be sure in my heart and have no doubts about my declaration of faith. A few days later I received some pamphlets and a Qur'an (translation).

A few days later I talked to Ahmed from the Islamic Information Desk at IslamiCity, who shared with me the basics of Islamic faith. I had so many questions about what I had been reading over the past few months and about the literature, and he was very helpful and encouraging. In the beginning of our conversation he said something that really made the whole difference in my decision "A little knowledge with practice is better than much knowledge with no practice."

You see I wanted to know how to do everything perfectly before I took the Shahada. We spoke often over the next three days and I truly felt God working to bring me closer to Islam. At the end of the third day Ahmed and some of the other people at IslamiCity gathered around the speaker phone to bear witness as I pronounced the Shahada. I felt as if something gently entered into my soul, no big flash of light or anything like that but something gentle and real, it was so subtle yet has proved to be so powerful. The way I view the world and the people and creatures in it and my interactions with them. And on a deeper level than that my thought process is steadily transforming.

Life has a new meaning for me and I can feel it gradually increasing. The most powerful thing about all of this is that it is ever so gently changing me, and I feel as if Allah is constantly guiding me.

Thanks to all of your efforts I am now a Muslim and am so proud and grateful that God choose to guide me, truly He knows best. You should all be proud of your efforts if it weren't for you I would still be questioning Islam instead of living Islam, which is what it's really all about. Again thank you all so much and may Allah guide us all, Allahu Akbar, Allahu Akbar!

Jason of Kentucky took his Shahada at IslamiCity in March 2002.

KAREN FROM USA said:
Alhamdulillah. Congratulations, Jason. Dawaa is not a preaching for the purpose of converting anyone. As you have come to find out, it is an "invitation to a feast" - the feast is Islam and it is a glorious feast, especially for those who reflect. It makes all Muslims happy not to see "increasing ranks in the numbers", but to see "increasing numbers of hearts being filled from the feast." This is true joy we feel when we learn of others who are enjoying the same peace and joy, too.

MOHAMMED ALKALI FROM NIGERIA said:
Assalamu Alaikum,

Mr. Jason C-O-N-G-R-A-T-U-L-A-T-I-O-N-S. Mashallah, Al hamdullilah. Mr. Jason Islam is Allah's property and He guides whom ever He wishes into islam. There are so many actions and expressions of resentment directly and indirectly targeted at discrediting islam which is quite making impact even among muslims, in fact, some muslim feel shy or cut corners feeling inconfident when they hear or read about one of such slights. But one fact still remains that guidance is a prerogative of Allah and He bestow it on whom He pleases. No matter what they says or does, I know my religion more than them and even no about their religion more than most of them.

So, Mr. Jason be prepared and resolute. Test are abound in islam but with faith every experience will come to pass except good deeds.

May Allah continue to shower His guidance and mercy on us, ameen.

Stay blessed

Assalamu Alaykum..

Islamic religion contitutes various sects some of which
are regarded as deviated from the right path.

My troubling questions that seek immediate answers are:
1. What are those deviated sects?
2. Is there any authoritative world Mulsim body that is responsible to issue declaration about particular Islamic sect as devaited?

FATAH AHMED FROM USA said:
Salam-I am just hungry for deeper spiritual level
in this religion of Almighty Allah. You see for certain reason I don't understand, all my life has always been struggling with no success and at 45 now it boders me a great deal. It makes me lost focus on certain thing-like time to learn Quran in great deal, I've been looking for job now for about two years-I have a Son one year old and we're expecting another child by start of March. You see, I am troubled and I really need great counseling now-because I doubt myself now that I cannot provide for my family in the land of plenty. But I am very optimistic that Almighty Allah will come trough for me. Keep up the good work for this wonderful website.

Assalamu Alaikum,

Dear Brothers/Sisters in Islam.
I must say more grease to your elbows, you are doing a wonderful job. Continue relentlessly in your endeavor to educate the public the only one and only way of life i.e, ISLAM. Allah in His Infinite mercy would continue to guide and protect you. Especially now that the religion of Islam is potrayed as a "terrorist" religion. America, Europe and the rest of the world need to be well aware of the fact that the deliberate efforts they put in trying to paint Islam/Muslims 'black'. is a complete waste of time. They should channel their resources to the benefit of mankind in research and development.
May Allah come to the rescue of His beloved servants.

JANNA FROM USA said:
I was just reading the story of Jason from Kentucky who has recently converted to Islam. I could relate to much of his story. I have recently required a thirst for knowledge about Islam. I have dear friend who is Muslim and every time he spoke of his religion, I become very curious. The more he talked, I was amazed at the fact that many of the Islam beliefs, had been the way I had believed for so long, but did not know why......Where I live, there are no Muslims, no Mosques. I could not even obtain a copy of the Quran.
I started visiting many Islamic sites, I ordered a translation of the Quran and have been studying.
I find that I am changing and becoming aware of life around me, that my heart is changing, how I look at life is changing. My heart and my mind are embracing Islam, I can feel God directing me, guiding me, even guiding me to surah's to show me the Straight Way. Like Jason, I want to have practice before I say the Shahada, because I want to have no doubts about my faith. Glory be to Our Lord the Almighty! May Allah, bless us all! I am so grateful for my friend and I am so grateful for Allah, Most Merciful, for showing me the truth after all these years....

This is a useful bulletin to be read by all the Muslims out there. So that they realize that Islam is a true religion which will lead them to sacrifice on this only pathway of truth. I am really touched when reading this article as I realize that I am not yet being a good servant of Allah. He (Jason) was very lucky as Allah had sent him the 'barakah' upon him. He had choosen by Allah to convert into Islam. Congratulationm to him.
I would like to request from the Islamicity to sent me the appropriate article regarding how to be a good Muslim and how should I act towards developing an Islamic character. Thank you for sending me this valuable article and congratulations to Islamicity.

I CONGRATULATE YOU FOR THE EFFORTS YOU HAVE INVESTED WITH JASON TO BRING HIM TO ISLAM. THE MAIN MISTAKE THAT MUSLIMS PRACTICE IS THAT THEY EMBRACE EVERYONE WHO CLAIM TO BE A MUSLIM AS A TRUE MUSLIM. IT IS OUR OBLIGATION TO ENCOURAGE OTHERS WHO CLAIM TO BE INTERESTED IN ISLAM AND HELP THEM TO BECOME MUSLIMS. WE MUST NOT FORGET THAT THROUGH HISTORY THOSE WHO MOSTLY DESTROYED ISLAM AND MUSLIMS ARE THE ONES WHO CLAIM TO BE SO.

Bismillaahirrahmaanirrahiem
Assalaamu'alaikumwarahmatullaahiwabarakaatuh

With the Grace of Allah Swt, I am so happy now to be part of IslamiCity and many other Muslim organisations which I am one of their life members. Hope that we can remind ourselves to continue to learn about Islam and call others to Islam plus at the same time note that Allah Swt is the one who dictates. We are only following His orders in the way shown by Rasullullah Saw. The rest we leave it to Allah Swt the most gracious and most merciful.

If we have any disputes always come back to the source which is the Al Qur'an and the As Sunnah. The best amongst us the the one with the best of Akhlaq (Morals)

May Allah Swt continue to guide us till we meet Him with ease in His promised Jannah with Rasullullah Saw

We muslims tend to concentrate alot on our lives and forget our relationship with nature, the world around us, especially the creatures and plants,environment , plis make more articles on how muslims should conduct themselves with the nature that Allah has provided us with, most of us ignore that and mistreat the animals and plants and our environment,Wasalam

MAHMOUD KHAN FROM AUSTRALIA. said:
your articles are extremely inspiring.Alhamdolillah.Islamic City performs so succinctly and to the point in delivering the message, that you have not to fear anyone because you are protected by the Almighty-Insha Allah.
As Allah S.W.T. says in The Holy Quran " invite people to the path of Allah "(submission, salvation ,peace within yourself ,peace with His creation).And we have been urged to invite with hikma(wisdom)and to speak with gentle persuasion ( devoid of any force or aggression)to deliver the message of Peace and sanctity and to Trust in Allah S.W.T and to declare our Imaan or Trust with uttermost conviction.When I log into your site I find I am sharing a bondhood with my brothers and Sisters and feel so confident in identifying myself as a momeen and be part of this group that has embarked in inviting mankind to peace and respect each other. We may all have some differences in our opinions but we do not lose sight of the big picure. That is our unflinching submission to the Creator and belief in His noble Prophet Muhammad Mustafa (peace be upon him and all the prophets of Allah S,W.T.
Please carry on the good work. Islamicity is a role model of Islam.Baarakallah fikum. your brother in Islam Mahmoud Khan.Sydney Australia.

MOHAMED KALIF FROM SINGAPORE said:
Assalamualikum. I rececive emails from the Islamic City. It was good to hear non-muslims entering to become a muslim. Later when I went down I saw this saying to be a member. Then i clicked there so i can be a memeber of Islamic City. But there was the problem, need to pay money. I just wanna say something if you are having people to pay money to be a member it is fine, ok, Alhamdulilah. I hope you use it in the use of Allah (S.W.T). But i am a teenager, i cant pay so much and you will be losing the membership of we teenagers.

MOHAMMED ALI FROM SAUDI ARBIA said:
I have been regularly following your website with enthusiasm, and pray Allah to accept your deeds in this regard and bless all my brothers engaged in this noblest effort.

In today's bulletin I have one observation to make. As my new brothers recalls his interaction with Islamicity, he says the first response came to him was from Bibi. Ofcourse my sisters have a crucial role to play in this activity, but interaction with men is not acceptable in any way (with due apologies). By surpassing Allah's command we can not reach our goal.

I wish the Islamicity and my brothers and sisters associated with it, all the success in this world and the world here after.

ZAAHID BILAL SNOW FROM USA said:
Your including the story of a recent American convert was interesting and welcomed. I would appreciate hearing more about recent cconverts like myself. I am reired from the Foreign Service of the U.S. State Department. In 1966. I took a seminar at the Foreign Servic Institue in prepartion for posting the the Middle East. The seminar included the study of Islam. I spent 4 years living and working in Iran and Turkey. So I was familar with Islam. When the tradegy of 9/11 occured, I knew that was a religion of peace and I began a study of Isam, this not an academic one but a personal and spiritual one. One month later, I made Shadahah at the Islamic Center in Washington D.C, Alham dililah. I had been a Christian all my lfke and an Orthodox priest for 27 years. After my conversion, I have felt closer to God than ever before in my life. I thank Allah for bringing me to the truth and beauty of Islam. Now I am retired. I cannot drive and have no car. Tho' I live in a city with many Muslims, I am somewhat isolated. Would there be any way that I could find an experienced Muliam who could guide me in my growth in Isam by e-mail. Zaahid Bilal

In the name of Allah the most merciful,
Reading your article makes me proud to be Islam.
I was born as Muslim and sometimes I take Islam for granted - What I mean is ,we don't much appreciate what God have given us.But people out there have to search for the truth and not many yet got the "Hidayah" , only the choosen ones.U must be considered very lucky and much thanks to Allah that have shown U the true path.The first have done yet the journey is still long.Hold to Islam - "Istiqamah" thru' out your life until death comes.
Nothing much else to say - "Oh Allah please forgive us for not doing the Dakwah as we suppose to do to those unbelievebers"

AS-SALAAM-ALAIKUM, I WOULD FIRST LIKE TO THANK ALLAH FOR HE IS THE GIVER OF ALL THAT IS KNOWN IN LIFE AND THE KNOWER OF ALL THINGS. SECONDLY I BEAR WITNESS THAT THEIR IS NO GOD BUT ALLAH AND THAT THE PROPHET MUHAMMAD IS HIS MESSENGER! RECENTLY I READ YOUR ARTICLE "A LITTLE KNOWLEDGE WITH PRACTICE IS BETTER THAN MUCH KNOWLEDGE WITH NO PRACTICE" AND I WAS INSPIRED TO CONTACT ISLAMIC CITY VIA E-MAIL. I WAS CONTACTED BY A KIND BROTHER BY THE NAME OF AHMED WHO WAS MENTIONED IN THE ARTICLE I HAD READ. I WAS SHOCKED AT HOW FAST HE RESPONDED TO MY E-MAIL. NONETHELESS WE HAD A VERY GOOD CONVESATION ABOUT ISLAM. BROTHER AHMED WAS VERY HELPFUL AND ENLIGHTING TO ME IN REFERENCE TO ISLAM AND TE THINGS I DID NOT UNDERSTAND. HE WAS WARM, CARING, AND VERY PATIENT. TO MAKE A LONG STORY SHORT, I ACCEPTED ISLAM AND TOOK MY SHAHADDA. I AM NOW A MUSLIM AND VERY VERY HAPPY(ALLAH-U-AKBAR). BROTHER AHMED EXPLAINED TO ME THE PILLARS OF ISLAM, THE MISCONCEPTIONS OF THOSE WHO DONT KNOW ISLAM AND VARIOUS OTHER THINGS ABOUT ISLAM AND I TRULY BELIEVE THAT ISLAM IS THE TRUE RELGION OF GOD(ALLAH). ONCE AGAIN I WOULD LIKE TO THANK ALLAH FOR HIS GRACIOUSNESS, AND BENEFIECENCE AND HIS BRINGING ISLAM INTO MY LIFE. I ALSO THANK HIM FOR THE PROPHET MUHAMMAD(PEACE BE UPON HIM). I ALSO WOULD LIKE TO THANK BROTHER AHMED FOR HIS KIND WORDS AND HELP IN MY BECOMING A MUSLIM. I WILL ALWAYS BE GREATFUL TO HIM AND ISLAMIC CITY. AS-SALAAM-ALAIKUM, MR.CELESTE E MORRISON, BROOKLYN NY.

congrtulations jay!...i read the comments of the other bro from kentucky...who is also interested in taking shahada...u have to keep in mind when you enter islam..u don't have to leave jesus behind or moses behind..for they all are beloved prophets in islam...in fact there is a whole passage in quran about Mary(maryam)...and the miraculous birth of jesus and his story.

jesus(pbuh) is mentioned 30 times in the quran more than prophet muhammed(pbuh) who is mentioned 4 times...To be a muslim you have to believe in oneness of Allah and his messengers and their teachings...

I defend Islam, I educate others about this faith of God, but have been some how frozen from taking the shahada. Maybe it was all the "Jesus" brain washing I went threw as a child in need of something to hold onto as a child, and young man. You make me look at myself threw different eyes.
I to live in Kentucky, and there is not really a very big Islaimc community here. Maybe I would do better with one, but I am stuck here for now.
But, maybe I will call the number you did to lake my Shahada.
Thank you for writing your story, it has made me wake up, and take a good hard look at me.

KHAZIAH YEM FROM SINGAPORE said:
I truly envy you that God has shed its light on you. God has chosen you among the rest of the believers. You must indeed feel very lucky. I have been a Muslim all my life. We tend to take that for granted. Most of the Muslims in my country are borned being a Muslim. I see many Muslims who claimed that they are Muslims but their character and way of life does not depicts one. It is clearly that God has opened your heart to Islam. But for those who are borned a Muslim does not see or felt that special feeling. Maybe that was why many Muslims in my country living that way. Jihad in my country in not so much of showing the non-Muslim the true religion but to make borned-Muslim realize that they are indeed very lucky.
