My name is David. I am a white American from a christian family living in NW Arkansas.
I have always struggled to accept my familys religion although I have maintained my own relationship with God through prayer. My reluctance to accept their religion was mainly due to hypocracy I saw in the vast majority around me and their support of greedy right wing politics. It never squared with the message they preached. I never worried much about my lack of organized religion until lately I began feeling like i was on the wrong path. I began praying for guidance. Over the past year and a half I believe I have been increasingly led Islam. I feel very strongly that God is calling me. I have never had any exposure to Islam. No reason to think this is anything other than a genuine calling. I have tried to learn what I can and continued to ask god if I am hearing him right. I am pretty much clueless as to where to go from here. I also have serious concerns about making such a dramatic change in my life and what effects it will have on me. I need some guidance. Preferably from someone who has been though something similar. I would greatly appreciate the help. I am open to either Email or phone correspondance. Whichever is preferable or more comfortable. My Email is [email protected] |

As'alaamu Alaikkum Wa Rahmatullahi Wa Barakatuhu Hey David how are you? I am a revert and formerly a Christian (I use that term very loosely as I wasn't practising). I think it will be better if you post your concerns in the Interfaith Dialogue section of this forum as there a lot of knowledgeable people who can help you Insha'Allah. You are being guided for sure. The thing you will have to ask yourself is what is more important in your life, what other people think or your own salvation? Be assured if/when you decide to revert there will be obstacles and problems caused by friends and relatives. The good new is that once they get used to you being a Muslim their hatred will subside Alahmdulilah. Do you want to worship One God or three? We can't wait for your posts Insha'Allah.

Years You will never be sure that you Will live untill 50 There many kids dies before they grow up Even there are many dies before 35 After life. Is eternal Allah say in quran : protect yourselves and your families from a Fire whose fuel is people and stones, over which are [appointed] angels, harsh and severe; they do not disobey Allah in what He commands them but do what they are commanded. When you die, you want to die like this happily http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=O0U6HQS51Tk Not in grieve http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=9PrQTTMFMR0 It is not because he got shocked Every One got shocked and they don't die If people will give expression on death time Due to there cases This injured should give pain expression But he doesn't http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=l7Tk0wFYRig � above all jesus peace be upon him confirmed he is prophet in bible : Luke 13:31-35 Worldwide English (New Testament) (WE) 31�At that time some Pharisees came to Jesus. They said to him, `Go away from here. Herod wants to kill you. Jesus replied peace be upon him 33�But I must go on my way today, tomorrow, and the next day. A prophet of God cannot be killed outside of Jerusalem. � name prophet muhammad in bible : http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=wm3sZfPwv1g � you should be clever in such situation Specially if they are stubborn Jospeh peace be upon him lived in prison For no sins and he was patient Plus moses peace be upon him suffered From Pharoah who fight him It is not how we start but ho we will end Here is Pharoah body found in river where he tried to Catch moses and kill him but he drawn All his solider and wealth can't do any thing toward him http://www.ibnmaktoum.sch.sa/public/static/image00222.jpg He can't afford his self sheep dress too cover his body That was god promise : Allah say in quran : So today We will save you in body (Pharoah) that you may be to those who succeed you a sign. And indeed, many among the people, of Our signs, are heedless |

Hi David,
I am pleased you are looking for God. I understand also you were disappointed by Christian lifestyle. But you make one mistake: you try to get to know God's character by observing human being. People are sinners. Don't take this as a testimony. Search in God's word. Pose yourself this question: who is God and how is He? What does He want? If you are really searching Him from the bottom of your heard, He will reply! Just be secure: He is full of love and compassion. He is peace. But He is also justice. But it's not our business to enforce His judge. He sais: "�I am the One who judges people. I will pay them back� |
