Today I came across a revert experience of an American revert which was really amazing. A young boy of merely 18 years of age, who had been engaged in a life of street crimes and drugs and had a very uneasy stay in schools. And then suddenly came the life changer and he reverted to Islam.
Asked in an interview, as my readers will watch below, he listed down four reasons that attracted him to Islam:
- Tawid (faith in One God) as against the faith in three gods of Trinity
- Purity
- Discipline, and
- The Kalima
After reversion to Islam and undertaking intensive studies in knowing more in Islam, he is now engaged full time in Da'wah and inviting non Muslims to Islam. Interestingly, his first conversion was of his friend who was once his partner in his street crimes life. He then persuaded his grandmother to Islam, which she willingly accepted. From then on, there is no ending in his pursuits to extend Da'wah to so many. What a rewarding life: rising above the life of street crime and carrying on the noble cause of Da'wah.
Without wasting anymore time in writing, please watch the full video of reversion to Islam, which is simply so inviting and logical that many may take a cue form his experience and make up their mind to revert to Islam.:
May Allah (سبحانه و تعالى) help us understand Qur'ān and follow the Sunnah of Prophet Muhammad ﷺ, which is embodiment of commandments of Allah contained in the Qur'ān. May Allah help us have unflinching faith and trust in Divine Wisdom and decisions and should never lament for we do not know that something better has been planned for us by our most caring Lord. May all our wrong doings, whether intentional or unintentional, be forgiven before the angel of death knocks on our door.
وَمَا عَلَيۡنَاۤ اِلَّا الۡبَلٰغُ الۡمُبِيۡنُ
(36:17) and our duty is no more than to clearly convey the Message.”
That is Our duty is only to convey to you the message that Allah has entrusted us with. Then it is for you to accept it or reject it. We have not been made responsible for making you accept it forcibly, and if you do not accept it, we shall not be seized in consequence of your disbelief, you will yourselves be answerable for your actions on Day of Resurrection.
Reading the Qur'ān should be a daily obligation of a Muslim - Reading it with translation will make it meaningful. But reading its Exegesis / Tafsir will make you understand it fully. It will also help the Muslims to have grasp over social issues and their answers discussed in the Qur'an and other matter related to inter faith so that they are able to discuss issues with non-Muslims with authority based on refences from Qur'an.
May Allah forgive me if my posts ever imply a piety far greater than I possess. I am most in need of guidance.
Note: When we mention God in our posts, we mean One True God, we call Allah in Islam, with no associates. Allah is the Sole Creator of all things, and that Allah is all-powerful and all-knowing. Allah has no offspring, no race, no gender, no body, and is unaffected by the characteristics of human life.
