No matter how many sins you have committed - Islam can still take you in its fold

Most of us live in a state of ignorance, for we are not aware of the immense mercy of Allah. And in this state of ignorance, we commit crimes, mostly knowingly and some unknowingly and still think that we may would get escort free. The concept of confession to priests is a misnomer as a priest or any religious entity may relieve the burden of one's sins from the time being for one feels lightened after confessing to someone, but this does not cleanse the slate of one's heart as the sole authority to forgive one's sins remains with Allah alone, the Master and the Creator of this universe and no on else.

There are many a people who have drowned in the quagmire of a sinful life, those who have committed smaller to heinous crimes and sins. While some continue to do so till death reaches them, many feel ashamed of their misdeed but do not know how to repent and to whom. No matter what wordily gods, saints and priests profess, none has the authority to waive off one's sins. Even if one makes confession, the sins continue to haunt them for repentance lies with none other than Allah.

Sincere tawba (repentance with a firm promise not to repeat a sin) is always accepted by Allah. Allah says: Verily, He is One Who forgives (accepts repentance), the Most Merciful. In the Holy Qur'an Allah promises:

“Allah accepts only the repentance of those who do evil in ignorance and foolishness and repent soon afterwards” [an-Nisa’ 4:17]

Islam is the only religion where one can converse to Allah without any intermediary. No priest or saint or a religious entity is required to represent a sinner's case to Allah. It is the sinner all by himself who must make an earnest confession and seek repentance for his past sins, no matter how grave, and can have hope of being forgiven. 

Since committing sins is something that can lead one to the burning fire of hell, Allah has on a numerous occasions in the Holy Qur'an warned the sinners to repent for that is the only way to utter salvation:

“And those who, when they commit an immorality or wrong themselves [by transgression], remember Allah and seek forgiveness for their sins - and who can forgive sins except Allah ? - and [who] do not persist in what they have done while they know.”  [Aal ‘Imraan Chapter 3:135]

So why not repent when one still has time to, for no one knows for sure when the angel of death would knocks one's door. And when the angel of death is around, the transition from life to death is so swift that one doesn't even get a second to repent. So why not repent while one has still time and embark upon a new life of the enlightened path and to paradise !!

I came across this video I am sharing below and thought I must do it for those who do not find a ray of hope out of their sinful life and do not find guidance from anyone as how to repent and begin a new life. Listen this short video for it may it may change your life. Remember, Islam is the only trusted light at the end of the tunnel and one must seek it before it is too late.

Watch this enlightening video that guides even the worst of the sinners to repent and come into the fold of Islam and be rest assured that your past will be washed away and you start your day and future with a clean slate:

What are you waiting for?

Finding the Ultimate Truth - A Born Atheist finds in Islam

Most of the Muslims or for that matter that of any religion are born with the religion of their parents, myself included in the long list too, and generally do not strive to learn more about our faith of birth. But lately I started wondering what makes it for followers of other faiths to "revert" to Islam. And it was this aim in my mind, I started this blog of mine to know "The Ultimate Decision" of such people leaving their religion of birth behind and entering into the fold of Islam.

I came across many sites, mostly by the Christians, condemning Islam and lamenting that Islam coerces Christians to embrace Islam. I will someday quote some of these sites, which have tried to spread disinformation about Islam by quoting out of context verses of the Holy Qur'an to support their view point - I am amazed at such efforts wherein even the translation of the verses of the Qur'an have been twisted to make a point.

Sometime back, I shared the embracing of Islam by an Atheist who was earlier a born Catholic, which clearly shows that when a born Catholic could not find an answer to his questions in Bible, he chose to be become an Atheist for it did not require of him bondage with any religion. But even after denouncing everything and disbelieving in the existence of God or gods, many atheists find their answers in Islam. [1]

Today I am once again sharing the self confession of an atheist who was born to a Catholic family, but his parents raised him as an atheist for they too did not felt satisfied what Christians believed in.

I came across this video on Facebook and was amazed to listen to this young man's confession of how he has been wondering around in search of truth and how finally found his answers in Islam. This man from Australia looks visibly enlightened and one can understand the glow on his face for he was able to find the truth.

The last portion of the video is really very revealing and motivating. He says that having made the decision to revert to Islam, he wanted God to show him some sign that would be his final push to Islam. He said he sat in a candle lit room, and repeatedly asking for a sign - but was disappointed to find none. And then in desperation when he turned over the next page of Qur'an, there it was: The sign he was waiting for. I wont tell what was the sign, for it will spoil the spell with which one listens to his self confession.

Watch the video below of journey from Atheism to Islam in his own words:

I wish those finding truth and find faults in Islam, see this video and find out for themselves how to reach the truth - not by misguidance but striving to find the truth where it is contained: The Holy Qur'an and not sites which mislead a person to stop them from leaving their original faith and embrace Islam. May Allah always guide us on the straight path, the path of those who were blessed, and not the path of those upon whom the wrath of Allah fell or those who strayed away from the truth. [ Surah Al Fateha ]
