As you can see from my previous few questions I would like to become a Muslim. I was just wondering, however, where I stand...in this life I have been blessed with a loving family, a good job and many good friends. However I understand that in order to succeed in the next life you must endure hardship in this life...however I have not encountered anything but blessing, kind people, hard work and good luck yet. Any advice? Thanks!

If you become a muslim, then you put the hardships on yourself, because before all said & done, you will hate everyone, Many people has a good life without many hardships, & they don't have to prove hardships in order to be something in the afterlife, In the after life, if you are not a christian here before the after life, then you will encounter many hardships in the afterlife, & not blessings. So if you want to become a muslim, Yes you WILL have hardships in this life & the AFTERLIFE. The Muslim teachings is false & out of the pit of hell.

It is not what you endure in this life that counts, it is what you give out to others. Respect and love others, be truthful and sincere in all your dealings with your fellow man and you cannot go wrong.
Remember to never take your good fortune for granted though, because if you do, then you will start taking others for granted too, then you fail.
It is often harder to be blessed with good things, yet still have empathy for those less fortunate, than it is for those used to hardship, to be able to love those who are also poor. The poor know how tough life is and can sympathise, the rich man with a life of ease will find this harder, so fear not; you are still being tested.
I don't have much in the way of money and seem to be tested by hardship and ill luck daily; yet I am the richest man in the world, for I have lots of love around me; and it's love that counts.
Hope this helps you get perspective.
Love and light

U must really be lucky to have this blessing in the whole world.For Ive never met some one who has no problem. U are lucky person and why do u want to become a Muslim? - is it to invite problems? U must be out of ur mind.
To succeed in next life who said you must endure hardship? OK ,if i assume to accept it, It means u must have endured a lot of hardships in ur previous life! So this life is ur recompense! Enjoy and be happy with ur loved ones.

Has God asked you to surrender to his will? Do you know it was Allah? Why Islam? Islam means surrender to the will of God. It also means love (?) Very convenient to excuse anything you do as the will of God. Do you need to surrender or are you looking for a way to thankful for your life now in which case you don't need any particular religion. Maybe, if you are called specifically to supplicate before Allah, it is preparation for hardships ahead in you life. Every thing's fine now. Tomorrow you find a lump...religion should be banned in my opinion, it is a form of mental illness. Religion causes more deaths and suffering than any disease. Don't join any religion. There are the result of an over productive part of the brain which was originally there so that we could conceive of a predator much larger than us. Scientist can activate this part of the brain in people who then have a feeling that there must be something greater than us. Well there isn't. You're born, you live, you die. We are just animals cursed with a brain much larger than we can actually put to good use. Don't join any religion.

i think that you are asking about the conversion effect on your life which is full of blessing and love OK
you are thinking right but your next life will be full of love between you and god and you will be more responsible person because you must be good example for Muslims
but on the other hand think about the great feeling of loving Allah and you will work and live and treating people just to feel that Allah loves you more and more
think about the few things that Muslim feel
do you remember the first time you read the holy Quraan
do you remember the feeling that you felt ?????? this feeling will be your feeling in your daily life
a great feeling when you will be fasting in Ramadan month
James i am a Muslim and i want you to write to me if you need anything about Islam i am in Egypt and i can get you translated books about Islam
may god bless you, peace upon you brother

my honest opinion is that you should look into the non-denominational christian religion.
all your blessings, the kind people in your life, your job, good luck comes from only 1 place.
that's from god. there's only `1 god ever created. that jesus christ's father.
the 1 & only god that's up in heaven.
he's your provider, your 1 & only provider. what ever you have no in life comes from god.
if you have a blessed & loving family? you're truly lucky & blessed. alot of us in the world aren't as lucky & blessed as you. we come from broken homes, disfunctional families, single parent families. i count that a true blessing to have a family like yours. you're also blessed if u have good friends also.
how much more can u ask for. the muslim religion-can it take u to heaven? to have eternal life? in the holy bible it states under the 10 commandments: thou shalt have NO other GODS b/4 me. thou shalt not worship ANY graven images nor idols,nor man made idols.
i know there's so many different religions in the world & some are so confusing but actually it's not the religion that's impt. it's your personal relationship with god. the 1 god that exists up in heaven.
good luck & god bless u.
if u read the holy bible, try & understand it: it will surely show u the truth on where your blessings come from. god can surely use u in the kingdom of god. for HIS glory. he chooses us, we don't choose god.
remember: there's only 1 way to enter into the kingdom of heaven. it's thru god's son, his only son Jesus christ.
read JOhn 3:16 in the bible.

Follow your heart and see where it takes you... the surprising thing is that amongst all thats going on about Muslims in the news how is it that you want to become a Muslim?? It's good.... Islam is a simple religion about logic and peace.... Islam teaches simple thing like for one to remove harmful objects off the road for others... Or like if your borrowing money from someone it tells you to have two trustworthy witnesses in order to avoid bickering and arguments in future..... Here's a good website for you

I don't believe for one minute that you MUST suffer hardship in this life,this is the only life we can be absolutely sure of,so you have a duty to yourself to make the best of it.If you feel the Muslim religion is for you,then by all means go for it.Good luck.Btw.I'm Atheist.

Well praise God, its good to hear!
Jesus said
"I am the way, the truth and the life, no one comes to the Father except through me"
He is the way, (not religion for there are many), but a personal encounter with Him is what you need.
He is lover of your soul, he paid a high price for your salvation, his very own blood. There is power in the blood of Christ alone that places you in right standing with the living God.
He also said" take my yoke upon you, and learn of me, for I am meek and lowly in heart and ye shall find rest for YOUR soul.
Matt11:29
Your suffering is His yoke, which is easy and His burden is light.
When you die and step into Eternity, it wont be your sin that will be the issue, but what you done with Christ, the Son of the living God.For it is His blood which cleanseth you from all sin.
He is alive, only believe!
Take care.

The Creator allows us to grow through struggle. Whatever you heard about success in the next life is up to God. I could live an impeccable life and then die and go to hell.
What is your intention behind what you do? You'll be questioned according to your intention not your action or outcome of that action.
Having a good life is not a crime, its a gift. Treasure it.
Make use of your health before your sickness.
Your youth before your old age.
Your wealth before your poverty.
And your life before your death.
Salaam
