I reverted to Islam about 7 month ago.. I'm very young... 14 to be exact. what got me so interested in Islam is the movie "united 93" which is about 9/11.
i will admit that after seeing that movie i cried and felt angered towards Muslims.. i brought the movie on DVD and watched it again. i saw how different and unique they prayed, i never saw anyone pray like that before. i started to talk to Muslims and my opinion of them changed 180 degress. they were so nice and friendly.
so then i developed a good relationship with a Muslim and told him about my situation at home. he told me to just pray for one week straight to Allah and he guarantees something good will happen. i took the chance and Allah did answer my prayer. i was so shocked..years of being catholic and after all the times i prayed, my life seemed to get worse.
when i was catholic, i never had a direct relationship with God since theres always a middle man. and I definitely don't like confessing to Priest my sins since everything should be only between you and God. my mom left her loser abusive boyfriend.. it started from there and she treated me with respect, which i hardly got from her. i studied more and more about Islam and it answered a lot of my questions. being catholic before, i was always confused.
i took the Shahada around 3 am of the morning..!! seriously it was snowing in my city and i couldn't sleep, so i stayed up, went on my computer for a while, then i said IM READY!! whats there to loose? i know i'm gonna be 100% sure Islam is the religion of truth in my beliefs soon, so i took it in my home, Allah being my witness. I got this overwhelming joy a born Muslim cannot get.. it was the best decision i ever made.
looking back, i felt so ashamed judging over a billion Muslims since the Media brainwashes Americans thinking all Muslims are the enemy, when the fact of the matter is the majority are good people who oppose terrorism. Being Muslim motivates me more to achieve my goals, (i.e. i always lacked grades, doing homework) now i know how to live a good life without doing terrible things that can screw my life up. im the only one in my family who doesn't drink or smoke.. ill probably also be the first to go to college and i plan to keep it like that =] some days i find myself crying while praying to Allah thanking him for everything and to thanking him for helping me every day. i have so much more confidence in myself and i actually feel great when i wake up because i know what my purpose in life is. i thank Allah for guiding me to the right path at such an early age.You take care of yourself. Peace be upon you.

I'm actually in the middle of potentially becoming a revert. Like lost girl said above me, christianity just doesn't answer some questions that I really have about religion. Islam does. I want to be 100 percent sure that I'm ready to make changes. I'm still studying. Pray for me.

Well, it wasn't *that* recent... 6 year ago actually.
Well, I had been studying Islam for a while and was really feeling it. I mean I really felt like it was the right path for me, but I just needed that final nudge to become Muslim. I wanted to be 100% sure that I was ready for the changes it would make in my life.
My friend had invited me to come with her to the mosque the next Friday, and I was so so excited that she did that. I sewed up a slit in my longest skirt, ironed my long-sleeve blouse, and borrowed a hijab from my friend (which I awkwardly put on in her minivan on the way there, lol). It was a little strange at first because there were no pews, there were tons of women in beautifully modest clothes--women of all colors and backgrounds, and there seemed to be this happy, pleasant mood throughout the entire mosque. I listened to the Imam trying to take in all the info he gave (which was a really beautiful sermon). When it was finally time to pray, I stood off to the side so I wouldn't be in the way and watched. It was the most beautiful thing I had seen in a place of worship. Here everyone was in unison, tons of people as one single believer, bowing and praising God, and the sound of the Quran truly touched my heart. I started to get teary even, but I suppressed it cuz I absolutely hate crying in public, lol! Later that night while having dinner with her family and after taking some time to reflect, I announced to her I wanted to become Muslim, and she helped me to make Shahadah...
"Ash-hadu ana la ilaha illa Allah, wa ash-hadu ana Muhammad rasul Allah."
"There is no god but God, and Muhammad is the Messenger of God."
Alhamdulillah.

I reverted to Islam 1 year ago. I did it because I believed that ALLAH(SWT) was the only God and that Muhammad(PBUH*) was his slave and messenger. I also didn't like a lot of things about Christianity and Islam answered most of my questions so I reverted more on a whim then anything else.

salaam,
I haven't reverted yet. i'm still trying to figure that one out! christianity, is ok, to me except theyre bible is to me, a bit on the akward side. there are plenty of questions left unaswered and it just doesn't seem right! the quaran is the only holy book, that actually stayed in its original language and didn't get messed up by humans, and i believe with my heart that allah is the one god and no one should be associated with him. i kno this is a sucky answer, buy i'm in the middle of something, but still wanted to reply!!!!
