Allah ye7fazek

Answer 2

As salaam alaikum.

One sincere word of advice for any new revert to Islam. Have patience and your faith will grow.

When I reverted to Islam, I read a lot and asked a lot and debated a lot of the 'different' ways to how I had been raised and conditioned to accept so much that is haram.

It took a little while for me to truly say that I could really feel my faith. In the first stages, I could only try to understand what muslims considered to be the faith they could feel and how beautiful it felt.

Oneday, I could feel my faith inside me and it was like the penny had finally dropped and I felt at one with all the knowledge I had been acquiring in those first few months.

Patience is the key for any new revert to Islam.

Inshallah.

Answer 3

- Apply what you have already learned that will be a great start.

- Increase your knowledge about Islam by time and try to visit the Islamic centers and communities in your area or the closest to you.

-Be ready to answer many non-Muslims from your nationality who will ask you why and how did you find your way to Islam.

-Establish contacts with many Muslims around the world through the Internet , they will be very happy and it's their duty to support you, provide the advice and assist in anyway they can because they will consider you as their sister.

-Feel confident about this turning point in your life, it is to the better insha' Allah, Islam will let you see yourself and the life in a different way and will see the real meanings and values for all what you think about.

- Me, my brothers and sisters here will be the first to have the honor of being your brothers, sisters and your big family. Please let us know when you need anything and in our turn we shall be in touch with you to ensure that you are satisfied and happy.

Answer 5

Congratulations! Alhamdulillah (thank god) and Insah Allah (godwisdom), ur decision is trully and surely a good guidance and manifestation that Allah the most high and superior, had given u wisdom to be part of prophet's Ummah and to lead u to right path of ur whole life, true happiness and salvation here and hereafter. pls be guided that in reverting to islam, u dont need to ask "any conditions" just to comply with ur own satisfaction in this most temptating world. brother/sister, GO ON . . .

Answer 6

Dont listen to criticism and negative feedbacks of your family members, friends and relatives. You have choose your new way of life and you must stand to it. Forget about all things of the past belief and concentrate on knowing the teachings of Islam through the Qur-an and the hadiths, and practice what you learned. Seek assistance from Allah to guide you more and seek refuge to those who would want to pull you back. Ask question to the one more knowledgeable and learn how to pray and practice it. It will take time to perfect it but doing it regularly will make it little by little improving up to perfection.

Answer 7

It would be to Surround yourself with other Muslims. You can learn from them, see how they interact with each other, ask questions, anything.
I know that you said one, but if you question something, don't just do it once, do it over and over to different people, We are not all scholars, so if somebody tries to explain something to you, he/she might not do so fully, never be left in the dark, this is your Religion, understand it, enjoy it! If you find something on the net that just doesn't seem correct, again, get a second, third, fourth answer, there are many "Islamic" sites that look all good but they are hateful and spread lies.

Answer 8

Is a "revert" someone who returns to Islam?

If so, I doubt I'd give advice. I'd listen to the story of why they returned. Was it for nostalgia or to please someone or was it for a more spiritual reason. I'd ask why they believe in the Koran and the teachings of this religion. I'd be interested to hear about what type of Islam this revert adheres to and why.Throughout the dialog, I'd share my faith story.

Answer 9

first congrates for whomever reverted to islam,may Allah bless her/him,and she/he shall start a new pure life inshallah.

my advices would be:
1]never look back at your past life,moreover feel that you're lucky as you became like a newly born baby,no sins at all,and know that being a non-muslim b4 doesn't make u less than a born muslim but it makes you in higher rank.

2]to take it slowly,try with the basics of islam,and learn everything in time,start with the obligations and they will lead you to the other,rushing into things would be overwhelming.

3]try to ask as much as you can,it's better to ask your mousque's imam or trustful scholars to lead you to the right way.

4]tolerate whomever tries to make you feel down,as it's from the things that u learn as a muslim, to be patient,and to expect abusing,or stupid questions(and it also depends where u live),so that leads us back to no. [3].

5]maybe the shaytan will try to make you look back at your past life,and make u feel that u miss so and so and so....so always always ask Allah for stenghth.and remember that inshallah you bought your ticket to heaven,try not to lose it,and buy entinty of heaven by a few yrs of life.

6]don't change,be youself,the old funny you,and go out and enjoy life,because islam doesn't mean to stay at home gloomy and doing nothing,it's about enjoying life without doing forbidden things till you reach heaven inshallah.

7]last but not least,marrying a pious muslim/muslima..will really help you with ur obligations and it will make you both grew up spiritually together and encouraging each other to eb better and stepping closer to Allah.and you'd catch each other if_God forbid_someone's fall....if marriage is not possible then a true friendship would do it.

may Allah protect all reverts of islam,and bless them with his mercy

Answer 10

Asalam alaikum, the one peice of advice i would give is "focus on the religion, not the muslims" meaning that stick with the religion and try not to get too upset about all the ignorant, foolish things u will see individual muslims do...when i became a muslim, i was and am still soooo disappointed in the behaviour of so called muslims....it can be a real test of your strength...when u know that this and that is wrong but u see it everywhere u go....there was a man who once said "thank GOD i became a muslim before i know any of them" and remember its the perfect religion practiced by imperfect people....take care, salaams

Answer 11

Be strong against whatever you hear, some people are not very good fans of Islam, always look for the truth and don't hesitate asking a scholar about anything you're not feeling okay with.
