Converts / Reverts

Assalamu alaykum
My question for the revert sisters, how did you get convinced by islam shari'a especially when it comes to the rules that may look a little bit hard on women in islam?

Assalamu Alaikum 🤍

I’m someone who is on a beautiful journey of discovering Islam and deepening my faith. I was raised in a Christian home, and while I respect the faith I grew up with, I’ve never felt as deeply connected to those roots as I do to what I’ve been discovering through Islam.

Over time, I’ve spent countless hours watching lectures and videos, reading, learning, and trying to understand Islam on a deeper level. Something about this faith has touched my heart in a way I can’t quite put into words. I haven’t taken my Shahada yet, but it is something I deeply long for and hope to do when the time feels right.

I’m hoping to meet kind, genuine Muslim women who are willing to share their faith, friendship, experiences, and perspective with me. I would love to build friendships with women who can help me grow closer to Allah, learn more about Islam, and experience the beauty of sisterhood.

I’m still learning and have so much to discover, but my heart is open. 🤍

Hey

I'm sure someone else already ate the fruit of my patience. 😭😂

📜 The Four Recognized Schools (Madhahib) of Islamic Jurisprudence

These are the four major Sunni schools of Fiqh — all accept Quran & Sunnah as foundation; differ only in methodology of interpretation, not core faith .

1. -🕌 Hanafi — Imam Abu Hanifa (d. 767 CE)

• -Oldest, most widely followed school
  ​
• -Origin: Kufa, Iraq
  ​
• -Key: Emphasizes reason, analogy (qiyas), juristic preference (istihsan) — flexible & adaptable
  ​
• -Followed in: Turkey, Central Asia, South Asia (Pakistan, India, Bangladesh), Balkans

2. -🕌 Maliki — Imam Malik ibn Anas (d. 795 CE)

• -Origin: Madinah, Saudi Arabia
  ​
• -Key: Emphasizes practice of the people of Madinah as living Sunnah; also considers public interest (maslaha)
  ​
• -Followed in: North & West Africa, parts of Gulf

3. -🕌 Shafi'i — Imam al-Shafi'i (d. 820 CE)

• -Origin: Makkah/Madinah → settled in Egypt
  ​
• -Key: Systematized Usul al-Fiqh (legal theory); balanced approach — equal weight to Quran, Sunnah, consensus, analogy
  ​
• -Followed in: Southeast Asia (Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia), East Africa, Yemen

4. -🕌 Hanbali — Imam Ahmad ibn Hanbal (d. 855 CE)

• -Origin: Baghdad, Iraq
  ​

  ​
• -Followed in: Saudi Arabia, Qatar, parts of Gulf

🕊️ Important Truth

• -All four are valid & recognized — they respect one another
  ​
• -Differences are in method & interpretation, not core Islam
  ​
• -All share: same Quran, same Prophet ﷺ, same fundamentals of faith
