Converts / Reverts

Make Allah as your priority and you will never be last ❤️🙏🏻

Any Scottish convert / reverts? in the place? Come on you know is Scot’s are always better at social friendships than our wee pals across the southern border 😎

I tried saying “Awrite Bigg’yin!” to someone on the Elizabeth Line of the London Underground a couple years back. The chap thought I was having a seizure lol 🤣 anyhow she good to connect with my own clansman 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Since last October I tried Muslim marriage events in south/West Yorkshire, east/west Midlands; met some lovely Asian brothers but there were circumstances such as no compatibility in regards to where we’re in our lives or them having young children, or due to the long distance or having a huge age gap at either side etc; no chances. I also met some weirdos who wanted to have non halal relationships (kisses, hugs, secret niqah; none given), some requested going for 50:50 but no nikah registration; I am back to square one. See below + my marriage profile for more:

As-Salam Alyikm, are there any reverts in the US, preferably a southern state, who are still have trouble looking for a spouse? I have been searching for a while and haven't been able to find anyone. It seems most born Muslims prefer to marry their daughters to other born Muslims. Seems marrying another Revert is my best option but I live in a small community with not many reverts. If anyone is interested in getting to know one another for marriage please let me know.

To my fellow reverts, especially those who left Christianity because you realized that much of what Christians believe cannot actually be found in the Bible itself:

Please apply that same standard to Islam.

If you rejected Christianity because doctrines were being established through traditions, church teachings, and writings outside the Bible, ask yourself why you would then become Sunni and accept religious beliefs, laws, and practices based on hadith collections that are not the Quran.

And there’s something else we should seriously think about.

The Quran repeatedly warns us about the Ahlul Kitab—about people taking religious authorities besides Allah, concealing or altering revelation, and following traditions that were not commanded by Allah. Then there is a well-known hadith in the Sunni tradition saying that this ummah will follow the footsteps of those who came before them, even to the point of following them into a lizard’s hole.

So ask yourself: Could one of the things we were warned about be repeating the same pattern—turning later religious traditions into authorities alongside the Book of Allah?

You didn’t leave Christianity just to replace one set of extra-scriptural authorities with another.

The Quran describes itself as fully detailed, an explanation of all things, and says that nothing has been neglected in the Book. So ask the simple question:

Is what I believe actually established by Allah’s Book, or am I accepting it because a later tradition told me it is part of the religion?

Don’t be afraid to examine the foundation of what you were taught. If the Quran is truly Allah’s revelation, then it should be the standard by which everything else is judged.

YA ALLAH, WHEN MY BONES ARE LYING BENEATH THE SOIL, WHEN MY NAME IS NO LONGER SPOKEN AS OFTEN AS IT ONCE WAS, AND WHEN THIS WORLD HAS MOVED ON WITHOUT ME, DO NOT LET ME BE WITHOUT THOSE WHO REMEMBER ME IN THEIR DUAS.

There will come a day when we will leave behind our homes, our families, our wealth, our possessions, and everything we spent our lives collecting. We will be placed beneath the earth, and our deeds will be what remain with us.

The Prophet ﷺ taught us that when a person dies, his deeds come to an end except for three: ongoing charity, beneficial knowledge, or a righteous child who supplicates for him.

Sahih Muslim 1631

This is why a sincere dua for someone who has passed away is not something small. It is a beautiful gift from the living to the dead.

Allah Himself teaches the believers to pray:

“Our Lord, forgive us and our brothers who preceded us in faith.”

Qur’an 59:10

So when you remember someone who has passed away, make dua for them.

Ask Allah to forgive their sins, have mercy upon them, illuminate their grave, widen their resting place, raise their rank, and admit them into Jannah.

And perhaps one day, we will be the ones beneath the soil.

Perhaps our photographs will become old.
Perhaps our belongings will be distributed.
Perhaps our voices will no longer be heard.
Perhaps many people will eventually move on with their lives.

But may Allah leave behind righteous hearts that still remember us in their duas.

YA ALLAH, forgive us when we are alive, forgive us when we die, and forgive us when we are beneath the earth.

Make us among those whose good deeds continue after death, and bless us with righteous people who sincerely pray for us.

Ameen.

So many colourful and beautiful Kimono flower design Abayas 🥰🇯🇵👘

Why have most women stopped trusting men?

In the 70s only 10% of people over the age of 30 were unmarried but today the situation is completely different 😐😐

💔 Sometimes, we feel an emptiness in our hearts, a deep need to recharge and reconnect with Allah. We perform prayers, read the Quran, do zikr, but despite these efforts, sometimes this feeling persists. What can help us recharge is this soothing atmosphere where we meet with others, where we share reminders, where we read the words of Allah together and where we encourage each other in faith. 🥰

But it can happen that those close to us do not share this same quest. We then experience a spiritual solitude 💔 sometimes accentuated by the gap between what we hope for and what we experience on a daily basis.

But it is important not to lose courage. Everyone has their own pace, and sometimes, patience and the example we give can inspire those around us.

So we remember that, even in these moments of solitude, Allah is always close to the one who invokes Him. We continue to call upon Him, to seek ways to recharge our batteries, whether in scientific meetings, reminder circles, or even through benevolent exchanges... The path can be trying, but each step towards Allah is a step towards the light. 🫶🏼❤️💕🌹
