Converts / Reverts

Each of us has a affliction,

But may God condemn us a weapon with which we can overcome any affliction... Ask for forgiveness.

God Almighty said:

“I said, Ask your Lord for forgiveness. Indeed, He is Forgiving. He sends the sky to you.”Our master Yunus, while in the belly of the whale, said:

“There is no god but You, glory be to You, I was one of the wrongdoers”

We saved him, because he was busy with his Lord, not with misfortune.

Asking for forgiveness and praying is not just words, these are keys to change your whole life. 🤍

I am non muslim, although I believe in Allah

I’m incapable of knowing everything with certainty. Believe me, I’ve tried. It always ends with tawakkul.
Afterwards, I thought, I don’t need to know everything. I just need enough.

You.
I don’t want to know anymore.
Your uniqueness lies in your fingerprints, your ways of thinking, your preferences.
Your soul.
And if it’s possible to know you,
I’ll spend the rest of my life exploring.

As a new revert ,it can really be lonely but Alhamdullilah I am trying my best not to revert. Life just keeps testing you in ways you never knew .

No matter what life is like, be grateful for every blessing Allah has given you. 🌸🤍

— Alhamdulillah! 🫀✨

السلام عليكم ورحمة الله وبركاته, fellow reverts/converts!

Insha Allah, you are all doing well.

I am writing this to share some perspectives on how we can live the life we want as Muslims without burning bridges or alienating ourselves from other Muslims, whether they were born into Islam or converted/reverted.

I was recently talking to a potential spouse who is also a revert. Granted, he is newer to the deen, but I thought that, as someone who wasn’t born into the deen, he might be more likely to understand my journey.

During our conversations, he blocked me twice.

The first time was because he didn’t like that I asked him a simple question: What are the characteristics you are looking for in a spouse?

He eventually came back and admitted that he didn’t know why he had blocked me in the first place.

No big deal. We are human, and miscommunication happens. No harm, no foul.

The second time, we were talking, and I mentioned that I would finish my laundry, pray Isha, and get ready for bed.

That simple statement sent him into a frenzy. He accused me of delaying my prayers for something as silly as laundry and suggested that this was why things weren’t going my way.

For anyone who is new to Islam and might not know this, each obligatory prayer has an allotted time within which it can be performed. Yes, it is generally better to pray earlier rather than delay unnecessarily. However, praying later within the prescribed time does not automatically invalidate the prayer.

There are legitimate reasons why someone might need to delay praying for a little while, such as being somewhere unsafe or dealing with circumstances that prevent them from praying immediately.

Allah has not made this deen as difficult as we sometimes make it for ourselves and others.

Please don’t make religion unnecessarily difficult for yourself or for others.

Unfortunately, I personally know reverts who made unnecessary sacrifices in the name of Islam, such as changing perfectly fine names, abandoning their families, or moving to other countries. Some of them eventually grew to resent the deen, returned to their previous non-Muslim lifestyles, and left Islam altogether.

This is heartbreaking, because Islam should not be presented as a choice between embracing the deen and unnecessarily destroying every other part of your life.

Of course, there are situations where sacrifices are necessary, and every person’s circumstances are different. But we should be careful not to turn personal preferences, cultural expectations, or our own interpretations into religious obligations.

Islam is a religion of balance. Learn your deen, practise it with sincerity, and give yourself and others room to grow. Lead with knowledge, wisdom, and compassion rather than harshness and unnecessary judgment.

May Allah make the deen easy for us, increase us in beneficial knowledge, and keep our hearts firm upon Islam. Ameen.
