"Say, 'O My servants who have transgressed against themselves [by sinning], do not despair of the mercy of Allah. Indeed, Allah forgives all sins. Indeed, it is He who is the Forgiving, the Merciful.'"— Surah Az-Zumar (39:53)
"And whoever holds firmly to Allah has indeed been guided to a straight path."— Surah Ali 'Imran (3:101)

As a new revert ,I think I have put enormous pressure on myself trying to learn and do everything to please Allah . It back fired as I am now feeling overwhelmed and disappointed in myself . Fro example, my first language is English so I am finding hard to learn the prayer. I use my phone but because I don't know the meaning , I feel like it is not valid . I am a single mother with no family in the UK or close friends . Please pray that Allah brings me closer to him and I don't give up. Sometimes my old life seemed a bit easier when I did not have to do all of this. Did I revert too quickly ? Should I have done a bit more work before jumping in ? Sorry for the long post but needed to express myself .
I was blessed to be born a Muslim but I am always amazed by the courage of reverts and how even though they might face conflicts with their family friends or loved ones they stick to Islam and hope that soon their loved ones would understand
If anyone wants to share the story of how wrhey reverted would be happy to listen
Today is a great day. Pretty soon I am going to get ready for Jummah!
Allah! Make this day be the best day ever!
Asalem Alaikum! I am happy that Allah woke me up today, and yes, I did Fajr before I went back to sleep this morning. I am happy that Allah is making me better every day. Thank you so much, Allah! I love you!!!
