    Thank you for the link Wakas. It was very informative. I have also been watching several videos recently by Abdur Raheem Green. Learning about Islam feels as though I were breathing fresh air for the first time.

    Salam Layth, Ok now I understand, thank you. I realized i made some mistakes, some are not important for the understanding but I have to correct this one; (admitted either but by some "sunni" muslims and the muslims who base their belief on Al quran alone).

    Peace sister. My post was general. There was no intention towards you. I apologise if I hurt your feeling without intending to do so. Of course I take you as genuine and sincere in your search for like minded people. I also take you as a sister with a common aim of seeking GOD Alone. GOD bless you. Peace.

    I'm a Muslim who has been lost looking for God my whole life. I fell into Sunni, Shia circles and was getting so confused. I prayed to God for guidance and I believe that he lead me to this path to submit to him only. If anyone wants to know more feel free to message me but I'm looking forward to interacting with you all. The confusion is a good sign and it's embedded in the grand design of things, there is something called the "Law Of Confusion". Confusion only happened to those who think and ponder. Confusion shall act as a catalyst to trigger the action of asking for guidance. And once asked.... then definitely you shall receive. And then you shall realize that God is not far away thus you need to 'seek' Him out. God is always with and within you all this time. You are seeking Him out on the wrong places, looking for Him in the wrong direction, it's not out, it's actually in, seeking in. Also, by nature humans like their own logic, all of us, we fall into a trap sometimes that we have the "truth" and our logic is sound. I have found this to be far away from the truth. I'm glad that you have find your own moment of revelation by yourselves.

    Peace and welcome to the forum! Just listening to your Quran recitation. Perfectly calm, but powerful and not too fast.

    Salam sister BelieverAni, Nice and interesting story! Were you born in christian family? The reason I ask this is because you mention you started out with studying the Bible. What is your turning point to studying Quran now? Would you mind sharing a bit more on your near death experience? Wassalam, Ade

    Peace be upon all of you, If anyone has any time over, can you lend me an ear and send me a pm. I have asked God to bring me into the company of those who submit to Him. And you can only do this if He wills it. All good is from God and all evil is from ourselves.

    God talk to each of us directly. Yet the actual means of communication varies... as there are zillion means of communication. And He controls everything. One thing for sure God was, is and will talk to you through your conscience... rely on it. So true, when I was in the hospital begging God to restore my body to what it was I got the sensation that if that would happen I would just go back to my old ways, and after that I said "Thats not good enough!" Realizing that it was disrespectful to shun what I got as an answer I just said "Forgive me" and each time I said it I got serious shivers down my back. Peace be upon you!

    Salam keno, If you are indeed hearing a divine voice it should be telling you to do more charity work, be kinds to people (even those that anger or hurt you), care for the orphan kids around you, stand up to modern day injustices induced by capitalism, corporate slavery, forsake idols such as money, give up human desires for material things. If the voice is telling you to jump off a roof it is not God. God WANTS us to LIVE and SERVE Him by doing the things mentioned. That way when we meet Him we will have a lifetime of deeds to show Him. Thanks! I don't give that period of my life much thought anymore, it has been over 4 years now. Whats kind of funny is that there was no voice commanding me to do anything when I was standing on top of the roof. It was purely my own conviction that the things I had been doing up to that point where "right". When I was standing there I thought to myself "What am I doing up here?!" and then I felt an urge to jump and convinced myself that when I jump I would be catched by angels. When I was in the air I understood, I just understood. Boom! Blackness...nothingness and suddenly light and clear sight. No pain, just a paramedic asking me my name and my date of birth. Then drowsiness and blurred vision. I was convinced that I was on my way to hell, but 8 months later I was back on my feet. What sometimes worries me, and makes me lose scope of both myself and Gods word is that I think that I had my one chance, and now I just live in order to accumulate sin, but as I write that it just sounds delusional. And I may be delusional sometimes, but as stated in the OP, God has led me to draw this conclusion about our doctrine and I am slowly learning. I can become very impatient with both myself and God from time to time, but I try to keep a cool head. God willing I will try to stay active on this forum to both aid myself and others. Next Wednesday I'm going with my brother (who does not believe in God, or at least that is what he says) to a place where people with mental problems, injuries and those willing to learn and reflect upon what life can actually be like for some, meet and make food, play games, participate in activities etc etc God willing I will find some solace there and be an inspiration for others in the same sphere of life that I am in. Peace brother. Keno
