How I discovered God alone!
-
Amazing! During my 13th year of age I was hating and being continuously suspicious of the jews and christians, I always think that they will surely go to hell! Thanks to the 'straight path' teaching of fanatic sectarian and religious Suniism during my upbringing. Not until I reach my mid 20 that I started to do 'critical thinking' of my own belief.
And these line of thinking below is the one which really 'awake' me..
- Heaven is only for Muslim, other than that they will surely go to hell.
- In order to became Muslim you have to recite the Shahada.
- The shahada contains "I witness that Muhammad Is Messenger Of God"
- There's no way and seems awkward for Muhammad himself to recite I witness that I am a messenger of God.
- There's 0% probability that past prophets (Moses, Abraham, Jesus etc) will say "I witness that Muhammad Is Messenger Of God" since Muhammad is not even borned yet during their lifetime.
- If that's the case then Moses, Abraham, Jesus and even Muhammad himself is not a Muslim as they're not reciting the Shahada properly.
- Moses, Abraham, Jesus and Muhammad will surely go to Hell.... or.... something is not correct here about the shahada.
From 'the shahada', I found other kinds of foolishness within my own belief.. and that really awake me..
Thanks to God, He really shows you the straight path much earlier than mine...

Well, I never really had a faith. My mother believes in God but didn't want us to grow up in a religious family because she had that when she was younger however I have always had a strong belief in God.
Thankfully, she is fine with me converting. She sees the good changes in me and she sees how happy I've become. I don't think a lot young people who have converted from other faiths have been so lucky.

Why did you convert?

Why did you convert?
Well, actually I went to church with my Auntie from the age of 8. It's your typical "Black-led" pentecostal church and I used to be convinced that there was a God because everyone would be "getting into the Spirit." Also the fact that at the end of every Sunday, the preacher would say those who didn't come to the front and pray for forgiveness would be doomed to Hell forever- and we didn't know if we'd wake up the next day, did we? At Sunday school they would go in extreme detail of what they thought Hell was like. Enough to scare an 8 year old I think.
In the end it was my father who converted to Islam, following the Qu'ran Alone. My parents are seperated but he used to come and talk to me and my brother (who's on this forum as well) about it. I never used to listen but one day he gave me a Qu'ran and I thought Why not?
It really opened my eyes and I immediately felt a connection with God, one I didn't feel when I was at church because I was just going through the motions. Eventually I started to doubt the "Christianity" preached at my church and left, accepting Islam, thanks be to God. My mother was accepting as I said, the rest of my family don't actually know I'm a Muslim now, though they have a feeling I think. But they'll believe I've been brainwashed by my father. I'm actually waiting for the day when I'll wake up and find myself at the front of the church being prayed over...
I think I posted my story last year when I first joined Free-minds... but I haven't been on recently due to exams etc. But it's nice to meet you all again
