God truly blessed me
-
Salam everyone.
My story is not as interesting as everyone else's. I am currently 16 years old, but I have been a God alone submitter for many years now. Both my paternal and maternal relatives are practicing traditional Muslims.
I am often told I am the younger version of my mother, so not surprisingly, she and I went through many of the same experiences. As a child, much like my mother, I pondered the reasoning and validity of many of the hadiths and sunnas that could not make sense to me. I also made many attempts to learn Arabic, and became frustrated after the failures, because it seemed essential to learn.
Then, after many long years of searching, my mother stumbled upon a translation of the Quran (translated by Rashad Khalifa) from the local library. God guided her to the truth, and a lot of her questions were answered. Upon this discovery, excitement consumed her, so she spent more time researching the topic to see what else she could find out. God guided her to God alone sites.
My mother tried to introduce some ideas to me and my two siblings , but it seems only I was intrigued and wanted to know more (I was probably around 12, my sister was approximately 11, and my brother was most likely 16 at the time). That is when I first learned the truth, and started to frequent God alone websites. I too was fascinated, much like my mother, and a lot of my questions left unanswered were more than sufficiently answered (God's gift).
It became evident to me at this time that this is the only way of life that made sense to me. God truly has blessed me and my mother and guided us to the truth. We hope (God willing) that the rest of our family will be guided as well.
God bless.
