Allah found me lost and guided me subhanAllah. It’s why I always say Alhamdulillah for anything. Because I can lose everything…but I pray that at the very least ya Rabb allow me to keep my deen. So long as I have that, there is nothing I can’t overcome. It’s the greatest blessing we have. Being Muslim has taught me so much. To submit and leave it all in the hands of the Best of Planners. To humble ourselves with all our shortcomings before the Most Powerful and Most Perfect. To be kind to others, genuinely kind. To always give generously to others because what we give will always come back to us tenfold. To be Muslim, is to have such conviction that Allah will guide me to that which is best for me, and protect me from that which is not meant for me. To be Muslim is to truly believe Allah will provide for us even from places we would’ve never imagined to be provided from. And the last thing I’ll say, to be Muslim means to be apart of the greatest family in this existence. SubhanAllah. And what a beautiful family it is. With its many colors, languages, traditions. The Ummah of our Prophet, may peace and blessings be upon him, is an amanah to us all. May Allah protect us from taking it for granted and remember to say Alhamdulillah today for being able to call yourself a Muslim.

16 years ago today I stepped into a mosque in east London with a good friend and read the shahadah. I was wearing pull over hijab he had just brought me in Green Street and I didn’t even know that men and women didn’t pray together! I had made a pray when he went into pray to be able to become a muslim that day , and he came out and said we could go it together if I wanted! The brother who I was with wasn’t a sheikh or an imam he was actually a rapper , that had come from a lifestyle of streets and violence (which I wasn’t aware of) and it was his character and love for Allah that made me want to know more! He never quoted me Hadith and threatened me with the punishment of Allah , but he did tell me about the religion and I just wanted to know more! 16 years ago my life changed and grateful to Allah and to the two brothers that took the time to explain things to me even though they were in the depth as of their own journeys.. Alhumdulilah! #muslimtherapist #revertmuslim …
