Faith




When your Faith is new is a little like the toddler’s first footsteps.
You hold on to the furniture, the hand of the loving parent and you take your first uncertain baby steps.
The more you practice , the more strength and confidence you gain.
You become a confident walker who in time offers his hand in support to others.
Work on your faith, even if your first moves are uncertain and wobbly.
Keep on practising every day.
See the change in the baby steps.
They will become Big Strides in the Right Direction.
Don’t forget to ask....
1:1
In the name of Allah, the Entirely Merciful, the Especially Merciful.
بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم
1:2
[All] praise is [due] to Allah, Lord of the worlds -
الحمد لله رب العالمين
1:3
The Entirely Merciful, the Especially Merciful,
الرحمن الرحيم
1:4
Sovereign of the Day of Recompense.
مالك يوم الدين
1:5
It is You we worship and You we ask for help.
إياك نعبد وإياك نستعين
1:6
Guide us to the straight path -
اهدنا الصراط المستقيم
1:7
The path of those upon whom You have bestowed favor, not of those who have evoked [Your] anger or of those who are astray.
صراط الذين أنعمت عليهم غير المغضوب عليهم ولا الضالين

Between two worlds

Asalamu Alaykum to all and jazakallah for visiting :)

Before I write this post I would like to say that " I am pleased with ALLAH as my Lord, Islam as my Religion, and Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) as my Prophet.

Since accepting Islam, Alhamdulillah , I have made out there a wonderful new family and friends, my brothers and sisters in Islam.

I am grateful and appreciative to every and single one of you/them who have helped me to develop in the Only Truth Faith of Islam.

I am grateful for the support  we show each other for keeping On the Straight Path.

It is only sometimes that I allow myself to look back and miss those who are no longer part of my  new life.

The heart grieves for those who no longer  share the  dreams, and the aims that will bring us to the same destination, and keep us close to Allah, The Exalted.

I have nor regrets whatsoever in my new faith. It is only that I would like for my lost friends and kin to be able to see the truth and be guided by the light of  Allah, The Most High and the Teachings of Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him).

In the meantime I can only make dua  for their guidance.

"For those who Allah guides , No One can misguide and the for those who Allah misguides No One can guide."


Surah 14:4
And We never sent a messenger save with the language of his folk, that he might make (the message) clear for them. Then Allah sendeth whom He will astray, and guideth whom He will. He is the Mighty, the Wise.


We read in a Hadith:


 'Amr b. 'As reported: I heard it from the Messenger of Allah 

(may peace be upon him) quite audibly and not secretly: Behold! the posterity of my fathers, that is, so and so, are not my friends. Verily Allah and the pious believers are my friends.  (Book #001, Hadith #0417)

and not secretly: Behold! the posterity of my fathers, that is, so and so, are not my friends
Verily Allah and the pious believers are my friends.  Sahih Muslim (Book #001, Hadith #0417)


So however the heart misses everybody , the choices are clear.


Jazakallah again for reading :)
