      The Devil was also touched by Islam's message and became a muslim and
      commands MuhamMAD to do good:
      Abdullah ibn Mas’ud reported: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said, “Each one of you has a devil-companion from the jinn over him.” They said, “Even you, O Messenger of Allah?” The Prophet said, “Even me, yet Allah helped me against him until he embraced Islam. He does not order me to do anything but good.”
      (Source: Ṣaḥīḥ Muslim 2814
      Grade: Sahih (authentic) according to Muslim)
      ................
      Sunan an-Nasa'i 3960
      It was narrated from 'Ubadah bin Al-Walid bin 'Ubadah bin As-Samit that 'Aishah said:
      "I looked for the Messenger of Allah and I put my hand on his hair." He said: "Your Shaitan has come to you." I said: "Don't you have a Shaitan?" He said: "Yes, but Allah helped me with him, so he submitted."
      أَخْبَرَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا اللَّيْثُ، عَنْ يَحْيَى، - هُوَ ابْنُ سَعِيدٍ الأَنْصَارِيُّ - عَنْ عُبَادَةَ بْنِ الْوَلِيدِ بْنِ عُبَادَةَ بْنِ الصَّامِتِ، أَنَّ عَائِشَةَ، قَالَتِ الْتَمَسْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم فَأَدْخَلْتُ يَدِي فى شَعْرِهِ فَقَالَ ‏"‏ قَدْ جَاءَكِ شَيْطَانُكِ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ فَقُلْتُ أَمَا لَكَ شَيْطَانٌ فَقَالَ ‏"‏ بَلَى وَلَكِنَّ اللَّهَ أَعَانَنِي عَلَيْهِ فَأَسْلَمَ ‏"‏ ‏.‏

    I reverted to Islam after studying it for about two years. Once I took my Shahada I didn’t plan on wearing hijab because I thought “Allah is forgiving he knows my heart and so on like many western muslima influencers”. I was attached to my beauty because in America I am the beauty standard and I held it dear to my identity I knew I wouldn’t be able to benefit from it like I always have in every aspect of my life honestly. After taking Shahada I immediately started wearing hijab I met two beautiful sisters who were hijabis’ and they were the most beautiful women inside and out Alhamdulillah they gave me confidence to wear hijab. I’m so grateful to Allah for placing these women in my life around that time. I’ll say this once you stop letting outside influence dictate whether or not you follow Allahs teaching you will truly see how your life changes for the better instantly. Allah knows how difficult it is for us to wear hijab and it truly gets you closer to him than before. Just recently I was contemplating whether I was going to wear hijab to my interview here in the US because I’ve never been through something like this and Alhamdulillah I made dua Allah guided me to keep in on no matter what and Alhamdulillah I got the job! It made me gain trust in Allah and I made dua for him to make it easy for me. Allah knows best and if he is requiring it for us muslimas to wear hijab that should be enough of a reason to wear it proudly. Wearing hijab for me is like wearing a crown that represents Islam. I also am a revert first in my family lineage living in a metropolitan city in the US. Ladies make it a priority and make dua that Allah keeps you in the straight path. I don’t get sexually harassed or looked at with list anymore and I’m actually safer than before. I had to develop other qualities besides my beauty that give me confidence such as following sunnah, furthering my education and being a genuinely good person. May Allah guide you sis it’s not as difficult as you think. I overcame the same obstacles you have and if I can do it ANYONE can I say that in the most humble way because I never thought before taking Shahada that I would proudly be a hijabi! You got this ladies!!

      in my childhood, i dont even know you can be an atheist or agnostic (not even a word back then). what social media did t0 is,lam and me, its like what printing press did to christianity. i hv read alot about other religions, like jainism or zoroaster or gilgamesh, till i can see where these stories in most of "holy books" are inspired from.

    I took my Shahada in March of last year. Right before the beginning of Ramadan alhamdulillah! When I was doing my research on Islam, there were a few people who stuck out to me, especially when coming across reverts. Candace is one of them. Her handle being called “The Blonde Muslim” really sticks out. Just like myself, she lives in Southern California. Coming across her profile is one of many things that gave me the confidence to become Muslim.

      As an elder woman who left Islam at young age I can confirm that Islam is nothing but a tool of Muhammad to keep his power. Muhammad died out of poison, if he is a prophet hu must’ve to know that coming. One more thing it’s not a peaceful tolerant religion at all the Kaba you’re seeing today is built by destroying more than 300 idols of qureshis, and the black stone one out them clearly idol worshipping. And human evaluation and modern science proves Adam Hawa just a lie cuz they’ve no answer. Better get out it, I don’t care what religion or whatever you want to be just leave the mud hole , I can garentee u will feel much more open minded as a new experience.

    Wow what an amazing story! I am German-Iranian and while my dad is proud to be a Muslim, he never practised. I was always drawn but never fully went in. Iranians have an incredibly strained relationship to Islam, understandably, so now that I am developing my own relationship with it, I am up against a lot of mockery and hostility from my own people who have been robbed of their spirituality by a dictatorship misusing and abusing religion. - I was really touched to hear Candace talk about not being perfect at the beginning. This is my first Ramadan, and I sometimes only manage to fast until 2pm rather than 6, and am drinking water. At first I felt ashamed, but I hope it is still acceptable to God. I am trying. I absolutely love listening to Koran - especially in the morning while seeking connection to God but generally all the time 💕. - Ah, and like many others, I was brought closer to the faith of my roots by October 6, and how the West is aiding and abetting genocide. The situation is wild here in Germany and we "brown people" have been facing crazy amounts of police violence, bullying and media repression as well as threats by ordinary people on rhe street. I always knew the white man hates us (I witnessed my Iranian day's experience). Now I know the depth and the length to which they go to. It would be cynical to say "thank God for October 6 and all that came thereafter" because of the horrible loss of life and dehumanising humiliation of Palestinians. But thank God for October 6 and how the West treated it because it fast-tracked my return to the deen of my ancestors and it invited so many others in. Thanks for this conversation again. 🙏🏽

      Ya akhi that's not how it works that's because the prayer wasn't revealed yet the 5 daily prayers are obligatory on every Muslim and the scholars differ if the one that doesn't pray if his a Muslim or not.
      Here's the hadith
      العهدُ الذي بينَنا وبينَهم الصلاةُ، فمَن تركَها فقد كفرَ
      الراوي : بريدة بن الحصيب الأسلمي | المحدث : ابن باز | المصدر : مجموع فتاوى ابن باز | الصفحة أو الرقم : 312/10 | خلاصة حكم المحدث : إسناده صحيح | التخريج : أخرجه الترمذي (2621)، والنسائي (463)، وابن ماجه (1079)، وأحمد (22987)
      The covenant between us and them is prayer, so whoever abandons it has disbelieved
      Narrator: Buraydah bin Al-Haseeb Al-Aslami | The narrator: Ibn Baz Source: Collection of Fatwas of Ibn Baz Page or number: 312/10 | Summary of the hadith’s ruling: Its chain of transmission is authentic Graduation: Narrated by Al-Tirmidhi (2621), Al-Nasa’i (463), Ibn Majah (1079), and Ahmad (22987)
      وَمَا كَانَ لِمُؤْمِنٍ وَلَا مُؤْمِنَةٍ إِذَا قَضَى اللَّهُ وَرَسُولُهُ أَمْرًا أَن يَكُونَ لَهُمُ الْخِيَرَةُ مِنْ أَمْرِهِمْ ۗ وَمَن يَعْصِ اللَّهَ وَرَسُولَهُ فَقَدْ ضَلَّ ضَلَالًا مُّبِينًا
      It is not for a believing man or a believing woman, when Allah and His Messenger have decided a matter, to have any choice over their matter. And whoever disobeys Allah and His Messenger has indeed clearly gone astray.

    When I told my parents I was Muslim, my mother asked me why I would want to condem my children to hell(I was raised Christian in the USA, reverted at 35YO). It was the most painful response she could've had. Thankfully, my husband intervened because he could see how emotional it was for me. My dad on the other hand, read the entire Qur'an and we have had some wonderful discussions. I haven't been Muslim long and am definitely struggling with learning Arabic. Islam has given me understanding and an internal peace that I've never experienced before. All praise is to Allah.

      You don't have to learn Arabic. You need to learn just enuf to recite the mandatory prayers. The Prophet himself could not read or write Arabic. Most early Muslims could not write Arabic. That did not stop them from learning the Ayah of Quran by heart, by listening and repeating. Take baby steps, you will be fine.

The Islam religion opens rusty hearts in peace, it changes human behavior to mannerisms which radiates enlightenments to humanity. And all creations have its own rights until other’s limit of rights. Islam has logic which indicates good reasonings and they make sense. The Quran gives a lot of hints about science and existence of Allah(God), not everyone understands and sees that, special people able to understand and see them, sister is one of them, who saw the right path. May Allah bless all of us.

    I am a white European American who reverted to Islam 18 years ago. I got so tired of my culture rejecting me for being Muslim, my family, like I’m a traitor to them. I finally just left and moved to Egypt so I can just be me and not be attacked all the time for being a Muslim. I’m to old and tired to deal with the bad treatment and can’t live in my own culture anymore. I’m at peace now and just accepted for who I am and the fact that I am a Muslim and love my faith.

      I want to do the same as you. Im a convert since a decade in Europe. It’s getting harsher with discrimination and rhetoric. I feel I need to hide. I haven’t found a Muslim man to marry. If anyone is up for making dua please make dua that I will get to make hijrah. Name is Neilah

      @@gimmelicorice I totally understand how you feel. It’s not easy to leave to another country without a source of income or someone to help you. I’m lucky I have disability money i live on, which goes far here compared to America. I went back to America for a little while to visit, and I was asked not to wear my hijab because it was to dangerous to my family. So I don’t see where the freedom of religion is without violence, especially when I don’t bother anyone at all, I’m peaceful. I’m old now and disabled and there is no way I could defend myself if someone pushed me or something. Some places in America are very racist and just hate Muslims, have this idea we are going to take them over with Sharia law, which is hilarious and uneducated. I don’t see that mentality going away for a long time, especially since the American Government bred the hate for Muslims after 9/11.

    I can tell you, as a born Muslim, the pressure is consent from other Muslims and to be honest it’s very unislamic- they are judgemental, want you to do things the ‘right way’ or else you’re labelled as khuffar. I have had to zone out the noise and focus on myself and Allah only. Allah is the most kind, most merciful and all knowing.. He knows our heart, our intentions. I will never be a perfect Muslim but I love Allah and I will always try to do the right thing. I would say to anyone experiencing Allah’s calling.. but are put off by the Hadith bashers on TikTok /insta who spam and say they are giving ‘advice’ - please delete the app and to block Muslim male podcasters content as it can actually make people feel repelled by Islam. Just focus on doing what you can, integrate small things and don’t make it your whole identity, having other Muslim friends can make it feel quite suffocating so try and maintain a balance in life but always have Allah in your heart.

      i can feel this. Im a convert since years. I went to the masjid once and met a very pious woman (around her 50s) there. We chatted and I told her about my hijab struggle. That it's hard to wear it here in East Europe where almost no Muslims live in according to studies 75 % are against having a Muslim neighbour. I literally need to have a roof over my head as a single woman and a job and being publicly Muslim risks both. I told her I've tried wearing it, but took it off 'cause it was hard for me. She then took my hand, pressed it, looked me in the eyes and said "You either wear it or you go to hell." I since quit going to mosque and Muslim gatherings but I practice on my own. The way born Muslims have treated me (also in the search for a husband and the fact Im autistic) has really dragged my mood down.

    one is the Fitrah (common sense of the honest heart) and the other is the revelation (Quran and sunnah) she clearly had the first light which led her to the second light may we all be guided to our final destination and meeting Allah in heaven in peace …

    It's so nice to see that she's been able to become a Muslim and remain an American at the same time. And I'm sorry to hear about that "pressure to wear hijab" having caused her such a hard time. It seems that this hijab issue constitutes an obsession for so many Muslims living in the West (even more than in many Muslim countries), and I don't understand the reason. I'm sure they know that a Muslim lady is a Muslim even if not covering her hair, and they also know that famous Quranic verse, "...Allah does not burden any soul greater than it can bear" (2:286). It seems to me that their reason for pressuring new Muslims to wear hijab is not an issue of faith, but of "social solidarity". As they have made the "hard choice" for themselves or for their families, they want more people to do that, so that they have more fellow Muslims to "fight" for their rights. But this is wrong. If one becomes a Muslim, he/she doesn't do it for the sake of a certain "community", but for absolutely individual and spiritual reasons. So please, support the new Muslims in strengthening their faith, and don't disturb them with issues that even in the Muslim world are often considered to be controversial.

    • @gimmelicorice
      @gimmelicorice 2 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Great comment, I appreciate it as a convert. Yes, the pressuring in the west is beacause of being a minority, and hence, they think one must "prove one's allegiance" to the Muslim community by wearing hijab right away. So that Muslims would be as visible as possible in society, I guess. I tried wearing hijab for first one year, took it off and tried another year. I'm living as a convert, in Eastern Europe, not Poland but a similar country I won't name ('cause of privacy). Everyone clearly knows what wearing hijab here leads to - it will have a big impact on one's career, ability to get housing, safety, we have a big far right party here with which, we don't know what they'll cause to us in the future... I was assaulted while wearing it. Then I went to the mosque once and one woman from there tried to become my mentor so to say, and said the 2nd time we met "You either wear hijab full time now, or you go to hell!" while pressing my hand in hers. I still identify as Muslim, but i don't go to mosque or Muslim gatherings anymore. also I was shamed for not being able to have biological children by a fellow sister there.
