Asalamu alaikum everyone 💖 Jazakallah for all your well wishes and prayers. But please note this video was recorded a while ago and a lot of things have changed. I will make an updated video soon. But you should see from my vlogs that my habit with prayers has changed. Alhamdulillah I am now able to get up for fajr on time and Alhamdulillah is no longer a struggle 😊🤲🏾✨
Wa'alaykumsalam warahmatullah wabarakatuh darling sister in Islam Alhamdulillah Robbil A'alamin for that🥰
masha allah sister my name is usman kabeto from ethiopia.
my sister you have been watching all the islamic videos you have been following in the past I was following you too. congratulations for following and seeing the true path. in fact allah loves you very much
Alhmdlillah. May the Almighty Allah guide you through each step and make Jannatul Firdausi easy for you
Walekum salam my sister
The more someone is struggling to learn the Quraan, the BIG More he/she is rewarded by the Allah❤❤
I haven’t seen you in a long time. It’s so beautiful to see you growing as a Muslimah. So proud of you may Allah increase you in knowledge and faith ❤
Masha Allah, in sha Allah almighty Allah will enter you paradise my sister khadija in Islam.
Masha Allah. Like everything in life, learning new things come with some challenges that fade away with time. Your utmost gift is Islam, that makes you a Jannat (paradise) candidate. Even us, born into Islam are still learning, on daily basis. Take it nice and slow, you will acquire much knowledge as time goes on. As for your relatives not wanting to accept your new religion, also give it time, later all the dusts will settle when they discover that you've chosen your path. Set alarm to help your Fajir prayers and do not delay to perform your ablution, to defeat shaitan from encouraging you to fall asleep and miss time for your prayers. I pray Allah's continuous blessings and guidance for you. We love you Sister Khadijat ❤❤❤
Its ok sis...ALLAH IS WITH YOU MY DEAR...DNT WRRY ABOUT ANYTHING THE BEST GIFT YOU GOT IS ISLAM...LOVE YA
Mashallah Tabarakallah.... Life in general is a struggle and ALLAH (SWT) has promised a befitting reward for whosoever struggles towards a good course just like you my sis, so please never give up.

Allah's Love is over all dear sister be strong where ever you are we loves you ❤

Don't get discouraged Allah knows what's hidden in our heart and He knows our intentions.
Love from Ghana ❤❤
Striving to become better as muslims is a continuous process. It is a journey that ends only when we die.
Salaam Alaikum Khadija or Ceci. Hold on to the Deen of Allah. Be persevere and be patient with them. And above all kindness . Be kind to them and inshaAllah they will sooner or later accept you or join you in the Deen. Allah bless you and keep you strong in the Deen with peace and tranquillity. Salaam.
May Allah give you patience and strength
You are doing great, between fe year's now, you will be better than many that are born in Islam, because they are just lucky.
Slow and steady wins the race, just be willing to and you will be there in a twinkle of an eye.
It definitely not easy sister that's what we who are not reverts go through.
The wisdom behind it is that the road to jannah is full of obstacles, waking up for fajr prayers is just one of the struggles.
But as you keep do it Allah will make it easy with you I promise. I could think remember the day I was in the situation waking up was difficult but now I can't start my day without doing it
Salam alaikum Sister Khadija Ceci! Listening to your experience makes me pray for you: may ALLAH make it easier for you with your spiritual journey.
Kindly, provide your family members with the Qur'an to enable them access the knowledge and information that guided you to Islam. Show them some religious debates that may get them interested. Show them You-Tube videos on miracles of the Qur'an.
Secondly, Learn to sleep early at the right time in order to wake up early for Fajr prayers. You may set your Alarm clock just on time for Fajr prayers.
Thirdly, All Qur'anic surahs can be found on recorded tapes. As such, it will be easier for you to memorize them while reciting them as well .
Finally, interact with learnered Muslim sisters in order to imbibe the basic tenets of Islam and its practices . Don't stay alone, lest Satan should whisper doubts into your heart. Take it easy , one step at a time and hopefully, ALLAH will make it easy for you, Ameeeen.Jazakallahu Khair.
Download an mp3 of the Quran on your phone and listen as you listen to music that helps with the mix-up while reciting. Good luck to us all.
May Allah keep you steadfast my sister
Remember all those problems are test from Allah so be strong
May Allah bestow upon you support from him, assurance and tranquility.
My advice is that you just try your best at all time and take it easy, there's no perfect Muslim we are not all at the same level some are ahead in knowledge and try than others but Allah is the only perfect he sees our intentions and he's a merciful God
You are an inspiration to us all, keep on doing what you are doing. nobody is perfect and be on top of things all the time. You are on the right track anyway! Have a safe and blessed day.
Salam alaikum my dear sister. May Allah continue to strengthen you in faith and steadfastness. Our lord is the most forgiving the most merciful.
Keep trying and he will help you.
As for your family, keep them in touch your prayers and be kind to them. Your actions and prayers will do the dawah, and when an opportunity comes for dialogue embrace it in the best of ways, with wisdom and gentle speech.
And let Quran/ sunnah of our prophet be your companion.
May Allah continue to shower you with beneficial knowledge and wisdom to navigate this journey. Amin.🤲🏽🎉
Have a blessed day by Allah’s mercy.
Masha Allah sister Ceci you have done your best may Allah make powerful because no arabe in the béguiniing find difficulte to recite thé Koran . Sée the example of Imam John now he recite thé Koran liké arabe people.
Sister don't stress your self so much to learn and do everything at once.... you will get there inshAllah. Just remember it took 23 years for the Quran to be revealed to Prophet Muhammad (pbuh).
Salaamu alaikum my dear sis, take it easy and in sha ALLAH 🙏 everything shall be alright.
No doubt that you will definitely face some difficulties as a new revert, but in sha ALLAH you will only see good from now.
Even the prophet's went through difficulties, you know.
Salaam Alaikum sister Khadijah. Happy to see you again. Well-done dear, you are doing your best please be patient with family members, it is usually like that, remember it was Allah in His mercy that guided you into Islam. On Fajr yeah it happens please take it easy Allah will make it easy for you, When you open your eyes try say Auzubilah mina shaitan rajeem. Shaitan will always want to pin you down even with all your solat.
Well-done once more please take it slow and do not put too much pressure on yourself, Allah will surely make it all easy for you.
Keep on trying Khadija and Allah SWT will guide you to successfully recite as many Surahs and Ayats bi iznil Allah
Assalam alaikum sister. You are doing good. Keep up the good work and inshallah it will be alright. We Ghanaians dont give up
Allah guides whom he will my dear sister. may Allah grant you janatu firdus. Ameen I had to forsake my family when I became Muslim, it was really a tough decision but Alhamdulilah for now they understood my point and every one holds on to their beliefs. may Allah makes the pathway of this easy for us and protect guide we the umarr of the prophet Muhammad (PBUH) it step by step u will learn and grow more in the deen, may Allah give you the hikmah
Take it slow,don't rush,it'll take time but it will be easy!
Khadija recite Rabi zeednil ilma all the time if u want Allah to expand ur brain or ur knowledge towards knowing everything.
May Allah bless you sister Ameen keep it up much love
Masha Allah
Jazakallahu kair sis
Sister keep up
My almighty Allah keep bless you 🎉❤❤❤
May Allah bless and strengthen you. You are really doing great. So keep it up.
May Allah ease your affairs and that of every Muslims all over the world. With time, all your aforementioned challenges will vanish by Allah's mercy.
Assalam Alaykum. For Fajr waking up, you can set your clock every 5 minutes in 3 series.
Thank you. Hanging around with practicing muslims can be helpful for new reverts.
والعصر إن الإنسان لفي خسر إلا الذين آمنوا وعملوا الصالحات وتواصو بالحق وتواصو بالصبر
Nothing has ever been easy but with time you'll get through with it all. Allah Subhanah Allah WataAllah is seeing all your struggles and it's also a form of test in our lives and He will see us through, Insha Allah.
You're an enthusiastic and strong lady and we pray Allah will make it easy for you and for us all, aameen 🙏❤️
Give yourself some grace. Things will work out at the end and as you say, with time it will be easier and Allah will continue to bless you sister. You have Iman and it shows. May Allah continue to bless you and make it easy for you to continue to learn.
As-Salaamu Alaikum sister Khadija. May Allah be on your side and may He strengthen and guide sister. Aameen Yaa Hayyu Yaa Qayyuum.
That’s great news
Everything will be alrght sis.....by ALLAH YOU WILL REACH GRTER HIGHTS...AND YOU WILL ENJOY ISLAM SO MCH....jst take it easy on yoself my dea
It was never going to be easy. But like you said, who so ever Allah has chosen, every other thing takes shape gradually.
It a gradual process, don't look on to people but look up to your creator Allah. Very soon your body and heart will adapt to the system of solat
Alhamdu'lillah. Welcome home Sister
Sorry about the rejections from family/ friends/ YOU CAN DO A FEW THINGS TO MINIMISE effects and systems !!! I will say that next as my opinion or as advice or TIPS, next.
Salaam Aleykum Khadija. Be patient,with your patience you will know everything. I pray to God to give you subra and knowledge to manage everything you wish to have on Islamic. Inshaa Allah.
❤❤ My dear sister, you are certainly going to be better some day soon. All that is required of you is consistency and an open heart, with Allah you will certainly get there. In Sha Allah!
May Allah bless and guide you ...♥☪
Carry on sis. You’re doing well 🎉🎉
@JourneywithCeci, thanks for sharing your challenges since your revert.
Pls take note, don't say the "small surats, no sura in the Quran is small. You could say "short surats".
Salam Alkiekom sister, i wish you find good muslim community to be your second family.
Dear Khadijah, be reminded that - the Satan will try to discourage you, that is normal with all of us faithfuls, fight him off !
Your journey to Islam wasn't easy, you did it by searching for the truth with your Soul and dedication in your zeal to discover your purpose in this life, therefore persevere, be steadfast and take one step at a time !
Meanwhile, read Chapter 94, it has 8 verses, that should give you some comfort
May Allah make it easy on you, be blessed !
❤ماشاء الله ❤
Asalam aleikum sister , i really missed you 😢 i Haven seen your videos for long coz i haven't been on youtube , m happy to see you going through the islam
People in The West, especially friends and maybe family, they do not want to see "change" from who you were; especially in terms of appearance and maybe behaviour as well to a lesser extent.
. Here are some TIPS
(1) Keep your original name (at least for a period, and if you really yourself like to make a change, then do that in the long future after you are more accepted by family/friends that you have changed and still the same person!
(2) Get your "visual appearance" as close to your original dressing style as you can!
Meaning, wearing a triangular peace of clothing, so called Hijab, is not essential BECAUSE it not the only way you can cover your hair; so maybe a beanie or some other way you can cover hair (invent something and make business selling them, as a further tip!)
What Islam says is to cover up to the minimum required to be decent, so not to attract or invite male attention from strangers.
So with only female company or members of your family members are okay to be around them without your hijab thing.
Hijab is a tool to cover up the hair, but it is not the only way to cob=ver up!!
Hijab has become a uniform. I think it is better to avoid to advertise that you are different. It is better, I think, to blend in, while keeping yourself to the rules and the commands of Islam!!!
In the West hijab has become a "uniform" that attracts attention, and hence a tool to identify Muslims. Islam haters will use this to insults and even attack!
Allah does want to make your life easy, not more difficult.
So I advise to cover but don't use hijab (unless you like to or want to!) INSTEAD you may wear a beanie or crown jewels if you can afford them/
You can be stylish but conform to Islamic rules and commands, I believe!! ALL THE BEST/
🤲
Even born muslim practicing are not perfect in there faith. Be patient and strong and you will get succès in the deen. Allah bless you.
Is a gradual process my sister. Just try learning and mastering one thing only at a time, every 3 days or one week. In few years you will surprise where you can be. I wish you Allah's guidance
May Allah bless you and sunnah of prophet Muhammad peace be upon him warm our hearts ❤
I appreciate
Don't be perfect ! You will try of course to develop and grow.
The Quran took 23 years, and you are wise enough to know that we must go towards, but may never reach "perfection", after all we are created with imperfections;
and you do say it yourself//
Masha Allah. Sister, Allah will help you through, you should learn slowly.
Would like to commend you for the desire to become the version of yourself. My advice to you is have SABR and not to be too hard on yourself. Take it easy. It takes baby steps and you will in sha Allah someday become a better version of yourself. You just have to think about how long it took you before embracing Islam. Your journey to Islam gives you enough evidence to know that one doesn't become a " model ". There is actually nothing like a model Muslim since there's always room for improvement
Assalam Alaikum. Sis Khadija even a born muslim really faces struggles in learning the holy Qur'an. But if I remember every that every alphabet of the Qur'an you read stands for reward. I would like to advise you not to rush. Calm down. Take time particularly in the morning after Fajr prayer and in the evening. May Allah help you through.
Alhamdulillah masha Allah may Allah continiou to streaghteen you may Allah provide a firm husband that will help u know more about your religiuon
You will surely understand all the surah soon
Patient is key!
However, your pace of learning Islam is never bad, a step at a time is okay.
Just to lend you a voice in regards to rejection by loved ones. Try as much as you can to be around those who can help you in your revert journey and share experience with you of the process a new revert usually face.
It's a challenge you certainly will overcome in a matter of time dear sister. Be consistent and focus.
May Almighty Allah grant you all your heart desires🤲🤲🤲
salaam to you sister, nice seeing again. is not hard to know your suras, listen to some audios just like music over and over
Or u should also recite Robil sudri wayasirr_ amiri
Wa-akudatar mini sani yahkurli kurli... Or ask the imam in ur masjid to give u prayer that will open ur brain more to memorize Quran... There is prayer for it, asalamualaikum.... I Always admire u!, love u for the sake of Allah.
The self doubt you feel is coming from the Shaitan whispering, Sister anytime you are self doubling please read "Auzu billah Minashaitan Nir a jeem" I seek refuge in Allah from the outcast Shaitan.
Look learn 2-3 surah, don't try to memorize too many as you are new,,memorize 2 or 3 and continue practicing them and recite them in ur prayer!
Where have you been
That is the signed of sweetness of faith, Prophets pass through all, and Islam is completely submission of Allah, and don't forget Satan will be lunching series of war on you just like other believers, he will get you discouraged, lazy etc when it comes to the worship of your creator.
Stick Azhkar...
Congratulations 👏
ASC
SISTER, you make luagh you said that you mix two sure al-naza and ekhlas that is what I do mostly mix this and that
But I realise Allah created us for struggling in order to become stronger. Sister, don't give up on your family insha-Allah Allah will give them hiday
Please will you marry me Hajia ❤❤❤
It's Satan that is putting you DOWN during Fajr prayers! Hence if you experience such, QUICKLY seek refuge from the Almighty Allah SWT by saying, "A oozu billabi minas shaidani rajim" Good luck
Authu billahi min ashaitanirrajim*
Always looking forward to your channel after work will appreciate make ma day like always alhamdulillah 🤲🏿
Weh sorry my dear sister keep on stroggling Allah Subhanahu wataallah is seeing you and no one is perfect.
Talking is not embracing muslim its gods way to show you right abd wrong
I patiently watched your video before leaving my comment. I have watched you almost from the beginning and to me you came across as someone who did not really know what they believed even as a Christian. Despite all the evidence that you must have seen even in the process of you reviewing Islamic videos like the quran not understanding what trinity is, the life of Mohammed, and too many to mention, you ignored all the signs and went ahead. It's your choice as you can be who ever you want to be however, there is nothing that proves to me that islam is from God.
As regards understanding Islam, I have many friends who have been Muslims all their lives and I can tell you that despite their commitment to studying islam, if you ask them very simple question they can't provide answer. In summary they recite and study but from what I have experienced with them, they don't really still understand islam, maybe because Arabic is not their language. If you also need to learn arabic before you can know God, then I will ask, why? If allah truely created everyone and everything. I have also been told by my muslim friends that the quranic arabic is 'old arabic' so it's not easy to understand. They always want to check a book first before they can explain anything.
If you have watched videos by Christian Prince and till went ahead to become a Muslim, then you are the only one who can really explain why you are a muslim as it's not because islam is true.
Hope you have a good day and if you ever found out that you are wrong, hope you will be bold enough to also leave regardless
I have followed her from the beginning too. I've never seen her tackle the difficult issues when discussing Islam she always ran away from them.If you believe your religion is the truth then it should be strong enough to face the fire. It amazing me, many go through these motions of being of Muslim doing salat, dawah and etc but they don't have a personal relationship with God. Islam is like community religion where you do these rituals and follow the traditions of a man. But where is her relationship with God. As a Christian we pray, meditate, worship, praise and cry-out to God on this journey through life as he walks through difference struggles and blessings and our faith becomes stronger because we know what his delivered us through in the past. My sin has separated me from God but my good works can not bring me to him, only through his son Jesus Christ can we be reunited with the Father, as the Father is in the son and the son in the Father, so through the son we can have the Father in us.
John 1:1 In the beginning was the word, the word was with God and the word was God. 1:2 He was with God in the beginning. 1:3 All things were made through him(Jesus), and without him nothing was made that has been made. 1:4 In him was life and the life was the LIGHT of all mankind. 1:5 The Light shines in darkness and the darkness could not comprehend.
The sister is in darkness and cannot comprehend the Light which brings life to all mankind. That which is the word of God, the image of God, the will God, the word who is God himself. Jesus Christ. (John 1:14 And the word became flesh and dwelt among us).
I once tried to explain to a Muslim the verse in "Matthew 15:11 What goes in a man does not defile him but was comes out his mouth defiles him" . What the verse means that it is not what you eat that defiles because these things are earthly things and things of the flesh. But what comes out your heart is from your spirit. The Flesh is temporary and will perish but the soul will last forever. God looks at the heart of a man. That last meal you placed into your mouth is temporary but the what comes out your mouth is from your heart. That is forever because it can defile your soul.
God Bless, I don't know where all these came from, maybe not for you or for me but it is a word for someone.
Allah is with you, dont worry. Call out to Him ALL THE TIME, remember Him ALL THE TIME. Your problems will vanish eventually.
You dont need anyone else besides Him.
Ok❤
