Yes, the problem is when we grew as Muslims we do not appreciate this Niima, and do not evaluate it correctly, playing with Akida, and believing, we need to work on our self's it's not easy as it appears. Salam Alaykum
Brother seek forgiveness from Allah don’t admit that you don’t struggle for deen Allah forgives all those exept those who expose there sins , remember that we are all created equal although our religon is the truth there are Muslims out there who are not necessarily muslim
@@hammoudihoussam58 Narrated Abu Said: The Prophet said, "You will follow the wrong ways, of your predecessors so completely and literally that if they should go into the hole of a mastigure, you too will go there." We said, "O Allah's Apostle! Do you mean the Jews and the Christians?" He replied, "Whom else?" (Meaning, of course, the Jews and the Christians.) Ponder upon this akhi the prophet is telling us that is own nation will go through everything the past nations have went through meaning we need to renew our faith and return to the truth just because we are born Muslim doesn’t mean we are on the truth brother
Salamu alaikum im also an American revert to Islam. Al humdu Allah for Islam. Its been 11 years May 7th 2007. May Allah bless you continue to guide you and make it easy for you. Ameen.
May Allah guide you and grant you jannah brother. And remember emaan goes up and down but make alot of dua and pray your salaats on time and when/if you're faith is shaky pray the night prayers it helps soo much.
Born muslim here from Beirut. Never truly appreciated my religion until about 1-2 years ago and when you started with the Fatiha, I literally got chills and cried. SubhanAllah what you had to go through to get to the truth and I had the Quran in my home all these years and didn’t even read it. Truly Allah guides who He pleases, and we must do our part in spreading the message. JazakaAllah Khayran. Salam brother Saajid ✌🏻 ❤️
I just started watching this video and I wanted to tell a bit about my childhood as far as religion is concerned. I was born in Albania and at that time Albania was a communist country. Religion was totally prohibited. Mosques and churches were destroyed by the communist government. There was only one mosque left in the capital and that was left as a cultural symbol. It's doors were closed and no one entered in. One day I was passing in front of this mosque and I asked my father (god bless his soul) what is that? And he told me it is a mosque. I asked again: What is mosque? He said: it is a place where you pray. I am sure he has explained it to me, but that's all I remember. My father used to be an Immam before the religion was prohibited in Albania. So, most of the people were afraid to express their believes in public. We did not really have a notion of god at that time, our parents did know about god, but we as children no. We were born while communism ruled. So, we only new about the party and it's deeds. Now, I remember this very clearly. I was still lying in bed at that time and a thought came in my mind, what actually happens when we die? We live in this world, we accumulate wealth, but then we die and then we have nothing. That looked very strange that we live this life without a purpose. Then later I discovered that there is a hereafter. When communism fell down, we started learning about Islam and I started going to mosques to learn something. I found a bit difficult to grasp all those Arabic words in the beginning. One thing has discouraged me a bit during my time learning about Islam that I saw many Arabs coming to Albania and they did not look very pious even though they were preaching about Islam. They had opened these Islamic Organisations and they did not leave behind a very good taste with the population. I did not like them either, to be honest or the people who pretended to be Muslims as they were stealing around. That discouraged me a lot. I have returned back to Islam, Allhamdulilah and I hope Allah will keep me in the right path. However, I don't tend to tell people a lot that I am a Muslim for the fear that some of my deeds might discourage other people as I was discouraged ones. We are humans and we definitely make sins, knowingly or unknowingly. PS: as a foot note I want to say this, that I have nothing against arabs or any other people. Just because some people are bad or behave badly does not mean that the rest are bad as well. However, we have to keep in mind that a rotten apple spoils the whole barrel, if you know what I mean.
Burre Ifort you have to know that no one is perfect to be a Muslim is to believe and try to pray your five prayers but as a Muslim the religion of Allah doesn’t belong to only you your friends deserve to know your family you need to preach if you are able to because you will never know they will and can except Islam
Burre Ifort Brother, your story is very interesting and Alhamdulillah Allah guides you to Islam. What you say about Arabs is very irritating as I’m an Arab, but please note that they are not infallible. They make mistakes. And the only excuse I can find for them is that they came from a different culture that’s entirely Islamic, they don’t understand the cultural backgrounds of others, and they just think that you are Muslims and know everything about Islam and all what they need to do is just encourage you, sometimes harshly, to stick to the teachings of Islam. We need people who know the cultures of people who live under blasphemous regimes, and know how to get them back to worshiping Allah in the way that’s pleasing to Him. Thank you brother.
Interesting video, brother. I, too grew up in America in a Christian family Catholic in my case. I always believed in God as well but never felt a connection to the Catholic church or Christianity in general. I also can relate to you in the Jesus issue; It was always so difficult for me to see him as God/son of God. I wholeheartedly agree with you in the whole Christianity doesn't exist in America. In the United States, Christianity is essentially a social club, coffee shop and daycare. Christianity is on the decline and outside of the few fundamentalists in parts of the south and mid-west, Christians don't actually follow their scripture. I, too have tried studying the bible both Catholic and Protestant versions. It really is confusing and does not make any sense like the Quran does. Many Christians in fact most of them do not believe the bible is the preserved infallible word of God. They see it as a self-help book and nothing more. I also understand what you mean about being objective in the search for the truth. I looked into Buddhism, Hindusim, Judaism and agnosticism before ever seriously looking into Islam. I also served in the U.S. Military at height of the war in Iraq and they really brainwash you to hate Islam and Muslims. I really believed they were all terrorists and wanted to kill us. But at that point I still never read the Quran. It was not til I left the military that I read Quran and spoke to actual Muslims. I really like your channel and it is good to have a fellow American Muslim with a similar story let alone someone who is studying in Madina. Keep up the good work.
I’m a revert of 20+ years American and living in Saudi. Alhamdulilah. Your videos are a HUGE BLESSING as I’ve just found out about them!!! You are saying what I want to say, but in a really concise, logical, down to earth way, i am sharing them widely!!!! Ya Rub you will reach many in dawa with good intention insha Allah.
Master Roshi Stian Slatlem it doesn’t lies plz do ur research honey did you know in the idk bible that you lot can’t accept your original bible that women cannot speak up they are weak whereas in Islam they can also Master Roshi who is god? Is Jesus the son of Mary? Who made that happen? Is Jesus the begotten son?who is his father ?who did Jesus pray to on his knees calling out “oh god” in his language ? Why isn’t the Bible in Jesus language ? Why don’t xtians dress like Mary and Jesus ? Why do they go against the rule of showing 1 hair u myt aswel go bald or the rule of modesty ? And no sex bfr marriage ?is Jesus a servant of god?did Jesus die on the cross?so who resurrected him? Who sent the angel of death to him ? Who sent him up there 👆?who is god?does god have a beginning ? Who was born in Xmas?jesus prayed all the tine like is Muslims why don’t you lot do the same if you love Jesus? Or is it because you don’t know who Jesus prayed to?how many god are there ? Dyou believe in more than 1 god ?who is the father? Who is the son ? Am lost and also how many gods are ther in heaven? How come jesus was born after Adam? If Jesus is god wouldn’t he be creating Adam ?did your god only exist after Mary so what about before ? There was no soul on earth tho so how does that work I’ll tell you more points but it ain’t worth arguing with a religion who does the opposite of Mary and Jesus am sorry but Jesus and Mary look and act more of a Muslim than a christians hands down if they wer here’re Mary would be modest when wouldn’t dress like a nun hands down Jesus would I look liek a Muslim hands down jesus would never be seen in a pub hands down Mary would never be seen with no scarf tight clothes hands down Mary would never be seen with a preg belly bfr marriage hands down you wouldn’t see any of them talking to the opposite gender hands down they sousing celebrate Christmas or Easter hands down they wouldn’t even speak English or understand a bible that has been changed by law changing what you lot claim are gods words hands down non of you have memorized the whole bible like me us Muslims our Quran was memorized since the time it was sent out to us so no one can change it tell any Muslim they’d know the bearded in Quran Arab same language as our prophet peace be upon him you lot don’t even know the Bible in Jesus language also Jesus was mentioned 25!!!!! X in our quaran we have a whole let’s say chapter about Mary and her family her father his son Jesus and all we love Jesus we pray like them we fast liek them we fast more than 30 days a year ! We dress liek they we don’t believe ins ex before marriage we believe in modesty so next time you think about the hijab just know Mary is my role model Unlike you people who follow animals you claim that’s your god but don’t follow shit learn Jesus mother tongue learn how to dress like them learn how to pray like them memorize the so called bible go repent about mixing both genders because as Mary got older she was never seen moving with a man that’s why she’s called Virgin Mary also if Jesus died for our sins then why is he coming back ? Is it not enough ? Why do you believe in heaven and hell if you believe even if we kill rape suicide after not trusting your own god !!! In our religion suicide takes you to hell because that means you don’t believe in your created who created eveything you don’t have faith so ye you die a rapist you go heaven with the rest then? Then no it’s all a lie Bible is a lie it’s been changed because you people cannot accept in this modern day society to stop having sex before marriage to stop women from dressing half naked especially in summer I hope that when Jesus returns in Islam he didn’t die he’s alive and he will come back and he will defeat dajaal a powerful evil beast and the rest of satan followers who have sex before marriage who don’t believe in modesty and correct the world and I feel ashamed for when that time comes half the women here will be naked at the beach wearing bra and pants in ashamed he will see that people drink in the streets harming their bodies I am ashamed he will see Rapist?abuse ? Fraud ? And all sorts I am ashamed that he will see people celebrating Xmas so yah do your research honey please don’t go spreading false research hun the answer is clear to you read all this then talk .^
I love this testimony. I found Islam the same way in 2015. The invitation from Allah is a very powerful life changing event. I wish many of my family and friends would except it as well. But as we know we must be invited to this Dean.
@@rarest317 Salam achi. I live and was born in Germany but my parents are from Morocco. Always trust in Allah and i wish you the best. May Allah bless you, your wife and may Allah guide your family and friends also. Amin
SubhanAllah Alhamdulillah I’ve never heard a convert story as similar to my own before. Alhamdulillah basically same thing happened to me. Once I opened Quran for the first time, and read Al Fatihah, I immediately recognized it as the truth. I remember also being ecstatic, running through the house, trying to clean it and make it beautiful for my mom who was about to come home. I was just so excited I finally found the truth. Recognizing the truth is such a blessing alhamdulillah but yes Allah guides whom He wills. Alhamdulillah for the guidance. May Allah swt continue to bless you in seeking knowledge and bring many many people to Islam through your dawah. Ameen
I would like to humbly request from my revert brothers and sisters to share your journey to Islam stories so that the world, both Muslims and non-Muslims could hear your beautiful heart melting stories, perhaps it may have some impact on us. Thank you all.
I converted in my of 2022. I met a beautiful Muslim girl who is an angle sent to me. She has changed my life and showed me Islam. I thank God every day
This might appear pedantic but I disagree with the term "second generation convert", just because my eighth ancestor converted doesn't make me a nineth generation muslim (I don't know at which point my ancestory was the the conversion but you get my point). And Just because you're white doesn't make you unusual to be a Muslim, if we want to fix how people perceive us we need to first fix how we perceive ourselves. We should not be people of a certain ethnicity or ethnicities, we should be a people of good demeaner and good character
I literally just started to read and listen to the Quran born catholic converted in to a Christian was even baptized but yet had no real connection as I do believe in god with all my heart and soul just never felt a connection with that being said the Quran just makes more sense to me and hits me the way no other religion has without no 100 pure knowledge in Islam and the Quran cause like I said I just started to read it just feels like this is my true calling and I want to learn more about it and be about it
@ISA Masih Saviour Messiah ISA Masih Saviour Messiah Bible also tells about an upcoming Prophet from the seeds of Abraham who will rise from the mount paran. And he would be illiterate. 1) Prophet Muhammad is a seed of Abraham through Ishmael through Adnan. 2) Prophet Muhammad got his revelations while meditating in cave Hira or mount Hira which is located within The Mount Paran range. 3) Prophet Muhammad was illiterate. If he is false, who is the last Prophet you are waiting for?
@@jasonmartinez9685 how would you worship God without knowing who god really is and not knowing how to worship. U pray to Allah with open heart and Allah will guide you in the true path. Read the Quran it will definitely help. Allah has given you the ability to distinguish between rit and wrong. I pray to Allah to give u hidayah and guide u to the path of truth.
@Asma Elbiltagy show me where it says that in the koran The koran goes on in some detail about Abrahams line, nowhere is there mhmd, the lineage to Ishmael is a later fabrication to give authenticity to mzlms, deceit after deceit after deceit!
Wow, what an amazing life story I'm an Iranian muslim and I'm proud of Islam and our Prophet Muhammad pbuh and as a brother i wish you a successful life and dawa for you.
So happy for you! I live up the road from Fort Meade. I am so happy for you brother. I would like to attend your lectures if you will be in Baltimore or Howard County. You are so blessed to be chosen early in life. I found the Qua'ran very late while studying the Qua'ran for healing plants to help the Honey Bees. I was guided to a Beekeeper in Saudi Arabia and he suggested I read the Qua'ran for the message. I did. Alhamdulillah Thank you for your your message. I which your Dua great success. InshaAllah
Assalamoalaikum sister. I was raised muslim Alhamdolillah. But, i dont know about these "healing plants for honey bees". I have a new found interest in honey bees. I m going to google it. Can it be found on google?
@@maryanne7161 Most of my information came from reading herbal medicine and from Beekeepers in Algeria, Saudi Arabia. Plant medicine is used around the world to heal various illinesses for thousands of years. When studied the body makeup or physiology of the Honey Bee, I found that we are similar or the same except for there exoskeleton and their wax making and honey making ability. What is killing Bees is now a faulty immune system caused by toxins. Manmade toxins are also damaging humans. Are you on Maryland?
@ISA Masih Saviour Messiah ISA Masih Saviour Messiah we don’t believe in the authenticity of the current day bible lol how are you using the bible to defend christianity
"For whomever Allah wants good, he gives him the understanding of the Deen." Indeed Allah chosen you and guide you through the right religion. May Allah keep you in the right path and guide your love ones.
عن أبي هريرة - رضي الله عنه - قال : قال النبي - صلى الله عليه وسلم - : يقول الله تعالى : ( أنا عند ظن عبدي بي ، وأنا معه إذا ذكرني ، فإن ذكرني في نفسه ذكرته في نفسي ، وإن ذكرني في ملإ ذكرته في ملإ خير منهم ، وإن تقرب إلي بشبر تقربت إليه ذراعا ، وإن تقرب إلي ذراعا تقربت إليه باعا ، وإن أتاني يمشي أتيته هرولة ) رواه البخاري ومسلم .
Abu Hurairah (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said, "Allah the Exalted says: 'I am as my slave expects me to be, and I am with him when he remembers Me. If he remembers Me inwardly, I will remember him inwardly, and if he remembers Me in an assembly, I will remember him in a better assembly (i.e., in the assembly of angels)."
Abu Hurayra reported that the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, "Allah does not thank the person who does not thank people." And I thank U for sharing your experience really my heart fluttering when someone inter islam because The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said, "He who calls others to follow the Right Guidance will have a reward equal to the reward of those who follow him, without their reward being diminished in any respect on that account."
Ya rubb! 😭 thank you sooo much for our brother sharing his story with us. This is such a beautiful story. Your whole life you kept on questioning, and questioning. My heart is broken, and happy at the same time. I'm crying while typing this. I can barely see. Thank you Allah for guiding us. Make us worthy of your guidance. Forgive us all our short comings. Thank you brother.
@ISA Masih Saviour Messiah ISA Masih Saviour Messiah if that is Isa As spoken word, then he is speaking of his disciple. the false teaching of paulus that give birth to the catholic rome.
I really appreciate you and your channel. You channel just happened to appear on my recommended list a couple days ago. I have really enjoyed all the videos so far. I am a not yet Muslim as some of my favorite speakers like Yusuf Estes like to say. I do know Islam is the truth and plan to convert soon. Keep up the great work and may Allah bless you.
You don't need a certificate or a fanfare to be a Muslim. If you already believe in the Oneness and uniqueness of Almighty God, believe in His Messengers and angels, believe in His revelations to us throughout the ages, and believe that He will judge our deeds in the Day of Judgement then you are already a Muslim in eyes of your Creator. Just go to a mosque near you and learn how to read the Quran in Arabic and pray with those in the mosque.
Hello Kevin! I’m so happy and excited for you 😊May I suggest something? I have been following an account on Tumblr called Reverthelp. Their Instagram is revert_help. Their website is:reverthelp.com/ I met a couple of recent revert friends. They tell me about the struggles they go through such as finding reliable sources, telling their families, changing their lifestyles etc.They mentioned to me that the admin is a professional life coach, who helps people during their process, answers their questions and provides them with reliable Islamic sources.They are very happy with the support they get from them and they have a very nice community. Seeing your comment, I thought they might be very helpful for you as well. 😊 Do hit them up, Best ^^
Salam Asma. Sorry for not responding to you for so long. I actually just took my shahada today with Br. Sabeel. Thank you for asking about me and may Allah bless you always.
Salam brother. Yr story is so touching especially the part where suddenly u realised u havent read the Quran yet. Where did that come from? From Allah of coz. Im an old man of 54. I changed when i was 19. Though a born Muslim, i really discovered Islam after i left school which is a military academy in my country. That eventually brought me to Egypt and i stayed there for 10 years. Did my haj alhamdulillah from Egypt. I hope u will spread Islam in USA. I really believe u can do it akhi. مع السلامة
Masha’Allah love your path to Islam. I grew up an Army kid too. We were stationed in Aberdeen Proving Grounds back in the day. I can relate to your upbringing in a military community. Alhamdulilah for Islam. May Allah continue to guide you, raise your rank in this life and grant you Jannah Al Firdous in the next life. Ameen.
It is funny how many new Islam brothers and sisters say that they'd never thought of converting (or reverting) to Islam due to the stuff they heard in the media. Media is the source of all fitna if it isn't used in a correct way. Alhamdulillah, my brother. May Allah SWT preserves your imaan till Jannah. inshaaAllah ameen.
@Indrajit Aary why should I cry for broken idols? Try researching what else the pagans were doing in and around the Kaaba before you shed a tear for them sunshine.
I am a born Muslim from Saudi Arabia but what you reverts do when you become Muslims is heart touching for me and I really feel ashamed of myself because I know Arabic and I can learn a lot more from Islam. A lot of us born Muslim hardly remember Allah in our daily lives and hardly do the 5-time prayers. We stopped our Islam related learning at high school and never got deeper into this beautiful deen while you are trying to learn every little detail of Islam. I envy you "in a good way" for this spirit and may Allah accept your deeds brother Sajid. and please keep these Imaan-check videos coming, I am into that. May Allah increase our Iman and grant us Jannah. Ameen
I was born muslim, and early in my life i was probably even ashamed of my religion astugfarallah. But I feel so lucky as a 17 year old who grew up in the west, because after middle school I discovered my own religion and accepted it, and now that I’m a Junior I’m embracing Islam, and it made me like myself Subhanallah
السلام عليكم و رحمة الله والله as soon as you read the translation of the Fatiha I had tears in my eye. Even in English it did ! I'm a born Muslim Arab from Lebanon, the country. I'd absolutely love to meet you brother. This is the first time I hear you speak and I already like you in the cause of Allah.
Assalamualaikum ... I'm Etty from Indonesia ... I'm glad you got guidance from Allah SWT ... and hopefully your da'wah will get the results you want ... may Allah bless you always
@ISA Masih Saviour Messiah ISA Masih Saviour Messiahif u read your bible properly u will accpt islam..the thing is u havent research about bible .. lots of contradiction and error..how dare u say that jesus died on the cross ? 🤦♂️💔

Alhamdulillah I am so impressed by how you had such a searching and questioning mind in your quest for truth. Subhanallah brother. You didn't really mention your family's feelings, with regards to your acceptance of Islam.
@@SaajidLipham Assalamualaikum Brother, as Muslims, how do we use the Quran or Authentic Hadith to logically answer this question? : if Allaah is most loving, Al Wadood, and free of any need while everything needs Him, As-Shomad, why didn't He just create jins and humans like the angels, without freewill, unable of disobedience against Allaah, no test, nothing for jins and humans to prove among themselves wether they deserve heaven or hell or wether they can be better than angels or worse than animals, and put everything in heaven? barakAllaahu fiikum, JazakAllaahu khoir.

A truly amazing story, i got goosebumps all over my body listening to your story brother May Allah Grant you Jannah You really influenced me to listen to more of your videos I’m muslim but you made me a stronger Muslim
@ISA Masih Saviour Messiah ISA Masih Saviour Messiah 1. BIBLE SAYS ONLY FAITH IS IMPORTANT AND WORK IS NOT ... Galatians 2:16 King James Version (KJV) 16 Knowing that a man is NOT justified by the WORKS of the law, but by the FAITH of Jesus Christ, even we have believed in Jesus Christ, that we might be justified by the faith of Christ, and NOT by the WORKS of the law: for by the works of the law shall no flesh be justified. BIBLE SAID FAITH WITHOUT WORK IS DEAD... James 2:14-26 14 What does it profit, my brethren, if a man says he has faith but has not works? Can his faith save him? 15 If a brother or sister is ill-clad and in lack of daily food, 16 and one of you says to them, “Go in peace, be warmed and filled,” without giving them the things needed for the body, what does it profit? 17 So faith by itself, if it has no works, is dead. 18 But some one will say, “You have faith and I have works.” Show me your faith apart from your works, and I by my works will show you my faith. 19 You believe that God is one; you do well. Even the demons believe-and shudder. 20 Do you want to be shown, you shallow man, that faith apart from works is barren? 21 Was not Abraham our father justified by works, when he offered his son Isaac upon the altar? 22 You see that faith was active along with his works, and faith was completed by works, 23 and the scripture was fulfilled which says, “Abraham believed God, and it was reckoned to him as righteousness”; and he was called the friend of God. 24 You see that a man is justified by works and not by faith alone. 25 And in the same way was not also Rahab the harlot justified by works when she received the messengers and sent them out another way? 26 For as the body apart from the spirit is dead, so faith apart from works is dead. WHICH OF THE TWO REFERENCES DO YOU BELIEVE IN??
@ISA Masih Saviour Messiah ISA Masih Saviour Messiah why even talk about Islam? Why jump the topic ? When you can't defend a contradiction in Bible you'll jump off the topic ? Lool...
@ISA Masih Saviour Messiah ISA Masih Saviour Messiah Allah Azzawajal the lord of the heavens and the earth besides whom there is noone worthy of worship. Created everything. What He creates first and what He creates second is none of our business. Because this doesn't change the fact that He created everything.
@ISA Masih Saviour Messiah ISA Masih Saviour Messiah 1. I asked you first, so you should reply then we proceed. 2. You tell me what He created first according to you? According to Islam among the things which Allah has informed us about ' Allah created the throne at first'. And what Allah created before that we don't know cause Allah says in the Quran surah Nahl ayat 8 يخلق ما لا تعلمون He creates that which you (humans) have no knowledge of. What He created before that we don't know.
@ISA Masih Saviour Messiah ISA Masih Saviour Messiah you have no answers to my question... I see that... Lol... I hope so your biblical Paul (the one who wrote your current day Bible) might have given you knowledge of what was created first... Enlighten us.
Finally I came across your converting story . I just want to say that I was born and raised Muslim ie I didn't struggle to find the truth however listening to your heart melting story reminds me how blessed I was to belong to a Muslim family living in a Muslim community and practicing my religion freely. I enjoyed it and it strongly confirms the fact that Allah guides whom he pleases. Your conversion to islam is extremely beneficial because of the great job you're doing, pertinent messages, high quality of giving daawa, simple but powerful speech...Mash Allah brother Saajid I hope my son will be as pious as you are one day. May Allah bless you and guide us all to what's best for us. I'm following you from Algeria.
Damn mashallah brother I came from tiktok and wow you got me interested, Your way of speaking is hella calm and eloquent. Bouta send to my catholic homies
"Praise to Allah, who has guided us to this; and we would never have been guided if Allah had not guided us." [Al-A'raf, 43] barakallahu fiik brother, that explains why u have a good editing and production quality of your video/audio.
SubhanAllah, I went through same feelings when I reverted, about thinking it was so clear that for sure my whole family would see that and accept Islam as I did, but I soon realized that I was wrong, and not everyone will recognize the truth, just as brother Saajid said Allah guides whomever He wills, Alhumdulillah, He chose to guide us and not leave us in the dark place that we were in.
Mashalla to you brother I have so much respect for u big shout out from your Muslim brother Mohammed from the uk I hope allah gives you a place in jannah in the heavens
Beautiful, touching story. You were eloquent clear and to the point. The way you told your story was easy to follow. You seem genuine, level-headed, unbiased, intelligent and pure of heart. You strike me as a person who is deep and not shallow. A person who ponders, observes and tries to understand the world around him. I believe humans have the capacity to stop and truly try to ask direct questions, without bias, to try and discover the truth about themselves and the world around them but most people lack the courage to think independently. The courage to stand out. I believe the qualities in your character may have been one of the reasons you received guidance. I think this was a masterpiece. You are a great asset to Islam. May Allah continue to support you on your path.
"if you really believed that people are going to Heaven, why are you so miserable when someone dies?" Brother Saajid you hit the nail on the head there! I LOVE your revert story and as an American revert to Islam myself there are naturally some parallels in that I was also searching all my life. As for the professors...I'm sure you realize now that most of the western governments, as well as educators and celebrities/entertainers are all in league with Shaytans. This is why they despise religion...Islam most of all. You and others inspire me and help me keep my Iman bright. I should share my own revert story on my channel one of these days inshallah. Thank you for all you do...keep it coming! #jazakAllah
26:31 - as soon as I started reading this book I knew that this was from the Creator 26:53 - as clear as the sun was bright, I knew ... I knew as clear as day ... this was from God. This was from the Creator. This is what I had been looking for all of these years. I knew for a fact. There was no doubt in my mind whatsoever. .. There was no doubt in my mind that this was the truth.
@@fizzycrush4021 just a few questions though. Didn't man make the pages of the book? Didn't man print the book? Isn't it man that told you Allah wrote the book? Respectfully, how do you know?
@@bobbilderson8556 how else would you know? If it was directly from Allah to angles to us we wouldn’t feel related, that’s why prophets-whom are nearly imperfect humans- were their to make the message reachable.
@@ker_at6814 There are other ways to see if something is real or not- but religion has grown up to be very tricky to prove or disprove. If a religion was started that instead of basing its truth on faith, based its truth on evidence-- then that religion would fail to exist rather quickly. People in it would disprove their leader's claims with evidence. That's why no such religion of evidence survives to this day. Only religions that say that there is an invisible man- who you can't prove exists except for a weird feeling, and even then you have to take it on faith. But in the end, one way I know that most people's truth seeking faculty is faulty when it comes to religion IS that they almost always seem to have the religion that they grew up with. Every religion says that it is true- but unless we want to adopt a relativist stance (because the religions make conflicting claims about reality after death, etc) then we have to accept that the majority of the world is wrong about their religious impressions. We can snidely point and mock them and think "Oh how stupid the Christians (or Jews) are! They have been deceived! They think their religion is true based on their feelings, but they are wrong." But honestly, we are all doing exactly the same thing in our religion. Now of course this doesn't mean that "no religion is true". It just means that we should be extra careful ourselves in claiming that we found the truth through faith, when we know how faulty humanity's 'religious truth finding apparatus' is. The test I like to run is: If you were randomly born into a different religion in the world, would you honestly be able to find your way back to your own religion? If you were born and raised in Mormonism instead of Islam in rural Utah instead of wherever you grew up-- do you honestly think you would believe in Islam (or whatever other religion?). If everyone you knew was Mormon, if you never learned about the Quran except that it's something that you heard terrorists read--- if you think you would really believe then you are deceiving yourself. If you are the type of person to study every other religion and go contrary to your own parent's and culture's practices: then sure. You might be the type to find your way back to Islam somehow. However, I doubt that anyone who has any kind of traditional religious fervor will investigate with an open mind. I mean, how can we? When our parents have dictated and inoculated us with religious dogma from the moment we could speak. How are we actually making a choice? We make a choice when consider the evidence ourselves. When we study all other religions and give religions that are not our own more of a chance than our own because of our inherent bias. Does this task seem impossible? Yeah, kind of. Most people plug their ears and close their eyes because they just want to keep doing what they've always done. I've seen it again and again. Religion is about community and convincing ourselves that we definitely have meaning in life. I don't know the answer to if we do or don't, but I do know that life is beautiful and mysterious. I like it that way. I like just looking up at the stars and feeling a reverent wonder at the whole mystery that I am looking out of my own eyes in this moment-. That the universe is here for me to see and that I'm here to see it. It gives me chills, and moments like holding my daughter or seeing sunlight peaking through the shades, lighting up the normally invisible nebula of dust flowing around us-- those moments give meaning to my life. I don't need to tell myself that a magic ghost will pop out of me when I die and give me the chance to finally talk to my grandparents. I talk to them now. I live life as if I don't get a second chance. I don't need religion to scare me into being a good boy and not be rude to other people. No. I am good to other people not to avoid hellfire. I am good to them because I care about them. I care about them. I believe they are people worth caring about. And if there is a god out there ready to punish me for withholding judgement- for fence sitting, then I suppose that I will boil in hell forever- and I will wonder why he ever creating a thing like me- that could be so happy and fulfilled in a deep/rich sense during life- but still be doing the wrong thing. Anyways. This is probably too much to read or too different from your current beliefs to actually consider. I get that. I was/am the same way. But if you slowly push yourself to be in someone else's shoes- then you'll enrich your understanding of the world (especially those people that are "so stupid" that you "can't see why they would ever believe that". Usually in those cases, you're missing something important.)
@@bobbilderson8556 actually religion does it all because people are different and have different ways to motivate them to do good to people, some are like you do it because they care about other people which is absolutely beautiful. and we have a Hadith that says in its meaning”no one will fully be a believer until they love to their brother-basically the people around you-what they love to themselves”, on the other hand there are some folks that would not be so touched by this Hadith and will not buy the whole idea that is why there is this scaring from hellfire to make some people stop hurting others. I read the whole comment and i understand. What we actually believe that if Allah-god- didn’t want me to know this religion i would not even barely try to seek a guidance from him; and being a Muslim was not my choice nor my parents, it was Allah who wanted me hence made me weather born muslim or reverted muslim, i have no power over that. So i thank him every chance i get to remember that i shouldn’t take my religion for granted.
Ma shaa ALLAH very good explanation of fitrah and believing in one God ALHAMDULILLAH muslims who are leaving Islam should watch this and also Samanthas video on how she and her family came to Islam .Its time muslims woke up ALLAH says in the Quran that He will take this religion from us and give it to somebody else all these amazing revert stories are proof May ALLAH SWT guide us all and keep us steadfast on Siratal Mustaqeem and take us with Kalema on our lips and be pleased with us and may we try to be role models for others by our character and our good deeds as an Incentive to others In shaa ALLAH
Im I the only one who watch the last 10 min of this video everyday? I start my day watching the last 10 mins of the video. And it makes me emotional. I mean , it reminds me of that moment I experienced when I first read the Qur'an. When I first realised this is the.truth. ' I knew it was from god' the more I read it. Can you please make a video about Zamzam water?
Subhan Allah it just feels it was meant to be for you to be a muslim and Allah brought you closer to Him everytime what a blessing I pray that it reaches people who are lost just like you were in the beginning of your journey and I know that if Allah wants to guide someone He will guide them . Alhamdulillah
Subhanallah my brother i even say the same as you i mean just superficial reading will tell you this book is from GOD almighty without a doubt. Then the miricle is just unbelievable its a true miricle obviously its GOD words. People who dont know or see or dont understand what the Qur'an is really about are actually truly missing out on that chance of seeing or witnessing once in a lifetime a true miricle and what a real miricle is about and that is exactly the reality of the Quran the words of GOD. The quran is a masterpiece of art book mastering the art world its miraculous from every point of view witch ever angle your thinking and analysing this book from itll just suck your mind and heart in to it like a magnet and amaze you in a way you just wont find any words to describe it only the book can do that itself. The only way you can see that is you just have to read it with a open heart and pounder on the quran and reason with it just like haw GOD says in the quran..then do they not ponder upon the Qur'an or are there hearts locked up..47:24 of the quran and other places Allah mentions this you just read it with an open heart this book is proof of GOD its a masterpiece from the deserts of arabia. Just like alladin the real genie is the messanger of GOD Muhammad s.a.w and the miricle is the Quran. I think thats where they get their stories from and putit in that cartoon alladin coming from a desert aswell lol even the word genie comes from Arabia its an Arabian word... Only allah knows where they get it from Anyway jazakallah for your video bro lol this comment its for those reading comments inshallah i know you could've say this way better than me lol i got carried away i feel sad people dont know and it hurts even muslims aswell who dont have much knowledge and thats the case its so sad. May ALLAH reward you my brother i know your working in that feel thet need to know inshallah as well as the world.
46 people liked your comment, i would edit this "part the real genie is the messenger of GOD Muhammad" It would be better to use another adjective for our prophets.. but I know you did not mean it in a bad way. Lots of love and may God guide us all. Your name is beautiful arabic name. Salam I will delete this comment once you read it.. salam
The aladin story is a tale, it is a small portion of the " a thousand and one night" book.. It is said that it is a collection from bed time stories from india, the middle East and such. It has also one narration that when the sultan from the ottoman empire had à concubine in his room once, the concubine did not want to engage in the nightly activity so she came up with these bed time stories. It is fiction, not real. So to compare that to the Holy Quran and how people got inspired by that is false. SubhanAllah
Dear Sajjid Thank you for sharing ur story. I had very similar story in discovering the Fitra in me and chasing it. The only difference that i was born as a muslim, but became a better muslim later on during my early 20's. Wish you all the best and guidance from الله .

Arabs consider themselves Caucasian and say the worst muslim is a black slave with a limb missing. Mo called ethiopians raisin heads. How can anyone follow the teachings of a slave trader? Mo said one Arab is worth two blacks when trading unequal live stock. Great man you follow if you were a white supremacist I would understand.
@@masterroshi8070 I've listened to a few of his talk shows. He's a great liar. He takes verses out of context and deliberately misinterpret hadith. He and Fadi are the same kind of liars.
@@joschedgington9045 'raisin head' is as inoffensive as 'negro' just a couple of decades ago. The whole idea of the hadith is to remind Muslims to obey their leader even if he's a black person, which means DO NOT LOOK at his colour. But foolish islamophobes focus on 'raisin head'.
Alhamdulellah , may Allah the Almighty keep you and all of us on his straight path ((....And they will say, "Praise to Allah , who has guided us to this; and we would never have been guided if Allah had not guided us.

Assalamu alaikum my brother. I am a Muslim from Turkey since my birth but I want to say something. As I see, the Muslims who converted to Islam and were non-Muslims before are better than us and I am seeing this situation on you. May Allah bless you!
That's true.....reverted Muslims study islam... Then embrace islam..but we born muslims don't appreciate our religion and study it.....i think that's the reason.....
Don't generalize about all Muslims based on what you see from your community, turkey is secular country not muslim country, most of the turks are muslim in name only , they have weak faith and don't pray or practice Islamic rituals (I mean the secularists) . Many muslims have strong faith and they practice Islamic rituals, there is still goodness in our ummat. 🙏🏻
Masha Allah loved listening to your story. I have learned so much from your videos and I use to share it with friends. Your are a huge blessing for our ummah masha Allah. May Allah bless you.
Mashallah Brother, Welcome to a life that teaches you how to be more patient, steadfast, empathetic, humble, studious, insightful and much more. may Allah ﷻ fill the life of your Life with endless happy moments, countless wonderful surprises, and infinite success!

@Stian Slatlem No it doesn't bring up the verse. Don't just make a claim without evidence.
Born muslim here from Beirut. Never truly appreciated my religion until about 1-2 years ago and when you started with the Fatiha, I literally got chills and cried. SubhanAllah what you had to go through to get to the truth and I had the Quran in my home all these years and didn’t even read it. Truly Allah guides who He pleases, and we must do our part in spreading the message. JazakaAllah Khayran. Salam brother Saajid ✌🏻 ❤️
I just started watching this video and I wanted to tell a bit about my childhood as far as religion is concerned. I was born in Albania and at that time Albania was a communist country. Religion was totally prohibited. Mosques and churches were destroyed by the communist government. There was only one mosque left in the capital and that was left as a cultural symbol. It's doors were closed and no one entered in. One day I was passing in front of this mosque and I asked my father (god bless his soul) what is that? And he told me it is a mosque. I asked again: What is mosque? He said: it is a place where you pray. I am sure he has explained it to me, but that's all I remember. My father used to be an Immam before the religion was prohibited in Albania. So, most of the people were afraid to express their believes in public. We did not really have a notion of god at that time, our parents did know about god, but we as children no. We were born while communism ruled. So, we only new about the party and it's deeds.
Now, I remember this very clearly. I was still lying in bed at that time and a thought came in my mind, what actually happens when we die? We live in this world, we accumulate wealth, but then we die and then we have nothing. That looked very strange that we live this life without a purpose. Then later I discovered that there is a hereafter. When communism fell down, we started learning about Islam and I started going to mosques to learn something. I found a bit difficult to grasp all those Arabic words in the beginning. One thing has discouraged me a bit during my time learning about Islam that I saw many Arabs coming to Albania and they did not look very pious even though they were preaching about Islam. They had opened these Islamic Organisations and they did not leave behind a very good taste with the population. I did not like them either, to be honest or the people who pretended to be Muslims as they were stealing around. That discouraged me a lot. I have returned back to Islam, Allhamdulilah and I hope Allah will keep me in the right path. However, I don't tend to tell people a lot that I am a Muslim for the fear that some of my deeds might discourage other people as I was discouraged ones. We are humans and we definitely make sins, knowingly or unknowingly.
PS: as a foot note I want to say this, that I have nothing against arabs or any other people. Just because some people are bad or behave badly does not mean that the rest are bad as well.
However, we have to keep in mind that a rotten apple spoils the whole barrel, if you know what I mean.
I live near Albania. Let us be stronger in the Deen. Allahuakbar
So interesting story. May I help you in Quran if you have any problems in recitation
Burre Ifort you have to know that no one is perfect to be a Muslim is to believe and try to pray your five prayers but as a Muslim the religion of Allah doesn’t belong to only you your friends deserve to know your family you need to preach if you are able to because you will never know they will and can except Islam
Burre Ifort Brother, your story is very interesting and Alhamdulillah Allah guides you to Islam.
What you say about Arabs is very irritating as I’m an Arab, but please note that they are not infallible. They make mistakes. And the only excuse I can find for them is that they came from a different culture that’s entirely Islamic, they don’t understand the cultural backgrounds of others, and they just think that you are Muslims and know everything about Islam and all what they need to do is just encourage you, sometimes harshly, to stick to the teachings of Islam. We need people who know the cultures of people who live under blasphemous regimes, and know how to get them back to worshiping Allah in the way that’s pleasing to Him. Thank you brother.
you should learn to ask questions more respectfully and you might get an answer
Interesting video, brother. I, too grew up in America in a Christian family Catholic in my case. I always believed in God as well but never felt a connection to the Catholic church or Christianity in general. I also can relate to you in the Jesus issue; It was always so difficult for me to see him as God/son of God. I wholeheartedly agree with you in the whole Christianity doesn't exist in America. In the United States, Christianity is essentially a social club, coffee shop and daycare. Christianity is on the decline and outside of the few fundamentalists in parts of the south and mid-west, Christians don't actually follow their scripture.
I, too have tried studying the bible both Catholic and Protestant versions. It really is confusing and does not make any sense like the Quran does. Many Christians in fact most of them do not believe the bible is the preserved infallible word of God. They see it as a self-help book and nothing more. I also understand what you mean about being objective in the search for the truth. I looked into Buddhism, Hindusim, Judaism and agnosticism before ever seriously looking into Islam.
I also served in the U.S. Military at height of the war in Iraq and they really brainwash you to hate Islam and Muslims. I really believed they were all terrorists and wanted to kill us. But at that point I still never read the Quran. It was not til I left the military that I read Quran and spoke to actual Muslims. I really like your channel and it is good to have a fellow American Muslim with a similar story let alone someone who is studying in Madina. Keep up the good work.
Beautiful, very interesting story you got yourself bro... thanks for sharing, much appreciated, jazakaAllahukhair.
no problem; may Allah guide us all.
Beautiful. This is Allah plan ,entering light into darkness, and darkness into light.

Master Roshi Stian Slatlem it doesn’t lies plz do ur research honey did you know in the idk bible that you lot can’t accept your original bible that women cannot speak up they are weak whereas in Islam they can also Master Roshi who is god? Is Jesus the son of Mary? Who made that happen? Is Jesus the begotten son?who is his father ?who did Jesus pray to on his knees calling out “oh god” in his language ? Why isn’t the Bible in Jesus language ? Why don’t xtians dress like Mary and Jesus ? Why do they go against the rule of showing 1 hair u myt aswel go bald or the rule of modesty ? And no sex bfr marriage ?is Jesus a servant of god?did Jesus die on the cross?so who resurrected him? Who sent the angel of death to him ? Who sent him up there 👆?who is god?does god have a beginning ? Who was born in Xmas?jesus prayed all the tine like is Muslims why don’t you lot do the same if you love Jesus? Or is it because you don’t know who Jesus prayed to?how many god are there ? Dyou believe in more than 1 god ?who is the father? Who is the son ? Am lost and also how many gods are ther in heaven? How come jesus was born after Adam? If Jesus is god wouldn’t he be creating Adam ?did your god only exist after Mary so what about before ? There was no soul on earth tho so how does that work I’ll tell you more points but it ain’t worth arguing with a religion who does the opposite of Mary and Jesus am sorry but Jesus and Mary look and act more of a Muslim than a christians hands down if they wer here’re Mary would be modest when wouldn’t dress like a nun hands down Jesus would I look liek a Muslim hands down jesus would never be seen in a pub hands down Mary would never be seen with no scarf tight clothes hands down Mary would never be seen with a preg belly bfr marriage hands down you wouldn’t see any of them talking to the opposite gender hands down they sousing celebrate Christmas or Easter hands down they wouldn’t even speak English or understand a bible that has been changed by law changing what you lot claim are gods words hands down non of you have memorized the whole bible like me us Muslims our Quran was memorized since the time it was sent out to us so no one can change it tell any Muslim they’d know the bearded in Quran Arab same language as our prophet peace be upon him you lot don’t even know the Bible in Jesus language also Jesus was mentioned 25!!!!! X in our quaran we have a whole let’s say chapter about Mary and her family her father his son Jesus and all we love Jesus we pray like them we fast liek them we fast more than 30 days a year ! We dress liek they we don’t believe ins ex before marriage we believe in modesty so next time you think about the hijab just know Mary is my role model Unlike you people who follow animals you claim that’s your god but don’t follow shit learn Jesus mother tongue learn how to dress like them learn how to pray like them memorize the so called bible go repent about mixing both genders because as Mary got older she was never seen moving with a man that’s why she’s called Virgin Mary also if Jesus died for our sins then why is he coming back ? Is it not enough ? Why do you believe in heaven and hell if you believe even if we kill rape suicide after not trusting your own god !!! In our religion suicide takes you to hell because that means you don’t believe in your created who created eveything you don’t have faith so ye you die a rapist you go heaven with the rest then? Then no it’s all a lie Bible is a lie it’s been changed because you people cannot accept in this modern day society to stop having sex before marriage to stop women from dressing half naked especially in summer I hope that when Jesus returns in Islam he didn’t die he’s alive and he will come back and he will defeat dajaal a powerful evil beast and the rest of satan followers who have sex before marriage who don’t believe in modesty and correct the world and I feel ashamed for when that time comes half the women here will be naked at the beach wearing bra and pants in ashamed he will see that people drink in the streets harming their bodies I am ashamed he will see Rapist?abuse ? Fraud ? And all sorts I am ashamed that he will see people celebrating Xmas so yah do your research honey please don’t go spreading false research hun the answer is clear to you read all this then talk .^

Once I opened Quran for the first time, and read Al Fatihah, I immediately recognized it as the truth. I remember also being ecstatic, running through the house, trying to clean it and make it beautiful for my mom who was about to come home. I was just so excited I finally found the truth. Recognizing the truth is such a blessing alhamdulillah but yes Allah guides whom He wills. Alhamdulillah for the guidance.

This might appear pedantic but I disagree with the term "second generation convert", just because my eighth ancestor converted doesn't make me a nineth generation muslim (I don't know at which point my ancestory was the the conversion but you get my point).
And Just because you're white doesn't make you unusual to be a Muslim, if we want to fix how people perceive us we need to first fix how we perceive ourselves.
We should not be people of a certain ethnicity or ethnicities, we should be a people of good demeaner and good character

I literally just started to read and listen to the Quran born catholic converted in to a Christian was even baptized but yet had no real connection as I do believe in god with all my heart and soul just never felt a connection with that being said the Quran just makes more sense to me and hits me the way no other religion has without no 100 pure knowledge in Islam and the Quran cause like I said I just started to read it just feels like this is my true calling and I want to learn more about it and be about it

What is killing Bees is now a faulty immune system caused by toxins. Manmade toxins are also damaging humans.

@ISA Masih Saviour Messiah ISA Masih Saviour Messiah we don’t believe in the authenticity of the current day bible lol how are you using the bible to defend christianity
"For whomever Allah wants good, he gives him the understanding of the Deen." Indeed Allah chosen you and guide you through the right religion. May Allah keep you in the right path and guide your love ones.
عن أبي هريرة - رضي الله عنه - قال : قال النبي - صلى الله عليه وسلم - : يقول الله تعالى : ( أنا عند ظن عبدي بي ، وأنا معه إذا ذكرني ، فإن ذكرني في نفسه ذكرته في نفسي ، وإن ذكرني في ملإ ذكرته في ملإ خير منهم ، وإن تقرب إلي بشبر تقربت إليه ذراعا ، وإن تقرب إلي ذراعا تقربت إليه باعا ، وإن أتاني يمشي أتيته هرولة ) رواه البخاري ومسلم .

Abu Hurairah (May Allah be pleased with him) reported:
The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said, "Allah the Exalted says: 'I am as my slave expects me to be, and I am with him when he remembers Me. If he remembers Me inwardly, I will remember him inwardly, and if he remembers Me in an assembly, I will remember him in a better assembly (i.e., in the assembly of angels)."
Abu Hurayra reported that the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, "Allah does not thank the person who does not thank people." And I thank U for sharing your experience really my heart fluttering when someone inter islam because
The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said, "He who calls others to follow the Right Guidance will have a reward equal to the reward of those who follow him, without their reward being diminished in any respect on that account."
I converted to islam from jainism.
May Allah bless you

I really appreciate you and your channel. You channel just happened to appear on my recommended list a couple days ago. I have really enjoyed all the videos so far. I am a not yet Muslim as some of my favorite speakers like Yusuf Estes like to say. I do know Islam is the truth and plan to convert soon. Keep up the great work and may Allah bless you.
You don't need a certificate or a fanfare to be a Muslim. If you already believe in the Oneness and uniqueness of Almighty God, believe in His Messengers and angels, believe in His revelations to us throughout the ages, and believe that He will judge our deeds in the Day of Judgement then you are already a Muslim in eyes of your Creator. Just go to a mosque near you and learn how to read the Quran in Arabic and pray with those in the mosque.
Bro take your Shahada !! You never know when you will die , no one ever knows that
did your reverted yet brother?
Hello Kevin! I’m so happy and excited for you 😊May I suggest something?
I have been following an account on Tumblr called Reverthelp. Their Instagram is revert_help. Their website is:reverthelp.com/
I met a couple of recent revert friends. They tell me about the struggles they go through such as finding reliable sources, telling their families, changing their lifestyles etc.They mentioned to me that the admin is a professional life coach, who helps people during their process, answers their questions and provides them with reliable Islamic sources.They are very happy with the support they get from them and they have a very nice community. Seeing your comment, I thought they might be very helpful for you as well. 😊 Do hit them up, Best ^^
Salam Asma. Sorry for not responding to you for so long. I actually just took my shahada today with Br. Sabeel. Thank you for asking about me and may Allah bless you always.
Salam brother. Yr story is so touching especially the part where suddenly u realised u havent read the Quran yet. Where did that come from? From Allah of coz. Im an old man of 54. I changed when i was 19. Though a born Muslim, i really discovered Islam after i left school which is a military academy in my country. That eventually brought me to Egypt and i stayed there for 10 years. Did my haj alhamdulillah from Egypt. I hope u will spread Islam in USA. I really believe u can do it akhi.
مع السلامة
@Indrajit Aary indeed on the contrary is true
Masha’Allah love your path to Islam. I grew up an Army kid too. We were stationed in Aberdeen Proving Grounds back in the day. I can relate to your upbringing in a military community. Alhamdulilah for Islam. May Allah continue to guide you, raise your rank in this life and grant you Jannah Al Firdous in the next life. Ameen.
Ameen
It is funny how many new Islam brothers and sisters say that they'd never thought of converting (or reverting) to Islam due to the stuff they heard in the media. Media is the source of all fitna if it isn't used in a correct way.
Alhamdulillah, my brother. May Allah SWT preserves your imaan till Jannah. inshaaAllah ameen.
Dear brother, I cried listening to your story. Thank you for sharing it. May All be pleased with you.
@Indrajit Aary why should I cry for broken idols? Try researching what else the pagans were doing in and around the Kaaba before you shed a tear for them sunshine.
I am a born Muslim from Saudi Arabia but what you reverts do when you become Muslims is heart touching for me and I really feel ashamed of myself because I know Arabic and I can learn a lot more from Islam.
A lot of us born Muslim hardly remember Allah in our daily lives and hardly do the 5-time prayers. We stopped our Islam related learning at high school and never got deeper into this beautiful deen while you are trying to learn every little detail of Islam. I envy you "in a good way" for this spirit and may Allah accept your deeds brother Sajid.
and please keep these Imaan-check videos coming, I am into that.
May Allah increase our Iman and grant us Jannah. Ameen
I was lost from age 15-21 and know finally came back to Islam and hope Allah forgive me I wanna save money and inshallah go to Saudi Arabia

I was born muslim, and early in my life i was probably even ashamed of my religion astugfarallah. But I feel so lucky as a 17 year old who grew up in the west, because after middle school I discovered my own religion and accepted it, and now that I’m a Junior I’m embracing Islam, and it made me like myself Subhanallah
Even worse in India

I'm a born Muslim Arab from Lebanon, the country. I'd absolutely love to meet you brother. This is the first time I hear you speak and I already like you in the cause of Allah.
@Ertugrul not really. I mean, sure there are Arab athiests but it's not like a phenomenon where Arabs are leaving the faith.
I too had tears in my eyes. The majesty of Al-Fatiha. I can only imagine how it must feel when someone reads it the first time. God’s words.

BIBLE SAYS ONLY FAITH IS IMPORTANT AND WORK IS NOT ...
Galatians 2:16
King James Version (KJV)
16 Knowing that a man is NOT justified
by the WORKS of the law, but by the
FAITH of Jesus Christ, even we have
believed in Jesus Christ, that we might
be justified by the faith of Christ, and
NOT by the WORKS of the law: for by the
works of the law shall no flesh be
justified.
BIBLE SAID FAITH WITHOUT WORK IS DEAD...
James 2:14-26
14 What does it profit, my brethren, if a
man says he has faith but has not
works? Can his faith save him?
15 If a brother or sister is ill-clad and in lack of
daily food,
16 and one of you says to
them, “Go in peace, be warmed and
filled,” without giving them the things
needed for the body, what does it
profit?
17 So faith by itself, if it has no
works, is dead.
18 But some one will say, “You have
faith and I have works.” Show me your
faith apart from your works, and I by my
works will show you my faith.
19 You
believe that God is one; you do well.
Even the demons believe-and
shudder.
20 Do you want to be shown,
you shallow man, that faith apart from
works is barren?
21 Was not Abraham
our father justified by works, when he
offered his son Isaac upon the altar?
22 You see that faith was active along
with his works, and faith was completed
by works,
23 and the scripture was
fulfilled which says, “Abraham believed
God, and it was reckoned to him as
righteousness”; and he was called the
friend of God.
24 You see that a man is
justified by works and not by faith
alone.
25 And in the same way was not
also Rahab the harlot justified by works
when she received the messengers and
sent them out another way?
26 For as
the body apart from the spirit is dead,
so faith apart from works is dead.
WHICH OF THE TWO REFERENCES DO YOU BELIEVE IN??
@ISA Masih Saviour Messiah ISA Masih Saviour Messiah why even talk about Islam? Why jump the topic ? When you can't defend a contradiction in Bible you'll jump off the topic ?
Lool...
@ISA Masih Saviour Messiah ISA Masih Saviour Messiah Allah Azzawajal the lord of the heavens and the earth besides whom there is noone worthy of worship. Created everything. What He creates first and what He creates second is none of our business. Because this doesn't change the fact that He created everything.
@ISA Masih Saviour Messiah ISA Masih Saviour Messiah
1. I asked you first, so you should reply then we proceed.
2. You tell me what He created first according to you?
According to Islam among the things which Allah has informed us about ' Allah created the throne at first'.
And what Allah created before that we don't know cause Allah says in the Quran surah Nahl ayat 8
يخلق ما لا تعلمون
He creates that which you (humans) have no knowledge of.
What He created before that we don't know.
@ISA Masih Saviour Messiah ISA Masih Saviour Messiah you have no answers to my question... I see that... Lol...
I hope so your biblical Paul (the one who wrote your current day Bible) might have given you knowledge of what was created first... Enlighten us.
Finally I came across your converting story . I just want to say that I was born and raised Muslim ie I didn't struggle to find the truth however listening to your heart melting story reminds me how blessed I was to belong to a Muslim family living in a Muslim community and practicing my religion freely. I enjoyed it and it strongly confirms the fact that Allah guides whom he pleases. Your conversion to islam is extremely beneficial because of the great job you're doing, pertinent messages, high quality of giving daawa, simple but powerful speech...Mash Allah brother Saajid I hope my son will be as pious as you are one day. May Allah bless you and guide us all to what's best for us. I'm following you from Algeria.
Damn mashallah brother I came from tiktok and wow you got me interested, Your way of speaking is hella calm and eloquent. Bouta send to my catholic homies
"Praise to Allah, who has guided us to this; and we would never have been guided if Allah had not guided us." [Al-A'raf, 43] barakallahu fiik brother, that explains why u have a good editing and production quality of your video/audio.
Read Quran everyday and never ignore your five daily prayers.....
SubhanAllah, I went through same feelings when I reverted, about thinking it was so clear that for sure my whole family would see that and accept Islam as I did, but I soon realized that I was wrong, and not everyone will recognize the truth, just as brother Saajid said Allah guides whomever He wills, Alhumdulillah, He chose to guide us and not leave us in the dark place that we were in.
Subhan Allah!! What an amazing story. Welcome to Islam brother. No doubt, Blessed are those whom Allah guides. Alhamdo lillah!!
Mashalla to you brother I have so much respect for u big shout out from your Muslim brother Mohammed from the uk I hope allah gives you a place in jannah in the heavens
Beautiful, touching story. You were eloquent clear and to the point. The way you told your story was easy to follow. You seem genuine, level-headed, unbiased, intelligent and pure of heart. You strike me as a person who is deep and not shallow. A person who ponders, observes and tries to understand the world around him.
I believe humans have the capacity to stop and truly try to ask direct questions, without bias, to try and discover the truth about themselves and the world around them but most people lack the courage to think independently. The courage to stand out.
I believe the qualities in your character may have been one of the reasons you received guidance.
I think this was a masterpiece. You are a great asset to Islam. May Allah continue to support you on your path.
The prayer he mentioned, I pray a similar one every night!
Sir your story really blew me away. May Allah Almighty fill you life and here after with Ease and Happiness. Assallamualikum!
"if you really believed that people are going to Heaven, why are you so miserable when someone dies?" Brother Saajid you hit the nail on the head there! I LOVE your revert story and as an American revert to Islam myself there are naturally some parallels in that I was also searching all my life. As for the professors...I'm sure you realize now that most of the western governments, as well as educators and celebrities/entertainers are all in league with Shaytans. This is why they despise religion...Islam most of all. You and others inspire me and help me keep my Iman bright. I should share my own revert story on my channel one of these days inshallah. Thank you for all you do...keep it coming! #jazakAllah
26:31 - as soon as I started reading this book I knew that this was from the Creator 26:53 - as clear as the sun was bright, I knew ... I knew as clear as day ... this was from God. This was from the Creator. This is what I had been looking for all of these years. I knew for a fact. There was no doubt in my mind whatsoever. .. There was no doubt in my mind that this was the truth.
Masha Allah brother because it is the word directly from Allah SWT without man's intervention
@@fizzycrush4021 just a few questions though.
Didn't man make the pages of the book?
Didn't man print the book?
Isn't it man that told you Allah wrote the book?
Respectfully, how do you know?
@@bobbilderson8556 how else would you know? If it was directly from Allah to angles to us we wouldn’t feel related, that’s why prophets-whom are nearly imperfect humans- were their to make the message reachable.
@@ker_at6814 There are other ways to see if something is real or not- but religion has grown up to be very tricky to prove or disprove.
If a religion was started that instead of basing its truth on faith, based its truth on evidence-- then that religion would fail to exist rather quickly. People in it would disprove their leader's claims with evidence.
That's why no such religion of evidence survives to this day. Only religions that say that there is an invisible man- who you can't prove exists except for a weird feeling, and even then you have to take it on faith.
But in the end, one way I know that most people's truth seeking faculty is faulty when it comes to religion IS that they almost always seem to have the religion that they grew up with.
Every religion says that it is true- but unless we want to adopt a relativist stance (because the religions make conflicting claims about reality after death, etc) then we have to accept that the majority of the world is wrong about their religious impressions.
We can snidely point and mock them and think "Oh how stupid the Christians (or Jews) are! They have been deceived! They think their religion is true based on their feelings, but they are wrong." But honestly, we are all doing exactly the same thing in our religion.
Now of course this doesn't mean that "no religion is true". It just means that we should be extra careful ourselves in claiming that we found the truth through faith, when we know how faulty humanity's 'religious truth finding apparatus' is.
The test I like to run is: If you were randomly born into a different religion in the world, would you honestly be able to find your way back to your own religion?
If you were born and raised in Mormonism instead of Islam in rural Utah instead of wherever you grew up-- do you honestly think you would believe in Islam (or whatever other religion?). If everyone you knew was Mormon, if you never learned about the Quran except that it's something that you heard terrorists read--- if you think you would really believe then you are deceiving yourself.
If you are the type of person to study every other religion and go contrary to your own parent's and culture's practices: then sure. You might be the type to find your way back to Islam somehow.
However, I doubt that anyone who has any kind of traditional religious fervor will investigate with an open mind.
I mean, how can we? When our parents have dictated and inoculated us with religious dogma from the moment we could speak.
How are we actually making a choice?
We make a choice when consider the evidence ourselves. When we study all other religions and give religions that are not our own more of a chance than our own because of our inherent bias.
Does this task seem impossible? Yeah, kind of. Most people plug their ears and close their eyes because they just want to keep doing what they've always done. I've seen it again and again.
Religion is about community and convincing ourselves that we definitely have meaning in life.
I don't know the answer to if we do or don't, but I do know that life is beautiful and mysterious. I like it that way. I like just looking up at the stars and feeling a reverent wonder at the whole mystery that I am looking out of my own eyes in this moment-. That the universe is here for me to see and that I'm here to see it.
It gives me chills, and moments like holding my daughter or seeing sunlight peaking through the shades, lighting up the normally invisible nebula of dust flowing around us-- those moments give meaning to my life.
I don't need to tell myself that a magic ghost will pop out of me when I die and give me the chance to finally talk to my grandparents.
I talk to them now. I live life as if I don't get a second chance.
I don't need religion to scare me into being a good boy and not be rude to other people. No. I am good to other people not to avoid hellfire. I am good to them because I care about them. I care about them. I believe they are people worth caring about.
And if there is a god out there ready to punish me for withholding judgement- for fence sitting, then I suppose that I will boil in hell forever- and I will wonder why he ever creating a thing like me- that could be so happy and fulfilled in a deep/rich sense during life- but still be doing the wrong thing.
Anyways. This is probably too much to read or too different from your current beliefs to actually consider. I get that. I was/am the same way. But if you slowly push yourself to be in someone else's shoes- then you'll enrich your understanding of the world (especially those people that are "so stupid" that you "can't see why they would ever believe that". Usually in those cases, you're missing something important.)
@@bobbilderson8556 actually religion does it all because people are different and have different ways to motivate them to do good to people, some are like you do it because they care about other people which is absolutely beautiful. and we have a Hadith that says in its meaning”no one will fully be a believer until they love to their brother-basically the people around you-what they love to themselves”, on the other hand there are some folks that would not be so touched by this Hadith and will not buy the whole idea that is why there is this scaring from hellfire to make some people stop hurting others. I read the whole comment and i understand. What we actually believe that if Allah-god- didn’t want me to know this religion i would not even barely try to seek a guidance from him; and being a Muslim was not my choice nor my parents, it was Allah who wanted me hence made me weather born muslim or reverted muslim, i have no power over that. So i thank him every chance i get to remember that i shouldn’t take my religion for granted.
awsme man love the way u explained it...increased my imaan love from pakistan
Your story has given me chill!
May Allah SWT bless you
Ma shaa ALLAH very good explanation of fitrah and believing in one God ALHAMDULILLAH muslims who are leaving Islam should watch this and also Samanthas video on how she and her family came to Islam .Its time muslims woke up ALLAH says in the Quran that He will take this religion from us and give it to somebody else all these amazing revert stories are proof May ALLAH SWT guide us all and keep us steadfast on Siratal Mustaqeem and take us with Kalema on our lips and be pleased with us and may we try to be role models for others by our character and our good deeds as an Incentive to others In shaa ALLAH
Masha-Allah Brother. May Allah give you more knowledge for dawah in this life and accept you for Jannah in the next life.
Im I the only one who watch the last 10 min of this video everyday? I start my day watching the last 10 mins of the video. And it makes me emotional. I mean , it reminds me of that moment I experienced when I first read the Qur'an. When I first realised this is the.truth. ' I knew it was from god' the more I read it. Can you please make a video about Zamzam water?
Subhan Allah it just feels it was meant to be for you to be a muslim and Allah brought you closer to Him everytime what a blessing I pray that it reaches people who are lost just like you were in the beginning of your journey and I know that if Allah wants to guide someone He will guide them . Alhamdulillah
Subhanallah my brother i even say the same as you i mean just superficial reading will tell you this book is from GOD almighty without a doubt. Then the miricle is just unbelievable its a true miricle obviously its GOD words. People who dont know or see or dont understand what the Qur'an is really about are actually truly missing out on that chance of seeing or witnessing once in a lifetime a true miricle and what a real miricle is about and that is exactly the reality of the Quran the words of GOD. The quran is a masterpiece of art book mastering the art world its miraculous from every point of view witch ever angle your thinking and analysing this book from itll just suck your mind and heart in to it like a magnet and amaze you in a way you just wont find any words to describe it only the book can do that itself. The only way you can see that is you just have to read it with a open heart and pounder on the quran and reason with it just like haw GOD says in the quran..then do they not ponder upon the Qur'an or are there hearts locked up..47:24 of the quran and other places Allah mentions this you just read it with an open heart this book is proof of GOD its a masterpiece from the deserts of arabia. Just like alladin the real genie is the messanger of GOD Muhammad s.a.w and the miricle is the Quran. I think thats where they get their stories from and putit in that cartoon alladin coming from a desert aswell lol even the word genie comes from Arabia its an Arabian word... Only allah knows where they get it from Anyway jazakallah for your video bro lol this comment its for those reading comments inshallah i know you could've say this way better than me lol i got carried away i feel sad people dont know and it hurts even muslims aswell who dont have much knowledge and thats the case its so sad. May ALLAH reward you my brother i know your working in that feel thet need to know inshallah as well as the world.

What , i didnt get ur msg what got to do ala din with Mohammed pbuh please dont compare cartoons to any of my deen 😳
The aladin story is a tale, it is a small portion of the " a thousand and one night" book.. It is said that it is a collection from bed time stories from india, the middle East and such. It has also one narration that when the sultan from the ottoman empire had à concubine in his room once, the concubine did not want to engage in the nightly activity so she came up with these bed time stories. It is fiction, not real. So to compare that to the Holy Quran and how people got inspired by that is false. SubhanAllah

Jazaak-Allah khairun for sharing your story my brother in Islam.
I love you for the sake of Allah Subhaanhu Wa Ta'ala and inshaa-Allah I hope to one day meet you and do some effort for the pleasure of Allah Ta'ala.

ماشاء الله تبارك الله، قوله تعالى "فَمَن يُرِدِ اللَّهُ أنْ يَهْدِيَهُ يَشْرَحْ صَدْرَهُ لِلإسْلامِ" اسأل الله لك الثبات وان ينفع بك المسلمين والبشرية اجمع.

Subhan Allah, I came across ur videos accidently. The first time I saw you, I said to myself, O' Allah, he is a brother of Yosha Evans. May Allah bless you both and the whole Ummah.
@26:30 the moment he started speaking about his reaction reading the Quran, the hair on my hands stood up and my heart started beating fast. AlhamdulilAllah how Allah is so merciful to this brother who he guided so far away from the Muslim lands. I never met you brother but wAllahi seeing your face and hearing your voice soothes me MeshaAllah I love you in the sake of Allah.

Beautiful story. Please keep me in your duas. Im in my final years. May Allah bless you❤️
Your story made me cry. May Allah bless you and make it easy for you. Ameen.
Assalamu alaikum my brother. I am a Muslim from Turkey since my birth but I want to say something. As I see, the Muslims who converted to Islam and were non-Muslims before are better than us and I am seeing this situation on you. May Allah bless you!
I think many Muslims have very strong imaan and deen also. In my experience, most are.
That's true.....reverted Muslims study islam... Then embrace islam..but we born muslims don't appreciate our religion and study it.....i think that's the reason.....
Don't generalize about all Muslims based on what you see from your community, turkey is secular country not muslim country, most of the turks are muslim in name only , they have weak faith and don't pray or practice Islamic rituals (I mean the secularists) . Many muslims have strong faith and they practice Islamic rituals, there is still goodness in our ummat. 🙏🏻
MA SHA' ALLAH, I'm from Maryland too! My dad used to work at Fort Meade.
الحمدلله على نعمة الإسلام.
Al humdullah for blessing of Islam.
Masha Allah loved listening to your story. I have learned so much from your videos and I use to share it with friends. Your are a huge blessing for our ummah masha Allah. May Allah bless you.
May Allah bless you
Assalamuoalaikum
