I love being a Muslim because... itfeels deep in my mind and heart about our way of life, and thoughraised Muslim; I did my own research on Christianity, Judaism andIslam... Islam appealed to me more due to its closeness to Allah سبحانه وتعالىand the steps we had to do were much clearer since it was the prophetMuhammed (pbuh) we had to use as our role model... Islam is a simple,peaceful and understanding religion even though there are differencesof opinion on certain matters.
Qadr is the most importantthing I've learnt though seeking advice from Yusuf Estes who told usthat its not freewill but free choice... Qadr (fate) is written by Allahسبحانه وتعالى, but we still do have 'Free choice' not freewill... now Iunderstand the meaning and I will implement this into my life... Myfuture though planned by me (my personal preferences) I understand mydreams will change due to Qadr and free choice (Allah سبحانه وتعالى is the bestof planners) but at least I have a rough guide about what I plan toachieve and where. At the moment I'm concentrating on praying 5 timesdaily, Tajweed and Qur'an also learning Arabic, Gujarati and cooking...together with training and work/university.
For the past fewweeks I've been thinking very hard about my future and my Deen. I'vebeen having many dreams about death and my future life. My ambitions inlife were to learn Tajweed (for Qur'anic purposes), Arabic (forvisiting Arab countries), Gujarati (for marriage purposes) and cooking(for survival techniques) together with Qur'an and my Deen of Islam asa whole. Quite recently due to certain circumstances death has been onmy mind a lot and though it doesn't mean much to you, I'm quite afraidof the future and what it holds, not just for me but my family andfriends and the whole Ummah...
Seeing young religious Muslimcouples with their children really inspires me towards my Deen and tothis day I've helped many children world wide via Daw'ah.
Ma'asalaama
May Allah سبحانه وتعالى guide us all on the right path and grant everyone's wishes here and in the afterlife, AMEEN
