23 Years ago i was born and from there raised a non believer. I had amazing parents though always teaching me to be open minded, to respect others and to respect myself.

I always respected what people believed in i have always shown a genuine interest in all Faiths, sometimes i even wondered why i didn't have one of my own.

Aged 21 i met my Husband who is a Muslim man. We married very quickly which my family didn't understand, but accepted as they knew how happy he made me, i knew he was the one from the moment i first met him. He never forced Islam upon me or suggested i should convert, he never bashed my way of life or my families instead he showed me so much love that i had never felt before (still does)

The months went by and every day i watched my Husband pray five times a day without missing. I began feeling calm, peaceful and contempt watching him. Felt envious of his open heart and generosity to people who really needed it, from that, i fell in love with Islam.

I had a revelation on day, like a message from God, i felt so passionate and knew i wanted to be a Muslim. I felt so happy inside and cried once when i saw a young child reciting the Qu'ran so beautifully.

When Ramadan came i wanted to try fasting even though being instructed by my Husband that it is pointless for me to do so as i had not converted yet, i still wanted to do it, although no benefit would be made. I managed to last three weeks which i was proud of. I had never done anything like that before, something so special happened to me.

From then i wanted to embrace everything, learn everything, including learning Arabic prayers in two days..self taught. I was so eager to start. I read books on Islam, bought my robes and asked my Husband to take me to convert at the Mosque. When the day came i felt like i new woman. I took my first steps and spoke those sacred words, something happened to me, i can't explain it but it felt good.

Since then i pray every day five times a day without missing, if i am even late i feel ravished with guilt. My Husband and i had a special bond anyway but now it is amazing. I thank God everyday for choosing me, i thank my Husband everyday for coming into my life. Allah saved me, he saw the potential in me, he showed me how wonderful Islam is and the beauty it possesses

The moral of my story is that more and more English women are converting to Islam and proves from my story it is possible to break the stereotype, if you open your eyes you will see.

I would like to say i am proud to be amongst my Brothers and Sisters, more so during this special time.

I will like to wish you all Ramadan Mubarak, i hope your prayers are answered and sins are forgiven, much love and respect to you all.

Allahu Akbar

  24. Yes I'm really glad you are Muslim, and so you should be. Equally I am even more proud to be a Christian

  25. I am proud to be what I am, which is English and Christian, if you are proud to be a muslim why do you have to go around telling people or are you not sure, you will find those who are proud to have their religion do not normally go around trying to convince others how proud they are.

    always love and peace..

    and may allah guide , help and bless us all , amen..

    always love and peace brought by islam..

  27. Proud to be a believer in God.

  28. I myself am a Christian, though I am not particularly religious. However I am still proud to be one, and although I do not follow every word in the bible - I do believe in life after death, after all - who says which religion is right, if any?

    I also pray sometimes - though not to a strictly biblical god - I just pray to what I believe is a power we do not understand and may only understand in death.

    I am really happy that you have found so much fulfilment in Islam and I hope that you and your husband will enjoy a fantastic life together. I think overall open-mindedness is the key to a more fulfilled life, and respect and honour between all religions. I can never understand why we must destroy each other because of beliefs.

    It is a good thing to be proud of your religious background.

    Happy Ramadan!

  30. Omg Mashallah, You chose the right path,
