Asalamu alaikum I am Meredith, an American Soldier, a Muslimah.
I'm performing my duty in Hijab and I'm proud.
Here is my journey of islam It all started when I was about 14-15 years old. I were still a Christian back then, but you see. The thing is, I never felt Christian. I always knew there were more out there. I always knew that some indescribable miracles where taken place, but we couldn't explain Them. Because there's more between Heaven and Earth.
When I got older, my former friend started to tell me and inform me about Islam. At first I was a bit scared. Not because I didn't believe it, because I did for the first time I even heard about Allah (subhanahu wa ta'ala) More because I was so amazed about what He did for us. What Allah created. Alhamdulilah! For the first time I knew that Allah excisted.
And for about almost 1 and a half year - 2 years ago, my friends family converted me to Islam.Walhamdulilah, the feeling I felt when I started saying: : "Ash- hadu an la ilaha ill Allah, Wa ash-hadu ana Muhammad ar-rasullallah." Ma shaa Allah!
I felt as if somebody jumped inside my body and cleaned my soul from all negativity and bad wipes. I felt as if I was filled with love and joy in a whole other level. You know. Too stunned for words. And there was bo words! But I can tell you one thing: The feeling is better than being in love with a person. Allahu Akbar!
I've never had this feeling before, and I'm becoming more practising now, which I am so thankfull for. Alhamdulilah!
My converted ukhti teached me how to make Salah and Wudu, and I'm so thankfull! The fact that the Creator wanted to guide me, and lead me on the right path! Alhamdulilah! And I can never say that enough. Allah subhana wa ta'ala is kareem, and He knows whats best for you. And the fact that He knew what is best for me. Ma shaa Allah. I couldn't be more grateful!La ilaha ila Allah!
Later on, I heard from a person who was close to me, that the person made dua'a to me, asking the most Merciful, the most Gracious and the most Kind about help. The person prayed from the heart for me to convert to Islam, and for me to follow the right path. Ma shaa Allah, Walhamdulilah, that was the most precious, most sweetest and the most beautiful thing one has ever done to me. That was the most touching moment in my life, and I'm so grateful that another person wants me to follow the right path. There was a time when I wasn't so sure about whether this was the right decision or choice, and back then I didn't realize that it was Shaytaan whispering in my ears, trying to convince me not to go back to his side. For a while he convinced me, but thanks to my converted ukhti, I'm now striving for Jannah, and like I said earlier: I haven't felt more me, more the person I was born to be and I've never felt more beautiful as now! Alhamdulillah!
May Allah grand all the people near me who helped me convert, who prayed for me, who had their faith in me and who helped me strive for Jannah and helped me follow the Righteous path.
May He strengthen my Imaan and help me through hard times. May He help me through my first time of Ramadan this year, and may He, Allah subhana wa ta'ala, help and guide all of us Muslimahs through this dunya and In shaa Allah help us all strive for Jannah. And may Allah subhana wa ta'ala show mercy to all your families and help you all through Ramadan.In shaa Allah we will get through Ramadan, and in shaa Allah we will all be rewarded with His mercy and beauty. Aameen!"
