Islam has become my favorite religion... I find myself saying "if God wills it" whenever I feel confident and ready to defeat an obstacle, as well as the times I feel unconfident in my capabilities. It takes away the burden of fault, knowing that we can sometimes do everything right and still be given the experience of failure by Allah or God, so that we may be humbled or learn something of value. On that note, I have also taken to thanking God for everything, even the difficulties I face, because I know they are Gods way of folding my steel and sharpening my edge. It's the only religion I have gone as far as researching. It is a beautiful faith. I am not yet devoted enough or even good enough in my heart to call myself "Muslim" but the ideology behind it truly speaks to me.,(reply>), You are most welcome to join the belief of all the prophets. Your life is a limited test, don't waste it by procrastinating. And about your "I am not yet devoted enough" part - just jump on the train, Allah will help you in your journey ;),(reply>), Peace to you. <br><br>I accepted Islam 18/19 years ago. It was the best decision I ever made. <br><br>Don't think that you'll ever be perfect enough first before calling yourself a Muslim. One of the beautiful things about Islam is that we just seek sincere forgiveness from Allah when we make a sin or mistake. A trick of the devil is to make you think you're unworthy of Islam because you're sinful. <br><br>We will always be imperfect because we are not Allah. We just must get up and keep going. We must try our best and seek forgiveness when we mess up, that's all we can do as humans. <br><br>My 71 year old mother and her best friend of 51 years just became Muslim last year. They're absolutely content with Islam. They've learned to pray and one of them is even reading in the Arabic language already. Islam is for everyone. <br><br>If you believe in One God and that the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ is Allah’s messenger then you say that and you're Muslim. You'll learn how to pray after that and you'll really see with time and sincerity, in sha Allah, how your desire to be close to The Creator will increase. There's an indescribable serenity that comes from surrendering and centering one's life towards the Creator. <br><br>The Muslim Lantern on YouTube has live Q&amp;A sessions if you have any questions about Islam or if you're interested in watching more about Islam.,(reply>), @T C Thank you so much,(reply>), And God says: “If you gives thanks, I will provide you with more”,(reply>), It warms my heart to hear that putting your faith in god has brought such peace to your life. It is this complete submission of your ultimate fate in his hands that is integral to the message of Islam. I would like to highlight in Islam that it is expected, by virtue of us being human that we will be flawed. The only perfect being in existence is Allah. If we can never be perfect and instead can only strive to better ourselves then this notion of being ‘good enough’ or ‘perfect enough’ to practice and belong to a religion is an arbitrary and self prescribed measure of goodness. If you feel in your heart you have accepted the existence of God alone as one and unique and the Prophet Muhammad as the messenger of god (a walking emulation of a good Muslim) then this is enough to be considered a Muslim. All other criteria are secondary and can be worked towards as a Muslim. To truly get to know something you must become it. To truly know Islam one must become Muslim. By becoming Muslim you can hope to live and breathe Islam. By definition, Islam is peace obtained by complete submission to God. Thus to become Muslim means to be at peace through a total surrender to the power and majesty of Allah. I understand it takes a great deal of courage to convert. I encourage you to speak to the imam at your mosque and any practicing Muslim friends you may have to obtain greater guidance specific to your individual situation. If God wills it I pray your heart is softened and your soul enlightened with the blessing of Islam.
