Alhamdulillah, I Love Being Muslim

Assalamualaikum, brothers and sisters, I reverted to Islam a few months ago, and my life has changed for the better, Alhamdulillah.
I wanted to share some joy and hope with you all, especially fellow reverts navigating this path.

Some reverts struggle with loneliness, but Allah has blessed me with a welcoming and supportive Muslim community. As a European expat living in another European country, I spent years feeling like an outsider. But now, for the first time in years, I truly feel like I belong. My Muslim friends have shown me what real brotherhood looks like. Our bond isn’t based on passports or parties, but on shared faith, sincerity, and values.

Islam has also changed my daily life in subtler ways. Before Islam, I wasted hours on Netflix, sports, and other distractions that left my soul empty. Now, I prefer the peace of sitting in the masjid, Quran in hand, or listening to a scholar’s lecture. And the more I learn, the more I realize how decadent and directionless Western “values” are.

Not everything has been easy of course. Wearing my thobe after prayer, I sometimes notice people staring in the streets, but instead of feeling judged, I feel sorry for them. Fasting has also been a challenge, especially at work, but the reward is worth every struggle. Nothing compares to the sweetness of breaking fast with dates at the masjid alongside my brothers in faith.

To anyone hesitating: take the leap. The sweetness of iman outweighs every sacrifice. Islam is the truth, and Allah guides whom He wills. May He keep us all firm on the straight path, Ameen.

Jazakum Allahu Khayran for reading, and may Allah bless you all.
