Alhamdulillah!
I just said the Shahadah (around 5:50pm-ish)! I am officially a Muslim!
I meant to do it yesterday, but today was to be the day. I went outside, to the side/back of the house (for privacy & to reflect of the beauty of Allah’s creations) and just looked around me. I saw a spider’s web, a swallow in the air, flowers, the pretty sunlight, a crow feather, and the clouds— I joke not, this one right above made a simplistic shape of Allah’s name! I couldn’t believe it. Subhan’Allah! I wish I had my camera! Moments later, when I looked up, it disappeared. There were some distractions…some kids playing, cars and my own jumble of thoughts, but it went well. I eventually said the words out loud, first in Arabic than English. I was worried I said them incorrectly, so I said it a few more times, lol. I expect it all to sink in later! I haven’t had time to really reflect on it. My parents and other things are distracting me, heh. I read one should shower after, but I can’t right away, so I’ll do that tonight. Part of me feels that I was already reverted, I just had to say the words, so the transition isn’t as drastic as others might experience, mine was more of a gradual progression. But still! I am a Muslim!:-) Alhamdulillah!
Masha Allah and Congratulations!
May Peace Be upon you.
