A Cute Letter From a Muslim Girl to Her Christian Parents

A Cute Letter From a Muslim Girl to Her Christian Parents

Hello Mami and Papa,

I don’t know how else to approach you in order to explain my reasoning behind my life changing decision and have you listen and understand at the same time.

Since I can long remember I have not be a strong believer of Christianity, there was a lot that did not make sense to me, for example, why I have to beg for forgiveness to a priest? Why I have to pray to saints and not straight to God, why is Jesus the SON of God, why are their SOO many versions of the bible?

The religion became a fascination to me, and I truly wanted to know more. I purchased a few books in the UK and read some pamphlets on the religion. I did not make any decisions but I continued to read and become more familiar to Islam.

Islam began making sense to me, the idea that we pray only to Allah, that we ask Allah for help and for forgive us, how a book (the Quran) that was written thousands of years ago remains unchanged as of today (there are different translations but no different versions) . Also how a book that was written years ago managed to explain scientific situations that was only discovered by man kind only a couple of year ago. Or how the Quran has managed to explains how babies develop in the womb? How would anyone thousands of years ago know this and in such detail? Especially since scientist discovered the explanation of these situations less that 100 years ago?? How can we explain those wonders of the book?

Also how can I deny the holy book when it has been so clear in explaining advanced technology, how the day turns into the night, the creation of human beings by water (as we know scientifically to be known that we came from cells) layers of heaven (which we describe now in scientific terms as the atmospheric levels?). Furthermore, the beginning of the universe and the movement of tectonic plates (there are numerous other examples of the science behind the Quran).

What also has touched me is that Islam believes in ALL THE PROPHETS – JESUS MOSES DAVID ABRAHAM AND MOHAMMAD (pbuh) they all coexist in he Quran, the Quran also tells us that we must respect ALL religions. Mami and Papa, I can not explain how many times I have made my self clear to you of what I believed in, I could not have given myself away anymore! Every time I spoke hours and hours on end about Islam, and how I knew so much.

Also I began of interacting more with Muslim friends; I felt that they would be able to give me a clear explanation of Islam. Also Islam played a major part in self respect, and it helped my appreciate my self more, and realize that I should stay away from harmful situation such as drinking, smoking, going out with people that only meant trouble. I told you what my friends were like, they were heading the wrong direction, and I did not want to be in that direction and believing in Islam made it easier for me to walk away from the powers of shaytaan and do better.

Also Islam was and has been the reason for my success in school. I have placed my mind in my studies instead of going out all the time as my old friends did, and trust me you would not like me to be like them, because if I had been than you would have every single reason to think I was a bad person, that I was irresponsible and that I was a disgrace to the family.

After almost one year of studying Islam I had no doubt in my mind that it was not the right religion.

"When I sing for God, I feel myself in accord with God, and the house of God, Mecca, is right in front of me. And I worship. When I sing for Mohammed, peace be upon him, our prophet, I feel like I am sitting right next to his tomb, Medina, and paying him respect and admitting to myself that I accept his message." - Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan, May 1997.Spreading through the Indian subcontinent from northern Persia in the 12th century, wandering dervishes of the Chisti order would turn up in a village, playing rousing airs on drum and flute while spinning tales and legends. Song was used to induce ecstatic states during formal devotional rituals - hence the astonishing vocal tradition known today as qawwali.Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan was without question the most brilliantly gifted qawwal of our time. He made this recording in his native Pakistan shortly before his untimely death in 1997. His death has left a void in the world of music...ALLAH NE PAAS BULA HI LIYA BIN DEKHE KHUDA BHI REH NA SAKA.

SIR ILAMA IQBAL

Iqbal
Poet, Philosopher, Idealogue, Visionary, "Allama" Iqbal is admired by millions throughout the world.Sir Muhammad Iqbāl (Urdu: محمد اقبال) (Nov 9, 1877–April 21, 1938) was an PAK/IND Muslim poet, philosopher, and politician, whose poetry in Persian and Urdu is regarded as among the greatest in modern times.Iqbal was an heir to a very rich literary, mystic, philosophical and religious tradition. He imbibed and assimilated all that was best in the past and present Islamic and Oriental thought and culture. His range of interests covered Religion, Philosophy, Art, Politics, Economics, the revival of Muslim life and universal brotherhood of man. His prose, not only in his national language but also in English, was powerful. His two books in English demonstrate his mastery of English. Everything he thought and felt, almost involuntarily shaped itself into verse.

Iqbal ishaq- a- haqiqi

kabhi eaa haqiqat-e-muntazir nazar aa libaas-e-majaaz mainKe hazaaron sajdey tarap rahey hain meri jabeen-e-nayaz main...

Kabhi eaa naseem-e-sahar tera ho guzar diyaar-e-hijaaz mainMeri chashm-e-ter ka salaam ho hazoor banda nawaaz main

kafir ki yeh pehchan k afaaq main gum hai
momin ki yeh pehchan k gum iss main hain afaaq
jo main sar ba sajda hua kabhe to zameen sy any lage sada
tera dil to hay sanam ashna tujy kia milay ga namaz main!!!

The Interview With God
I dreamed I had an interview with God."Come in," God said.
"So,u wud like to interview Me?""If u hve the time," I said.
God smiled n said: "My time is eternity n is enough to do everything;
Wht questions do u hve in mind to ask me?"
"What surprises u most abt mankind?"
God answered: "Tht they get bored of being children,
r in a rush to grow up, n then long to be children again
Tht they lose their health to make money n then lose their money to restore their health
Tht by thinking anxiously abt the future,they forget the present,such tht they live neither for the present nor the future
Tht they live as if they will never die,n they die as if they had never lived.
"God's hands took mine n then I asked, "As a parent, wht r some of life's lessons u want ur children to learn?"
God replied with a smile:
"To learn tht they cannot make nyone love them.Wht they can do is to let themselves be loved
To learn tht wht is most valuable is not wht they have in their lives, but who they hve in their lives
To learn tht it is not good to compare themselves to others.All will be judged individually on their own merits, not as a group on a comparison basis
To learn tht a rich person is not the one who has the most, but is one who needs the least
To learn tht it only takes a few seconds to open profound wounds in persons we love, n tht it takes many years to heal them
To learn to forgive by practicing forgiveness
To learn tht there r persons tht love them dearly, but simply do not know how to express orshow their feelings
To learn tht money can buy everything but happiness
To learn tht two people can look at the same thing n see it totally different
To learn tht a true friend is someone who knows everything abt them, n likes them anyway
To learn tht it is not always enough tht they be forgiven by others, but tht they hve to forgive themselves.
"I sat there for a while n thanked HIM.He replied,"Nytime I'm here 24hrs a day.All u hve to do is ask for me, n I'll answer."
