I Wondered Why Muslims Are So Proud::
My name is Aysha, and I am from North Hungary. I heard about Islam when I was in secondary school in the history lessons, because Hungary was under occupation by Turkey for 150 years.
After that I went to university to study molecular biology, where I met many Muslim foreign students.
I was always curious why Muslims are so proud that they are Muslims.
I was Catholic, a good one, but I always had doubts and I didn't agree with some parts of my religion: for example, how can God have a son and the concept of the Trinity was also not believable for me.
Then I started to talk with my friends, and one time, when we were having dinner and the Adhan started, one of my friends asked me to stop it, but I said no. I was very much impressed by it and something surely touched my heart.
Then I don't know why at that summer I downloaded a Quran program. I was listening to it in Arabic and was reading it in English. Then I was thinking a lot about Islam and I was reading many books about it.
But then, after two months of thinking I finally chose Islam. I declared Shahadah in front of two of my friends. I said: La ilaha illa Allah, Muhammad rasul Allah (I bear witness there is no God but Allah and Muhammad is the messenger of Allah)
I chose Islam against my culture and my family, especially my mom.
After that, Ramadan started and I decided that I will start my new life in Islam with Ramadan. Alhamdulilah (thank God), I made it successfully.
I started to offer prayer on the 4th of August. It was very hard for me at the beginning because people around me were not that practicing Muslims, so I couldn't ask anyone.
I learnt how to pray by myself from the Internet, because no one showed me how to pray or how to make wudu (ablution), or what invocation to say before it or how to do ghusl (ritual cleansing of the body) or what are the etiquettes and the rulings of Islam.
Once I had a friend and he made me really down. He told me you will never understand Islam, because you were not born as a Muslim. When I told him I want to start fasting Ramadan, he said it is not just about being hungry. At that time I was so new to Islam, I had converted just a month before he said that.
At that time I got so scared, what if I will never learn how to pray in Arabic? What if I don't do it the correct way? And I didn't have hijab (head scarf) or a rug to pray on, and I didn't get any help. So I had lots of fears.
But when I started to pray, I was thinking God must be smiling on me now. Because I used to write down the text of the ritual prayer on a paper and its instructions,and I kept my papers in my right hand and read loudly and then bow down and read again and so on. I'm sure I was looking so funny. But afterwards I succeeded to memorize it in the Arabic language so then there was no problem.
Then I came to Facebook and got many new friends and many sisters. From online sisters I got so much love and courage. Then a Muslim man proposed to me and he got me my first hijab and prayer rug and an Islamic book. And I got my first Arabic Quran from Jordan by post because we cannot buy it here. Now it is more than a year that I wear hijab.
I went through a very bad period with my mom. She would say to me that I will be a terrorist and I will leave her as I left my religion and I will leave my country too. She would put all pork things in the fridge and I would refuse to eat it so it turns into a big argument.
She couldn't stand seeing me praying or seeing me in hijab. So I pray upstairs in my room. She would never look at me when I'm in hijab and she would say: "I gave birth to a Christian child not to a veiled Muslim."
So we had serious problems, but I was never harsh or rude with her. But alhamdulilah (thank God) she calmed down now and she seems accepting that I converted. I'm really thankful to Allah for that. Now I go out in hijab, and she doesn't say anything.
I was not talking with my father for all my life and he didn't want to see me. But now, because of Islam, I opened towards him so now he visits us regularly.
Yes, my life is a big test but I thank God for it and I have patience and hope. On the Day of Judgment I will be very thankful for them. So I'm trying to be better and better and learn more and more to understand my religion.
I believe everything is predestined, so whatever Allah has decreed that will happen to me I cannot change, but I can choose to live my life nicely.
I try helping others now in Debrecen. I organized a project to collect second hand clothes for refugee camp people. There are a lot of Muslims there who don't have a home because of wars. So we collected clothes and we went there and I made them Pakistani bread, for children and for females, they were so happy and it was so nice to see them.
I used to raise my voice if somebody says anything that bothers me. But now I am showing example everywhere I go.
I'm trying to guide also those who want to convert or just converted. I met with two Hungarian sisters, the other day, and they have just converted to Islam. So I gave them books, and my prayer rug and a copy of the Quran, so alhamdulilah we prayed together and they were really happy.
I always try to leave the image that we Muslims are nice, friendly and we have a good heart.
I converted one and a half years ago. Now I am learning Arabic, to be able to read the Quran. I read Quran in Hungarian, I offer prayers five times a day, I try to follow the Quran and the Sunnah, and I read many books to understand better.
This is my story.
Peace be unto you.
![صورة: ◕ Why Muslims consider Jesus and All the prophets as “Muslims” although Islam was founded by Muhammad in the 6th century ??
This is the question which confuse many people across the globe.
● Islam was NOT a new religion founded by Prophet Muhammad but only the true religion of God re-expressed in its final form.
The Arabic word “Islam” means submission of one’s will to the only true God
[( אלוה ) Eloh in Hebrew, ( ܐܠܗܐ ) 'Alâhâ in Aramaic, ( الله ) Allah in Arabic]
and anyone who does so is termed a “Muslim” in the Arabic language.
Therefore, all prophets were indeed “Muslims” because they were true submitters to the will of God.
⇛ Prophet Noah was a Muslim
And if you turn away [from my advice] then no payment have I (Noah) asked of you. My reward is only from Allah, and I have been commanded to be of the Muslims [Submitters to Allah].” [Quran 10:72]
⇛ Prophet Abraham was a Muslim
Abraham was neither a Jew nor a Christian, but he was one inclining toward truth, a Muslim [submitting to Allah]. And he was not of the polytheists.
[Quran 3:67]
⇛ Prophet Abraham’s sons were Muslims
And Abraham instructed his sons [to do the same] and [so did] Jacob, [saying], “O my sons, indeed Allah has chosen for you this religion, so do not die except while you are Muslims.” [Quran 2:132]
⇛ Prophet Jacob was a Muslim
Or were you witnesses when death approached Jacob, when he said to his sons, “What will you worship after me?” They said, “We will worship your God and the God of your fathers, Abraham and Ishmael and Isaac – one God. And we are Muslims [in submission] to Him.” [Quran 2:133]
⇛ Prophet Joseph was a Muslim
My Lord, You have given me [something] of sovereignty and taught me of the interpretation of dreams. Creator of the heavens and earth, You are my protector in this world and in the Hereafter. Cause me to die a Muslim and join me with the righteous. [Quran 12:101]
⇛ Prophet Moses was a Muslim
And Moses said, “O my people, if you have believed in Allah , then rely upon Him, if ye have indeed (been Muslims) submitted (unto Him)! ” [Quran 10:84]
⇛ Prophet Jesus and his disciples were a Muslim
And [remember] when I inspired to the disciples, “Believe in Me and in My messenger Jesus.” They said, “We have believed, so bear witness that indeed we are Muslims [in submission to Allah ].” [Quran 5:111]
"Verily, The Religion with Allah is Islam (submission to His Will): Nor did the People of the Book dissent therefrom except through envy of each other, after knowledge had come to them. But if any deny the Signs of Allah, Allah is swift in calling to account.” [Quran 3:19]](https://fbcdn-sphotos-a-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-xpf1/t1.0-9/p180x540/10376031_662365610477383_2735903239201453572_n.jpg)
![صورة: Quran’s Lesson - Surah Al-Ana’m 6, Verse 93, Part 7
وَمَنْ أَظْلَمُ مِمَّنِ افْتَرَىٰ عَلَى اللَّهِ كَذِبًا أَوْ قَالَ أُوحِيَ إِلَيَّ وَلَمْ يُوحَ إِلَيْهِ شَيْءٌ وَمَنْ قَالَ سَأُنْزِلُ مِثْلَ مَا أَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ ۗ وَلَوْ تَرَىٰ إِذِ الظَّالِمُونَ فِي غَمَرَاتِ الْمَوْتِ وَالْمَلَائِكَةُ بَاسِطُو أَيْدِيهِمْ أَخْرِجُوا أَنْفُسَكُمُ ۖ الْيَوْمَ تُجْزَوْنَ عَذَابَ الْهُونِ بِمَا كُنْتُمْ تَقُولُونَ عَلَى اللَّهِ غَيْرَ الْحَقِّ وَكُنْتُمْ عَنْ آيَاتِهِ تَسْتَكْبِرُونَ
And who can be more unjust than he who invents a lie against Allah, or says: “I have received inspiration,” whereas he is not inspired in anything; and who says, “I will reveal the like of what Allah has revealed.” And if you could but see when the Zalimun (polytheists and wrong-doers, etc.) are in the agonies of death, while the angels are stretching forth their hands (saying): “Deliver your souls! This day you shall be recompensed with the torment of degradation because of what you used to utter against Allah other than the truth. And you used to reject His Ayat (proofs, evidences, verses, lessons, signs, revelations, etc.) with disrespect!”
اور اس شخص سے زیادہ ظالم کون ہے جو اللہ پر جھوٹ گھڑے یا کہے کہ مجھ پر وحی نازل کی گئی ہے، حالانکہ اس پر کوئی وحی نازل نہیں کی گئی، اور جس نے کہا کہ میں بھی ایسی چیز نازل کر سکتا ہوں جیسی اللہ نے نازل کی ہے۔ کاش! آپ ظالموں کو اس حال میں دیکھیں جب موت کی سختیوں میں گرفتار ہوتے ہیں، اور فرشتے (یہ کہتے ہوئے) اپنے ہاتھ پھیلائے ہوئے ہوتے ہیں کہ نکالو اپنی جانیں، آج تمہیں بدلے میں ذلت کا عذاب دیا جائے گا کیونکہ تم اللہ پر ناحق باتیں گھڑتے تھے اور اس کی آیتیں سن کر تکبر کرتے تھے۔
[Al-Quran 6:93]
