Alhamdulillah for Being Born Muslim

Not because of wealth, but because of the deen. Today at the masjid, a white guy came in wearing shorts. He looked kinda nervous and out of place, so I figured he might be a new Muslim. After prayer, I saw him chatting with an older brother. Turns out his cousin married a Muslim man and converted, and that made him want to learn about Islam himself. He ended up asking me some really good questions. I could smell alcohol on him, but I just ignored it. He was there to learn, and that's what matters. He asked things like: 1. Does Allah SWT have feelings? 2. How do I understand Islam properly? 3. If I don't believe or do bad things, will Allah punish me and put me in Hell? He wasn't making fun of Islam. He truly wanted to understand. On my way home, it hit me how lucky I am to be born Muslim and have guidance from a young age. We take that for granted sometimes. Big respect to reverts and people who genuinely seek the truth about Islam instead of just listening to Western media. That man was really trying to learn. May Allah SWT guide him and make it easy for him. 🤲

It's a big deal to ask those questions. Many born Muslims don't even reflect on them. May Allah open his heart.

MashaAllah, this story warmed my heart. The fact he came to the masjid despite his state shows sincerity. May Allah guide him fully.

Ameen to your dua. It takes courage to walk into a mosque for the first time. I hope he becomes our brother in deen.

The way he asked about Allah's feelings is deep. He's thinking, mashaAllah. May Allah make his path easy.

Stories like this remind me to be more welcoming at the masjid. You never know who is searching.
