The Struggles of Today

Assalaamu Alaikum :D

I pray that everyone is in great health and Imaan insha'Allah!

Just thought I would quickly write what I had the pleasure of observing today. I was on my way to my friend's manjai today but Asr salaah time occured so we stopped by the nearest masjid, Nugget. And to our lovely surprise, after salaah, there was a young man who took the Shahadah! Oh masha'Allah, that just made me incredibly happy :D Yes, like that! haha A new Muslim among us. It was the first time I had heard anything like that and I can't express the joy my mother and I were experiencing at that time.

It just made me think. Unfortunately, the time right now is such a struggle for Muslims everywhere. Being accused of heinous acts that obviously we all know Islam DOES NOT encourage in this beautiful Deen of ours. The media seems to be another form of Shaytaan, brainwashing so many to think that the Muslims are the enemy, na'udhubillah. But after all that, you really have to admire how we deal with this. We don't give in to what they say, instead, all this makes us stronger alhamdulillah and insha'Allah it will strengthen our Ummah and make it one. Aww wouldn't that be just wonderful? Anyhoo, we should know that there are still people out there who are doing their best to know what Islam is really about and that was exactly what that young man did. Allah Swt guides whom He (Swt) wills and He has. My du'a for him is that insha'Allah this new life of his will only lead him to good, may Allah Swt always and forever keep him on Sirat-ul-Mustaqeem and help better this world of ours, ameen.
