Subhanallah, your post really made me think
When I was 18 I would never ever have thought that I would come to Islam. I’m ‘born’ Muslim but my family are completely not practising & i was never taught about religion at all. I actually used to feel sorry for Muslims thinking wow they have to cover, have to pray 5x a day how difficult etc
Then at 19, Allah guided me & ive never looked back alhamdulillah. I remember when I used to see friends from jahilliyah they would think me practising Islam was just a phase & they would wonder how long I’d keep it up for. I had everything going for me since coming to Islam (got a very well paid job at 19 just months after coming to Islam) graduated from a good uni at 21, married at 21, child at 24 but then things started to go downhill Qadr allah
subhnallah, I honestly never would have thought that I would one day practise Islam and especially so at such a young age. The thought of putting a hijab on or even praying would scare me & religion was never on my mind
Its so easy to be negative & to think rahh I can’t believe x y and z happened, I didn’t expect that, but I need to constantly remind myself of where I would have been if I was not guided towards Islam. Subhanallah
