How can I come to accept and love Prophet Muhammed (s.a.w) as a Messenger of God, even though I've only known Jesus all my life?

It's always the people you love most that hurt the most.
I keep my silence, my words to myself.
But why do you mistake my sincerity for arrogance?

Do All Non-Muslims Go to Hell?

Do All Non-Muslims Go to Hell?

When I was Catholic, people used to tell me, only if you believe in Jesus then you can be saved! Now that I am Muslim, I read verses in the Quran which speak of eternal Hellfire for disbelievers. But there is more to Islam, after all it is a logical and reasonable religion.

Sickness is a Blessing

Sickness is a Blessing

Posted by MERYEM CHIN

Sickness makes you realise how weak you are, and that you're not in control of your life. It makes you realise that only God is the one in control, so you pray to Him with the most sincere of heart. Sickness stops you in your tracks, asking you if you remembered God in your life.

Why is the Qur'an a Miracle from God?

Why is the Qur'an a Miracle from God?

Who said miracles only have to be in action? Why can't it be in literature and scientific knowledge as well? God works in so many ways. Obviously we're discounting Him if we have our own definition of what a miracle is.

A Lifetime of Seeking Knowledge

A Lifetime of Seeking Knowledge

Posted by MERYEM CHIN

Being able to find other souls who similarly wanted to deepen their faith made me realize that if I believed in something, I should just go for it. And I have never felt so comfortable since. People have told me not to rush, to give it a year or two. Yes, I am giving myself a lifetime. My decision to revert to Islam is the acknowledgment of the start of this journey of lifelong searching.

I Was Not Born to Sin, I was Born Pure.

I cannot accept that God created us with a sinful nature and we proclaim it is something that cannot be helped. The action of sinning comes from my hands, my feet, my mouth, which belong to me, so don't the actions belong to me too? Don't I have to answer for the sins I have committed and take the responsibility as my own?

When Falsehood Seems like Truth

When Falsehood Seems like Truth

Posted by MERYEM CHIN

I was invited to join a Facebook page, a ‘support group for Muslim converts’ a few weeks after my conversion. Those in it seemed so articulate and knowledgeable! But I didn't know that this was a dangerous way to breed one’s own version of Islam based on questioning anything that came in the way of catering to one's nafs.  How could I, a new, fresh, -gullible!- muslim convert?

There was no contradiction in following of God's Laws, even Jesus advocated it, and helped us see how to live it, so why are we removing them?

(Re)Discovering the Prophets

(Re)Discovering the Prophets

Posted by MERYEM CHIN

Prophets were sent by God to the part of the world and period they were meant to fit into. How could I have only just heard this beautiful reasoning that made so much sense of God's ways? Why have we gone so narrow to focus only on one of the ways when He has actually been doing so much more all these while? Truly, when you focus too much on one thing, you miss the beauty of the rest.

It is hard sometimes, when you feel like you're alone in this whole struggle to find God. Yes, God is with me, but it'd be nice to have someone here too.
