Jazak-Allah Rajafahad.
There are tears in my eyes.
Its such a big shame, how the Born Muslims are running away from the True Path of Islam and feel proud when they emulate the West, Date, Drink, have adultry and be boastful about it.
I have met many Newly converted Muslims here in US. Wa'Allah-he they are MUCH BETTER MUSLIMS than all of us born Muslims, because they have seen the other side, they have done most of what West stands for, i.e. Dating, mating, drinking, and they realized by practical experience what hedonistic life they were leading was nothing but a life of falsehood and deception.
There is no peace and contentment in the life Western wayward, self centered, selfish and carefree living.
We all know that now in the West there are communities which are trying hard to LEGALIZE MAN TO MAN, and WOMAN TO WOMAN Marriage, in many places they have succeeded. There are communities in the WEST that believe in Absolutely NO Cloth wearing communities, How animalistic is that.
BUT, Subhan-Allah, the children of these same PEOPLE in West, that have done everything to rebel against Allah (S-W-T), are converting at fast rate to ISLAM, try to resemble the lives of SAHABAAS, and live by the Sunnah of Hazrat - Muhammed (S-A-W). They CRY for their forgiveness of their previous sins, and how Allah (S-W-T), is Raheem, Allah (S-W-T), has guided them now to the right path.
Allah (S-W-T), has amazing and mysterious ways to spread the True Deen. Right of the HEART of all the Darkness (West), here I see the LIGHT of Islam, growing, Alhumdulilah.
Sadly, the Traditional Homeland of Islam, Middle East and Pakistan, etc. are RUNNING AWAY from Islam. How sad and foolish is that.. Young people girls, boys dating, mating without marriage, drinking, being disrespectful to elders, Astaghfaar. May Islam REVIVE in PAKISTAN and other Muslim countries ONCE AGAIN, as they are loosing ISLAM in Pakistan and in many So called Muslim lands.
Many new converts, when they talk to me to other Muslims in General, have a very pleasant Attitude. Many are African American and quite a few are White Americans, they all have no racial predujudice in them. They are True Mu'Mineen. I have learned alot from them. To be humble and respect one another, no matter what race, creed, ethnicity you are.
Many times, however, I hear from the New Muslims how they wished their fore-fathers had known about Islam, and they cry and pray for their forgiveness. They also KNOW that the Born Muslims like us PAKISTANIS are Not PRACTICING Muslims. We feel ashamed when in a gathering among them, they are much better Muslims than us, they observe Sunaat, to full extent. They wear the Islamic (Thobe - Men's dress), have Sunnah (Beard), wear Kufi (hat or Topi), and use Miswaak when performing wudu. They speak softly and with respect, always invoking the name of Allah (S-W-T), in every sentence. I truly feel ashamed how we the Born Muslims feel like less than 10% Muslims, compared to the New Muslims. They have seen all what West has to offer and they have recognized the falsehood it stands for.
May Allah give me and us all hidayaat Ameen.
