Hold On

I am a muslim and I am proud . 

I am NOT a terrorist . Islam is a religion of peace , the narrow minded people is the one making it sound so complicated .

I was bored .. so I went online on ask.fm and I met this amazing guy .

His name is Jamie Walsh .

I went through his profile and found out that he had converted to Islam around 2 months ago , he was a catholic  .

Praise be to Allah . I was so happy that i cried :')

So lil busybody me asked him 

Me : what made you convert ?

Jamie : well as a catholic i came from a religious family and i used to just accept things as they were. until a little after i turned 15 i started to question things and loose faith. i felt no connection with god. things didnt make sense and everytime i would ask a priest the answer would be "its just the way things are" it didnt really make sense. so later on i started searching up different religions. islam intrigued me the most and was a similar concept to my old religion so it wasn't hard to grasp. i began speaking to several different sheikhs and i researched for around four months. all my questions were answered and they all made sense. My mates helped me alot and were really supportive. so yeah..

Me : were your parents okay with you converting to Islam ?

Jamie : hell no! i took my parents into the living room one day and explained to them that i had just converted. oh god they went batshit crazy on me! i was actually scared. there was yelling and screaming and blehhhh. i was kicked out of the house. i think they were planning on disowning me. i stayed at zacs house for a week and his family were really supportive. one day they call the police and order me back home. it was really awkward. i went straight up to my room and later that night my mum comes in crying her eyes out saying it was her fault she raised a disbeliever and a monster and all this crap. so i waited for her to calm down and explained why i had converted and that i was happy the way i am. she didnt want to believe it and kept claiming i can change. eventually she got over it and told me she hates that im muslim but shell learn to live with it. my dad was alot tougher to crack. one day at the dinner table he decided to pick on everything i did. we started yelling and screaming at each other like no tomorrow, and it was the first time he hit me. after that i saw my dad cry for the first time saying he raised me wrong and it was his fault and a load of other stuff. basically my parents hate my religion but will learn to live with it. basically what im saying is, dont let anyone get in the way of what you truly believe in.

Its all here , #proof ---->  http://ask.fm/Jamiewalsh2196/answer/48611329155

True , what he said . Dont let anyone get in the way of what you believe in . To muslims and non-muslims .

Dear Jamie , stay strong . It will be a rough road to His paradise but just think about the offerings to come . Praise be to Allah that now you're in the right path . Honestly , you are AMAZING . Teens nowadays doesnt take religion as something important . I am so impressed with you . Pray for your parents to maybe open their hearts to accept Islam too . Insya'Allah .

We will always support and pray for you .
