The more I learn about Islam the more I fall in love. When a person turns towards Allah and seeks knowledge, Allah guides that person. Make a start with your intention. If you are single, try to get married. Marriage completes half of your deen. If you are unable to get married, keep voluntary fasts. Fasting will help you control your desires and help improve your character insha-Allah. Always stay paak (clean and pure). What helped me to turn to Islam? I have everything in life alhamdulillah. But I was never happy, something was always missing. I started to think about things in detail, just sit down and contemplate. I started to think about why I was here. I started to think about how the sun rises daily, then the day becomes night and night becomes day. At sunset time I watch how it get darks with fascination, I even do it to this day. I knew Allah is doing this. I used to look at the sun and my eyes would hurt. I would think, I can't even look at the sun, it's so powerful. If the sun was closer it would burn us all, it is at the perfect distance. I would think about how humans are created from a dirty fluid, yet we turn out so beautiful and unique. I would get a cut on my hand and watch it heal itself. I would think about water, how we all need it. Yet it falls from the sky. All these are signs of Allah. I thought about all of these things. I contemplated about these things and it made me want to learn about Allah. Try to think about the things I mentioned. I also observe people. I see married women at work, they kiss/hug other men etc. I do not want my wife doing this. Guys film down women's tops secretly on their phones and then show to all their friends. Things like this disgust me. Children: I hope to have children one day insha-Allah and I used to think, what if tomorrow my son came home from school and said "Dad I'm gay". Or what if my son came home from school drunk? Or what if my daughter turned 18 and wanted to star in an adult movie? May Allah protect us. I thought about who I learnt about Islam from, it was my parents. I grew up watching them pray and prayed with them. Now tomorrow if I have kids and I am not praying, will my kids pray? If I do not teach my children about Islam then I cannot shout at them if they are gay or if they do bad stuff. So this is why I started to learn about Islam, to protect myself and my future children. If you have children or want to have children in the future, remember when that child enters this world, he/she will not know anything, you will have to teach that child everything. That should be our motivation, to save ourself from Hell fire and to save our beautiful children, friends and family. How can I increase my knowledge about Islam? My advice to you would be that you read the quran with translation and more importantly the tafseer (commentary). The tafseer is important since it explains things that are complicated. All you have to do is read 5 lines a day, that is all. If you can't read 5 lines, just read 3 daily. But do it daily, make it a habit. Insha-Allah day by day your knowledge about deen will increase. Other than the quran, read hadeeth and books about afterlife. Read islamic books and watch Islamic videos on YouTube. On my channel I have many videos, feel free to browse them, there is a lot of knowledge in them. Learn about Islam, then use 'Windows movie maker' or any other software to make a video to share your knowledge with others. Always remember not to make religion a burden. If you make it a burden, then you will run away from it. Do as much as you can, even if you can only read an islamic book for 5 minutes, then read for 5 minutes only. Don't force yourself. Make it easy for yourself. Remember Islam is here to make your life easy, not to make it difficult. Try to always read your 5 prayers on time. If you currently read 0, then start reading 1. keep reading 1 then move to 2. If you currently read 2 prayers, then try to read 3 etc. Build it up slowly. But start today, do not delay. A trick of the shaitaan is to make us think "i'll do this tomorrow" and then when tomorrow comes he makes us forget. No do it today, don't let the shaitaan trick you. Another thing I would recommend (if possible) is to go to Saudi Arabia with your family for pilgrimage. Allah knows what is best for us. If a small baby asks for a knife to play with, would you give the baby the knife? The baby will cry and cry asking for the knife but you will not give it because you know that it is bad for the baby. In the same way, Allah knows things like alchohol, drugs, dating etc are bad for us so he has forbidden them. Television: I feel it is a bad influence and is corrupting and demoralising us all. Try to limit how much and what you watch. Keep praying to Allah that He guides you. May Allah bless you and me and the entire ummah. Ameen.
