Salam. I am happy to share this with you. I was not born to a muslim family. I was raised in a very loving christian home. I was, however, always the child who questioned everything I was taught. As an adult I drifted away from religion completely and felt very empty. I began searching for something to fill this void in my life. I began to study the great religions of the world and read my first book about Islam. It ignited a fire in me to learn more. I began to read any and everything I could find. I went to the Islamic center near to me and began talking to the brothers and sisters there. It was then that I realized I had found the great truth that had been missing from my life. I said shahada in april of this year and Insha'llah I will continue to learn and become a good muslimah.
