Little Hard to Swollow

I am seeing a few things these days that I am finding very hard to swallow, like a large boulder and no glass of water in sight to help it go down.

While I agree people should adhere to the Quran and the Sunnah and I feel very strongly about this even going so far as making the Ummah strong, but while I will admit I am gaining more understanding of new reverts these days that these that are new and their deen (way of life) may not be as strong as those of us born Muslim we need to remember that these reverts are like children that you guide like any child.

While I have always had a problem and I will admit of being a bit stern at times, my intentions are good; it is amazing that of all things I inherited this from my grandmother.

But anyway, one thing reverts need to understand too, is the life you had before is gone, that you are starting with a clean slate. The only thing that I know you still have to contend with from what was before to not forget to pay is bill’s, your house payment is still with you. Don’t forget to pay it.

Also, being new to Islam like I would hope the other religions in the world has for lack of a better explanation code to live by, so we as citizen’s in this world can more easily get along with each other, at least I would wish better then we seem to be doing now.

As to reverts it is advised to learn this code of living, for your life will be much easier in the long way and from some I have dealt with they seem to be much happier in the life they have chosen.

Thinking back to what my life has been like lately, with me doing a lot of study and as I told a sister lately it seems to be over flowing because I have always wished what my grandfather said once is Paradise on earth.

So let’s put a smile on our face’s, put out a helping hand and when someone regardless of who they are seems to be following down or needs a little pick up; a helpful hand is better then a slap.

One last thought, it reminds me when I was surfing about on the net since I had not been here for a time, I saw my id name on a web site for a brother that I do not know and someone had accessed my blog and impersonated me. This problem on my part, I hope has since been corrected and I had a hard time trying to explain to the person that a comment and my name was posted to their page that I do not know them nor did I do it except to correct the mistake.

Furthermore, I do not write like the person that pretending to be me.
