Assalamualaikum Dear Shahid.

This blog has given me much in the way of glimpses into the mind of a compassionate human being (I remember your lady friend in the wheelchair who passed away, and the beautiful way in which you described and talked about her) and I thank you for the audio link – which I honestly haven’t had time to listen to yet, but it’s there on my hard drive

We do change on this path of life in many different ways, and InshaAllah that yours is siratal latheena an amtaallaihim, ghairil mag’dubi allaihim walad daaleen.

Please let us know where we can be treated to the next stage of your writings.

All the best, your bro in Islam

Dear Shahid bhai, a few years ago (I guess I was in school then) I read a interview in some newspaper (Ummat as far as I remember) about a Software Engineer who accepted the Islam and denied the lies of qadyani jamaat. About a year ago, I found your blog on a blog directory. Later, I found that you are the same person .

And yes, you are 100% Muslim Alhamdolillah, and I read your lecture “A Fracture in Belief – Audio”. Your accent told that you are a 100% Londoner as well. Dear brother in Islam, may Allah give the Ajar of what you have done, for the service of Islam.

I hope you will start writing again soon. May Allah give you the strength and health and keeps every grief of this world away from you.

We shall InshaAllah meet in Jannat one day. Ameen.

Salam Shahid.
I did tell you I would email you, but I decided that I would post a comment instead. When I hear about some of your personal experiences and thoughts on this blog, it really has moved me and Inshallah your blog has helped readers to get a better understanding of Islam. Learning about your path to Islam, I can draw some parallels to my path to Islam.
Although I was raised as a muslim, the pillars of my religion had very weak foundations because I did not do things in the right way. We are commanded by our lord to establish prayer, be constant in our prayers and pray on time. I would only ever pray the Eid prayer and perhaps some Juma prayers on my summer holidays. I was taught how to recite the Quran in arabic from a very young age, but I didn’t understand arabic and I was never taught the meaning of the words that I recited. However, the fasting during Ramadan was always something that I got the meaning of straight away and this perhaps made the Zakat easy for me too. I’m definitely sure lots of other muslims can relate to how I practised my religion.
The moment that changed my life was back in March 2004, I got hold of a copy of an English translation of the Quran. In one of your “A fracture in belief” speeches you gave, you mentioned how you felt after reading the first 5 verses of surah bakarah. I can remember being moved to tears reading those very same verses. Why? Well, let me relay them again:
2:1 – A.L.M.
2:2 – This is the Book; in it is guidance sure, without doubt, to those who fear God.
2:3 – Who believe in the Unseen, are steadfast in prayer, and spend out of what We have provided for them;
2:4 – And who believe in the Revelation sent to thee, and sent before thy time, and (in their hearts) have the assurance of the Hereafter.
2: 5 – They are on (true) guidance, from their Lord, and it is these who will prosper.

So why am I moved to tears by these verses? Well the answer lies in what I read in the rest of the Quran, which gives me the conviction to believe that this is a book from God. I read all of the meaning of the Quran (in English) back in early 2004 and it was this book that strengthened my faith and it is this book that helped me to understand why I need to practice my religion in the way my lord commands me to. The most merciful, the most kind, the most forgiving has made me fortunate enough to understand this book – I remember how all the rituals like praying 5 times a day seemed so difficult, but once I started, only then could I notice the benefits.

I will miss reading your blog posts, but completely understand your reasons for halting – inshallah I pray you continue with your lectures and I pray your heart grows with more love for the all-seer.
See you soon inshallah.
