My revert to Islam story
 
Well where do I start? Before I reverted to Islam I was your average British girl with the makeup and hair the fashion and all that materialistic stuff. I was first introduced to Islam by one of my close friends. I was always interested in Islam and I was encouraged  how  most Muslims felt so strongly about their religion. The strength they showed for their religion is what inspired me to read up on Islam. 

My friend gave me some books about Islam and I also looked on the internet about it the first thing I realized about Islam was the way women dressed so modestly so that no man would look at them in the wrong way. When I would see a Muslim sister in hijab or niqaab it always made me think that  they must feel so free, not to worry about a man objectifying  them and they must also feel so close to Allah and Islam. 

I continued researching Islam and then one night something incredible happened.  I woke after having had the most amazing dream. In the dream,  I was at my workplace doing regular routine activities when suddenly this man came into the room with fire all around him. I was frightened and so I  jumped over my  work desk to get away from him. In the dream I saw two little Muslim girls wearing hijab. They were running around playing, in good sprits as if the burning man did not bother them at all. Their faces were glowing and the man in flames would not go near them, he was only after me. 

I quickly ran out of the building and right into this brightly lit person, I could not see the person because they emitted such a brilliant white light. This brightly lit person said to me  "Have you converted to Islam ?" ... and then suddenly I woke up.

The dream still gives me goose-bumps now MashAllah, SunhanAllah as I tell it to you.

As soon as I woke up from the dream I knew I had to take my shahada.

 The dreams was a sign straight from Allah, Alhamdulilah and I thank Allah every single day for that blessing He sent to me.

I took my shahada and have never looked back I have never been this happy and peaceful. I started wearing the hijab a couple of months later and it is my comfort blanket. I love hijab and I love Allah and I love Islam. I am striving for Jannah inshAllah

I would like to say to any sister that is thinking about reverting, that reads my story, please read up on Islam and read the Quran and make sure Islam is in your heart before you take your shahada, but don't neglect that urge to learn about this beautiful faith.
 
JazakAllah khair
