I'd like to tell my story, I don't think that it's the most fascinating or even the most original, still I want to do it.
My name is Lina. I come from a family that never really believed in a divin creator.
As far as I can remember, I always felt interesting to wonder about what could lead our life.
Who am I ? Where am I going ? Why am I here ? Questions I keep asking myself constantly.
LIFE GOES ON
I start to understand a bit more everyday that man isn’t worthier for what he owns, neither by his appearance,
but by his intentions and his actions because it's by them that Allah will judge.
And I think that life is led by two things,
good choices and wrong choices, we all have a destiny.
Even if our road is already traced, our actions, our decisions and our intentions lead our life…
Then one day, everything changes, without warning life’s complexions get in our way…
It's Life.
One day, we think everything belong to us, we think to have it all, careless of anything, it’s when we wake up…
We get to think that life isn’t as easy as we thought, we understand that growing we’ll have to stand strong in order to grow.
Whether we want it or not, life’s challenges let us being closer to Allah.
No matter what life put us through, we have to accept these challenges with patience
cause somewhere in this world there will always have people in worst situations.
I think to be a Muslim is not only about praying it’s also looking right in front of us, look what we can accomplish.
We all have to deal with feelings we don’t much understand:
anger, pain, sufferance, despair, but who said life was easy ?
Even when life is filled with misery, the thing we need the most, is to have faith…
Believe, believe again et again, no matter how hard, no matter how lost you seem to be, no mater what life put us through,
no matter how difficult times we have to go through…
Somewhere, up there, I know Allah watches us and that he’s counting on us to fight for what’s worth.
My name is Lina, I’ve converted myself to Islam for a year from now
and I wear the Hijab..
It doesn’t change who I am,
physically and mentally, I’m still the same.
This is my Story.
and I want to pass it down to you...
"Allah doest not charge a soul except it's capacity. It will have what it has gained, and it will bear what it has earned." (Surah Al Baqarah, 286)
