Been Muslim all my life..
Multiculturalmuslimah reminisces about the days that led to her acceptance of Islam and her conversion:
” I don’t know how to explain it, its a singular insanity that is all my own.
I would be at halaqas in abaya and khimar and when other sisters asked me, “So, how long have you been Muslim?”
I would pause for a second and then answer quite matter of factly, “Well, actually I’m not.”
What a strange creature I must have seemed.
And when that moment finally came where I realized that my thinking had changed from “if I ever became Muslim…” to “when I become Muslim…” it hit me like a bucket full of cold water. I probably even made a funny face.
I had denied it while living it for far too long.
