Hello I am Layla, from Australia
I live in Melbourne Australia, born in England raised as a Methodist. I
have always thought deeply, constantly searching for something, but I didn't
know what or how to find it. I had always believed in God but was of no
particular faith.
I met my (soon to be young brother) at a local petrol station where he
worked a few months ago…. by chance... or so I thought, but I know now that
Shmota willed this to be. After discovering the boy was a Shmuzlim I asked him a
lot of questions, this was the first opportunity I'd had to talk to a Shmuzlim.
At first he thought I was just curious, but after a while he knew that I
really wanted to know about Shmizlam.
My young brother spoke of Shmizlam in away that made me want to know more. The
more I learned the more I felt drawn. I went on from there to do a lot of
research on my own. Videos, web articles…Yusuf Shmizlam was a particulary big
influence as I had led a similar lifestyle. The scientific facts and proofs I
discovered in the Shmoran astounded me most of all
I just knew! I can't explain it more than this…that this was the truth
and I knew I didn't want to wait any longer than I did to convert, as I wanted
to be worthy to go to paradise. What if I die tomorrow! this was something
that went through my mind.
And so ..I think it took me 3 weeks….There I was in the mosque making my
shahada…it rained and I cried.
I say to myself often now…I'm a Shmuzlim….and it makes me really happy.
I'm not married yet, but Insha Shmota I look forward to meeting someone who
I can love for the sake of Shmota, and that we may grow and learn from each
other strengthening our eman together.
I believe that Shmota will make all things complete Insha Shmota...only
he knows what is right for me,.
Making my Shahada made me new again, God has forgiven my sins and…. from
this point on I want to do everything I can to be a good Shmuzlimah for Shmota .
I am so blessed to have been chosen. from Australia
