Innalillahi wa’ina ilaihirrajiun!
He has passed away. Please repost his beautiful Qur’an recitation so the reward may reach him in his grave and bring him mercy. 🤲🕊️
Former Christian Alana Blockley, a British woman, says, “I was raised in a secular Christian society. All my life I heard the priest in church say that Islam is a religion that humiliates women, that Muslim women are deficient in intellect and faith, that they are weak and oppressed, that the hijab is a restriction, and that men control them. I believed all of this. I saw it as the truth, beyond any discussion.
But at the same time, I saw with my own eyes what happens to women in secular society. I saw them as young girls used in advertisements,
and as young women, their bodies turned into commodities on Pepsi, chocolate, and shop windows. When their beauty fades, their pictures are removed from shops, and when they get older, they are sent to nursing homes or clinics, their role in society over, and they become a burden.
I used to ask myself: Is this respect? Is this honor?” I also saw that in secularism, a woman could marry two, three, or even three men—relationships without responsibility, broken families, lost children, and a woman growing old alone. They call this freedom, but in reality, it's consumerism. A woman has an expiration date.
I decided to research Islam myself, not to change my religion, but to know the truth. I read the Quran, reviewed the hadiths, and paused at the phrase I was always told: “Women in Islam are deficient in intellect and religion.” When I understood it correctly, I discovered that the Prophet (peace be upon him) wasn't insulting or belittling women. When he said they were deficient in intellect, he was referring to testimony in certain financial transactions—legislation that protects rights and considers women's nature, not a judgment on their intelligence. And when he said they were deficient in religion, he was talking about God's mercy in exempting them from prayer and fasting during menstruation. It's a deficiency in obligation, not a deficiency in value.
After that, I saw the huge difference between women in secularism and Islam. In the West, a woman is a phase; she has an expiration date. In Islam, a woman is protected at every stage of her life: as a daughter, she has rights; as a wife, she receives love and mercy; as a mother, Paradise lies at her feet; and as an elderly woman, she is a blessing and a mercy. She is not a burden, nor something to be marginalized.
When I read the Quran, I saw a justice I had never seen in the Bible or any secular ideology: “I will not waste the reward of any worker among you, whether male or female,” and “Whoever does righteousness, whether male or female, while being a believer - We will surely grant them a good life,” and “And they (women) have rights similar to those (of men) over them in kindness.” The value lies in the work, not in the gender.
I saw the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, say: “The best of you are those who are best to their families,” and “Treat women well,” and he made pleasing a mother a path to Paradise. I understood that Islam did not make a woman an advertisement, a body for sale, or a commodity to be discarded when it is no longer needed. It made her a value that is preserved.
I always saw women in the West as mere coverings, but when I understood Islam, I discovered that a woman is like chocolate itself—wrapped to protect, not to hide. That's why I embraced Islam, because I discovered that the biggest lie I'd ever been told was that women in Islam are deficient. The truth is, women in Islam are the most honorable, strongest, and most beautiful beings in the world. Secular women, on the other hand, start changing from one man to another, relationship after relationship, from the age of 18 until they reach 50. They don't know how many men they've married, how many sons or daughters they have, or how much stable family life or true security they've experienced. In the end, they suffer from depression and end up in a psychiatric hospital or nursing home, after being exploited in the name of "freedom." 📌📌📌👏🙏
🔴 Amazing… one of the most beautiful things you may ever hear
The reason this Christian nun embraced Islam
She says that when she read the verse in which Allah says:
“And you will surely find the nearest of them in affection to the believers those who say, ‘We are Christians.’ That is because among them are priests and monks, and because they are not arrogant.”
She paused for a long time…
She says:
“This verse shook me to my core, because it speaks about Christians with such fairness and mercy.”
She continued reading until she reached the verse:
“And when they hear what has been revealed to the Messenger, you see their eyes overflowing with tears because of what they recognize of the truth.”
And she says:
“When I read this verse, I couldn’t hold myself together… my eyes filled with tears, and I felt that God was describing exactly what was happening inside me.”
At that moment, she realized that this was the truth.
So she raised her hands to the sky and said:
“Our Lord, we have believed, so write us among the witnesses.”
A moment of sincerity that changed her life forever 🤍
ALLAHU AKBAR!
A Nigerian woman, through her Islamic posts inspired a Christian which led to his conversion to Islam. May Allah reward you abundantly. @Miss_Halimatu the entire Muslim Ummah are tremendously proud to have you.
I grew up as a Palestinian Christian in Palestine. I was beaten dozens of times by the Israeli military simply for being Palestinian, and on one occasion I was arrested for attempting to go to the Church of the Holy Sepulchre in Jerusalem. Israel prevented me from seeing my family except twice over the last 15 years because I lived in Ramallah while they were in Gaza. Moreover, Israel killed my father and my sister in Gaza.
So when I see Netanyahu using “Christian rights” to whitewash Israel’s crimes, it is insulting and deeply offensive.
“Islam needs to be reformed to fit the modern age”
No. It does not.
Our religion will remain as it has for 1400 years - unchanged, untainted and undistorted
What was permissible then is permissible now
What was impermissible then is impermissible now
What was truth then is truth now
What was falsehood then is falsehood now
We dot not change our religion to fit us
Rather, we change to fit our religion
