My name is lina..
I live at Lund..
I am about 34 years old..
I entered Islam at 2006.. I’m a Swedish Muslima
Lina.. from Sweden..
She tried to prove that Qur’an is wrong.. But!!
Subhan Allah.. Qur’an proved that she was wrong!
Allah,SWT saved her..
From deception of atheism..to the tranquility of Islam
Sister Lina..how was your life before Islam?
The way you lived?
My life was like most of the people living here at Sweden..
I wasn’t believing on a God.. and I believed that he doesn’t exist in the first place..
I read a lot about religions..but still, I didn’t believe that he exist!
I used to go to study at the Church..because my parents wanted me to do so.
I also used to go party..when I was a student..I was happy.. sort of.
But I was always thinking of the meaning of life!
I didn’t believe that we are here to eat..drink..then die
What is the purpose for our existence??
And why Allah, SWT created us..?
Just to eat and drink.?
Our there is a great reason for our life!!
“Then did you think that We created you uselessly and that to Us you would not be returned?””
We are created for the sake of Tawheed.. to worship Allah, SWT.. and only Him
Before I enter Islam.. I had married a man from Morocco.. I was 20 years old..
We loved each other very much
But he wasn’t religious..
And Islam didn’t have a part in our relation..
Then I noticed that he never do Wudu..he never reads Quran
Lina had got married before becoming Muslim..but this didn’t last long!
At that time.. she saw Qur’an for the first time..
I’d been through a critical time of my life..I was young and recently divorced.
I used to enter internet and talk with many people..
I was looking for friends.. at a site that I think it is not there anymore!
At that time.. that was my way to connect with people from all over the world..
and talk with them about almost everything..
Once, I was talking at night, at the internet.. with people from different places of the world..
A young man said to me.. a person should read Qur’an
I thought..This is stupid! he wants me to read Qur’an.. it is an old rotten book!
So, I decided to challenge him.. since he was claiming that Qur’an is so good.. and it contains solutions for all matters
I had done researches in all religions.. nothing was interesting..why not to study Islam too.?.
‘By the merciful guidance of my Lord’
‘The beauty covers the spring of my heart’
‘And turns my feelings and my path green’
‘Even my features, all that is because of the guidance’
It was a challenge that Lina took.. to expose mistakes in Qur’an
That was the beginning of her guidance!!
The study that she did..
has affected her a lot..
I was planning to study it well.. to look for faults..
Then I document them and send them to him saying : how about all of this?? where is your God now??
But I couldn’t find any fault in Qur’an.. praise to Allah..
Instead of that I found a verse in Surat Ibrahim..
that made me believe with the existence of Allah and of Hellfire
Can you read it?
I read it in Swedish? of course I can.
I will read it..
“Before him is Hell, and he will be given a drink of purulent water.”
“He will gulp it but will hardly [be able to] swallow it. And death will come to him from everywhere, but he is not to die.”
“And before him is a massive punishment.”
At the Resurrection day, the Hellfire..
calles all the creations saying:
I am made for every obstinate tyrant.
“And they requested victory from Allah , and disappointed, [therefore], was every obstinate tyrant.”
“Before him is Hell,”
“and he will be given a drink of purulent water.”
I was upset.. I felt very much disgusted of myself..
I shivered while reading this verse, so i understood that I believe in Hellfire
This story is amazing, Lina was atheist..
yet she was moved knowing that Hellfire exists
The truth had touched her heart..but..
he senses are in denial!
I became certain that there is punishment in Hellfire..
So, I was very much terrified!
That has changed my concept of life..completely..
The rang of Dawah is wide.
‘Even in an unnoticed one word!..’
the prophet SAW says, ‘Allah may raise a person up in Jannah due to it’
Now I believe that Allah wanted to introduce me to Islam..that way..
Now, I know that, that man wanted to do Dawah..
And that I had fallen in his good trap..Alhamdulillah.
He wanted to invite me to Islam..
And I wanted to prove that I am right!
But, Allah is the truth..Alhamdulillah.
‘The first time my eyes saw it..’
‘I was reciting it.. It touched me..’
‘As if it’s lines were of dawn ..and of fragrance..’
‘And life was there..between the pages..’
Sister Lina..tell me about that moment..
The most important moment in the life of every person, Allah, SWT guided him to Islam
The moment of entering Islam by saying Shahada!!
How, when and where was it?
Yes, I decided to enter Islam and say the Shahada..
when I understood the presence of Allah.. I was afraid..
I was thinking for many days and I asked myself, what am I going to do?
One day, I asked a friend in the internet about How am I supposed to say the Shahada??
He explained to me.. in details.. what to do..
Then, one night.. I was alone except for the one at the internet with me..
in spite of that.. I cleaned up..
Then.. I said the Shahada..it was about 2 Am
So, I entered Islam then I made Dua’a to Allah, I felt He loves me..
It was a vey beautiful feeling..
I was living with my sister at that time
So, at the morning I told her that I entered Islam and today I am Muslima
‘Guided through the Qur’an’
‘Living it is the sweetness of life’
‘Longing to the Lord, coming to Him’
‘To Him I submit my soul’
Alhamdulillah..My family..
It was easy..
At the same time I became Muslim ..my sister found out that she is pregnant with her first baby!!
I was living with them and I felt that I should tell my parents that I became Muslima
So we decided to go to tell them about my Islam first.. then my sister tells them about her pregnancy..
This way, they will not focus about my Islam..
So when we visited my parents..I told them about me embracing Islam.
I seemed that they understood me..that they accepted it!
After some time..my father asked me: Are you going to wear Hijab?
I said: Yes..I will do that soon..
Yes..I knew that, now I am a Muslim, I must wear Hijab..and I am going to do that sooner or later!
It took few months..4 to 5 months to get encouragement..
To feel that now is the time to make this step..I was nervous..
I had many vails..but I didn’t know what to wear..
And I didn’t want to do it by myself..
So. I decided to go out with my sister for a breakfast..
and I would get support and protection from her..
So, I put on the vail and we went out..I was afraid that our neighbors could see me..as a Muslima
Because they are going to notice me ..no one else will do
So, I put it on and went out..I was surprised..no one noticed me..
No one commented..pointed..or said anything..not at all!!
The only one who talked to me was the waiter..he talked dto me in English..
He asked me what do I want to eat? .. he assumed that I am not Swedish!!
No one looked at me..then my sister asked me: Do you look at people wearing Hijab, yourself?
I said: No.. Actually,It wasn’t strange ..
Then, the situation became kind of ordinary..
And now I am very proud of my Hijab, Alhamdulillah
‘O, Allah, keep me steadfast on the righteous path’
‘Because what I fear most’
‘is to have a bad ending tomorrow’
Then my family accepted me, Praise to Allah
And after some time my mother said to me: why didn’t you enter Islam from before?
Now you are a better person!
I was very glad to hear that.
When a Muslim characterize by the real merits of Islam..
He is doing a silent Dawah to all people around him..
I believe that so many people know that the goodness is in Islam
And I am sure that my mother knows that too.
But it is scaring and hard for them ..even though they know!!
After the Qur’an was a reason for her guidance..
It became a part of her life..
One of the verses that affected me so much..
verse# 134 of Surat Ali-Imran
“who restrain anger and who pardon the people ”
At that time..there was a sort of misunderstanding between me and my family..
we were angry at each other for few days..
the anger inside me was big ..I felt depressed!
So , decided to cool down.. I took my Qur’an and looked at the pages..
my finger pointed at that verse..I started to read..
I felt it..I cried..Then I thought how this is happening?
Allah is talking to me clearly.. so, I went inside and prayed..
When my husband came..he saw me completely changed..a different person..
I said to him: Alhamdulillah..Allah talked to me today.
I want to know..the problems that you faced, sister Lina..After you became Muslima
What happened to you?
I always say , we should look at the goodness we have not at the problems..
Of course, it is not easy for a person to be or become Muslim i n Sweden
There are obstacles..
I was living in a building..and I had neighbors..
After I have put on my Hijab..they stopped saying hello to me
I’ve met so many people at the streets..they think differently..
They wonder..why and how would I person wear such a thing?
At some time..I documented my problems and those of other new Muslim sisters..
I was keen to send a complaint to Body of Racial Discrimination..about what happened to me..
One of the important verses for me is ” For indeed, with hardship [will be] ease.”
I was reading Qur’an so frequantly..before I become Muslim..
And the translated book says” For indeed, After hardship [will be] ease.”
But I learned that in Arabic it was “For indeed, with hardship [will be] ease.”
This means tha when a person is in trouble or ordeal..the ease will come with the hardship
For me..I was pregnant with my first baby
I was very happy and looking forwards to the day I have born him
But at delivery.. with the instinct of mothers..I felt that there is something strange.. unnatural..
6 weeks later, I found that he is sick.. he has jaundice and they thought that it is natural to have it at birth..
We found that he has a very serious illness in his liver..
And if he didn’t has liver transplant..he is going to die
and he died after 6 months in the hospital. Subhan Allah..
That was a big test for me..I still fell pain for him, because I am his mother.
But I say: “For indeed, with hardship [will be] ease.”
because he died when the doctors separated him from the artificial respirator
that were keeping him alive, he already had brain death
When they separated him from the instruments..I prostrated to Allah..
Then I said to myself: I will have a lesson from this, Subhan Allah..
I said this story so many times..I usually do not cry!!
Alhamdulillah..I was sure that Allah had tested me..to be a better Muslima
My mother, who isn’t muslim..she was with me..she said to me: where is the goodness here?
I said to her..I will learn from this and I will be a better Muslima
That was the best thing I ever learned in my life..that with hardship [will be] ease.
and because of that I became a better Muslima..Alhamddulillah
“And We test you with evil and with good as trial”
i.e. We test you sometimes with problems..
And sometimes with grace..
And then We will observe you..who is going to complain and disbelieve!!
And who is going to thank and be patient!
This is how we are tested with hardship and with grace..
Today we believe in science very much..
We think that we can prove everything scientifically..
But actually.. eyes, for example, might see things differently..
I might see the blue in a way that is different from you!!
So, my advice is to be courageous and believe..even if you didn’t learn much..
because believe will bring you closer to Allah..Alhamdulillah
