Message to the new Muslims.

As Salamu alaykumu wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuh.

May the peace, mercy and blessings of Allah be upon you.

You have accepted faith, you have accepted truth in Allah and His final Prophet.

You have become a member of the way of life that is expanding into households all over the globe.

Greetings and may Allah accept the best of your deeds and forgive your errors along the way.

Brothers and Sisters in Islam,

You may come across people that ask you ‘are you Muslim’? And the reply to that would be pretty straight forward, yes. And don’t we feel good when we say that?!

You may also come across people that ask you what type of Muslim you are and the answer to that would be again Muslim.

But what do you do when people tell you don’t read that stuff or keep away from those people? Even though the people they are telling you to keep away from call them-selves Muslims too.

What would you say or think, as a Muslim, if another Muslim told people to keep away from you?

This is the state of affairs amongst some of our Muslim brothers and sisters Allah forgive them.

But do not let this type of behaviour put you off, this is not the majority mentality alhamdulilah, try to keep associations with all your fellow Muslims and leave putting people in hellfire to Allah.

When you have contact with people you know how they think and they know how you think. When you have contact and ties with people you are able to understand them more and if they have some wrong ideas or concepts you are able to try and talk to them and perhaps change their thinking.

But if you avoid them, cut them off, accuse them, scowl at them, mock them and fight them then that is hardly going to change the world and bring about peace and understanding is it?

And is that not the way of destruction for all of us if we behave this way? Who needs to attack the Muslims when the Muslims attack themselves in that case?

Peace and unity and may your future be a bright one.

Wa salamu alaykum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuh.
