The beauty of Islam can be seen through the many different races and nationalities of Muslims. Islam is filled with Muslims who are from all across the world. Our religion invites everyone despite the colour of your skin and the language that you speak. I always feel so blessed to be a part of this beautiful religion that is more colourful than the rainbow.

If you asked me 6 months ago what my religion was, I would tell you Christianity. If you asked me why, I would tell you because it’s all I have ever known, it’s what my grandparents are, it’s who my grandparents are. But here is what you don’t know.
I was born and raised in an orthodox Christian family which includes the routine of going to church every Sunday, attending regular prayer meetings and sermons. I grew up with a strong belief that there is a God, but I was never a religious person.
The Prophet (peace be upon him) has said: “Convey from me, even one verse.” (Bukhari)

In the name of Allah…
When our imaan is at its lowest level, we have to stop and think back, in order to boost our imaan. We have to ask ourselves: What is our mission in life?
