أنعم الله الرحمن الرحيم، لي مع المعرفة الهائلة اليوم

According to Google translator the tittle of today's blog means: Allah (the most merciful) has bestowed upon me great knowledge today. I was going through a hard time, I had stopped my daily prayers. That is the most important part of being a Muslim, besides your testimony and believe that Allah is the one true God and the creator and that Muhammad (peace be upon him) was his last prophet. I had just gotten discouraged because I wasn't learning the Arabic as quickly as I had wanted. I am an English speaking women who has never spoken another language and I have a slight learning disability that make the written word hard for me to grasp sometimes. I wanted nothing more that to please Allah with my obedience and pray, but I let other discourage me. "YOU HAVE TO PRAY IN ARABIC !!" I heard this constantly so I decided to stop praying until I learned it. I feel like that was the worst decision I could have made. I have decided to do the best I can, using youtube videos and written notes to help me along until I am able to memorize the surahs. I have been a Muslim for 27 days only and before that I know of the pillars of faith and the core beliefs of Islam, but nothing more. This link inspired me to keep my faith and do what I can. As long as I keep Allah in my heart and Mind through-out the day I know he will guide me down the right path and help me to become proficient in my prayers. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AoJ5RK6UUBM This video link, an episode from The Deen Show has strengthened my faith, for any New Muslim convert, or non-Muslim considering converting I suggest checking it out.                                               -Salam (peace)
