It wasn't until after I graduated high school did I realize that something was lacking from my life. I didn't have, need or want anything specific, but something was missing. My family is not religious in any way shape or form. Yes we celebrate all the holidays but in all honesty it was just a convenient time everybody could get together. So when a friend of mine asked if I would like to go to a masjid for a function I was happy to go. Just to see old friends and socialize. While at the masjid I saw every single person praying at the same time in synchronized fashion, all focusing on the same goal-Allah. It was so moving and peaceful that I wanted to be apart of it too. So after some heavy reading and finding the courage to tell my family I just did it. August 21,2008 I said my Shahada. Alhamdallah
Jazakillahu Khayr.
