Refreshing faith

Faith is something that has the tendency to fluctuate. I've been out of the spiritual loop for a while and I was getting worried because that peacefulness that I would tend to feel just wasn't there. 

Today morning though I met someone who is a convert to Islam from Christianity and we had a long chat about everything. It really boosted my Imaan hearing how she found Islam and how it all made sense. To be frank, it is a religion that completely makes sense especially when compared to other religions. 

You believe in one God, you have no barrier between you and him, you stay away from vices like alcohol and gambling which are things that everyone knows are bad for you, you respect your parents, as a woman you cover modestly and so on. These are just the basics but it makes so much sense because it is absolutely logical. I'm not surprised that there are so many people who become Muslim. 

Obviously as a born Muslim you know these things already but sometimes when you hear converts talking about it, it really hits you again that yes, this is the one true religion and it refreshes your own faith. 

Next time your faith is down, go talk to a revert/convert and hear their stories. :-)
