New sister Ola, accepts Islam at RIS convention

[alnimritiger]

Masha Allah wa al humdulillah

may allah bless u sister

[FreeHandMehndi]

I think it is important to make sure the sisters permission is given before this video is posted. She may be a hijabi now, and we should respect her privacy, and encourage modesty. I do understand the intention of posting this video, which is good. But still, this sister may be a hijabi now, and may not want this all over the internet.

[cloakle555pelunker]

this thing almost always make me cry...but m a dude...dude dont cry..at least not in publicly....islam is deep,..when Allah caught your heart..nothing can shake it free.

[lidogil]

MashaAllah!!

[pal2022v]

May God protect and help you sis

[waseem64134]

As muslims it is our job to be there for our new muslims brothers and sisters so please if you know any in your community esp. during Ramadan, take that time to see if they need help and be a mentor for them. May Allah (SWT) guide us all on the straight path to Him. Ameen. JazakAllahu Khairon.

[Mogarchikin]

Shukran Lilahh

[canadamuslim]

maybe the brother forgot may allah forgive him

[damasgate]

you make me cry...so mech e-cry

[Tuancobra71]

Congratulation Ola, Alhamdulilah thank of god. Heavent is yours already. You must go to Malaysia or Indonesia to learn in "PONDOK SCHOOL" of Al-quraan...Congrat one more.God belss you.

[sajad14]

is there a link or video where we can watch the full RIS event

[rasheedjo]

Allaho Akbar

you made me cry sister ola

[haticlassic]

Subhanallah.....

Alhamdulillah..........

AllahuAkhbar...

[Gabrielitodlp]

....dahhh...of course I did not know how to pray, I had just reverted...did he take the time to show me...NO So stop wasting time criticizing others and use it for dawah and to teach new Muslims their faith, with the best words and love. PEACE SALAAM

[MuslimReverts]

I could not have put it better myself. Jazak Allahu khairan for your comment and may he bless and protect you and increase your faith and knowledge. Step by step is what works well. One can not shove a whole new way of life down the throat of new Muslims and expect it to be easy. Let them do it at their own pace and be there to help and support them. I pray that things are going better now for you brother and I hope that other brothers have stepped up to help you learn.

Salaam

[entifain]

May God bless you; actually there is saying from Prophet Mohammad advising to advance slowly in Islam.

May God protect and help you.

[Gabrielitodlp]

Sometimes "born" Muslims make it soooo dificult for new Muslims, saying this is haram, that is haram, haram haram haram. First show them the tauhid, to love Allah and his messenger, the prayer and all the basics; make them strong in tauhid then show them the rules and they will accept them beacuse in there heart the love for the Creator has been established firmly. We criticeze...when I reverted to Islam, a brother came to me and told me I did not know how to pray

[hgavdtd7]

Allahu Akbar ... Islam the best religion

[cocobeware123]

say mashaallah or alhamdulilah that this sister converted to islam,but all you could think of is a man shaking a woman hand.

[hbbaig]

Yes its forbidden in islam for men to shake women's hand and even touch.

[hamaidmk]

niyat is very important, a brother and sister even if not blood siblings can shake hand but niyat is very important. Everything of Islam rest on niyat. please comment and guide me if I am wrong. your brother.

[oukht3]

For RIS 2008, I saw 4 people who converted to islam (these past two days, al hamdullilah)

[MichaelPalin181]

Where can i watch RIS 2008, espeically Shaykh Hamza Yusuf? Thanks.

[NiNaBoNz]

I wanted to go to RIS 2008 Reaaally badly :( . My Friends went, friends of the family... But only told us on the 3rd day of RIS '08 , about it! Inchaallah I will be going next year... Where can we find information about it??

[chocolate12447]

[easyonetwothree]

MashAllah may Allah give her Jannah, may he guide us All Ameen

[f4f44000s]

masha allah....and nice nasheed

[merazkaa]

machallah ............I like that

[eemmmaaadd]

if you don't know the islam then you will don't know the relly happyness

[arabianchilli]

why did he shake her hand- isn't it haram .. in islam for the man to have physical contact .. with another women?....

[sydboy84]

It is haram. These things happen. May all guide them.

[linaestelle2]

during the time of the prophet Muhammad peace be on Him, man didn't shake hand with women, it is better if we follow the foot step of the prophet peace be on him

sub7an allah

[malikbi1]

Mash'ALLAH!  ALLAH'O'AKBAR!

[xqxqo]

mahashala welcome sister

[ronothedem]

I think the guy who escorted her is her muslim fianceee or husband.

Mashallah, very moving.

[crazylilafghanwaffle]

ya Allah have mercy on her soul and bless her to be a great sister that becomes an example to us all. AMEEN.

Masha Allah, I got teary, too. It's beautiful to see how Allah guides people to Islam and bit emotional for me. Ya Rabb, guide us all to the straight path. Ameen.

[WhoMedia]

Please do not generalize by calling "Westerners" nonsensical and then call them to Islam.

There are a lot of crazy people in the Eastern world as well.

I don't think there is any benefit of splitting the world into East/West, etc. God made us all, and sent guidance in the Qur'an for everyone.

[PastorGeezuss]

WhoMedia Well said...

There is a very interesting verse in the Quran:

Chapter 47 (Muhammed) verse 38...

We Muslims need to pay attention to that very carefully...

[studentofsacredilm]

OMG, what an awesome nasheed!!

mashAllah

where did you get it from????

[edelbolbol]

ما شاء الله

اللهم بارك بها و احمها و يسر لها امرها و ثبتها على طريق الصواب

[usma2]

Alhamdulellah

God bless you sister Ola

[ialrai]

who is the man escorting ola after she entered her new faith?

[ronothedem]

I think he's her muslim fiancee or husband.

[islamic613]

One question, WHY did the 2 men shake her hand, is that not allowed in Islam?

[alphamain]

It depends on who you ask? Islam has different school of thoughts like Christianity. Muslim only have one Al Quran unlike Christians having many types and revised bibles.

[Muslimprincess79]

I'm so sad at the person taping this (not really) but when people take shahadah it already makes me emotional and hearing her cry made me cry more....Allahu Akbar!!!

[Muslimprincess79]

BECAUSE THEY ARE HAPPY!!!!

[Anamal123]

@nizareads: Assalamu Alaikkum to you too! I believe the song in the background of this video is called "Mawlay". Just type this up & you can listen to it on youtube.

you will find over 100 different listings. You can also search google, add mp3 to the name of the nasheed. you can find many of them, I appologize for not knowing the name of the person who preforms it in the clip.

[ArPalCan]

The song's name is like MuslimReverts said is Burdah and it's sung by Mesut Kurtis.

[zubimama001]

islam will prevail because when truth comes falsehood perishes and falsehood by its nature bound to be perished.

[Libyanhero]

This event is held in Toronto, Canada I been there many times

[MuslimReverts]

Salaam, Thank you bother for your clarification. Jazak Allahu Khairan

[MuslimReverts]

This event was held in the US, so I assume she is an American lady.

[taano71]

[ghostmanno12]

lol at how they just said (practically) "stuff the english version, your a muslim already"

[MuslimReverts]

Salaam Alikum brother,

The Nasheed at the end of this clip is a nasheed praising and expressing love for our great Prophet (May Allah's peace and blessings be upon him his family and his companions).

The name of it is: Qasida Burda

If you do a search in Youtube, you will find many versions of it.

Salaam Alikum.

[ghostmanno12]

wa alaykumusalam

[MuslimReverts]

Salaam brother,

There is more about the organization in the video info box above including their website address.

The brother in thee clip is Shiekh Tareq Suwaidan.

[ghostmanno12]

[MuslimReverts]

Salaam,

You are right, there was a brief view of Shiekh Zaid Shakir on the video projector at the end. But the brother in the video (with the while headress) was Tareq Suwaidan.

[gufran12]

aasalamwalikum sister insha allah we pray for u  allah give u right path.

[NEfobbyGEN]

I was here at this convention and witnessed this conversion. I also met with the woman after, and welcomed her. I assured her that we are glad to have her.

[WeBorn2DieAnyTime]

Asalaam aleykum, Masha Allah sis welcome to ISLAM and

Just a reminder to all muslims By sayying TAKBIIR ALLAHU AKBAR is more better than claping hands
