Sister welcome to Islam. Followers of Islam called Muslim not Muslimah. There is no such word in Quran or Hadith. I am observing this in reverted Muslims. Actually, in Arabic grammar a prefix is added with verb to make it noun. For example, in Arabic SAFOR means travel. The person do SAFOR is called MOO-SAFOR or Moo-Saafeer. In English ER is added at the end. So the followers of Islam is called MOO- ISLAM or MOOSLIM or Muslim. In Islam everything is specified not like Christianity.

@mdkhanshah Assalamu alaikum. I'm aware that the term Muslimah is not a proper term - I used it out of playfulness, hence the brackets around the a and h (ah).... but I appreciate the lesson. Jazakallahu khair.

Born Euro-Muslim, it was difficult for me to become a "better" Muslim as I was labeled a "fanatic" by my fellow (so-called) muslim-by-name friends (who drink, and such).

Thank you for your honesty and your strength.

@kdog60645 I had similar difficulties here myself.

May Allah(swt) give us strength and friends who will support our Islam in this world. Ameen.

@matthewparr I've been a Muslim for nearly 10 years... I've lost count of how many times I've read the Qu'ran. So, I win the challenge. What's my prize?

Sister, i am a convert like you & want to say thank you for this video. As I was watching it, it reminded me that we are not alone in our search for rightfulness. I was also at the receiving end of all those "reasons" for converting mainly the one about "converting for the love of my husband". I am married & Mashaallah my husband NEVER "forced" me to change. He was here to support me in making my own mind. I am educated enough to choose my path through life & AlHamduLillah, never been happier!!

Good work sister.

being a muslim is your connection with Allah and there always be some people who will comment positivly or negativily. but does that matter?

You are indeed lucky and the chosen one.

Subhan'Allah you found the Path to Allah(SWT)! I too, am a revert woman & have found some of the same attitudes. Just know you're not alone...

@Tuphut And all you proved with your short, pointless reply was "I'm just a troll, who didn't actually want to engage in any discussion.. and I don't like replying to people who challenge me."

Fun! Take care of yourself :)
