From Hopelessness To Happiness

“I am full-blooded Native American from the Dineh (Navajo) and Apache-Chiracuahua tribes. I am a former Marine and have been Muslim now for 3 years and 7 months, Alhamdulillah.” -Sr. LaTanya Barlow

How much do you know about native people in America?
Have you ever talked to a native American Muslim?

Come and hear the story of Sister LaTanya, from alcoholism to sweetness of faith, from low-self esteem of man-made social orders to the dignity of Islam.

Here are some testimonials from people who knew her story:
“I was moved, inspired, and touched.” -A.S

Event 3:

From Rock Bottom To The Surface, By The Grace of Allah

Just when a believer feels secure from the consequences of his sins, they sneak up upon him and possibly destroy him, and just when the believer is about to despair from the mercy of Allaah and expect destruction, Allaah’s mercy encompasses him and saves him due to his repentance.

The above lines summarize my life and the ups and downs I went through. I ask Allaah to grant me and you the gratefulness to His Majesty for giving us another chance to know more about Him.

Wajdi Abu Mussab (former lost Muslim, now working at the Dawah Center in Jeddah)

Here are some testimonials about Abu Mussab:
“Flaming energetic speaker, mashaAllah… love to hear from him again and again” -bro

    My new life resolution :)

    1- Sleep early and wake up early
    2- Read the Quran once a month
    3- Get married

    I think biggest challenge is how to discipline oneself.

  • LaTanya

    My New Life Resolution – After Ramadan
    1. Seeking Knowledge
    a. Filtering for proper and sound information (i.e. Allah, books, www, etc.)
    b. Truth and facts -v- falsehood and lies
    c. Reflecting.
    2. Increasing good deeds
    a. Taking advantage of the small deeds
    b. Remaining consistent
    c. Making a weekly commitment for at least one good deed with proper
    intention, insha’Allah.
    3. Da’wah
    a. To my family/household = Setting an ‘example’
    b. To youth in my community/Ummah = ‘Strength’ by truth/knowledge
    c. To non-Muslims = Supporting positive ‘change’

    And Allah SWT’s Plan supercedes all plans, I only ask His Guidance & His Help, without associating partners with Him. Allahumma Amiin.

  • TheNEWMe

    My goals for this Ramadan.

    as salaam alaikum LaTanya. masha allah sister . i was so surprised to come across you and so happy alhamdulillah. a few years Before i reverted to islam, i actually lived with the ojibwa in canada for a while on a rez, i look back now and think that was part of my spiritual journey that got me to where i am now.

  • Mishkaatul Masabeeh

    Assalamu a’lykum w.w
    My main resolution is always the same:
    Seek Knowledge.
    It has been emphasised greatly in Islam, The prophet Muhamamad (May Allah’s peace and belssings be upon him):
    Seeking knowledge is a must for every muslim.
    So by fulfilling this, I am Alhumdulilah getting knowledge for deen, this inshaAllah will complete in 2 years, as at the moment I am becoming an Aalim Alhumdulilah.
    But, before that, (speaking on behalf of all taalibe- ulooms),respect is important.More inportant than acquiring the knowledge it self! How can anyone expect to benefit from the knoweldge they have been given, if they do not repect their hounorable teachers?! There is a saying that goes : What goes around, comes around.
    Which a matter a fact is very true. As same applies here, if one does not respect the giver of knowledge (ie-teachers), they will not gain respect themselves from their own student.
    So my very brief message here today is, respect your teachers, only then will you gain the true benefit of ilm.
    So the resolution is to try your’s and mine up most best to respect teachers. An a teacher is not only one who you learn from in the schools/colleges/universities or Islamic classes, but they are anyone who gives you even a drop of knowledge.
    May Allah (swt) forgive all our shortcomings and give us the tawfeeq and hidayah to act upon what has been taught to us.Ameen thumma Ameen, wa aakirul da’wana wal humdulilahi rabbil Aalimeen.

    Duas requested for the whole ummah and this servant.

    As Salaamu Alaikum,

    During Ramadan I received what I think was a message from Allah while reading the Quran. It was simply stated in Surah Barakah. Forgive and overlook in English. We must learn to forgive others as Allah forgives us and overlook their faults. I am working on this as my new life resolution. Keep me in your prayers.

    I pray Allah (SWT) to make me a better person each day. To gain more knowledge about my deen. Alhamdulilah I would consider myself a practicing muslimah, but I have a lot learn insha Allah.

    The second thing that I want is to become OBY (Female Doctor) so that I can help my Muslim sisters who are in need of medical treatment but cannot afford. I have Bachelor of pre-med. Money is my number 1 issue to apply for med school for me and is really hard to borrow without interest. I just cry when I listen to some of the sisters who are sick but cannot go to the Doctor bec. they don’t have money (specially OBY). Insha Allah I put my trust in Allah and I want to do things in halal way, whatever Allah wills for me insha Allah. Allah knows my intentions is to help the Muslim women who are in need, and of course others as well who are not Muslims.

    My short term goal is to get good grades in school. It is my dream that once inshallah I become a teacher I am going to help my parents and the poor. I want to be a better child to my parents. Our parents deserve much more than we think. Todays’ youth saddens me knowing how they disrespected their parents and don’t appreciate them. I want to be inshallah a good wife. Most importantly, I want to be a better of Allah (SWT).

    All of us need to work in our Ikhlaq, for indeed the prophet (SWT) said the best of you are those who have the best of manners.

    Forgive it is not an exact quote.

    To pay off all my loans, please ask dua for me, I started a biz with 11000USD loan and now the biz is closed and working while trying to pay the loan.
    I have no idea or no way of how to pay which has to be done within 18months while monthly investment return too is being added in addition to 11k which i am yet to pay so eventually it will be like 13-14k, i either pay it now through some means and avoid the investment return being accumulated or pay all in 18 months. God I just need a way to pay it off and please help me to do so. ameen.

    Assalaam Alaikum dear sisters and brothers,

    my goal in life is to worship Allah all my life, and to be among those that are going to revive Allah’s religon from the moral degeneration it is facing today. We are just playing with Allah’s religon rightnow, and trying to live our lives to fit in with the kuffar.Allah does not need any of us, and He can so easily replace us with even better people than us that will even love Him so much more than us and live their lives to please Him. Allah’s religon is going to be revived whether we want it or not, so it is now our decision. Do we wanna be among the people that revive Allah’s religon or do we wanna be among those people that are going to be humiliated and raised with the kuffar on the day of judgement just coz we lived our lives copying them, and trying to fit in with them. We should always remember that all that we do in the way of Allah is for our own benefit. And the decision is clearly ours. The first step we should take to this goal is to change what is in our hearts. And make what is in our hearts be reflected through our limbs by acting it out. And the next step would be to teach it to others and also encourage so many others to do the same. I pray that Allah may have mercy on our ummah and forgive us our sins, and not replace us with others. I pray that Allah may make all of us among those people that will revive His deen and may He the almighty protect us from the punishments of the grave and the hell fire.

    All I want is my faith back
    here is my story

    In this Ramadan, I really wanted to do more for Allah, so I started reading Quran, praying the nawafel (extra prayers) and going to qiyam el layl and I was very happy. My du3a was like Allah I want to spend my hole life serving You. But in the last 15 days of Ramadan, I started having weird thinkings about Allah and Islam, like if God really existed and things like that. So I got really scared because I started doubting and thought this would cancel my faith and that I became a kafira. I went crazy in my head and I used to cry all the time but I couldn’t fell my faith in Allah like before. And what scared me more was the fact that all this happened in the month of Ramadan wich is a blessing month.

    Now, 20 days after EID, I Don’t have these thinkings anymore, but I fell that I don’t have faith anymore. I force myself to believe in Allah, but I just don’t feel it anymore. Like before when I used to say InchAllah or Hamdoulillah, I really used to mean it, but today I doesn’t mean anything to me. I really want my faith back and please Help me. I’m trying to find what could I have done wrong to be punished like this. I have talked to my mother about this problem (she is a good muslim), and she said that faith comes and goes and this is maybe an ibtilaa (test) from Allah. I stick to the idea that Allah is Wadood and that he loves us and that one day, I will have faith again. But now, I’m like If I’m wrong and Allah exists, I’m going to hell because I’m a kafira because I doubt.

    I hope that you have understood my problem, please help me before it’s too late. Sorry for my bad english actually it’s not my first language

  • Young Anonymous Muslimah

    Salaams, this is to the anonymous who asked about hifz,
    the most important things you can do is keep trying, and work to your ability, if you can learn a page a day, learn it, but if you can’t, just do what you can. work at a good pace, where you can keep up with revising what you have already learnt, and you can retain the new parts that you have learnt aswell.
    Also, trust me, there will be times when you wish you didn’t start it, or youjust think “its toooo hard!” but don’t give up, just keep going!
    And finally, enjoy it, because when you finish, (if you’re like me) you’ll miss learning the new parts, so make the most of it,
    keep it sincere,
    Wassalam.

    Hope the advice was helpful, (Insha’Allah)

  • P – In response to Rehma Selmi Said.

    Bismillah.

    To sister: RAHMA SELMI SAID

    Waalaikum assalam wa rahmatullah,

    A Sheikh once advised me the following things for removing waswas/doubts related to faith:

    (1) Seek refuge in Allah constantly (Auzubillaahi minash shaitaanir rajeem).

    (2) Whenever the doubts come (or even as a regular practice), repeat this: آمَنْـتُ بِاللهِ وَرُسُـلِه
    Transliteration: “Aamantu billaahi wa Rusulih”
    Translation: “I have believed in Allah and His Messenger”
    InshaAllah you’ll feel calmer and the doubts will flee.

    (3) Seek Allah’s forgiveness & whatever wrong thoughts enter your mind, you must renounce them. Means you should fight off the thoughts, not believe them. In your heart you must know that these doubts are only waswasa from shaitan and not at all true. So please keep asking Allah to forgive you & to protect you from the evil waswas.

    (4) Make dua to Allah to renew your faith & to protect & preserve your eman.
    Allah’s Messenger (peace & blessings of Allah be upon him) has said:
    “Faith wears out in the heart of any one of you just as clothes wear out, so ask Allah to renew the faith in your hearts.”

    (5) Recite Surah Falaq & Surah An-Naas often & in general do your best to adhere to the deen.

    InshaAllah, you’ll find benefit in the above.

    If you need a sister to talk to, or discuss this further, please feel free to take my Email address from the admin of this website & Email me.

    Make Allah protect you!

    Wassalam,

  • A Muslimah

    “What are the challenges that you or friends face when
    pursuing a dream or implementing a change in life?”

    Some challenges include:

    1. Bad organizational skills/time management…making it hard to implement the changes and easy to procrastinate.
    2. “Dreaming” without putting an action plan
    3. Making a plan that’s too hard to implement – expecting a big change quickly
    4. Inconsistency/not following through
    5. Blaming things on others or environment around instead of taking responsibility for not getting where we want to get

    Allaah knows best.

  • Nabila

    Assalammu’alaikum…

    Bismillah. One of the hardest thing is the challenges that Allah puts along the way to test us, to see if the intention to change or to pursue that dream is lillahita’alah. Sometimes, these challenges make me want to give up and then I begin to question why I wanted to pursue it in the first place. But more importantly, the fact that Allah put that good thought in my head in the first place becomes the strongest motivation for me to go ahead with my plans.

    Wallahua’lam.

  • ihate evil n corruption

    BISMILLAH……………wow only 1 challenge can i list em as i remember them? well one being i have no financial support although im married.. we’re poor people n its hard for poor people to get ahead in life.. i cant get a job cuz i have no experience or college.. i cant go to college cuz i cant afford to pay.. u know of course people have told me about taking out a loan but cmon interest is usury remember? but i hear all types of stuff like this is america u gotta do what u gotta do n stuff like that but i dont know, bad enough i have my weaknesses in my faith but to add something i dont even want to do to the list of sins? cmon!.. my biggest thing is knowing what kind of limits is ALLAH giving me here? the quran is a guide til the end of time but i mean really the west especially america is disgusting i really cant find a way out of it… n then theres the hijab thing.. yea in my hijab i look very foreign, i dont wear the solid colored skirts n blazers like some other women. those sisters are skinny(er) and u cant see nothing on them but i am quiet the opposite i am a big woman n i need to cover a certain way that american clothes dont do… n then not to mention my anti social agoraphobic personality various forms of child abuse have left me with a high level of anxiety and self consciousness i just dont deal well with people in general im very closed off.. the only time i can shine through as myself is when im left to complete anonymity and in the place of my home .. people think theyve made things so much better by modernizing everything but quiet the contrary i cant remember a time in history where things were worse … I SEEK REFUGE IN ALLAH from the torment of the grave the hellfire and the dajjal…………. by the way things look his shackles are being loosened even as we speak…………

    I want to make Masjid Al Aqsa free with my kids and other moslems inshaallah. I am praying for that 11 years and hope inshaallah that we will do that.
    The worst thing I can see on this dunya are kids, women and older crying during wars in their countries and prayers who are not able to pray in Holy masjid!!
    Also I wish to keep my heart clean till the end of my life.

    With nafs and with shaytan is easy to fight. But with other people is very hard!!!
    Even you read Qur’an and pray and do “hard” things peaople are still there to make you crazy. Even u say Aozobillah min As-shaytaan Er-rajeem peaople are still there near you. (talking about moslems).

    I wish them all became good, with clean hearts without any sharr or bad thinking.
    Only with clean hearts we will rich our goals. Allahu 3alam.

    Assalam’alaikum warah matul lahi wabar katuhu

    Dear brothers and sisters.

    I was always wondering, where to express what I really feel to do.

    now alhumdulillah I got a chance to share.

    thnx for this.

    my dream is to bring people especially Muslims on one platform of Faith.

    as I belongs to Pakistan where majority is illiterate.

    what all i’ve felt when i went for doing some research is that most of the research has been available in english , arabic, farsi,which is more convinient.

    my dream is to establish an institute, which provide and make people to come and learn the languages which can help them to do research and become literate by their own. and this should be free of cost.

    but the whole pattern to teach this is to make people aware of ISLAM .

    so they could see things under Islamic perspective.

    the only fee which i wanted to ask for is to spread the message of Islam the way Prophet Muhammad p.b.u.h taught us to spread.. through different means.

    In my view, media is the main source, through which we can take advantage.

    due to less awareness among people about their rights in our society . specially where i live.. make them stay back.

    this hesitation should be rectify to make them come up with new ideas and methods..

    I hope my dream will come true..

    Problem:

    the only problem which i am facing is to convince people to help me in this project.

    when I personally don’t feel that individually i could do this.. and inshaAllah one day by the grace of Allah i’ll be successful..

    so all i need is your prayer and pray for me that Allah swt keep me on straight path..

    fi aman Allah

    jazakAllah khair

    What are the challenges that you know one may face when pursuing a dream or implementing a change?

    The challenges one may face when pursuing a dream or implementing a change vary depending on what that dream or change is. However, the overcoming of a particular obstacle may almost guarantee one’s success in the pursue of a dream or implementation of a change and that is determination.

    I believe it is almost always in our heads. I believe nothing is impossible if one is determined to accomplish it. I don’t believe anything has ever happened without this determination and nothing ever will. All things seem to be impossible, but anyone with enough determination and will can accomplish anything.

    Our biggest challenge happens to be tackling our families..whether our dream revolves around deen or whether it be an academic dream, we all find our families are one of the biggest difficulties we face. Maybe it’s us being the ‘next generation’ and finding their ideas old and ancient…Nonetheless for myself and my friends, having to handle family is the biggest fear and challenge!

  • Shams

    Hmmmm it looks like all of us have different goals.
    Once when UMMAH start to work on the same goal it be wonderful time inshaallah :)
    I know meny people with different projects. very good projects. They face problems with people. No one want help them; some moslems started to make SAME SAME projects just to be leaders not folowers :)
    We all want to be leaders!! We should be leaders in helping others.

    The most difficult thing about change for me, is break and creating new habits. I read a book that says that your habits create your life. I also, had a friend that told me that, “Old habits are just like a warm bed, easy to get into and hard to get out.” I am convinced that philosophies create your habits. And so does our perception on different things in life. Remember this…Your philosophy creates your attitude, your attitude creates your actions and your results creates your life!

  • http://jgrado.qhealthandbeauty.com Justina

    Salaam,

    The first point I’d like to make is that the best leaders are the best followers. We should all strive to be “Go-Givers”, and “serving leaders” to lay a strong foundation for any project we take on.

    I’d say the biggest challenge I’ve faced when attempting to develop community projects(such as Mosaic Sisterhood of Islam, and a youth group) is the unwillingness(on part of the community in general) to change.
    I am a convert to Islam, and so my vision is a more unified, diverse, judgment-free Umma that adapts to the times in order to embrace more people in to the gentle folds of our beautiful religion.
    Since converts do not usually have a middle eastern or Islamic background or culture, we kind of develop our own, using Islam as the core and base. In this situation it is difficult and at times very frustrating to break past others’ deeply ingrained cultural background to uncover the true meaning of togetherness, community and sister/brotherhood.
    So without further complaining, which wasn’t my intent by the way, I would just like to encourage all of you, brothers and sisters, to reflect deeply on the pure, perfect Islam and to move forward in to a more welcoming and productive community; a people that moves with the times but is also a pillar of truth and justice and a shining example for the world. God-willing adapting this view will spread the message of our beloved Prophet Muhammed(s) more fervently, like wild fire, igniting the hearts of people that have been cold for too long, and will be an outstanding sign to Allah that we are indeed ready for His Guided One to march us in to a peaceful and just future.

    May Allah accept our prayers :)

  • fatima

    Aslam alkum,
    As a new convert not long ago i wanted to become the best as i could so i practice islam to the pinch of salt hehe i mean i did everything to make myself perfect in islam i would pray fard and sunnah and witr i would read 4 or 5 books on islam a day stay awake all night to learn qur’an and learn about islam on paltalk about 6 hours a day and everything you can imagine about islam i was doing then i found after about 3 months i just slowley stopped practicing i stopped praying i sleeping for longer hours and i really felt deppressed because i could not keep this lifestyle for long time. So then i make duaa’s and talk to sisters and watch islamic vidoes and nasheeds to help me feel bad thati have stopped and then i will make more duaa to allah (swt) and ask him to have mercy and peace upon me an my fellow brothers and sisters in islam then i will get up and say alahmdullilah, mashallah alah (swt) always listens and acts upon my duaa’s inshallah,

    my adivce is for new muslims dont rush into being the best you can from the start take small steps to rich the top of the mountian because if you take big steps to get to the top your legs will get tierd and you wont have much intention to get to the top and want to give up but if you take your time and go slowly to get to the top and ask for help from allah (swt) then he can help you reach your goal but dont rush yourself because you wont be able to abtain your standers after a long time

    so inshallah i hope everyone reflects upon this and think of this as a new start inshallah may allah bless me and all the muslims and muslimahs out there and help the non muslims open there hearts to he one who created them inshallah ameen

    take care wa salam fatima xx

    Asalamu alakum all, i can say that one challenge that i face when trying to implement a change in life: is having a hard time leaving the ordinary. It so hard to change when your so comfortable.However, when you know that you have to make this change, you will strive and do all that it takes to make your change,and reach that goal. So, you can take it one day at a time and sooner the later your almost there.Therefore, it’s that much closer then your starting distance.

    Asalamu Alaykum,

    I would like to comment about sister La Taya’s story.

    Mansha’Allah what a great story of hope. I’m trully happy for you La Taya and I ask Allah sw that he protects and keeps guiding you to the right path forever and always. It’s inspiring that you have defeated your struggle with alcahol…it gives me hope personally because my brother who I love dearly is struggling with Alcohol and drugs. There are a lot of times when the entire family almost loses hope and we just want to give up on him. It’s so hard and depressing to see how much someone close to you struggles with such disgusting things like alcahol and drugs but not have the power to make them just stop. To hear your story gives me so much hope and encouragement. I ask you and all other Muslims to pray for my brother and those who are on the wrong path and those who are struggling with inner demons and temptations…Insha’Allah one day I hope to see my brother say that he cannot even stand the smell of alcahol.
