My husband and I were just talking about this a couple nights ago.  I have learned so much from this group and have things make more sense to me about Islam and a lot of things have even been brought to my attention about Christianity that I didn't know either.  My husband appreciates this group, though he's never been on here, because it "makes his job easier".  He told me he is surprised at how much I have learned in such a short time and it has even brought us closer together.   Thanks ladies!

dear Brandie. what a wonderful thing to say, thank you for sharing your feelings with us. I am so glad that this group has helped you in understanding more about Islam and in making your husband's job easier ( that is one thing husbands like more than anything else.. having someone else do a job for them LOL .. hee heee heee.

Being a part of the discussion here has really opened my eyes to the beauty of the Islamic faith.  If I believed in god, I'd probably convert to Islam.  It is more concrete, consistent, and sensible than any other faith I have ever seen (and I've studied a lot over my short life), and makes more sense to me (mostly) than any other as well.

In short, I have learned a lot from you all, and for that I'm eternally grateful.  You've shown me that Islam is a beautiful faith comprised of a family of sisters and brothers.  When my brother converted, I was worried at first, but now I am very happy for him, and proud of him too.

there are actually no words that I can think of right now to describe how touched, happy, and humbled I am at this very moment reading your words.
thank you for sharing. and thank you for making my "week"

it is testimonies like yours, and the other Christian and non Muslim sisters that take the time to visit us here and reach out. that gives us hope that this world is not as bad as it seems to be.

it also means that getting carpal tunnel from all the typing on this board is totally  worth it ( LOL)

Peace Gemaecca i read ur post to sister proud you know when Allah wills you to be on the straight path you never can fight it, dont let satan win if u are ready just say the shahada b/c if u let satan win then u lose forever and if u win over satan u win forever.......you said ur brother took shahada

why dont u let him give u shahada or us let me know if u want to call me....shahada is so easy   La Iliha illilah Mohammad Rasoolulah (There is no God but Allah and Mohammad is the messenger)  which mean you accept Mohammad and all the other Messengers before him......take care

Thank you practicingislam for your touching message.  I don't feel it's right for me to take shehada at this time because I don't believe in god or angels.  Although I believe fully in most of the Islamic teachings and values, I couldn't rightly say shehada or call myself Muslim because of that.  I would feel bad if I did.  I take religion too seriously to do that.  Do you understand?  Maybe someday, if Allah really exists, he will show me that he is there and then I will say shehada, but not before then.  But if I say shehada now, I will only be lying, and I don't want to do that.

Maybe someday though.  Thank you for your message and peace to you and yours.

I love this group and all the wonderful women that are a part of it!  I started reading/questioning over on Club Mom.  This group has really helped me to have a deeper appreciation/understanding of Islam.  The reality shared here (your stories of your life, how you practice your faith, etc..) is very different from what you get off the TV or other media forms.  I wish everyone could be exposed to this board.  I think it would change the minds/hearts of a lot of people.

I feel something on this board (I actually find it calming to read the posts, everyone is so respectful), and really relate to many of the values of Islam, and love seeing it in practice on this board.
