I Am Enjoying Being A Muslim

I learned that truthfulness is composed of justice and courage.

Truth lifts the heart like water refreshes thirst. The greatest truth is honesty, and the greatest falsehood is dishonesty. As long as I am pure of heart, I speak the truth.

The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said:
[quote]Leave what puts you in doubt for what does not put you in doubt. The truth brings tranquility while falsehood sows doubt.[/quote]

[quote]You must be truthful. Verily, [u]truthfulness[/u] leads to [u]righteousness[/u] and righteousness leads to [u]Paradise[/u]. A man continues to be truthful and encourages honesty until he is recorded with Allah as [u]truthful[/u]. And beware of falsehood. Verily, [u]falsehood[/u] leads to [u]wickedness[/u] and wickedness leads to the [u]Hellfire[/u]. A man continues tell lies and encourages falsehood until he is recorded with Allah as a [u]liar[/u].[/quote]

@darktippedrose I was born in a Muslim family, but my interest in Islam grows every day. What would you like to know?

oh I'm Muslim. I was raised around Muslims, just not in a Muslim family per se. My biological father and bubbi were both Muslims. My mom was Christian. I wanted to know more about your story.

@darktippedrose My parents are both practicing Muslims. I don't have a particular story other than my journey that is ongoing to learn what being a Muslim really means.

@Madeleine alhamdullilah. you are learning. We are all works in progress, like I tell one of my daughters.
