Why Islam is The True Religion

unlucky or unloved? Your Journey to Independence
Reading Time: 6 minutesAs I have mentioned earlier, my life journey began early. It’s easy to understand: I became independent very early by limitations of my free will being compromised.
Around the age of 13-15, I started thinking about moving out, getting a job, and taking care of myself, all alone. Even though I had many friends, I always felt like an outsider within the group. This could stem from the fact that I was raised differently than my friends.

From Anger to Peace? How Faith Transformed My Life and Helped Me Overcome Adversity!

Among these are revealing clothing and acrylic nails (so that my Salah can be accepted In sha Allah), how I used to date a few years ago, avoiding Zina and Adultery. I have chosen to distance myself from anything that alters the natural beauty Allah has bestowed upon me. This commitment is part of my dedication to Islamic modesty and living a Muslim lifestyle that aligns with my faith.
