About Me & The Blog

May 25, 2007 by Umm Yusuf

I am but one in over a billion…

Umm Yusuf is….A small town southern girl who had thought that she had lost her religion. Later, she was proven wrong when she found it in Islam. But that was just the beginning……much drama, tears, happiness and a million other emotions followed… and the story contines……

My goal for this blog is to share my experiences as a muslim convert and share Islamic information. If you are looking for debates then this is not the place for you as i will not indulge in debating or arguing my religion or way of life. However, if you are here to share your ideas and experiences in an intelligent way and with an open mind then welcome and enjoy!

I am not a writer. I do not profess or aspire to be one. My entries probably have plenty of gramatical errors and while I use spell check, I’m sure there are some misspelled words. But try to look beyond the writing to the core message of my posts. My mission is to get the ideas across as bumpy as the writing may be.

Hi. tnx for dropping a visit at my page. i have a soft spot in my heart for muslim people and i really don’t know how it all began. i am exposed to muslim friends when i was younger due to the location of my hometown — very near to the only islamic city in my country. it’s been awhile already that am having the thoughts on converting into islam but i just don’t know where to start.

Yes, you’ve put together a very nice blog indeed. I’m glad to see so many thoughtful Muslims doing this now; I converted 20 years ago, and for many of those years felt isolated, not fully part of the immigrant community but not able to fully participate in my old social circles anymore. I do believe another aspect of your da’wah is in throwing fellow converts a sort of lifeline by providing such a positive, constructive connection through your blog, “enjoining the good” as the Qu’ran instructs us to do.

Assalamu alaikum, Purple

I am very impressed by your blog. I am blogging for more than 2 years, but it is just now that I started searching for Islamic blogs, because after going to Islamic professional sites, I could not get the feeling of personal touch. I am linking your blog at my site, so check it, and if you feel place a comment.

I have recently moved my blog from 360 over to WordPress and I have been looking for other Muslimah’s who blog here. I found your site by clicking on a link from another page. InshaAllah I will check out the happenings and I hope you will come over to my blog and if you find something that interest you leave a comment. When I have some time I will leave a recipe for you. I absolutely love to cook!

I think you and I have the same opinion about Islam in a part or more. If you don’t mind to, I’d like to invite you for coming in to my blog. Perhaps you can see my thought about Islam then we can discuss more deeply about it.

May Allah bless you.
