| My dearest Brothers and Sisters, Assalamu alaikum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuhu :) I pray that all of you are with peace, happiness and rising iman. So many of my prayers have been answered recently! My faith is increasing at rapid rates, Alhamdulillah! I have some really good news….. Yesterday, I was standing in my kitchen and I had a knock on my living room door. I opened it and literally stumbled back in shock!!! It was my Mother, my beautiful Mother. She hasn’t spoken to me in over a year and a half, since I converted!! I was trembling…I think I asked her to come in but I can’t remember. I was still in shock. She came in…and she HUGGED me!!! *sob* It was a little uncomfortable at first. She didn’t know what to say, and neither did I. Apparently, my friend Ali (May Allah(swt) bless him for what he did), who’s mom just passed away, got in contact with her and told her how important having a mother is, how life is just not the same without those you love and how much I need her in my life, being sick and all. We sat for a few hours just talking and drinking tea. She asked me how my health was. If I needed anything. She asked me about Islam…*sigh* (wonderful) She remarked on how calm I am, how my demeanor has changed in a positive way. She asked me if I was happy. I told her that I would be happier if she remained in my life… I sat down in front of her, face to face, took her hand in mine and told her that I loved her, that I was still her little girl, that I needed her in my life, and that I have not changed who I am. She actually said that she admires my strength and courage to practice Islam. She said that if these are my desires, and I want to live my life as a Muslim, then she will try her best to accept it, but that I shouldn’t expect it to happen overnight. I grabbed her and hugged her and told her that no matter how much time it took, I would be patient!! :) When she left she said that she would call me. I hope and pray that she does. I pray that this is the beginning of something wonderful....Masha’Allah, I might have my Mom back! :) I have so much more news to tell all of you...I just can’t now. I’ll post later, insha’Allah. Wa’assalam, Serena |

| Assalaamu alaikum wa rahmatullah, Alhamdulillah, that's great news. Insha'Allah she will become a Muslim before she meets her Creator; you seem like an excellent example for her...I was reminded of this story below, here's an excerpt from the following link: http://www.usc.edu/dept/MSA/history/biographies/sahaabah/bio.ABU_HURAYRAH.html Abu Hurayrah stayed in Tihamah for several years and it was only at the beginning of the seventh year of the Hijrah that he arrived in Madinah with others of his tribe. The Prophet had gone on a campaign to Khaybar. Being destitute, Abu Hurayrah took up his place in the Masjid with other of the Ahl as-Suffah. He was single, without wife or child. With him however was his mother who was still a mushrik. He longed, and prayed, for her to become a Muslim but she adamantly refused. One day, he invited her to have faith in God alone and follow His Prophet but she uttered some words about the Prophet, which saddened him greatly. With tears in his eyes, he went to the noble Prophet who said to him: "What makes you cry, O Abu Hurayrah?" "I have not let up in inviting my mother to Islam but she has always rebuffed me. Today, I invited her again and I heard words from her which I do not like. Do make supplication to God Almighty to make the heart of Abu Hurayrah's mother incline to Islam." The Prophet responded to Abu Hurayrah's request and prayed for his mother. Abu Hurayrah said: "I went home and found the door closed. I heard the splashing of water and when I tried to enter my mother said: "Stay where you are, O Abu Hurayrah." And after putting on her clothes, she said, "Enter!" I entered and she said: "I testify that there is no god but Allah and I testify that Muhammad is His Servant and His Messenger." "I returned to the Prophet, peace be on him, weeping with joy just as an hour before I had gone weeping from sadness and said: "I have good news, O Messenger of Allah. God has responded to your prayer and guided the mother of Abu Hurayrah to Islam." |

| Dear Brothers and Sisters, Assalamu alaikum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuhu. Jazakallah Khair for your replies. This was a big step for my mom to take. She had to drive 2 hours to come and see me. Even before I converted she didn't want to make the drive, I drove to see her. So insha'Allah, eventhough our relationship was not perfect before, this could be something good. I want so much to mend the gap between her and I. I'm not going to force the relationship right now. I spoke with Cindy (my sister) last night and she said that my mom told her that she felt a *little* bit better talking to me, but that there was tension in the air. Maybe because we hadn't seen each other in 1 and 1/2 years? What do you think - would I be overdoing it if I sent her a small gift, or a card? In any case, I'll be here if and when she wants to contact me again. I feel like if *I* contact her, she will turn away from me again. (I know my mom :) ) btw - Cindy sends her salams to everyone! Wa'assalam, Serena |

| As salamu alaykum Sister Serena, Al hamdu lillah, just when we need it Allah (swt) blesses us with something special. Send your mom the card and then she'll really know how special and important her visit was to you, especially since she felt that there was tension in the air. Insha'Allah your relationship will continue to blossom. Al hamdu lillah I'm very happy for you; I know how important my mum is to me. As salamu alaykum Marcie |

| [slm] Subhanallah! I can't even imagine the feeling in you heart after seeing your mother take that first step of coming closer to you and Islam, and most of all, to Allah. May Allah guide you and your mother so that you may both rejoice in jannah together. Salaam |

| Asalaamu Aleikoum, Subhana' Allah sister, what wonderful news! I too think that sending the card would be a great idea, particularly in light of the distance/effort that your mum conquered to get to you. Insha' Allah, all will go well in the future. Salaam |
