openAm I a new Muslim? Part 1
Assalamu Alaikum, My name is Lara.
There is a real person behind this cute avatar. Lara is a Russian name and a short form of Larissa. I am a German and I am living for the last 2 years in the UK.
10 years a go I took my shahadah and became a Muslim. Am I still considered as a new Muslim? :)
Since many people asked me about my journey to Islam I try to tell here a short version of my "story".
I grew up in a very open-minded household. Nobody cares much and I could do what I wanted. So I tried very early a lot in my young life.
Life got quick very repetitive.
I asked myself after a while: Should I go out to another party...AGAIN...I knew what going to happen anyway.
Am I still going to every party even when I am 40 years?
I decided to study Philosophy at University as I thought it would help me to understand the world better.
As a very convinced Atheist at that time I never considered any Religions or beliefs.
To be continued... :-)
