Assalamu Alaikum,
Imam Abu Samayyah shares his experience as a new Muslim and how the best thing he could have ever done was to put himself in and connect his heart to the masjid.
Verses referenced in the Qur'an:
[6: 75-9]
We also showed Abraham the wonders of the heavens and the earth, so he would be sure in faith.
When the night grew dark upon him, he saw a star and said, “This is my Lord!” But when it set, he said, “I do not love things that set.”
Then when he saw the moon rising, he said, “This one is my Lord!” But when it disappeared, he said, “If my Lord does not guide me, I will certainly be one of the misguided people.”
Then when he saw the sun shining, he said, “This must be my Lord—it is the greatest!” But again when it set, he declared, “O my people! I totally reject whatever you associate ˹with Allah in worship˺.
I have turned my face towards the One Who has originated the heavens and the earth—being upright—and I am not one of the polytheists.”
-Dr. Mustafa Khattab, The Clear Qur'an Translation
