I committed apostasy, then reverted....I feel very guilty...

[Sinan]

Over the weekend, I converted to Judaism due to lack of imaan......but reverted today.....I feel very ashamed, and my imaan is still weak....how do I restore my imaan, and never do this again?

[Muslimthought97]

You feel ashamed so thats the sign of regret which is good as that is a condition for forgivness, just be devout in your zhikr and never deviate again brother  if you have weak iman and doubts ask here! we will surely help you!

[Azim Hussain]

howcome just in a week?

[Muhammed Ali]

Judaism?

Well at least it's better than the Trinity or atheism. 

But still, it is a rare choice.

That's like having the latest version of Windows on your computer and then deciding to "convert" to Windows 95 randomly one weekend. Weakness of faith in the better processing power and improved performance?

I don't get it.

Since you have repented of this, Allah (swt) in His mercy will forgive you. As for restoring your imaan make lot's of du'a, make sure you are praying all of your prayers even if you don't feel like it, read Qur'an with tafsir to understand what you reading, read Islamic books and watch lectures especially on the lives of Ahlulbayt (as). Remembering their struggles and the way they held onto their faith is truly inspiring and inshallah will motivate you.

So you reverted again ! Good

Its notoriously difficult to convert to Judaism; how did you manage it in a weekend? maybe you didnt do what you think you did. Try not to read too much into moments of confusion, just trust that Allah knows your heart and is ir-rahman ir-raheem.

Ummm, yeah, I second Ruq, it usually takes years. At least it did for my friends who wanted to marry a Jew. It's quite a process. 

What Jews are these?

Dear brother/sister, why do you feel guilty? Judaism is part of Islam, all the religions are continuation of each other, not separate. First of all if you truly "converted" to the  true message of Moses a.s then that will lead you back to Islam. When Almighty God says in the Holy Quran, "now I have completed your religion" doesnt mean by sending the last Prophet Mohammad (s.a.w) alone, Almighty God means from  the first Prophet Adam a.s to the last Prophet Mohammad (s.a.w), your religion is complete.  If you still feel guilty and want to feel better, the door of repentance is open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, God is the best listener and most Merciful. May Almighty Allah guide you, us, everybody in the path of truth, on the path of those whom God had favored, not the path of those whom went astray, Ameen Ya Rabbil Aalameen.

Wasalam

@Sinan this brother is right, judaism and christianity are a part of islam, in fact dont worry i will be sharing some motivational islamic brochures i received and share them, on here the internet.

[LeftCoastMom]

Still curious about which Jewish  halakhic law allows a person to convert in a weekend. You can't even join my Church in a weekend. You have to study first.

Unless the OP's post is misunderstood.

[Sinan]

my post IS misunderstood...i STARTED converting in a weekend

[LeftCoastMom]

Don't think you'd technically be considered a convert yet by any Jews I know of. Guess you just have to deal with your own conscience about starting to leave your original faith. Thanks for the clarification,

[Chaotic Muslem]

That's super fast converting process , in and out lol

 

The best thing to do now is to address your concerns. What are the issues that upon hearing them you say : I am no muslim.

What are the things upon hearing them you say : vERILY no god but God and Islam is very correct in this matter?

[Patient Warrior]

This should put your worries to rest,, Say: O My servants who have transgressed against their own souls, despair not of the mercy of Allah. Indeed, Allah forgives all sins. Truly, he is most forgiving, most merciful (Surah az-Zumar [39:53])

Turn to your lord, and constantly question everything and seek the truth. Especially if you were fed all the knowledge you know about Islam I recommend reading Nahjul Balagha or watching the channel Ahlul-bayt tv. Good luck

In our religion it's not like the Jews where you have to be accepted into their exclusive club. If you accept Islam, then you're a moozlem no matter what anyone says.

 

This brother probably accepted Judaism in theory and assumed that this makes him a Jew. He did not know he had to file paperwork and get a membership card, etc.

[Bakir]

Not sure if it is much of a matter of faith. I have forced doubt upon me (in order not to fall into future mistakes or allowing faith crisis to take over me) to the point I barely have faith or enjoy its benefits. And not being even a full convert, knowledge allows me to see where true dignity, inclusiveness and social commitment lies. It is true that religion is primarily a matter of faith. But knowledge is its source. If you are looking to avoid these crisis: study. Commit seriously to studies. Every week at the very least you should dedicate time to study.

Books change our condition in ways nobody would expect.

As for forgiveness... it is The Most Merciful we are talking about.

Thanks... I knew that. Some Christian Churches have instant conversions, too. That's okay. But Catholics will usually only receive an adult that way on danger of death if  they desire it, otherwise you have to go through the rather lengthy conversion process. However, if you die before completing it, you will be buried as a Catholic because it's assumed your heart is in the right place.

Do Judaism even accept converts?

You can not convert to Judaism, you have to be born into Judaism, this is according to Jews.

[LeftCoastMom]

Yes, you can convert to Judaism. The process depends on the branch of Judaism you enter. You can look it up. I've had several friends do it prior to marriage. Just not in a weekend.
