I have invited my sister to stay one more week with me. Here is how that came about....

She was realeased from the hospital last Sunday. (depression and suicide attempt) That afternoon she told me she would still do it, just not in my house. I shut down. I said to myself, 'i cannot fix her. i have ramadan to get thru, i have immig issues to deal with,,,me , me , me '

The start of the week was horrible for both of us. I didn't know what to say to her. By Wednesday, Thursday, she had seen me pray, heard LOTS of quran coming thru the computer and it was starting to affect her and I didnt know it yet. She said quran calms her.

By Thursday night, I showed her videos about Islam on youtube. WEll....she cant get enough. She is like a sponge, absorbing everything. Last night she took a quiz on Beliefnet.com and when she clicked on submit,,,it said she was 98% Islam. (alhamdulillah!) Without knowing a word of arabic, it was getting thru.

This morning when I left for work, I gave her a CD of quran to take back to her son's house. I drove to work in turmoil, how could I get her soooooooooo close to Islam, then put her out. I couldn't. I called my nephew, asked if he could wait til next Saturday to come for her.

I called her and asked, 'would you like to stay another week' ? ......stay tuned to see how this week goes.

Jackie - girl, you've been on my mind big time. I have been praying for you and your sister - I was like, "God, please don't let anything bad happen in Jackie's home. Please bring peace to a troubled mind. Make Jackie's home a sanctuary." I'm not saying that God heard my prayers...but he must have heard lots of them. I pray that your sister finds a calm in her storm and that you know peace in your home. May God bless you abundantly.

I was so happy to read this Jackie. I hope that your sister continues to find comfort in studying Islam and that it helps her. May Allah ease your burden. It is not easy what you are going through. I have a brother that has tried killing himself numerous times and all kinds of trouble he has gotten into. It can really stress you out.

Thanks everybody for your support! We have been to two different Masjids this weekend. The first night was a little uncomfortable but since then I have made a small circle of friends about 3 women and their husbands are getting acquainted with my husband. They were at both Masjids and we sat and had Iftar together. We will go again tonight as well. It is every Friday, Saturday and Sunday. I prayed last night for the first time in the mosque and heard a man say his Shahada. It was a very pleasant experience.

I wish that Nawal and Jackie, you were both able to come with me too!! Jackie, it is wonderful that Allah again is using you to help direct a sister in need. I pray that she will find the right path for her.

Thanks again ladies and have a blessed Sunday!!

Ooo, Jackie, I'm jealous. No one in my family is remotely interested in the deen

Only the first 2 parts have been released thus far. He does use a lot of islamic terminology in arabic without translating, so if you're wondering about anything, write it down and inshaAllah I can translate it.

Jackie, i think thats wonderful that your sister is grasping on to it that well. I only wish i could. I took the same test and mine came out 68% Islam. i am having a difficult time grasping any of this. And have been waiting for weeks for someone from the Islamic Center to call me and talk. I feel so, I don't know, its hard to explain. It seems like people say they will help but when you ask its not there. That is why i gave up on religion so long ago. I want some peace in my life. I want to be happy. I feel like i;m getting no where.
