I am a Muslim, I speak of this with pride. And confess that sometimes I stumble, and need Allah to be my guide.When I say. . .I am a Muslim, I know this makes me strong. And in those times when I am weak, I pray to Allah for strength to carry on.When I say. . . I am a Muslim, I'm not boasting of success. I'm acknowledging that Allah has rescued me, and I cannot ever repay the debt.When I say. . .I am a Muslim, I'm not claiming to be perfect. My flaws are indeed visible, but Allah forgives because his followers are worth it.When I say. . .I am a Muslim, it does not mean I will never feel pain. I still have my share of heartaches, which is why I invoke Allah's name.When I say. . .I am a Muslim, I do not wish to judge.
