I am empowered and free

I am empowered and free

I am Lana Tuana Kizilarslan I reverted to Islam. About a year and a half ago, after extensive research into Islam as a Christian evangelist, Islam is a perfect religion with a Perfect God.

In the beginning I did not wear hijab, because being from southern California I saw (and knew) no one that wore one.

dAs Allah began to convict me for being disobedient, I got up the courage to wear one and was quickly ridiculed by strangers for my appearance. However, I drew strength from Allah and have been wearing hijab consistently since Ramadan of 2013. Alhamdulillah I will never go back, I am empowered and free. May Allah bless all my American sisters for their courage and perseverance.
