As I've scoured the Islamosphere landscape, I've felt most comfortable on those sites and blogs where the author feels secure enough to discuss his/her background. This removal of one half of the anonymous relationship between the blog reader and its writer goes a long way in building a comfort level, IMO.
Reading an occasional article here or a quick post there does not require the reader to know anything about the writer. However, as the reader returns on a regular basis, there develops a curiosity to know about the writer's background. What has made him think this way? Why does she say what she says? What angle is the writer coming from?
I understand the need for anonymity as it allows the writer to free him/herself from any possible stereotypes and preconceived notions. There is strong argument to be made for such an equalizer in this day and age of uber-racism and insta-stereotypes.
Conversely, there is a lot to be said about the reader knowing the writer by a bit more than just a screen-name. I’m inclining towards the latter approach.
That being said, I felt it fitting to properly introduce myself:
Born into a Muslim family in good ‘ol US of A, my life has so far been a very interesting ride. Looking back, I realize that my past 25 years of adulthood have very neatly paralleled the famous hadith Jibreel.
The first stage of my Islamic development was in the presence of my dear father as well as Dr. Mohammad Adam El-Sheikh, long standing member of the ISNA Fiqh Council of North America. He was the Imam at our local Masjid in Baltimore and he basically introduced me to Islam and its fundamentals. This was my Islam stage.
I was a good little Muslim boy, making my prayers, reading my Quran, and all the other things that good little Muslim boys do. I didn’t question anything my father or Sheikh Adam taught me. My understanding of Islam was at the Sunday School level: Life is a big test culminating in the Day of Judgment where a scale will be placed weighing your good versus bad deeds – those with more good would end up in Heaven while those with more bad would suffer in Hellfire.
With that mindset, my ultimate goal in life was to simply do as many good deeds as possible while avoiding the major bad deeds. Very cut and dry. Too cut and dry.
My next stage began when I went away to college. I was blessed with some very understanding Pakistani parents who for some unknown reason actually trusted me away from home (or just wanted to get rid of me).
In upstate NY, I really matured in my Islamic development and was lucky to be in the company of some very special brothers, two of whom aided me greatly in my Iman stage. Imams Mokhtar Moghraoui and Djafer Sebkhaoui introduced to me a whole new understanding of Islam. At this stage of my life I began questioning and this process allowed me to soar to greater intellectual heights.
I recall one conversation with Imam Mokhtar where I confessed a nagging doubt that was running through my mind, like some dirty thought shrouded with guilt. ‘What if the Christians are right and we are wrong? What if Jimmy Swaggart is right and you are wrong? What if the Afterlife is not as we Muslims envision it?’
My question was not a defiant one, rather one doused with confusion and fear. Still I expected a strong tongue-lashing for the blasphemous nature of my question. Fortunately he was very understanding in his counsel and surprisingly encouraged me to question more. All too often, inquiring Muslim minds are stifled by fear of being ostracized for daring to question.
And I am convinced that it was this nurturing of the intellect that enabled me to convert to Islam. Yes you read that correctly. I converted to Islam in 1992.
Based on my experience, I firmly believe that EVERY Muslim must convert to Islam at one point in their lives. We must revalidate our primordial contract with our Lord when He asked all of mankind, ‘Am I not your Lord?’ and we all answered ‘Indeed’.
For my entire life, I had been raised as a Muslim under the caring shade of my father. I was a Muslim solely because *he* made me so. It was never a conscious decision on my part. I was never given the choice (and that itself was a great protection from Allah) until I was ready. It was only when I went away and stepped out from my father’s shadow that I was finally given choices.
And it was after two years in college that I finally made the decision to consciously become a Muslim. Not by name or by culture or by law or by force or by fear. I had entered into a realm of intellectual certainty wherein I *believed* that Islam was the truth. I remember the exact moment that this epiphany hit me and it was then that I took my shahadah.
When I returned to Baltimore, years passed as I labored with my Islam and Iman, volunteering at the local Masjid, attending study circles with the brothers, working with the youth and so on. It was during these years that Allah was preparing me for the next phase in my spiritual growth.
This most beautiful of preparations took place in the form of my marriage.
Marriage completed me, made me whole, filled my voids, and forced me to grow. Marriage was the conduit to the next stage, the stage of Ihsan. Without the bridge of marriage, I would have been trapped toiling on the coast of Islam and Iman, only dreaming of the beauties that lie on the faraway island of Ihsan.
Sheikh Muhsin Najjar, associated with the Haba’ib from Tarim, Yemen, introduced me to the spirit of Ihsan. He taught me that Islam is beyond the physical acts of worship and the associated calculus of good deeds versus bad deeds.
He taught me that Iman is beyond the cerebral certitude that too often puts a glass ceiling on our spiritual growth. He taught me that my journey to Jannah is not only in following the Prophet (saw), but loving the Prophet (saw). He taught me that dhikr (rememberance) of Allah (swt) is more important to my soul than breathing is to my body. Check that, he didn’t just teach me, he *showed* me.
All these special individuals in my life, I believe, had the proper understanding of Islam, Iman, and Ihsan. It was I who was not prepared for the complete message they were passing along. I had to proceed phase by phase until I was physically, intellectually, emotionally, and spiritually prepared for the next phase. And it just so happened that a different individual was there to pull me up to the next level.
I am in deep gratitude to all these extraordinary persons who helped mold and shape me into my current form. But this pile of clay and mud, known to all of you as Naeem Aslam, is far from complete.
Having climbed up the ladder and taken a quick whiff of the sweet air found only at special altitudes of spiritual bliss, I find myself regularly falling back down to this world. But the paradoxical beauty of this fall is that each time I dust off my worldly desires and shoo away my inner demons, I am able to climb back up on the ladder of Divine Love and reach an even higher rung, bringing me breathtakingly closer to my final destiny, Allah.
Welcome to my world! Hope you enjoy your stay.

Jazak-allah for sharing this, I hope you dont mind but ill be forwarding this latest blog of yours to everyone I know, I thought it was beautiful in it's message and simplicity.
Wow Na'eem! MashaAllah
Arif and LL, thanks for your kind words...
WA-
BismillaharRahmanirRahim
as-salaamu 'alaikum, Naeem this was a very nice blog post. Thank you for giving us a little glimpse of who you are. You know its one thing to chat with people on the internet, leaving comments, arguments and agreements. But its something else to meet them sit with them perhaps have some coffee with them. With that said, I would like one day to meet sit and have a cup of coffee with you inshaAllah.
AA- Saifuddin,
Next time I'm in the states, a coffee date it is, Insha'Allah!
But which will it be, Turkish or Arabic coffee? Personally, I prefer Pakistani Chai. :-)
Wow Naeem,
Thanks for sharing your story...I enjoyed it more than reading a good book. Your journey to Islam reminds me of how I eventually converted to Islam from Christianity (i.e. asking that famous questions...what if the other guy is right and I am wrong). Keep the blogs coming.
WA,
Greg
AA- Greg,
Nice to see that you're still alive. ;-)
Hope you and the family is doing well. Thanks for your kind comments.
Who introduced you to the amazing Shaykh Mohsen Al'Najjar?
:-)
AA- Moutasem,
"Who introduced you to the amazing Shaykh Mohsen Al'Najjar?"
That's a very deep question and a great reminder that we need to be thankful for ALL the blessings of Allah (swt) - even the blessings we often taken for granted such as the people He (swt) introduces into our lives.
Oh wait, were you referring to *which person* introduced me to Sh. Muhsin? Oh, ok...that would be you.
:-)
It's nice to meet you brother. I think you're right about the issue of sharing a bit about ourselves. Jazaka Allahu khairan. That was a nice introduction.
was-Salamu 'Alaykum
AA- Umm Layth,
Welcome! Thank you for all your nice remarks...hope to continue reading your insightful comments!
A-A Na'eem,
My first intro to you consisted of an article in a newspaper-"the hell w/ god".I haven't been to your spot for a while. Well, when I came back and saw how much it changed and the sharing of your personal journey to Islam...what can I say? So simple yet elegantly put. May Allah continue to bring you closer to Him!
AA- Hoos Gurl,
Thanks so much for coming back and even more thanks for the nice comments!
Ameen to you dua'a. May Allah bring us ALL closer to Him!
Its so nice to read this blog post. You are lucky to have great spiritual leaders answer your questions. I am missing this in my life, which is why my state of general confusion persists. Anyway, your journey gives me inspiration.
Salam,
Muse
AA- Muse,
Indeed, extremely lucky and extremely blessed. I pray that you find what you are looking for.
asalam alaykum , wonderful , i'm amal , who also has a wordpress.com found your blog through a comment left on ach , I feel I can relate to your story , I am 22 and feel like I am growing, converted to mainstream islam , I felt a buzz within me that finally I found it , that peace , then fell asleep until last year 21 I felt I was hit hard on the head with a sledge hammer , something within me awoke , theirs still more to islam then meets the eye, I need to feed my soul with food it feels starved.
I do not understand people how they live without dhikr in their life . I found it intresting when you say that you thank allah for bringing people in your life that have moldid you , this is how I feel about my jorney in this life,Their have been many people that have come into my life , walked in and walked out , some have been negative some have been positive , even the negative in my opinion are positive,also through the pain I have felt in my life, it changed me into somehing I did not imagine could exist within me , I still have a lot of work to do on my self but alhamdullah at least I am awake , still searching for pure answers from islam , have some niggling questions on womans rights, ie, if allah gives me so many rights why is it when the woman gets married , her husband has the right to take them all if so he wished ? and the best answer a sheikh can give is 'you still have to obey him' I dont understand it .I find it inresting you said marriage made you feel whole , sadly not for me , it was the sledge that awoke me, marriage on the other hand made me feel suffocated perhaps I am a woman ? allahs knows inshallah I will find the answer like you have ameen .Everything is a lesson , everything their is, a wisdom is their to learn from and take , sadly some see it some don't . As the saying goes their is allah's signs everywhere you just need to look better.
:) thank you for sharing your story , as it is hard finding deep spiritual people . Who actualy talk on a deeper level.
Masha Allah brother wallah your story is elegant and powerful and moving. I felt like I was reading my own story although I would In my case use the words "counsciously embraced islam" rather than "converted to Islam". The other day a friend of mine came to me looking very worried. He told me that his new wife was questioning some basic things about the Deen. I told him that he should encourage her to question more because I know from expeience that the more you question and try to find the answers the more you know and your faith is strengthend. I wish you said more about how marriage affected your deen and about your stay in Saudia. I pray that Allah give you emmense fuyudat and futuhat on your suluk. It is a great blessing to be associated with the Habaib of hadramawt. they are known to be people taqwa, mahaba, Ilm and Ihsan
PS. this is the first time that I read your blog. I came to know of it on Izzi Mo's blog. I will be a regular from now on insha Allah. last but not least congratulations on the birth or your daughter on this blessed month allahuma baarik lahaa walakum. Ramadan karim wassalamu alaiykum warahmatu llahi barakaatuhu
AA Amal,
“..feel like I am growing”
That is so beautiful...simple, but very powerful. Keep growing sis. Keep growing.
“Their have been many people that have come into my life , walked in and walked out , some have been negative some have been positive, even the negative in my opinion are positive, also through the pain I have felt in my life, it changed me into somehing I did not imagine could exist within me”
Very deep. You have indeed been very blessed to realize that even the negative people are positive, for they have left a mark on your life that you have used to grow and blossom. And you have used that negativity and pain to empower yourself and make a change...and grow. Ya Allah!
“thank you for sharing your story , as it is hard finding deep spiritual people . Who actualy talk on a deeper level.”
Thank you for the compliments... means a lot coming from you, who left one of the most profound comments on my blog.
AA- Saddaq,
Welcome to the blog!
“although I would In my case use the words "counsciously embraced islam" rather than "converted to Islam"”
Yes, that is truly a better way of expressing my transition as well. I will steal your phrase and use that from now on, Insha’Allah. :-)
"I wish you said more about how marriage affected your deen and about your stay in Saudia."
Others have asked as well on how I felt my marriage lead me to the path of Ihsan...I will work on putting a post on this, IA-
About my stay in Saudi, I have a few posts on Life in Saudi...my current RinR series may be of interest to you. Also this post on 'why are we here?' is about our stay in KSA.
And thank you for your dua’as. I really appreciate them.
Assalamu'Alaykum,
Brother Naeem,
Masha'Allah.
It's always encouraging to hear of Muslim men so steadfast in their love for Allah!
I may get all sappy and say that part how you described marriage was really beautiful. May Allah reward you for all your good deeds!
AA- Hijabhaven,
Indeed you are too kind with your words. I only wish my love for Allah were so steadfast.
Ameen to you dua'a. May Allah accept all our deeds.
God bless you.
I'm from www.davron.ru
I'd like to share a bit about the marriage bit leading you to getting closer to Allah or conversely reacking(bad spelling i know) havoc in your deen and life.
The first few years of when I got married-it was always the latter state. Negative emotions, negative feelings, thoughts of leaving, thoughts of this, thoughts of that.
I felt like he was always questioning my Islam, my devotion, which granted was not up to par. At one point, I decided I can't live with my him anymore, not like this.
Now, there has come a time, where my husband and I have completely changed around our relationship. There is now trust, and patience and sweetness and kindness and gentleness and mercy and support and acceptance and love and humor and and and..
and I now feel at peace with my life: i have good clothes on my back, a comfortable home that meets my needs, good food on my table, and a husband who is the comfort of my eyes. All my earthly needs are met thanks to the Most High. So I feel like I'm not being distracted from just reaching out to Allah. I hope I'm able to make good use of this.
Now, at this time, I feel like the challenge is to not attach myself to these things and to those beloved to me, but to love them and still hold Allah MOST dear and most beloved in my heart and know that He is the one I truly live for at the end of the day. To know that if tomorrow all this disappeared, that I will still go on and say 'I have a purpose in life'. This is not easy.
I feel like there is an inner peace now so I can reach out to Him without worrying about this or that.
However, at the same time, I think to myself that prosperity is a test, to see how thankful you will be.
On another note...
I got married to my husband who had a comfortable upbringing as did I. And when we got married, we just had very little money for a few years, which was very difficult for me. very difficult. This affected our marriage alot. I felt like he couldn't provide for me the basics(don't worry i wasn't dying on the street, having to work, or live in a dirty or unsafe place..it was just circumstances that were below average than what he and I would consider to be sufficient.. ) I needed so why not leave and work on my own(ofcourse the leaving bit wasn't just due to the money issue). From my end, in hindsight, more patience was due.
Now that I have the things I need to be comfortable, I feel like I am more thankful for these things NOW than I was when my parents provided me w/ this and much more.
So then I think maybe I needed that to remind me that everything can be taken away from me. Nothing is mine for granted. I don't somehow deserve it as my birth right. It is a gift and a blessing from Allah and that realy nothing, even my body is all from Allah.
Even though I'm posting this as someone anonymous, this is quite alot for me to write. A bit too personal for me usually. But I thought maybe someone would benefit from it .. so i am daring to share it.
What scares me? That Allah will test me with hard times with money again .. That does scare me. Any advice?
AA- Anon,
Very interesting journey that you've gone through.
"What scares me? That Allah will test me with hard times with money again .. That does scare me. Any advice?"
I think you answered your own fears when you said:
"I feel like the challenge is to not attach myself to these things and to those beloved to me, but to love them and still hold Allah MOST dear and most beloved in my heart and know that He is the one I truly live for at the end of the day."
I would humbly suggest that you work on your relationship with Allah (swt) and everything else will fall into place.
Of course, that's easier said than done. I struggle with that every single day. :-)
assalamu alaykum ahkee,
you grew up in bmore, thats soo cool, if you dont mind me askin what masjid? ISB? I used to go to masjid ul haqq in downtown when i was there...
AA- CoolGuy (why such a humble name? lol)
Welcome to the blog bro! Yeah I lived right next to ISB for many years. But I would try to get down to Masjids Al-Haqq and Saffat every so often (we had Muslim Kids Club meetings held at Al-Haqq every now and then).
What years were you there?
Asalaamu alikum wa rahamatullah,
Subhan'allah-- this was truly enlightening. I like the way you explain each step and describe everything candidly.
Really, jazak'allah khair for this- for one reason or another often bloggers chose to remain anonymous. Perhaps one reason might be that some consider blogging a contribution to dawah or a charity and wish not to show off. But there certainly is a case to give some info about oneself. Food for thought.
Just on a side not I wanted to ask if you have had any success in visiting your neighbour(s) at all? Please do try insha'allah without your participation building our community will not be possible.
Jazak'allah khair
Dont be sad
As salam alaikum brother
I've never read such n 'about me' before :)
It is beautifully potrayed and the last paragraph was great!
AA-
Sorry for the late replies...
@Don't be Sad, thank you for the link to my neighbors. I will definitely be visiting them, IA-
@Tasneem, you are MOST welcome to the blog!
i really liked ur story. im a paki-muslim growing-up in london,england. i feel that my story is very similar to urs BUT takes a big turn : where u "converted" to islam in early adulthood, i decided not to.-didnt belive it really had enough substance,-struggled with belief in a higher power,etc,etc. still, nice story. idealistic+stuff., warmed my cockles !
osman
AA- Osman,
Welcome to the blog!
Thanks for the kind words and I'm glad the post was able to 'warm your cockles' - whatever that means...LOL!
Jazak Allah for making the effort and sharing your views!I am following your blog from Toronto...We will Insha Allah be moving to Riyadh from Toronto with 3 young kids. The reason why I am moving matches exactly with yours! The crying issue we have is the school for three kids where segregartion is maintained, medium is English, have a Hifz program and teaches traditional Islam of love, peace and caring for the whole Humanity! Can you guide me? May Allh SWT bless you and your family in both the worlds!
AA- Anon,
"Can you guide me? May Allh SWT bless you and your family in both the worlds!"
What exactly are you looking for? If you wish, you can email me directly.
Ameen to your duaa.
As salam 'alaeykum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuh.

Your brother
Motamid,
Wa-Alaikum as-Salaam wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakatuhu and welcome to the blog!
AA- Wahabi Misanthrope,
Thank you for the aya, but why??
Thank you kindly for sharing aspects of your life with us.May Allah Azzawajal keep your faith strong.
Salam Br. Naeem,
I love your post. We're in Jeddah too and I attend the Hadramaut Ladies' Branch in Jeddah. I'm sure my hubby already knows you, but please contact us and help us arranged something in English inshaAllah. nour.radiant@gmail.com
For Sr. Anon, mashaAllah I had similar financial difficulties as yours. Doesn't it remind us of Surah Inshirah "With difficulty comes ease" ...difficulties become easier to deal with after we endure it with patience for some time, and after that phase, we come out a stronger person. As for your fear of financial trouble, the sahabah depended on Allah's rizq/provision by constantly reading Surah Al-Waqiah in the Qur'an.
May Allah bless our strivings and accept our efforts. Amin.

I'm in Riyadh, which is a world away. :-)
Pretty impressive that there's a Hadramaut Ladies Branch in Jeddah...nothing of the sort in Riyadh. Too bad...
Assalamualaikum,
Interesting turn of events. To a certain extent, it's like reading my own narratives, particularly on the 'convert' matter. Insha'Allah, I'll be popping over every now and then to catch another glimpse of your world. :)
W'salam,
Hajar
Haha Wow! I think I read this before and just skimmed it. Now that I read every word for word, just wow.
First of all, "I was a good little Muslim boy," haha. I think I can relate :D.
Hmm. "This most beautiful of preparations took place in the form of my marriage."
I dont think I've mentioned much about this in my blog, I've been wanting to just haven't had time to discuss it much.
Having grown up watching Indian movies, seeing friends engage in relationships, "going out", I cant help but think of Marriage as an awesome thing. To me its like, once you get married that when your real life begins. Exactly like you said, you had lived life under the shade of your father. I have lived all my life under the shade of my mother. Simple things like not being able to go to the messed-up park a block from my house; not being able to go outside with American friends *not much at least*.
Of course, my experiences in school somewhat negated all the protection from my parents, public school is an inevitable evil sometimes. Yet along with that, in my high rise building, we have quite a nice Indo-Pak, Muslim population and thus I know many people who live similar lives who are older. From their wisdom and all that I have learned I am able to make right choices *most of the time*
But back to the topic of Marriage, I think it is a very important part of life esp. for Muslims in America.
Were you serious about "thats EXACTLY how I met my wife." ? Lol.
Anyways. I want to write an about me page too now. :D
-The Muslim Kid-
AA- MK,
"Were you serious about "thats EXACTLY how I met my wife." ? Lol.
I was kidding bro. Just kidding. It seems my dry sense of humor is sometimes lost over the internet. :-)
And you should write an about me...Its always nice to get some insight into the mind of the blogger...
I agree with you the movie Traitor is a propaganda peace to bread fear in Americans.
Check out my online book.
SOME UNKNOWN HISTORY OF THE U.S. http://groups.yahoo.com/group/SomeUnknownUSHistory/
I am an atheist.
and I think all humans need a philosophy to understand if they are happy.
HAPPINESS IS GETTING WHAT YOU NEED.
EVERYONE NEEDS: Liberty, peace, health, sex, mind exercise, knowledge,
personal associations, art and creativity, character and a sense of justice, and to be assertive (to be able to say "no" without feeling
guilty. (this last phrase is my addition to Mortimer Adler's definition of
happiness).

Joining the ROE caucuses
We have started a Running on Empty (ROE) caucus of Washington State Democrats . We have also started a national and Earth/UN ROE caucus. The goal of this caucus is to bring more emphasis by our Party to the coming end of cheap oil and natural gas which will result in an extreme disaster.
To become a member of our caucus we require some more information from you. If you agree or basically agree with the following statements and you are a Democrat, then we will accept you into our caucus.
Note we don't get into HOW the population should be reduced. I think that is a question for civil society.
1. There are no sustainable energy sources that will rescue us at our current population levels.
2. Population reduction must be a part of any plan to rationally deal with peak oil (the end of cheap oil, natural gas, and coal), global climate change, biological/species decline, and natural resource depletion.
3. Global climate change will only be mitigated with extremely stringent emissions policies that reduce consumption rates and this must be done before fossil fuels are depleted.
4. Absent immediate attention to peak oil, our government and/or political system have no chance whatsoever to react soon enough to help us.

Was just glancing through your about me and when i started reading i just couldn't stop. You have written so refreshingly candidly and it's so inspiring to know that there are people who do achieve that level where Islam does quench our intellectual and spiritual thirst completely.
I love the way you have said that you asked all the questions we do so fear to ask in fear of being reproached or judged.. but that is only when we shall achieve that level of imaan... where we are not muslims bc we are born as such and believe in God but because we really have imaan ..As I am also in that stage of life whre I have to make the marriage decision it was motivating to know how it really has helped u gain spirituality.. Would love to know more bout how you chose your marriage partner or anything else on it ...
All in all it is totally amazing that we have thinking spiritual muslims and spokesman, as that is the only way we can all debate and understand Islam with meaning and imaan and reach the beautiful stages of spirituality which you speak of. The whole concept of such spirituality is so beautiful that it motivates one for that quest.. thank u for giving us a living example of that in these troubled and confusing times...
Sister R
Assalamu aleikum,
Your blog is great-as usual. And I'm late with my comments-as usual. One thing tho about bloggers being anonymous.I haven't said a lot about myself on my blog, mainly because I wouldn't want people to think I'm a representative of .. anything really.muslim women are already labelld oppressed ( i dunno where they got that from tho) , unintelligent (true in my case) and a lot of other things. I wouldn't want us to be labelled as nutters too based on what I post. Jazakallah for ur blog. keep up the good.. blog inshaAllah. wswrwb.
Nice Blog!
Jazakallaah for sharing.
I too felt like i went the same path as you are, 'converting' to the religion i was born into.
Perhaps the correct term would be 'embracing' Islam & all it's values
hmm... i think i am going to starting reading your ramblings... i mean your blog!
Hi Naeem
I've referred to your blog here: http://keep-asking-questions.blogspot.co.uk/2012/05/question-for-muslims-why-are-you-muslim.html
It would be great to hear your thoughts.
Thanks.
