I do not know how American ladies marry Muslim men and convert years later. some may never because my mother is still Christian and my father is a Muslim from Pakistan. Inshallah she will convert and I hope all the other ladies will also. Please pray for them.

Why God Almighty Allah gives Islam or the Guidance of His Religion is that He Himself has taught us to pray for it in the first chapter of Holy Qur'an ("Show us the right path"). Then if any person desires or begs God the Right Path, He will remove him or her from the path they have been leading so far and puts them into the right path which will end only in the Heaven, in the Company of Angels, Prophets, Noble people who are closer to God.
Why Islam..?
Allah the Creator has given the duty to each and every thing He created and they are doing it perfectly well as He desires them to be. Like a flower (say rose) blooms in the morning. Stars and Sun give light. He gave us the duty to recognise Islam & foll

During my college days, I was an atheist, believing in Biological Birth & Biological Death (End of Story).
I had heard from my household that The Almighty had power over all things. Furthermore, God had power over all things and could do all that "HE" pleased to do . So, myself, having a Just & Fair disposition, I put the Onus of Directing me to the "Right Path" to the Almighty God (if he was really there).This was year 1969. Subsequently, through time, I stated having experiences which could not be explained materially or in worldly terms.
The Almighty Allah then bestowed upon me his Special Spritual Gift in the year 1976.
Since that time, I have been offering (Namaz)Salat 5 times a day till this date, and performed Hajj in 1987.
Through my experience, I have learnt that it is the duty of every individual human being to understand himself / herself and take guidance from the only Heavenly Book (Quran) which is still in its original form.
Allah has constant contact with every human being. A Non-believer only deprives and hurts himself/herself by not Tuning in To Receive and Accept the Message of Allah which is always present there.
It is tragic to note that scientist around the world have set up sophisticated equipment to receive any slight semblances of message from beyond the solar system or the stars. Whereas, A Complete Code of Life has been conveyed by his Prophet Mohammed(PBOH). This is the most "Confirmed Message From Beyond", which the majority of the people around the world should take time, to honestly, "Research and Verify the Truth it Speaks and Conveys".
All praise is due to Allah Ta ala and peace be upon Prophet Muhammad and his family and companions. This is indeed a great blessing for the Mayor and her entire family.I am certain Insha allah that this is one of the most significant moments in herlife and the life of her husband. she now has a clean record. May Allah azza wa jal help her to keep her records of deeds in good condition.Allah has done her a great favor. May Allahu ta'ala help us all with the the favor of obedience to him Ameen.
As salamu alaikum.
All praise is due to Allah and peace be upon prophet Muhammad,his family and his copanions. This is indeed a great blessing for the mayor and her entire family.May Allah help her iman to grow daily.Islam is the light
Congratulations to the woman who is now shedding the fat of disbelief. We must thank Allah and Allah alone for this.
Having said this, we must not forget the conversion to Islam of a former mayor is no more important than that of a peasant in Oregon. The surah 'Abasa watawallah' attest to my argument.
We must be very careful.
May Allah bless her progeny and that of every Muslim. Amin.

I have read with great admiration the conversion of Sister Eileen Aziz.Its another victory to Islam and Muslim worldwide. This shows that Islam can be propagated peacefully. May Allah (SW) give her strength and shine for her a way to Jannat Inshaallah.
