Hello My name is Vera Ferrell I am from Newnan,GA..My new name is Raja.....I just did my shahada the 21 of July of the year 2000...Many asked why Islam? Why a muslim...And I am truthful as I can be.....It popped in my head ....I was sitting there one night thinking,I need something in my life....It was Allah(GOD)....So Islam came in my mind ....I got on the computer and researched everything on Islam and being muslim....My heart sang a sweet song to me...I knew this was the path to take..So I tried my best to find a Masjid in my area...There were 3 in my area..I called and to avail none of them existed anymore...My soul sank...I then refused to give up and called 1 more that I had found...(In my area ,it is a christian society)...I finally found a Masjid ....I was so happy ....I called them and a wonderful man and his wife helped me with directions and upon finding them to be truely wonderful..Helping me and the teachings.. I know I am new in this and Praise be to Allah that he is a patient God..I will grow to be everything that was predestined for me...Inshallah........I wear the veil and cover my body when in public ...A woman has little or no respect in these times....My husband should be the only man to gaze upon my body for it is written....Praise be to Allah...
