Alhamdulillah, another Eid. Time’s flying. One second, you’re grinding, the next, you’re here—dressed up, eating good, and taking it all in. But Eid isn’t just about the food or new clothes. It’s a checkpoint. A reminder. A reminder that life keeps moving, that every struggle eventually turns into a lesson, and that at the end of the day, it’s all about deen, family, and growth. This past year has been a lot—work, school, trying to stay disciplined, and figuring out my next moves. Some wins, some losses. But Alhamdulillah for all of it Today’s about taking a step back, being grateful, and just enjoying the moment. May Allah accept our efforts, guide us, and bless us with even more barakah in everything we do.

My dear brothers and sisters, This is something I rarely talk about. Usually, I just give a short explanation of how I came to Islam, but today, I wanna share the full story. The deep, in-depth journey of how Allah guided me to the truth. Why would a 13-year-old Belgian kid, raised in a rich household, surrounded by comfort and luxury, choose Islam? Why would someone who had everything the dunya could offer still feel… empty? I won’t share everything, some things are just too personal, and who knows, maybe there are people reading this with bad intentions. But I pray that what I do share will touch at least one heart. How It All Started We gotta go back 5-6 years, when I was just 10. A normal Belgian boy. Eating fries, getting new gifts, living a life with no real purpose. Religion? It wasn’t a thing in my house. Yeah, I did my "First Holy Communion," but it was just a tradition, nothing more. Then Allah placed someone in my life. A Muslim kid, Youssef. An Egyptian brother. He’s still my best friend to this day. I started going to his house often, and I noticed something… different. His family was unlike any other family I had ever seen. They would pray together. His dad, his mom, him. There was this… peace in their home. A kind of warmth. Like some kinda blessing was hanging over their house. I had never felt anything like it before That was my first introduction to Islam. And Alhamdulillah, Allah (swt) already put inside me a curiosity for knowledge. And let’s be real, it’s in all of us. Just think back to when we were kids, always asking, "Why is the sky blue?" "Why is the grass green?" SubhanAllah, it’s in our fitrah !! we are born wanting to learn, wanting to seek the truth. But back then, I didn’t really think I could believe in God. I needed proof. I needed a reason. Why should I believe? Years passed. I got into secundary school (idk what y’all call it, but we go there at 12-13 and stay for 6 years). There were Muslims there too, but honestly, they didn’t play a big role in my journey—at least not yet.

Edit: Everyone please make a short introduction post so we can all get to know eachother Welcome to the community! This space is designed to bring together a pool of Muslim entrepreneurs, agencies, and video editors who are passionate about producing high-quality, halal content. In a world where so much of the editing industry is filled with haram elements like music, inappropriate visuals, and haram content, it’s time for a change and I'm here to make that change happen, bi’ithnillah! Whether you’re just getting started with editing or already working with clients, this community is the perfect place to network, share knowledge, and support one another. I’ll be discussing the importance of halal video editing, sharing tips, and providing resources. 👉 Coming Soon: I’m working on launching a community where I will personally teach Muslims how to build a consistent 4- to 5-figure income through halal editing. 🏆 📢 Stay tuned for updates and make sure to get involved from the start! JazakAllahu Khairan for being part of this journey. Let’s make a difference together! 💪
