i am happy to read your comment brodie. i can see you will embrace islam inshallah soon. if you accompany yourself with really good muslims (there are still a few around) you will see how your life will turn out to be even better. Allah loves you and that is why you write what you write. May Allah keep you close to Him and with the true message. May Allah bless you and the brothers and sisters in Brazil

actually it is applied to all countries. i know it is a taboo in Latin America but once you embrace Islam , that will come slowly and surely, no rush. important is that you do not commit shirk which means praying or worshipping other than Allah. it took me time (the free mixing thing) after i started praying at the age of 17 for the first time. even in arab countries, it can be difficult but you try your best in any situation. trust me when you please Allah, He will make it easy for you and everyone
