It’s daft to think that the moment you utter your shahada you will have arrived at your destination.
It’s an achievement, without a doubt, but you’re yet to contend with the sectarians vying to make you their kind of Muslim.
Your testimony of faith is merely the start of your adventure. From here on, there’s still far to walk.
So place your trust in God, grasp hold of the firm rope of guidance, and wander on.
There will be many trials and tests ahead. But keep going. Strive hard. And then one day, inshallah, you will truly arrive.
Seek that destination.
