I am QUITTING the debate space indefinitely.
After a deep and sincere conversation with our revert brother
@EnochIslam I have come to the realization that I have done more harm than good by trying to debate without a proper foundation in true Islamic knowledge.
I ask Allah and the Muslim community to forgive me for what I have done in the past and to allow me to enter a new chapter of my life as a student of Islam instead of using Islam to my own will. I deeply regret taking debates with individuals who constantly disrespect Islam and I will steer far away from them.
Truly, after speaking to our brother Enoch I have realized that the presence I have can be used for something greater and better than wasting time arguing with those who hate us.
If I ever hurt you with my words, I sincerely ask for your forgiveness as I have made many mistakes in my life that I now seek to rectify before I meet my Lord on Judgement Day.
The last 10 days of Ramadan spent in the Masjid was an invitation by my good friend and lawyer
@HassanShibly who helped me in my journey back to Islam away from hedonism.
I’m still learning, and I have no knowledge to speak on Islam in a public space, let alone in debates.
So I will refrain from doing so until I finish my proper schooling recommended to me and I will continue to strive for Allah in private.
My efforts will be focused on creating content for journalism, activism, and financial education.
I hope that you continue this journey with me as I navigate this chaotic world as a human.
I ask Allah to forgive me and forgive anyone who may have done wrong through my influence or actions, and I sincerely ask those who support me or know about me to make dua for me to become the best version of myself while I am alive.
This is my only personal goal in life… to become the best version of myself so I can serve others around me in the best way possible. That’s it.
May Allah accept my sincere repentance.
