HI VANDANA!
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR MESSAGE. IT WAS REALLY SWEET TO READ, AND I'M SO HAPPY YOU REACHED OUT TO ME. I'M GLAD YOU WANTED TO BEFRIEND SOMEONE FROM PAKISTAN.
AND YESSS, I LOVE WAHAJ ALI TOO! I'M A HUGE FAN OF HIS. HE'S AN AMAZING ACTOR, AND I ABSOLUTELY LOVED HIS ROLE AS MURTASIM KHAN. I CAN TOTALLY UNDERSTAND WHY YOU ADMIRE HIM SO MUCH.
I ALSO WANT TO THANK YOU FOR SHARING SOMETHING SO PERSONAL. I CAN TELL THESE FEELINGS ARE GENUINE, AND YOU'RE NOT SAYING THIS AS A JOKE.
ABOUT YOUR QUESTION, I DON'T THINK THERE'S ANYTHING WRONG WITH YOU. I THINK YOU'RE FEELING THIS WAY BECAUSE YOUR HEART IS GENUINELY CURIOUS ABOUT ISLAM AND ITS BEAUTY. SOMETIMES WE COME ACROSS SOMETHING THAT BRINGS US A SENSE OF PEACE OR MAKES US WANT TO LEARN MORE, AND THAT'S A NATURAL FEELING. IT DOESN'T NECESSARILY MEAN SOMETHING MYSTICAL IS HAPPENING.
FROM AN ISLAMIC POINT OF VIEW, WE DON'T BELIEVE IN REINCARNATION OR PAST LIVES, SO WE WOULDN'T SAY YOU WERE A MUSLIM IN A PAST LIFE. ONLY ALLAH KNOWS WHY CERTAIN THINGS TOUCH OUR HEARTS, BUT FEELING PEACE WHEN YOU HEAR THE ADHAN OR SEE SOMETHING RELATED TO ISLAM ISN'T SOMETHING YOU SHOULD BE AFRAID OF.
IF YOU'RE CURIOUS, I THINK YOU SHOULD LEARN ABOUT ISLAM SLOWLY, AT YOUR OWN PACE. IT'S NEVER A BAD THING TO LEARN ABOUT OTHER RELIGIONS, ASK QUESTIONS, AND UNDERSTAND DIFFERENT BELIEFS. SEEKING KNOWLEDGE IS ALWAYS A GOOD THING, AND YOU DON'T HAVE TO FEEL PRESSURED TO MAKE ANY DECISIONS.
I ALSO RESPECT THAT YOU'RE A DEVOTEE OF LORD SHIVA AND LORD KRISHNA, AND I REALLY APPRECIATE HOW HONEST YOU WERE WITH ME. I HOPE, WITH TIME, YOU FIND THE CLARITY YOU'RE LOOKING FOR.
AND IF YOU EVER HAVE ANY QUESTIONS ABOUT PAKISTAN, OUR CULTURE, OR ISLAM, YOU CAN ALWAYS TEXT ME. I'LL DO MY BEST TO ANSWER WHATEVER I CAN.
ALSO, IF YOU'D LIKE, YOU CAN FOLLOW ME ON INSTAGRAM @MINHA.SAMIR. I'M MOSTLY ACTIVE THERE, SO IT'LL BE EASIER FOR US TO STAY IN TOUCH AND CHAT. TAKE CARE OF YOURSELF.
