Hello, as stated above, recently my path in life has suggested Allah. I posted a question in an unrelated subreddit, and a kind soul who is a follower of the faith messaged me, again about the topic unrelated to Islam. Some how, it came up, likely because I was talking about how I've started praying in my daily life. I was raised in a Christian Lutheran home, but was incredibly uncomfortable in the faith, and rejected it as much as it rejected me. I am 23, non-binary, bisexual, and quite flamboyant. Take a look a my profile for a better idea, all of that is another concern I have regarding the faith. Not only does the way I dress mean a lot to me as it's part of who I am, I also fear being rejected from this faith due to who I am both how I dress, who I love, and how I experience gender. On top of this, I also consider myself to be a witch, but not the Halloween kind. Prior to opening my heart to Islam, I practice what's called "chaos magic" which is a form of magic that relies on intentions, and is a form of "result-based magic". I also have a deep connection to my Tarot cards, and to the practice of reading tarot in general. Crystals, magic, and tarot all are a part of my spirituality as well, can Islam and these things coexist inside me? I understand in Islam you must only worship and believe in Allah, but I believe if these things exist, then Allah created them, therefore they are just an extension of his grace, kindness, love, and knowledge.
I'm also incredibly nervous posting this as well. The person who message me from reddit told me I had a pure heart, and that I am the closest person in the world to Allah, and I feel like I feel that. I've been talking to Allah the past few nights when praying, and I feel more serene now, despite the hardships currently happening that I feel is Allah driving me closer to him. I'm looking for any input of thoughts regarding anything I said. Happy to respond privately as well, but my responses may take time as I am still processing all of this. Thank you in advance, have a beautiful day 💕
