As Salam Alaykum,

One thing that strikes me, as a new Muslim, is the happyness of fellow Muslims to hear someone take shahada, but then the reluctance to help those brothers and sisters out.

Everyone likes hearing that the Ummah is getting bigger, but only a handfull are happy to let reverts marry their daughters, let reverts share their food at their homes and even speak to reverts.

This leaves some reverts, alot sometimes, feeling left out. We all know that in order for us to change as people from our old ways we should have a new start, old friends can be bad for you, so you leave them hoping to become better, but without the support of the rest of the community reverts soon feel lonely and in turn beging to feel bad about becoming Muslim, not because they feel Islam is not real but because they feel upset all the time.

So this place, this thread, is a release area, where the new reverts can put suggestions that they would like to tell the Muslim community, things that they would like to have done for them, you know what I mean right?

My one would be,

Brothers in the community support me, symphasise with my position and help me to be strong in the deen, make me feel like a brother of yours.

Now some of you better reply else I'll feel stupid.
