Kinda the same here akhi.
Its not that I'm treated badly but the friendships I have encountered is only on a basic level --- they wont invite you over or kinda like adopt you into their family or friends so you dont feel alone ---- the only ppl i have known to do this are other reverts (mostly single lol) but then they too get married and being a sister some may still be able to be in touch some may not --- but most likely they too are busy with their hubby and new life.
So where does that leave the single reverts?
Alone with no family support, stuck between 2 worlds cannot go back to jahilliya but left out of the muslim community, alone at eid -- ok so u go and join the eid prayers and its all good but then everyone goes off to someones house or something to carry on with further activities and u go home alone .
Im not bitter at this rather it saddens me yes but at least knowing that others are like me and feel like I do --- inspires me to make a change and DO something to bring us together -- to be a TRUE family there for one another just like how it says we should be in islam by allah swt and our Prophet saws.
So please ppl next time u see a new face in ur community --- WHY dont u just say salaams and stop for a chat???
remember that small deed without u even knowing at that stage can save a brother or sister from turning their back on PRACTISING islam even though in their hearts they truly believe
May allah swt save us from such things and save us from the whispers of shaytan and unite the ummah and make it stronger one community at a time
