Assalamualikum.
Im a revert my self and i find it hard. We need to understand life is hard and everything is hard at first, all we need to remember is this is for our own good. We come to the right path yet we have hard times. That's it Allaah is testing us, were all getting tested in different ways.
It's the same for me, my Brother is very aggressive and at times he says all kind of words to me just because im a Muslim now. I feel utterly upset and hurt but then i think why am i going to put my self down when i have Allaah for me. Are we not doing this for our one selves or others?. Don't we sit down and pray to Allaah to guide us. It's all a test because this life is not enternal. We need to always remember there's many more people out there who are facing in very hard times. I've had my brothers doing all sorts to me just becaise i have reverted to Islam, but it's all for good. Alhamdulilah now that im a Muslim i feel much better and since the death of my Mom i feel close to Allaah.
Yes, it's hard because i have my Homies and blads who are Non-Muslim and therefore i struggle soo hard to stay away from them yet they turn to me acting as if im not a Muslim. Thats a test for me to see how easily i can turn to Kaffirs rather turn to Allaah. In happy times we forget Allaah and then in need we turn to him, surely we should remember Allaah at all times.
It's hard for me to have my tea/lunch and even breakfast because of my neices/nephews, my brother and also my Sister-in-law who eat haram food, but insha'Allaah im doing all my best to stay away from all this insha'Allaah.
Anywho, i can go on forever but i need to go now.
Insha'Allaah, be back soon. May Allaah guide us all. Amin
