Hello

transition? · **Hello -** 11-24-2007

Hello, I'm Arshiya. I'm 16 and a junior in high school. I'm from the States. I joined a few months back but I haven't posted much. Well my story is: I haven't had the most religious upbringing. Sunday school didn't help. It was filled with a bunch of kids who were forced to go. and their was a lot of drama (the usual) at each and every one of them. I can't go back to the local mosque to get help b/c there isn't anyone I know who can help. For right now , I can't look up to living people as mentors, but I can always look up to the Prophets and scholars, unfortunately, I don't have a clue about them, and I don't know any specific books about them.
I finally got a teacher who inspired me about the beauty of Islam and taught me Arabic. but the teacher left to Saudi Arabia. It's been about a year. My family is more concerned about college. I haven't really told about them about how I feel about Islam and life yet. I've got a few problems that often times seem unbearable. But I think I once heard that Allah (SWT) Knowledge is everywhere. So in some book, sentence, forum, audio clip lay the answers. It seems that I don't really understand Arabic, it's hard to just go straight to the Qur'an to look for answers. I don't really have any Muslim friends and I don't know any that live close enough to help me.

Somehow I feel that I wrote too much

Assalamu'alaykum

Welcome to the forum. You will find many of us here are reverts and some of us have had experiences similar to yours. But, remember a Muslim is a Muslim and there is no difference between a 100 year old man who has practiced for life of a brand new teen age revert who has only been Muslim for a matter of seconds. We are all equals in the Ummah and all share the same beliefs.

That was nicely said.

Dear sister ,
You are not alone in this world. Before your good brothers and sisters here, there will be God always with you along your way of life.

You are lucky you found Islam. The more you read and know about it, the more you ae convinced.
