what is...? - Page 2

MuslimahBarb · **Re: what is...? -** 11-03-2007

For me it was learning the arabic for the prayers. I knew the positions of prayer from watching my husband pray. It was the arabic that gave me the biggest problem but, we had a small laminated prayer card that I kept with me and studied over it every chance I got and it helped alot.

To a lesser degree the fasting. I had never really fasted since there is no prescribed fasting in Christianity.

For me the hardest things was telling my parents especially my mom. But alhamdullilah after facing quite a few difficulties with them they now accepted who I am.

Understanding and realising where culture has superceded the Qur'an and Sunnah. Getting rid of the curtural aspects whithin family & friends which have no place in Qur'an and Sunnah...

The hardest part for me was to overcome the natural inclination to associate with others with a similar appearance, background and personal heritage as my own. I have encountered very few Caucasian American Muslims.

I just realised that my friend usually get confused and stressed out when she came living in malaysia.

i guess she easily get confused when she is near the non-practising muslim (showing off as if they are doing the right thing) and comparing it to the things that she learned.

Once her employer told/teached her differently on how to practise islam and told her off that she is doing it the wrong way.

My advice is don't let the others make you feel down. You are different than the others, they can't be like you and you can't be like them. Just be who you are but never forget to improve yourself islamically.
