hola MustafaMc,

that is an interesting point about associations. i naturally assume other latinos are roman catholic, but i met a pentacostal latino in texas once. it was very strange, i felt a little bit like they had betrayed their heritage... which is wrong of me to think about somebody but it was my natural reaction... i imagine many people consider you strange for being a muslim.

que Dios te bendiga

Salam guys,

I couldnt but help to record my admiration to you all reverts. You all have to be thankful to Allah who guided you to the light and right path.

You have overcome so tough obstacles with the help of Allah the Almighty.

I wish you all hold to that path till the day you are heavenily rewarded.

I wouldnt call him strange, I would call him different on the right ground.

The point is not to imitate others but to go on the right path, however different or strange in the eyes of others!
:okay:

its true not to try to imitate others, but sometimes its hard when you work a 9-5 job in an unislamic environment. it's hard to not go to party's where you mix freely with the opposite sex etc to move up in the place you work. Its a double edged sword sometimes, especially when you are new to Islam as I still am, and my coworkers have known me before I reverted. makes it a little harder.

There are 2 things that are hard for me.
1. Learning Arabic. I know very little.

2. Which is the most hardest thing for me at the moment is getting my Christian friends and family to excepted that I am Muslim as most of them don't full understand why I turned to Islam and away from there faith. I'm getting streasted about it but if I keep praying, I carm down and hope they will understand and excepted me as for who I am.

I have heard that learning arabic and the complexities of the religion is hard. Likewise the temptations of former habits, fashions etc are hard to bear with too.

But mashaallah to all you reverted brothers and sisters! Keep it up!
