true this life is short but when a women comes to islam she has to change- when she changes it is for the husband to stand for her- if not him then the father of brother- i just feel like there is no one to protect me in a way- like when i go out im scared my hijaab might get tore off by youths etc- like a man has to be a safegurad for the women i feel like i havent got that nd feel like i cant observe it 100% becaus eof this-
i also have to be a father to my daughter and i fee like sometimes i cant do that since i changed my ways.
:sl: sister,
They are two separate ayaat of the Qur'aan, and I love them too!
The first is from Suratul Baqarah ayah 186 "And when My servants question you concerning Me, then surely I am near. I answer the prayer of the supplicant when he calls on Me. So let them hear My call and believe in Me so that they may be guided aright."
The second is from Surah Qaaf ayah 16 "And indeed We have created man, and We know what his soul whispers to him, and We are nearer to him than his jugular vein."
All praise be to Allah who guided you. Sister, you will have to be strong and pray to Allah and remember Him lots, especially in the absence of a mahram that sticks up for you. There are many reverts on this forum eg former Christians. Upon coming to Islam, they were completely new to the deen and had no Muslim mahrams at all. Sometimes, something might happen to someone with a protective mahram, but they happened to be out without them, or it happened despite the presence of the mahram. InshaAllah Allah will protect you. Also recite this du'aa daily in morning and evening:
Allahumma innee as-alukal-'Afwa wal 'AAafiyah, fid-dunya wal-aakhirah, Allahumma innee as-alukal-'Afwa wal 'AAafiyah fee deenee, wadunyaaya wa-ahlee, wamaalee, Allahummas-tur 'Aawraatee, wa-aamin raw'AAatee, Allahummah-fathnee min bayni yadayya, wamin khalfee, wa'Ainyameenee, wa 'An shimaalee, wa min fawqee, wa-a'Oothu bi 'Athamatika an ughtaala min tahtee.
Translation: "O Allah, I ask You for pardon and well-being in this life and the next. O Allah, I ask You for pardon and well-being in my religious and worldly affairs, and my family and my wealth. O Allah, veil my weaknesses and set at ease my dismay. O Allah, protect me from the front and from behind and on my right and on my left and from above, and I take refuge with You lest I be swallowed up by the earth." Ibn Maajah 2/332
