Left Alone

[love2011]

Hello to all brothers and sisters...

Recently....i thought of converting into Islam....and approached a lot a Muslim friends and others...and learned good things from them....!!!

But when i said to my friends about my decision.......they are not talking to me....in fact they are avoiding me.....am feeling guilty now-days.....!!!
and my parents also hating me for my decision.....No body are talking to me....am left alone.....!!!

And others are telling me that if i convert to Muslim....i would not get married....as all Muslim ladies would only marry actual Muslims rather than converts

Hey,

See, everything is in the hands of Allah. If you truthfully believe in Islam then you should submit your full trust in Allah no matter how bad the circumstance appear on the outside. Believe that you would be in safe hands under the guidance and watch of Allah no matter what.

There are many muslim girls who would marry people who convert to Islam and be clear, converts ARE considered to be actual muslims. Anyone who thinks otherwise is misled.

Im not sure what to advise bruv but the last bit is simply not true i mean yeh there are some sisters who are picky about whever ur a revrt or not but whats important is u and how good a muslim u r and most sisters kno that so no need to wory about that many revert guys get married

But no one are talking to me...i college am sitting alone...!!!
at home no one are talking...really frustrating to live a lonely life..!!!
this is just because i said i like to pray for Allah...!!!
And if i say the truth that i want to convert to Muslim...its really hard to imagine...!!

not to scare you or anything, but just so that you can see the (not necessarily all that bad) reality but in some cases, being a good Muslim...by default you will face difficulty and loneliness. Like i said, im not saying that to make you disheartened, but there are alot of Muslims who when they become practicing*, are also abandonment by thier friends and in some cases humiliated and have no family support either.

but his isn't always a bad thing. Sure, its not a good thing to have no friends, but becoming a Muslim or becoming a better Muslim is a good way to filter who your true friends are.

even if in the start you lose your friends, eventually god willing you will find better ones just for the simple reason that you, as a Muslim, will go to places where there are Muslims such as mosques (or lectures basically anywhere that there are Muslims) and you will find people who are like-minded like you. You know the saying "birds of a feather flock together" well its true and Muslims are like birds because who flock to the mosques because we have the same beliefs which "drive" us to go to places where we will find like minded people.

Similarly, people who study will find friends at the university they go to. and people who like to party, will find friends at parties as-well (excuse the bad example).

----
*I've intentionally put "become practicing" and not "reverted" to show that these types of situations (such as loneliness, etc) also affect non revert Muslims, and are not exclusive to revert muslims.

Brother love, I see you live in India.

Well you get food, and water, right? Eat/drink/live/pray...

After your education find a woman. Don't say that a converted person is not a actual muslim. :O The converted muslims I know, are much more religious than many of those who are born in muslim families but smoke, drink alcohol, and so **** for their parrents.

Of course women would marry you if you have an good education and great wise mind (intelligence).

Trust in Allah, and Allah will help you.

Allah is time, and lonelyness is not that bad. Better be lonely, than in a bad company of people. Before Islamic times, the prophet (saw) also used to go to the mountains to be lonely. If no one is worth being a friend, it's their problem, right? Because you know that you are going the right path, and others ain't.

I spoke to some converts and their parrents are a big problem. They don't like their children leaving their culture. But as a muslim you MUST respect your parrents. Jannah is at your moms feet.
