I was having a conversation with my mum about names recently. someone came onto the news I forgot who it was now, but their first name was Muhammad "something". I sed to my mum, something about him being Muslim and my mum goes " i never knew Muhammad was a Muslim name, i just associated it with foreigners" :rollseyes :rollseyes
I didnt quite know what to say. I explained that our prophet is Muhammad and thats why a lot of Muslim guys have that name. she sed that she never associated it with any religion...just the fact that non-british people generally tend to have that name.:?
We were looking at some pictures of my husband and she goes"im sure hed look much better without a beard" i showed her a pic of before he had a beard and she goes "see, hes soo good looking" i just tried to explain the sunnah of beard and the fact that its part of hijab for a guy amongst other things. then she goes "so basically ur protective over him" i was like "hell yeh!! hes my hubby!!" its a similar reason to why i wear a scarf - was i wrong to go down this route of explaination:?:? i duno im confused.
I sudednly realised, despite how much i try to talk to her about Islam, how little she listens, or uinderstands. She is genuinely not intrested in Islam. I got really hurt thinking that she doesnt wanna take an intrest in my life or what I believe so pationately about. I often talk and try to explain but end up getting shouted down....
sorry this post rambles but i just suddenly realised whats goingon.....imsad imsad
