despite what each persons idea is, whether they are muslim or non-muslim, islam teaches that we should have respect and show kindness to everyone.
no matter how a person is percieved, their is only one thing that really matters and that is our relationship with our Creator, and Allah ta'aala judges those through a persons piety regardless of race, gender, status and wealth.
as a born muslim i have found i am still judged by other muslims, so my religion does not come into it, i think its just human nature, this attitude can only change through implementing islam in its entirety. i would not worry too much about other people. although the grass always seems greener on the other side, its not until you are on the other side that you realise that the grass isnt always green when it comes to dealing with muslims and non-muslims alike, unfortunately it wont always be a positive experience.
we should only care what Allah ta'aala thinks of us, as long as we dont cause any harm, injustice, oppression, hatred, malice, etc. towards anyone else we dont have anything to worry about.
politically, same as with any other person practicing any religion, their are different natured people with various different habits, views and understanding. if a person wants to progress in becoming close to Allah ta'aala, then we should not allow other people to interfere in the process.
Islam is a beautiful religion, the more we learn, understand and implement the more we feel drawn to it. dont worry too much of having experiences. the main thing is that we abide by the laws of our Creator, whether we experience anything positive or not. our final goal is the pleasure of our Creator, inshAllah. often the mistake comes when islam is judged by its people and not by its teachings, we all have strengths and weaknesses.
dont think ive done justice to your questions, but just wanted to share my view. thankyou for posting.
Alhamdulillah, others haveaddressed your question quite well. Certainly, the overwhelmingmajority of born-Muslims have no less than absolute admiration and lovefor their revert brethren. May Allah increase us all in love and unity.Aameen.
Just want to add a few points following on from your initial post, 'thewander'.
Firstly, the crux of the 'full experience' of a Mu'min (believer),has to be the moment when one sincerely declares their belief in Allahas the One and Only Deity, and Muhammad (peace and blessings be uponhim) as His messenger. As a revert, you must have made that declarationwith deep conviction after contemplation that many born-Muslims maynever have undertaken. We must never underestimate the weight of thosewords, and should replenish our faith often through their repetition.
Secondly, with regards understanding the words of Allah - the Qur'an,the journey of seeking sacred knowledge is life-long, and the study ofthe beautiful language is arduous, but full of delight. Embark on itpromptly, in whatever capacity you can, and in due course you will berewarded with the sheer exultation of discovery, in shaa Allah !
There are many online institutes which offer courses in the Arabic language including:
Your post is somewhat confusing but the above reply is the true picture of the situation...i have had the good fortune to know and teach many revert sisters and to me they are my own sisters whereby i share in their joy and griefs. Personally i feel honoured to know and help. I pray you find the truth
This cannot be undone and I am sure it will be greatly appreciated.
Please wait...
