Assalamualikum Sisters and Brothers,
Since I have converted in June 2013, I have not heard from very many of the local muslims who would call/text me all the time to invite me for lunches and such and such. I feel as if their only goal was to convert me and now that I have they no longer want to be my friend. Whenever I meet muslim women (mostly south asian women) I will call them or ask them a question or ask for help on something and they always tel me to call the other american white sisters. Even the female scholar in my area has not helped me and tells me to call the white sisters as well... I call the female scholar so I do not have to talk to the male scholar and she doent want to help me. Maybe it is the area I am living in but allah have mercy I feel as if the south asian sisters in my area are racist. Even though my husband is Pakistani and we have a son together, I am learning Urdu and know enough to have a simple conversation. I do not know why they are acting this way. I have met maybe one or two asian sisters who are nice to me , other than that even when I greet the asian sisters in public they give such horrible stares as if they hate me. I was not expecting this reaction from the ummah. I am very disappointed. Please if anyone knows what I can do to help my situation please let me know.
Also I do wear full hijab as well as abaya so there is no doubt that I am muslim.
Any advice?
