Salaam Alakum,
I became a convert last year at Ramadan I am still new and learning.I am puzzle in one area of my life, I work in the fashion ind. where how I look markets my buissness and I get a lot of women whom want to look like me and come see me because of it. I am happy for the fact that that I been blessed in that area of my life but I must admit even thou it open the doors for me it has caused me alot of hardships and pains too ,Its truly been a double edge sword. None of my peers co-workers or clients know of my convertsion. I have not told anyone of this factor because my livelyhood depends on my secrecy. It's been an eye opener for me to see how deep ill and bitter negative and misinformed feelings people have toward Islam, including extremely educated. If I was ever to declare my secret they would be flabbergasted because I am so well liked but I am afraid I would loose my job.If my own family did not understand my convertsion, why would strangers? .......I do love Islam
Thanks,Sheba
