:salam2:
there are alos times when you may be surrounded by a lot of muslims and don't feel welcomed. this usually happens to reverts. i try to keep my head up and try to understand people from their old country and i realize that many of them are stuck in their ways. it's not right but i know it's a reality.
i have gotten some type of welcome from some of the younger brothers at the masjid, but the problem is that they aren't there enough. sadly, a lot of haram things are afflicting today's muslim youth. they are getting caught up with the wrong things in this dunya.
i am now 27 but i became muslim when i was 13 years old. i took a hiatus from islam for a few years, but even back then no one really befriended me. so i must say that i am a very lonely muslim. my family aren't muslim, my " friends " aren't muslim, and my co-workers aren't muslim. it's a great concern for me as i pursue a marriage partner, because i don't really have any islamic references for her wali.
