Shukran, friend.
To be honest, no. And I'm really wanting to. But I'm afraid that they'll judge me, making false accusations about our faith and such. They're not the most tolerant and open-minded people out there. However, I could at least tell my parents. Surely they'll understand my new place in Islam. And who knows? Perhaps with some gentle, kind persuasion, they could become Muslims too!
Alright, I will, as I have many questions that need answering, especially with Ramadan just around the corner now, which I'm kind of nervous about...
Let me step in here if I may.
"With gentle, kind persuasion" No, dont ever try to persuade someone to Islam. Your job is to tell curious people about it, tell them your experience and THAT IS IT. There is no compulsion, and if Allah (swt) does not will them, then thats just how it is.
A friend of mine, who is a Muslimah, is a good Muslimah, she is. May Allah (swt) be pleased with her. But she sugar-coats Islam to non-Muslims trying to "persuade" them or something. And I'm like
"Sister, you cannot tell them that dating and sex outside Marriage is okay, that isnt true. Tell them true facts or dont say anything at all"
So yeah, as a Muslim you can give Dawah, tell the curious about Islam, but dont meet someone with the intent to convert them. That is a Christian thing, we do not imitate the Christians. Please dont let this come off as rude >____<
But I'm at a loss here, brethren. Since I just accepted Islam this year, should I just...I don't know, skip it until I'm more ready for next year? It kinda crept up on me all of a sudden, and it's just a few weeks away. Sorry for coming to you all with my problems, I just don't know what to do...
On my first Ramadan, I was also a new revert, unprepared!
And I ended up breaking fast all the time because I was not waking up early enough to eat, then going without ANYTHING until 4pm and would shake, dry-heave as if i was going to vomit...Not nice.
If you are honestly unprepared, have no idea where to start, I would advise you to get tips on fasting. The trick is to waking up early enough to eat a meal and get hydrated before your fast begins.
Also, your weight and such seems like an issue. Can you see a doctor and ask him if fasting is okay for you? To a normal healthy person, Ramadan is not abusive to us. It's rewarding. If it's abusive there is something wrong. Allah (swt) only wants best for you, which is why young children, elderly, and the sick do not have to participate in fasting.
