Hi,
my name is Anela and I'm coming from Slovenia. Right now I am living alone in Netherlands. My parents are from Bosnia and Herzegovina. My family have roots in Islam, but actually nobody is practicing Islam or behave like Muslim. As a child I was the only one who was going to school of Kur'an and I stop with everything. One of the reasons were: getting my education and all the science things I have learned, environment, who was against Islam and not understanding Islam. Lots of times I had very bad feeling inside me, cause I'm not religious and because I don't behave like a Muslim. However when I moved here in Holland the inner voice to return to Islam became stronger and stronger. This is my first year after long time that I'm fasting and praying. I start to read Kur'an and understand what is actually written inside. Since I start with fasting, everything changes from day to day: I'm loosing friends, on job I'm the main target of making fun, I need to move out from flat again etc. Its not easy period. In one hand I'm happy cause I have realized that really only Allah is what I have and in another hand I'm being sad cause I see how human nature can change if you are different from others. I feel need to find new friends who will accept me as I am. Hope I will find some of you here on this page.
Salam, Anela

It is Allah mercy for you dear sister, that you have started practicing Islaam. Do not worry too much for things that are happening you after you started practicing Islaam, because they happen to so many Muslims as people are having wrong understading of Islaam and see it completely wrong. SubhanAllah, I do not know why is like that, but we must try to be patiente .May Allah help you in every step, and make you firm in Islaam.
