finding light
Ya Rab! Forgive me..
Asalamualykum my dear Brothers and Sisters!
Raise your hand if you missed me!!! I missed you all very much. I wish I had the time to sit on TTI like I used to but I have changed jobs (JazakAllah Khair for all who made that dua for me) and i am so super busy and Alhamdulillah so much happier.
But I think of you all so often and sometimes pop my head in to see who Aapa is suggesting a second wife to or if Brother Asif has been banned (again!)
So I would like to raise a topic which I know has been discussed before but i am personally feeling this more now in my life....
i have found as time went by and I have alhamdulillah become a more practicing Muslim, i find myself closer to my Creator and hope Inshallah I continue this way all my life until I can be in front of the Almighty one day, my loved ones have stopped understanding me....
I wont go into the details too much as they are personal and should remain that way, but anyone can give advice on how do i communicate with my family in an effective way without breaking into arguements over how "extremist" and "fundamental" I have become. Mainlly these issues arise when it has to do with my life - e.g. marriage or free-mixing or loving what Allah loves and hating what Allah hates... It just doesnt seem to be something that my family understands. Sometimes I have to just walk away to stop myself from screaming! I dont want to attempt doing dawah right now (as I have tried that but failed as I dont think i am ready for it) but all I want to know is if others have experienced this, from your persepective, how can I make my new relationship with my family work - after all i am a new person ALHAMDULILLAH!
Look forward to hear from you all (even if you pop in to say Salaam )
BarakAllah feek!
