Title: Facing the challenges, savoring the triumphs - life of a new

These are some testimonials for this interview.

MASHALLAH When I read this [list of issues] it made me to cry because all of these things, EVERY SINGLE ONE, I am facing at this moment as a convert to ISLAM. When I try to explain to other people all the sacrifices or hardship that come of converting, people think that I am crazy and they do not truly understand. Thank you for making light of this. -sister M.

Those issues on that list have been a source of consternation with me for years. I would have left Islam along time ago if I had not taught MYSELF. -sister A


Yupp its hard for us to explain how it feels to stand out because converts have an interesting disposition[link of two quotes] but we also should remember how blessed we are many born Muslims, may be born into Islam but do not practice, and then they see others who leave their former lives to become Muslim, and waAllahu Alim that might strike an interest in their own journey with Islam, we can use these issues that converts deal with to our advantage and teach others and also help those newer to the faith inshaAllah -Sister W

I wonder how Na'ima would feel if her kids became Jewish or Hindu? Would she show the same respect that she suggests reverts should be shown? I DOUBT IT!

[puffinstuffsmum]

Her kids aren't fully black! Much as she may like to believe it they are 1/4 Scottish - Allah forbid! Fatimah wears a stupid niqaab, just like Bint Robert aka Thando McLaren.

This story of Naema inspired me, it really made see life in different procepective and made more optomistic..Thank you sister Naeema, may Allah reward you with his blessing..

[puffinstuffsmum]

I've got to give it to her, she's got the courage of her convictions. Don't particularly like her, but she believes what she says and says what she believes.

I think we take whole of Islam for granted. we need the change in our environment . there should be diffrence between the house of a believer and disbeliever . that is not the case most of the time love of Dunya has taken us ove fear of poverty . May Allah guide us all.
