I’ve experienced all these stages and there were many moments I felt like giving up. Only less than a handful of born-Muslims were there by my side but the rest were my fellow convert sisters. Some don’t even wear hijab and some struggle to pray their five daily prayers but they were always the ones who helped encouraged me and gave me a helping hand when I cried out . I learned a lot from these sisters . They made me realize that just because someone wears niqab or verbally shows their piety, doesn’t mean a thing.
Anybody can pray 5 times and fast and call themselves righteous but when their sisters are going through hardships and need your support, that’s when you truly know who is sincere and who really lives up to their so called preaching.
Some people are just all talk and all judgements. They point fingers at you but fail to look at themselves . Don’t be like that. Be that sister who throws judgements aside and welcomes that struggling-practicing sister into your arms. Don’t turn her away from the deen with harsh words and judgemental comments. This is not Islam and it is not the way of the Salaf.
Your good manners and character are the most beloved to Allah. Remember that. And remember that on the Day of Judgement, your actions will be in your favour because you chose to be a human and not an animal.
