💐 In The Name Of Allah The Most Gracious The Most Merciful
📜 Dear Muslim revert, don't despair of Allah's Mercy.
Allah the Almighty sees your faith which you conceal,
Your heart accepts Just One God. Tawheed is your belief.
You love Islam but then you meet these difficulties...
~•~
Some born Muslims suspect you, doubting if you're sincere,
Or you're simply acting to join their community.
Then ostracized and disowned by your own family,
With both sides hating on you, you feel stuck in between.
~•~
It's tough being misunderstood by fellow Muslims,
Abandoning you as you still haven't stopped some sins,
Not knowing you're struggling yet striving with patience,
Hoping you can find friends who are more understanding.
~•~
In Ramadan often you have to hide you're fasting,
Most of your Salahs/prayers are done in seclusion,
Inside your room where few Islamic books are hidden,
Wearing hijab and modest clothes only when praying.
~•~
Like a game of hide and seek, you have Islam concealed,
Afraid to be harmed by loved ones if it is revealed.
You're guilty of pretending, yet you know it's all real,
The real you is Muslim. With Islam your wounds are healed.
~•~
Dear Muslim revert, worship Allah so patiently,
Even if you must hide, pray to God consistently,
Say Du'as and Dhikr secretly and sincerely,
Study Islam when given the opportunity.
~•~
Eventually Allah can guide your loved ones. Trust Him.
Even if it takes years for them to become Muslim,
Invite them to Allah's Way and continue praying,
Do Da'wah with your manners, show them what they're missing.
~•~
Treat non-Muslim relatives with justice and mercy.
Your improved character can show them Islam's beauty.
Attend Islamic circles even if secretly,
Or befriend pious Muslims who can teach you your Deen.
~•~
Also learn the Qur'an, study its verses' meanings.
As you research more, you'll become better gradually.
Keep striving with Jannah as your main destination.
Paradise is where you'll find eternal bliss and peace.
