Hi. I'm a revert since sept 2012 and I'm really struggling with Islam and my emaan, I do have a supportive husband, but I haven't prayed or read Quran in ages neither do I wear hijab. I have many personal struggles with my 2 older children and I suffer anxiety and depression I've tried "baby steps" with Islam but it's not working, I also love just yards from the masjid but can't bring my self to go. I feel so alone and now I don't know what to do  ? |

As-Salamu 'Alaykum
I'm a more recent revert (2014)and perhaps still basking in the glow of new found enlightenment.... But I felt I know where your coming from. I too have a husband, adult children and all kinds of pressures daily that come with that (I cant seem to get myself into a Mosque either). Might I suggest you start with prayer- anxiety and depression often stem from a sense of powerlessness and a sense that you lack control over your life. Remember we are "muslims".... We Submit. Simply offer your fears and anxieties to Allah- Allah can handle all things better than you could and realization that you don't actually control anything is remarkably liberating! Ask Allah for guidance with sincerity- get a relationship going again and THEN try the Quran. I think Allah will grant you guidance and peace. And another suggestion...Do something a little outside your comfort zone just for Allah... I just did! I've never posted a response on a blog!

Asalaamu aalaikum! I am a revert since January 2013. I struggle with finding consistent support from other sisters. I am a mom of 8 and 4 grandkids. I am lonely because I do not have the consistent contact and interaction of my sisters in Islam.Just to conversate even would be great. However there is only one sister that is has been in contact since the day we met but she does not live in the same state. I love this sister cause she is by far the most support I have. My dissatisfaction is with not having the local support from the sisters. Can someone please conversate with me? I realized that I ought not consider leaving Islam due to spiritual flaws of the human kind. When I think of rejection I have to remind myself that Islam is not the flaw but its people. There could be various reasons for the lack of support but to ALL MY REVERTS REMEMBER ALLAH AND CONTINUE STRIVING TO INCREASE YOUR FAITH. ALLAH DIDN'T DISAPPOINT US THEREFORE WE SHOULD REMEMBER THAT THOSE WHO HAVE ARE HUMAN LIKE US AND FLAWED LIKE US. I am lonley many times and married briefly a Muslm man who hurt me I pray alone or not at allbut in the midst of it all I remember that Allah should never be disregarded just because another muslim let me down or broke my heart. Please any sisters of brothers may conversate with me via email. mmrichard73@gmail.com

I find it difficult to that because I do indeed feel helpless. I noticed when I lived in a Islamic filled city I was able to connect with other sisters. Now that I live in a different state it is just hard. I try but feel discouraged. I married a muslim man but that didn't turn out well. So now I have been trying to find other ways to connect with other Muslims via inet. |

Turn back to Allah and use patience. Also, look into getting a therapist. Depression doesn't go away when we become Muslim but with Allah it can get better.
