I'm deeply sorry that you're going through this. What you're facing is painful, and it's incredibly brave of you to speak out. You're not alone, and what you're feeling is valid.

1. You Are Not Alone in Your Journey

Many new Muslims face trials after embracing Islam — including rejection, abuse, or misunderstanding — even from those closest to them. The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ himself and many of his companions went through similar hardships. You are walking a noble path.

“Do people think they will be left alone because they say, ‘We believe,’ and will not be tested?” — Surah Al-‘Ankabut (29:2)

Your patience, strength, and sincerity in faith are seen by Allah — and He promises ease after hardship.

2. Know That You Are Loved by Allah

The fact that you've accepted Islam with a sincere heart, despite pressure and abuse, is a strong sign of your imaan (faith). Allah loves those who turn to Him despite the odds.

“Indeed, those who have said, ‘Our Lord is Allah’ and then remained steadfast – the angels will descend upon them, \[saying], ‘Do not fear and do not grieve but receive good tidings of Paradise, which you were promised.’” — Surah Fussilat (41:30)

3. If You Want to Speak Out, You Can Do It With Wisdom
When you want to tell others about your acceptance of Islam. Instead of arguing, do it with actions. Start following the obligations of Islam related to people and people will automatically like you for your actions. For example, respecting your elders, being good with children and helping your colleagues. Actions talk louder than words.

4. You Deserve Protection and Peace

If you're in a country where you're experiencing real danger or threats, and it’s not safe to practice your religion freely, you have the right to seek support — from embassies, Muslim organizations, or even legal services. Islam gives you the right to protect your dignity and life.

Let me know your current situation more clearly (you can message privately if needed), and I can try to guide you with steps to ensure your safety and well-being.

5. You're Part of a Global Ummah Now

You are now part of a global family of 1.9 billion brothers and sisters. Many of us are ready to support, listen, and pray for you. If you’re open to it, I can help you connect with:

* Local Muslim support groups
* Online communities for converts
* Scholars who understand what you're facing

You're not alone anymore.

Please reply if you're feeling overwhelmed right now, and I’ll stay with you. Your life matters. Your faith matters. And I’m here to help however I can.
