EASY GUIDE FOR NEW MUSLIMS

7) DEALING WITH YOUR FAMILY AND FRIENDS

Upon becoming a Muslim you will certainly find opposition and distress from your family members and friends.  It will probably be the greatest test you will go through in your starting life as a Muslim and can be a great source of grief and anxiety.  However, you should know that for the most part they are only concerned about you and want the best for you, therefore be patient, love them more than you have before, and let the beauty of Islam shine through you.  It may be a lifelong process, but be patient, because as Allah says in the Qur’an "and verily with every hardship comes relief, verily with every hardship comes relief." (94:5-6)
