A Catholic Nun: Bad Experience But Beautiful End. - umm Zachariah - 10-03-2004
Assalamu aleikum dear sister Sally,
You are going through trial after trial sister, it is hard when being in the middle of it but try to look at what you will gain afterwards. And we should always remember to say alhamdullillah, when times are good and when times are less good. Allah, SWT, is strenghtening us by His trials.
Sister I can only tell you that I think we may all be met by our Muslim brothers and sisters sometimes by misunderstand instead of understanding. I too can experience that, since I live in a Muslim country and of course people recognize me not being born here. I am now and then met by the word 'shrania', should mean something like, a kafr or Christian och Jew or whatever, that has 'just for fun' put the hijab on me, for whatever reason. By now I have heard it so many times so I have got almost used to it, but it did hurt me a lot in the beginning. AND this most often comes from women that do not wear hijab nor have very much on them. But it can also be said from others. BUT interesting enough I did so far not hear a man say it. And also the studying, not always nice looks, that gaze from my top to my shoes can also be very hurting. But inshaAllah I try to live like the Qur'an tells me to live, to not stare and avoid to look at people. Which can result in that I don't even recognize the women I know when I meet them.
But this has strenghten me very much mashaAllah, so sometimes I say 'lets go to the local market so I can do some daw'ah'!
InshaAllah sister you will also come strong out of this, just continue to have faith in Allah, SWT, He IS the best Protector, Keeper that you and we all have. Alhamdullillah.
Wasalam your sister

Sister Sally, u should be happy, there is a hadeeth i do not have it in full now which says if Allah loves a slave of his he will test him. So this is what u r going through now, test after test do not weaken, stay strong and prove to eveyrone that u r a true muslim
hold strong to Islam and never leave it sister u r on the right path. wasalam

Sobhan Allah Sally, I was just thinking about how u r 3 days ago
Sally Allah Is really testing your goal, aim and objective whether it is Muslims or Allah. Dont worry, u think we raised Muslims dont face this? I observed the Islamic dress code when I was 28, what I heard from women is unbelievable. Sobhan Allah, I had to leave a very highly paid job to take it, a co worker told me when r u taking it off. another said u think a decent man will want to marry u, the list goes on. It has nothing to do with being raised or revert. It is when others see u doing right and they are not or can not, that is when they become defensive even aggressive. Just think about it this.
hold on sister A Catholic Nun: Bad Experience But Beautiful End. - Dan - 10-04-2004

As Salam alaikum
Just a sign of a weakness in faith in others and strength in yours. I have experienced similar incidences. Stay strong, my sister.
