Asalam Alaikum from NZ

 I am a newbie to this forum, also a recent revert - May of this year  

I live in New Zealand, and just after giving Shahada in Pakistan, I married a wonderful Pakistani Muslim man.

Unfortunately with the troubles of the world today and with Muslims not getting "good publicity" I am having a lot of difficulty in getting a visa for my new husband.  Not only that but I have come under personal attack for being a Muslim.  I cover my head and so I am obviously now a "moving target" within my own neighbourhood.  I had dog faeces thrown at my back door......not pleasant I can assure you.  I feel somewhat violated.......and I have not done a thing wrong to offend any one....well that I can recall.

Anyway I have been in contact with my local Mosque, and I am not the only sister to come under attack.....they are giving me support which I appreciate.  I have two teenage daughters who are non-muslim, and I fear for them more, because I can't help but wonder what will I wake up to tomorrow.

Sorry about the dull introduction....but it only happened this morning and I think I am still numbed by it all.

I know I will learn a lot from this forum all the same, because despite this little hiccup, I still wish to be a Muslim and a good one at that.

Thank you all

Halima

Dear sister Halima,

When i read that your neighbors threw out something in front of your back door, i remembred our Prophet (s.a.w)... His neighbor as well were throwing out such bad things to his door and to his way... And one day he (s.a.w) couldn't see these things that his neighbor had always thrown out the way.. So He (saw) went to see his neighbor to see if she is sick or what.. He (s.a.w) had wondred about his neighbor! Then, after she had seen the care of our prophet she accepted Islam elhamdulillah..

So sister,you are face to face with our prophet's (s.a.w) sunnah inshallah. I hope you will be a good neighbor to your neighbors and inshaallah they will understand that they were wrong about you.

PS: Sorry about english;)

Asslamualaikum

AllahuAkbar

 Asalamu Alaykum Sister Halima

 Muslims all around the world are being attacked for no crimes that they have committed except using logics and believing Allah as the only God,Muhammad as his last messenger and for following his great sunnah which they wish that their role models have but didn't. Sister I feel for you and anyone who is in any crisis in which they have done nothing wrong. Keep your head up high no matter what they try to throw at you. Remember to be patient because Allah loves patients and the Exalted will give you your justice on the Great Day of Recompense when we Muslims will be happy and the Kuffars tormented.
