I am a newly reverted Muslim as well. I can tell you that this is very difficult for me. I reverted just about two weeks ago. I had no intent on telling my family (my 86 year old grandmother), but after constant insistence on knowing where I was going and what i was doing (when I was going to Masjid), I broke down and told her. Life is not all that great right now. I'm 31 years old and moved in with her several months ago to help care for her if she needed it.

Needless to say her health is perfect and she takes this as a slight to her and the rest of our family, as she, and I, were raised Catholic in Christianity. So you are in my prayers, and I understand your situation

From birth my life has been blessed but I don't know why.

During my days of Jahiliya I was not a very nice person, in fact looking back I believe my life to have been dictated by satan. I think I was a real SOB.

Making dua to Allah Subhana Wa Ta'la means different things to different people. For some, for example, when they make a dua they EXPECT a case full of million dollars in their front door step. For others, a meal once a day will suffice and yet for others it is an expectation that Allah Subhana Wa Ta'ala forgives their sins and have mercy on their souls and grant them Jannah in the Hereafter.

I don't speak much to them..because first of all i feel like am betraying them. And secondly i started talking to them but now i can no longer bear the things they talk about like music, various gods, they don't want to listen to me and i don't like listening to them..as affects my emaan also and also they often bring forth the topic of marriage.. I don't want to marry now and i don't have job yet..for that am constantly making dua. I want to do Alima course in Qur'an :) i really do..

Tureen welcome! Is there a reason you don't speak much to them?

I don't know if what I am going to advise makes sense to you but I will try to do my best In Shaa Allah.
 
First of all you became a Muslim because Allah Subhana Wa Ta'ala guided you to His religion, the only religion that He recognises. So you should always be grateful for this and should always thank Him for this privilege.
 
Secondly, I want to state here that all those people who hide their religion, living their lives wlaking on tip-toes will have a burden on their mind and in their heart. It is always best to revela to the world that you are a Muslim and proud f it. ( If I could I would stand on a roof top and shout out to the whole world).
 
Of course I understand the difficulties that goes with being a convert/revert. This is not easy when your family, friends and coleagues/students are all against you and Islam.
 
In my own experience it was difficult for the first two weeks or so then once when everyone you know realise that this is for real they will eventually accept it. The jokes on your behalf and the verbal abuse will be hard but they will go away in time and one will find peace In Shaa Allah.
 
With regards to dus's there is a book called "Fortress of the Muslim - Invocations from the Qur'an and Sunnah" published by Darussalaam publications and if you can get hold of one then it will be a great help to you In Shaa Allah.
 
By the way, my life has been a blessing ever since I became a Muslim, in so many ways it is so unbelievable. I also believe that I am better human being than the one I used to be although I still have a long way to go and I need to improve all the time.
 
So be proud of being a Muslim because it was Prophet Abraham (Alayhi Salaam) named the followers of Allah Subhana Wa Ta'ala as Muslims.
 
Islam is the only religion acceptable to God Almighty and we need to practice in the best possible way that is pleasing to our Creator, Lord, Sustainer, the One Who is Praiseworthy Allah Subhana Wa Ta'ala Lord of of the Worlds.
