Salaam aleikum brothers and sisters and jumuah mubarak. I converted to Islam a year ago and I noticed that I'm feeling increasingly isolated over the days. For one, I have lost most of my friends due to someone backbiting me, and the only other muslim friend I had tried to prevent my conversion because she thought it was radicalization. I have also noticed that the Ummah divides itself, I noticed the mosque I go to is the "Yemeni" mosque (The imam and others in there have been kind but others think i am a joke). The Arabs treat Islam like an ethnoreligion and others segregate themselves. This is not what Allah wanted for his Universal religion. People online frustrate me too. My best friend is a person that more salafi oriented people would dislike heavily, but he was one of only two of my friends who 100% accepted my conversion. I have had people suggest I abandon him but him being my friend does not impede my religion. I pray 5 times a day and never miss Jumuah, and my point is that people focus on stupid things and not real problems like back biting or segregation of the Ummah or the problems our Syrian brothers are having. I guess my question is why? Why is the ummah self destructive? Keep in mind that I am 100% sure in my faith and I do not regret converting at all, but sometimes I feel this dunya is too difficult, and that humanity wants it to be that way.
