When I made my decision to emerge as a practicing Muslimah, I faced much opposition, contempt and ridicule from many of my family members, including my own parents.However I cannot say it dampened my resolve.It just made me more determined to not only remain steadfast in my chosen path, but to also prove to them that my conversion had not in any way made me a lesser person.Rather I was now a better daughter,sister,niece,cousin,etc than what they had known me to be.
Happily today not only have they accepted me,but they also love and trust me today far more than they did in the past.
Change in general is inevitable.But we must strive to make our alterations positive and for our betterment.
