A Problem

Asalaam Alaikum,

Ca nyou give an example of who invite people to Islam but they leave them before teaching them well about Islam. 

I guess it best to give a concrete example?


I think the issue is actually many Muslims don't actually know their religion.. less so they did not teach things. I think that you find sincere efforts on the part of people but their own lack of knowledge is what it is.  There may be a few people that lead you on, but not many. Most Muslims are sincere, but maybe uneducated or misguided themselves.  Like when I was learning about Islam and went to travel to Pakistan I saw many unislamic things. But I had educated myself and could differentiate.


I also think this is less of an issue then say, helping them to say the Shahada and be done with them.  They go on their way for whatever reason. I think the basic reality is that many reverts are often on their own.

Another issue is most of us women who revert first learn about Islam through Muslim men. Could be we work with them or have contact in some way. We become Muslim and we are told to see the women. And women, I have to say, are VERY, VERY hard to get into the communities with. Most of us are ignored, told we are not real Muslims or other things. At least with the internet we are making more connections. But I tell you.. most us are socially isolated.  It may be cultural. It may be that women are busy with their families.

Most Muslims raised in other societies or in Muslim families do not understand.  I think if Muslims withdrawl, this isolation is part of the issue. Yes we all should be "tough" but we are human creatures.

Peace
