Somehow I completely missed this subsection of the forum until now.
As-Salum Alaykum my new brothers and sisters in Islam. I am so incredibly happy to be here.
I am a very new sister revert to Islam. I am in the States. It is only I in my immediate family that has accepted the call to Islam. That is proving a challenge. Insha Allah we will find a way. So it's me and the internet, basically. Although I am trying very hard to get to the nearest IC.
I just wanted to introduce myself because I love whyislam.
Thank you all so much for all that you have blessed me with and maybe one day Insha Allah I will be a valued contributor to the forum.
Yolie

Wa alaykum assalam wa rahmatulaah wa barakatuh,

Welcome to the forum sister Yolie, welcome among your Muslim Ummah. Congratulations! Good step done so far.
Btw, Very true what was said by our brother Al Cordoby (Jazakum Allah khairan br.). Indeed, patience is a key with of course trust in Allah's help, to keep the breath for something worthy really to do it, i.e. being Muslim to God the One the Unique Allah the Almighty. Surely, there is/will be a Way for everything coming after by His help and His Mercy, as long as His servant maintains a sincere heart while following the truth.

May Allah protect you sister, keep you firm to His deen and guide your beloved ones to His upright way, ameen

Take good care Yolie.

Assalamualaikum
