>> Speaking as a convert to Islam, this period of time is often times very hard. You are not exactly fullally embraced by the Muslim community and the blindness community.  This group is trying to change these attitudes with in the NFB. Most converts face the added hardship from their own  families too.  So believe me I know where you are coming from. I welcome you to Islam and to this group. We also have a whats up group, can some add her to the group?

>> Asalamu Alaikum to all.I am writing to you all to seek help. masha Allah, i reverted or converted to this beautiful religion on February 26th of this year after much extensive research and asking questions of a few Muslims on certain details in regards to facts verses myths. With all that being said, are their any reverts in Georgia where I currently reside until graduation from college Insha Allah in December, Maryland, or Virginia the two states I plan to seek employment after graduation? I would prefer sisters to start in case I have to stay with them not only to get to connect with them in general, but when I finally come out about my reversion, my family will react very negatively towards me, and I need to have a secure place to stay until my family situation calms down a bit. I am so grateful for this list of people and the community all around. Thank you all for the much needed support, and I hope to hear from you soon.
