· 2 Jumada I 1438 AH1 min readEnglish

Question

I fear coming to Islam in America and I feel like I wouldn't be accepted by Islam or muslims and because I know the hatred here in America that's directed towards Islam here in America. America has done a lot of destruction to Muslim country's and there people and the media only shows how muslims and Islam hate the west and Americans that's why I'm afraid I wouldn't be accepted.

Answer

In all periods of history, Muslims lived with perseverance and patience. Allah Ta`ala's help is with those who hold onto His way firmly, irrespective of the surroundings and circumstances.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
