<sub>Salamu alaykum,

When people always stare at you... both muslims and non muslims..
When you pronounce Arabic words and letters better then some Arabs and born and raised muslims
When your muslim name is similar to your old non muslim name, just Islamfied...
When people keep on calling you by your old non muslim name...
When shop keepers etc talk to you really slowly like you don't know English... then the shock and awe when they realise that you speak it better then they do.
When muslims forget that you are a white person, and that you didn't convert your race, just your religion, so they start making racist jokes and comments and forget you are there, and will be offended...
When people constantly stare at you with a puzzled look, clearly tryng to work out your ethnic background...Just Ask for god's sake!
When you eat a lot of middle eastern and south asian food...
When you mix arabic and english together, and sometimes forget the english equivalent for words...
When people patronise you with basic knowlege of Islam, that alhamdulillah you already know...
When people say'you should learn urdu!'</sub>
When after years of being muslim, a friend asks you whether you know all the names of the A'imma and where they are buried... in front of a whole bunch of other family and friends, to embarrass you
When people assume that as a female revert, you have to act and dress like a mujtahid's wife to be properly religious... so annoying!
When you worry about whether your family will respect your right to a muslim/shia funeral or indeed a muslim/shia nikkah ceremony and wedding..
When you have to negotiate your family either being considered najis, or the fact they have a najis dog, or they insist on alcohol at every meal and occasion, haram and najis food drink and how it contaminates plates and cutlery...
When parents and family refuse to eat halal meat, because it's cruel to animals...
When choosing a name for your children, you worry about whether at least one of their grandparents will take the micky, or pronounce it terribly!


There are many more, but this is just a few... lol... of my suggestions!

Salams and duas!

[AlwaysChangingHisUserName]

When you try to talk to an Arab and they don't understand you because the brothers at the mosque have been teaching you urdu instead of Arabic and you didn't know.

When born Muslims don't return the salaams because they don't think a white person is a true muslim (this was mostly Sunnis - shia are much better, well except for the one girl that insisted over and over that I wasn't a muslim . . . )

If you go to the Middle East (Persian Gulf/Saudi) you may find Urdu more widely spoken

For women:
When you go to the shops and you return with a good excuse for buying clothes in a larger size (not tight fitting clothes)

When you have post-it notes all around the house of duas (eg at the doors entering house, bathroom, beside bed for when waking up, sleeping, on wardrobe for when dressing etc)

When shopping takes you twice as long because your checking all items for the ingredients and for the halal symbol.

When you start to sound like one of those kids that always replies to the end of a conversation with "but why"?

When you have two calendars on your fridge door

Before leaving your friends house when looking for your lost keys, wallet, phone your also looking for your hijab and pins

When you don’t get to drink as much tea with milk as you used to as most people serve their tea black.

[colinPmuhammad]

when you go to work, wearing a kufi and your coworkers call you Malcom X

God doesn't burn anyone.  Anyone in the fire, burns themselves.
