Asalaamu alaykum wa rahmatullahi wa barakathu sisters and brothers,
I reverted to Islam about five years ago, Alhamdulillah but I am having a problem. I reach out and have made many friends with many sisters, gone to retreat camps with the MAS Youth program, and was heavily involved with the masjid that was by my University. Once graduating, I moved back home where there were not many Muslims around, and the masjids by me are not very welcoming I have noticed. Here is my questions, I have tried to stay in touch with all of the sisters that I met, that I considered very good women, one I could be friends with...but I find they all stay in cliques. They are always nice to me, but in the end...they don't reach out, they don't even try to include me in anything. I try not to let it bother me, I pray to ALLAH (SWT) to give me guidance, but it makes me sad. Am I doing something wrong? I am told that I am such a nice person, so caring, etc etc. That is nice and all but I do get depressed that I am alone.
Any suggestions? Anything that maybe could help me more?
JazakAllahu khair to anyone who responds.
Fiamanillah.
