So now you’re a Muslim. Welcome to Islam! Converting to Islam is not a new thing. Many people convert to Islam. However, not many people, including people who were born into the religion, are aware of the implications of being a Muslim aside some basic beliefs and some ritual actions.  

Our curriculum is full of lessons covering the basics of Islam, its creed, and dos and don’ts. So as you can guess, our goal here isn’t to rehash all of that as you can simply browse and learn on your own at this point.  

What we do want to do though is go over some of things you’ve achieved as a new Muslim as well as the challenges that you will face as a Muslim. In terms of what you have achieved, remember that now you are an ambassador to Islam. That is, you are a representative of the religion. So in this sense, you need to be careful in how you conduct yourself as a Muslim as now people will pay more attention to you.  

That’s the easy part. Being a Muslim will also present itself with new challenges. From our own experience, we’ve seen that the challenges usually revolve around personal and social struggles rather than issues with Islamic creed.  

In our lesson, we look at the following challenges that converts often face: 

1. Loneliness 

1. Despair 

1. Muslims giving Islam a bad name 

Make sure to tune into the full lesson to learn how to deal with these challenges.
