It feels as though islam is almost blocking me from entering
Good day everyone! I just wanted to bring up some things that I have personally felt from my own experiences that whenever I attempt to discuss Islam, genuinely research it, it always get pushed back. I don’t mean to sound rude or insensitive, I just thought I would share my experience.
Whether it was attending a mosque (which I had a meeting set up with an imam) or asking questions here, Reddit, genuine revert websites. It always seems that one of three things occur.
I get ignored, totally understandable
The conversation is quick and leads to me being ignored
People try to somehow debate me out of it
Im not sure if I’ve ever truly felt connected when I have asked someone about Islam, or cared for? I suppose? Like they value my questions. And most of the time it hurts because my intentions are genuine and my heart is open, however it seems that I am constantly shut down. Would anyone be willing to talk to me about this? About how I feel about my journey, willing to debate maybe? I just want someone to value what I’m saying because I know I sure value it. Please let me know as if people continue to shut me out, maybe it’s a sign that Islam is not for me.
