Q: Few months ago until now I try to change myself to be a better person. I’m really happy because I learned more about Islam which I never knew before. But it really made me sad when my friends abandoned me. They left me behind and they made me feel like I’m a stranger to them. I’m really sad because they never asked me to hang out with them. I get to know about it when I see their whataapp messages and so on. It makes me feel that I’m totally zero after I try to change myself because all my friends left me. So I don’t know how to share my feelings to people. What should I do? Can you give me some encouragement on how to always be steadfast on Islam.
A: I suggest that you join the tableegh jamaat. Maybe Allah Ta`ala will grant you a better set of friends.
And Allah Ta’ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
