New Muslim feeling like a failure
Question
I am a new revert and my family doesn't know. They would completely disown me or hurt me if they knew. I sometimes struggle with doing prayer because they are there and lately I am also taking care of my sick father and cannot always do wudu or find the qibla at the hospital for prayer. What do I do? I feel like I'm failing.
Answer
Don't ever think that you are a failure. Every effort made to remain on the tuth for the deen of Allah Ta`ala is a blessing and a step in the right direction; a step to prosperity and progress.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.

Fatawa SA is an independent, read-only index of fatawa already published by Mufti Online — Madrasah Ta'leemuddeen. It is not a fatwa service. For your own situation, ask the issuing Darul Ifta directly.
