"Allah Was With Me"Convert Reflects On Parents Missing His Wedding

A video posted by Instagram user Ryan shared that his parents did not attend his wedding after he embraced Islam.

He recalled feeling alone as he walked towards his nikah venue, despite receiving their well wishes over WhatsApp.

Ryan acknowledged that accepting his conversion may not have been easy for his parents.

He felt they might have imagined a different future for their eldest son.

Some netizens encouraged Ryan, reminding him that family acceptance can take time and things may get better.

Others criticised his conversion, with some saying they would not support their own child if they became Muslim.

Ryan encouraged fellow converts to practise sabr, make istighfar and remain respectful towards their families.

Despite his parents' absence, he was surrounded by friends, loved ones, his younger brother and his wife's family. He ended with "Alhamdulillah For Everything"
