You do not have to be the best of friends with every Muslim you see, even if they be pious. Muslims differ in their education and practice of Islam. Among them are saints and criminals, homeless , You will learn many things which Islam preaches, but you will see fellow Muslims doing the opposite. All Muslims are not the same.

Some, with financial problems, expect immediate monetary help from the Muslim community, a demand usually difficult to meet. It is a good idea to find a family that will “adopt” the new Muslim and help them grow and develop social bonds. Try to involve yourself in various social activities, and invite others over. In social gatherings, If you are asked an inappropriate question, just say you don’t feel comfortable discussing it.

Third , many times you will be given advice on matters of Islamic belief and practice, whether that advice be Islamicly correct or incorrect.. You should realize that every Muslim is not an expert on Islamic Law . Being an Arab does not automatically qualify a person to interpret the Quran. Many Muslim practices over time have been influenced by culture, and many times they actually conflict with the true tenets of the religion.With time and some knowledge, you will be able to distinguish between the two. All beliefs and practices in Islam must be taken from the Quran or a confirmed Sunnah of the Prophet, may the mercy and blessings of Allah be upon him. Also, try to get some well known websites and reputable people of knowledge as a reference. Reading, interaction, and prayer will help you learn and mature. In short, be cautious of those with good intentions but little knowledge.
