Nervous about going to mosque because of a false rumor
Assalamu alaikum, I've been feeling really anxious about going to the masjid. Someone spread a rumor about me that's completely false, and now I'm scared of what people might think. As a revert, it's even harder because I already feel like I don't fit in. I don't want to stop praying in congregation, but this fear is holding me back. Has anyone else dealt with something like this? What should I do? JazakAllah khair.
