Why do we put reverts on such a high pedestal online?
Assalamu alaikum, I’ve noticed something lately. Whenever a revert from a western or east Asian background starts posting about Islam, their followers blow up instantly. The community showers them with so much love, even if they’re just curious and haven’t fully embraced the faith yet. Alhamdulillah, it’s great to welcome people, but it seems like some might use this trend to gain popularity without truly connecting to the deen. I’m not judging anyone’s sincerity, but why can’t we just treat them like any other brother or sister? Is all this hype just a way to encourage them on their journey, or are we going overboard? JazakAllah khair for your thoughts.
