Have you ever felt this way?



I have been experiencing some Iman growth lately ( Alhamdulilah) I don't know if you have read some of my previous post and the Iman was not so high. But I have had some pretty major changes occur in my life in the last 3 months that have resulted in me being in a completely different environment. In this new environment I have really been able to learn about this religion and following the sunnah of our Prophet (sallalahu alayhi wa sallam) and I have really been learning a lot about Tawheed. But I feel like the more, I learn and the more my Iman grows, the more I feel distance from my non Muslim family and friends. I talked to a really close friend about these feeling a few weeks ago and she says she feels the same way.



So a childhood friend of mine has invited me to her babies baptism, I really don't want to go. I don't want to stand there IN A CHURCH no doubt and watch her baby be baptised. Not that I don't think she should have it done, If that is her believe than fine. But it is not mine. I don't want to hurt her feelings but I want to be true to my own feeling and beliefs. More and more I am feeling that it is more important to please Allah, than my friends. So what happens now?
