How can one act regarding feelings of loneliness and sadness after committing to the Quran and Sunnah, which has led to the alienation of family and friends and their accusation of "Wahhabism," especially in a small Muslim community like the Maldives?

First: The estrangement you are experiencing is a sign of good, for "Islam began as something strange and will return to being something strange, so blessed are the strangers." This is a call to those who uphold the affairs of Islam, and an alert to the need for estrangement and patience with the hardships of estrangement to support the religion.

Second: Emulate the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, and those who followed him in patience with da'wah (Islamic propagation) and not despairing of repeating it. The slandering and accusations you face are the habit of fools towards the callers to the Sunnah (definition), and they will not harm them.

Third: Select wise women and relatives to convey the religion to them with gentleness, deliberation, and patience. Diversify the means of conveyance between audio, visual, and written.

Fourth: Make your home a starting point for da'wah. Begin with your husband and children. Emulate our mother Khadijah, may Allah be pleased with her, who supported the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, and whose home was the first among homes to embrace Islam.
