Salam everyone...wow so this is MENA huh? everyones all like MENA this and that in the IR1/cr1 forums and im like, what the heck is that? anyway i am married to a muslim man but i am not muslim..."yet". i love my husband very much and one of the things i love about him is how good of a person he is and he says because of islam. you see i was a very bad girl before i met him, had a very troublesome past...rebellious, flunking, partying, you name it. and when i met him i told myself it would almost be too good to be true to keep this man in my life because he so "pure" and i was "dirty". but he loved me, and i thank everyday for his love and patience. he does not force me to convert but it comes up alot. i plan to visit him in the next 2 -3 months and he said, it would be nice if i converted when i see him again. i dont eat pork anymore too...maybe because everytime i was with him for the 4 years we have been together i felt really disrespectful if i ordered anything that had pork in it that when i was not eating with him, i still felt disrespect when i eat pork.

i want to convert...for a long time i have wanted to. i am just finding it in my heart for the right time. i mean i have grown up catholic for 25 years and its not so eays forgetting jesus, am i right? i say to my husband everyday, "i just have to feel that thunder strike my heart then i will convert...GOD has to make me totally feel it so i know this is really for me too..."

and when i do become muslim i want to become a good muslim, do my prayers, give to charity and most of all be respectful and contnue to live a dignified life...

It is always refreshing to cleanse yourself and realize yourself and your way so that you may become the best human being you can and live in peace.

and when i met him i told myself it would almost be too good to be true to keep this man in my life because he so "pure" and i was "dirty".

This kind of thinking....I dont accept it. Just because you lived a certain way in the past does not necessarily make you a "bad" person.

I too made my mistakes and maybe I wasnt living as good as I could have, but that change comes from within not because someone makes you change or badgers you into thinking you are no good compared to them.

I would say definitely take your research and commitment seriously. you should embrace his culture and religion but it doesnt mean you have to convert unless that is whole heartedly what you want to do.

I hear alot about being clean and white too from my husband.

I dont doubt that we should live the way GOD teaches us and strive to be the best we can be but I dont at all feel any less of a person just because of my past or because I believe in Jesus Christ.

Good luck on your journey and remember not to lose yourself the midst of this life change.

you know what ladies...after going back a couple and reading you talk about the head dress. I see that alot of you have converted and wear them.

I myself dont want to covert or wear this. I find it strange that my husband doesnt require me to either.

I dont know... I feel to each his own thing and although I will embrace it, learn about it and respect others' ways about it I dont feel it is my thing.

I just have always taken bits and pieces of what I have learned and made it my own. Nothing for me is black and white.

I still cant believe that my husband is Muslim and I am not and well, I guess I dont feel like a Muslim wife, I mean sure I have learned and willing changed aspects of my life that needed it but I dont pray and dress the part.

If you're not a muslim, then there's no need to be a muslim wife. If your husband didn't marry a muslim, then he has no business requiring you to adhere to something that isn't part of your belief structure if you didn't agree upon it before marriage. Simple as that.

Aww, so cute. I need this one in an adult size. The world needs more muslim heroes fans, especially now that Justin Tolchuck of Aliens in America is Syler's sidekick.

exactly. this seems to be a pretty common misconception in this forum though.

I agree. Nobody is truly "pure". We are all human after all and continue to make mistakes. What's important is that we learn from our mistakes. I don't like a self righteous attitude. That's not a good way to get somebody to embrace your religion, but you see it all the time from every faith.

I like the shirt that said I broke my wudu!!!

I love the shirt that said - "Don't delay, call Allah today!"

[Nothing1234 2]

I know! There are so really cute shirts on there!

I love the educational section and the Arabic letters/numbers in the rubber material! I want to get a few sets with those and our alphabet to do floor in the twins room! I think its so cute. Plus I'm thinking to use it was stencil for the walls and create a colorful cute space for them!
