Hi All,
As my name would suggest I'm greatly confused at this time, if I could tell you my story I would be greatful & most appreciative of any guidance...
First off, Im a white male from the UK who has not had a religion of any kind since my early teens but as a child I was christened & used to attend church weekly.
Flashforward 10 years or so to this time last year...I met a wonderful asian woman who as well as having one of the kindest hearts Ive ever known, introduced me to Islam & opened my eyes once again to religion, we have been the best of friends for that year & it is now that Ive relised that I have feelings for this woman & want to ask for her hand.
I guess what Im asking from everyone here is what should I do?
Im ready to take Islam into my life fully but I fear that her family will only see it as a gesture so that I can marry their daughter without her being with a non-muslim. As anyone experienced this before? Would the community accept me as a brother even as a revert?
I dont want to hurt anyone, especially the woman I loves family & I couldnt see her community turn there back on her just for me asking the question.
Any advice would be appreciated.
Thankyou.
