Jazakh Allah khair
 
Assalamalikum brother,
I understand your stress. First of all it is not necessary to keep a beard to be a muslim nor it is necessary to become a non veg. Islam is not about how long your beard is or what you eat. It is what you believe that is there is ONLY ONE GOD AND MUHAMMAD IS THE MESSENGER OF GOD. I feel you need to read a few book on similarities between islam and hinduism. Maybe that will give you idea about what to say to your wife. And May Allah always guide you and protect you.

Salaam,

Mashallah that you have embraced Islam. I hope in time you will have the courage to be open with your wife and may she be understanding and follow your path. May Allah guide her.

Below is a video that was released this week, its about a Muslim convert who was Hindu. In the video she talks about Hindu's worshipping Gods and how easily Hindu people are influenced in believing that animals, statues etc. are Gods.

Unfortunately many people are influenced in the wrong way, lets hope they will guided.

:salam2: how about munir, one with the light of Allah (my son's name is mounir, that is the way they spell it in french but usually in english speaking countries, it is munir). i admire your courage, brother, and may Allah bless you for this. i remember a famous american convert Sheikh Yusuf Estes hid it from his wife when he converted but I think she had already just converted or was on the brink of converting so you may have a very positive reaction from your wife also! let us know how things go and rest assured, Islam is the best path for you :)
:wasalam:

Assalam-o-alikum, My dear brother Manoj,

First of all congratulations on becoming a Muslim. You are on path to Jannah Al-Firdous InshaAllah.

About your name: How about Mohammad Jamal.
You can start calling yourself as MJ up until the time when you can openly tell about your belief.

You were Jain before... by the way I think Jains are not Hindus - are they?
Because Hindus believe in gazzilions of Gods but Jains believe in just one God and they believe that Mahavir (or a similar sounding name) was the prophet of that one God. Am I right?

About your wife. I think you need to slowly tell her about issues in Jainism, and tell them about Islam. Get a DVD of Zakir Naik regarding Hinduism and Islam and show it to your family. This will break some ice.
I assume you have some practicing Muslim friends, start a more close family relationship with them and ask them to come over often and you go there often with family, and ask them (their female family members) to slowly introduce Islam to your wife. With these efforts and with Allah's help InshaAllah she will see the truth and become a pious Muslimah sooner than you think.

I will make dua for you my brother. May Allah protect you and make you successful in this life and the next.

Wassalam.

Salam Alaycoum brother

Congratulation for your conversion brother. I'm really happy for you.

For your situation that you have accepted Islam and you can’t tell your wife because you are afraid that you'll lose her, In my opinion is you have to tell her. Inform her when you feel that she is in a good mood and relaxed. but I suggest before telling her, try to change your normal life to better .let your wife notice this change and let her see how you changed a LOT.

Islam teaches us to be more good mannered, more HYGENIC, more loving for our parents family and every one, more faithful, honest , etc… so in this situation she will obviously notice something has changed so she’ll start having questions in her mind. “what happened to my husband and what changed him to better? What is behind his goodness?” let her feel your change before telling her.

Brother listen:
- If you really love her. then you have to tell her the truth and save her from the Jahiliya she’s in now. you love her ,you want to rescue her. Because not only you want to be with her in this life but in the hereafter also, in paradise Inshallah (Gods willing).

- At the time you tell her, you'll know if she really loves you or not. will she discuss with you about what you tell her? or will she just shout and reject you quickly? Usually if you love a person you will listen to him/her. so it’s like a test for you and her. If she listens to you, you will be able to tell her about Islam. if she accepts Islam that would be great!! She will accept islam and the whole family will INSHALLAH.but if she is just OK with you being Muslim and her without accepting Islam, that would be okay for you, as you will be able to Pray, Fast and do all the Muslim stuff. but if she rejects without any willing to discuss, then know that she doesn’t love you. unfortunately you have to leave her (hope this doesn’t happen and she accepts Islam). Islam is much more important than anything in this life.

Brother you have to know this..It is known that in our religion to leave something for God's sake of Allah is good. Because Allah will offset you with something better.

As for a Muslim name, there are loads of wonderful Muslim male names. Here I got you some with it's translation, listed below.

1.Mahmoud : Praised.
2.Mahdy : Guided to the Right path.
3.Masoud : Happy, lucky.
4.Taymullah : Servant of God.
5.Illiyas : A Prophet’s name.
6.Ayman : Lucky, on the right.
7.Haroon : A Prophet’s name.
8.Najeed : Highland.
9.Munjid : Rescuer
10.Mu’min : Believer

I’ll keep you in my prayers brother as you are really in need of them. May Allah make everything easy for you and always enlighten your path of Islam. Wish you all the best.


Walsalam Alaycom.

:salam2: Munir Islam :) I believe that would be a very nice name, Insha Allah, brother. I hope you find some good support within your area in India and continue to stay in touch with your global Muslim family here on TTI. Half of us have come to Islam in adulthood, like you, so there is lots of support. I will make duaa to Allah that your wife will accept Islam, too, you seem to have a very good relationship and Insha Allah, she will trust your decision.

May Allah bless you, my brother. Really, I say Alhamdulillah, when I hear these stories of people coming to Islam against all odds, Subhan' Allah, Allah truly is The Greatest :)
:wasalam:
