Dopn't worry sister. Joining Islam dosen't mean dropping what you love most right away. take small steps. Maybe you could do ballet in an only womens group. You could also try to wear more covering while ur posing (model) maybe u could do a model for hijab! :lol:
Hey everyone.
I'm relatively new to this Turn To Islam, I have already introduced myself, and have been reading up on recent posts.
I am enjoying this site very much - it is very informative.
As you may or may not know, I am not Muslim. I am born Catholic, but not practicing because I do not agree with everything my religion stands for.
I study religion at my University, and have always been very interested in all religions of the world. Currently I have been putting much thought into the religion of Islam. I do agree with many parts and aspects of it, yet some I do not (which of course is normal for me )
I have been considering saying my shahadah. I have been back and forth on the subject and idea of going through with it. Mostly because I have been confused about certain things, mainly one being my profession and talents.
I am a ballet student, have been all my life. Ballet has been a huge part of my life and I have worked very hard to get to the level and profession that I am at right now. Of course, considering my level, I do have to work with male partners. I also am a model, which I have learned is not widely accepted in Islam.
I guess my question is, if I do decide to become a Muslim...say my shahadah...would I be compelled to drop these two things that I hold so dear to my heart?
Opinions would be greatly appreciated
Thanks
