Dear sisters/brothers
I have recently converted to Islam - 11 October 2008, a religion I always admire since I came to London in 2001 from Angola, where I was a Catholic christian.
In 2006 I met this muslim girl who always wears scarf, and we started secret intimate relationship, me as christian and her as a muslim. She taught me a lot of good things about Islam, sometimes without even her realizing it, from then I started really thinking about converting.
Her parents found out about it a year a go but we still kept the relationship and I decided to go and meet her mum to propose by telling the mum that I was a muslim when in fact a was not. The mum promised to call me and she never did but we continued going out. Two weeks a go we had a problem because her father took away her phone because he realised that we were talking on the phone, we spent about 4 days without talking, after sending her several emails without reply, I was worried that she may have been hurt by her parents so I decided to go to her mum again to talk to her about the proposel and she said she would talk to her and get back to me. Day after that I called the girls number the mum pick up and was upset and told me not to call again.
After realising what we were doing was haram, I felt guilty and wanted for Allah's forgiviness, and thought this was the right time to convert, therefore I went to Mosque and converted to Islam. without the girl knowing.
Now that I am indeed a muslim, I would like to ask her for a marriage, the problem is that her mum is so unhappy about me and asked the girl not to talk to me at all and I can not go to her mum again.
Please, please brothers and sisters what should I do?
