New Muslim sister

assalaamu aleykum

I am a Muslim convert and would like to share my learning process with other Muslims. I love Islam so much but am very saddened at the way Islam is perceived by non Muslims and how this is encouraged by the behaviour of some Muslims.

I came to Islam when I travelled to the Middle East to try to understand Islamic terrorism and what this 'awful' violent book, the Quran, said. Of course I found the truth of Islam and decided very quickly my heart had always been Muslim. After I converted I moved to Egypt and am now happily married to a good Muslim brother - alhamdolillah.

I look forward to sharing thoughts with you.

Thanks to everyone for your warm welcomes. I am not sure if I am happy to have been introduced to this forum, there is so much wonderful infomation that I fear I will never get any work done or sleep again.

I love living in Egypt, although it would not be to everyones taste and living under martial law is very worrying at times. I live in a small farming town, rather than a tourist area, so I don't have to worry about half naked drunks causing trouble. Am in the UK with my family at the moment but I miss Egypt to much, the sounds particularly (not so much the food it is so spicy, so my tummy is having a holiday).

The people are amazingly friendly, warm and welcoming. The one thing that struck me when I first went was their sense of community, I saw a young man fall of his bicycle and spill his basket of bread in the road. Everything just stopped, the cars didn't try to go around him they just stopped in the middle of the main street and about 20 men ran to check the boy was ok, pick up his bicycle and bread and get him back on his way. Can you imagine that happening here?

Of course there are downsides, no broadband, intermitent electricity and water, cultural issues like female circumcision and strangers think they have the right to shout at you in the street because your hijab isn't to their liking.

If you do one day decide to live somewhere in the Middle East please go there for at least a month first and don't look at it with a tourists eyes, consider the downsides and if the good aspects outweigh them. I would never want to come back and live in the UK again but as I say it is not for everyone.

Oops, I forget all women are meant to claim to be 21. Oh no I am not sure I could cope with being 21 again, could I be 33 again instead it was a good age?

Wa alaykum salam wa Rahmatullahi wa barakatuh,

Welcome to the website sister. :) I hope you will feel at home here. We are all one family here, alhamdulillah.

Thanks for sharing your story it is interesting. I hope that more people can see how beautiful Islam is and how Muslim people really are.

May Allah help us all and give us knowledge. May Allah make us those of his slaves who are under the shade of His throne on Day of judgement, and grant us and our families into Paradise. Ameen.

Welcome to TTI sister

nice story that you had ... would it be possible for you to elaborate about it at some point ? ... in your time of course

BTW, "Masri" means "male egyptian" in the Egyptian dialect ... but you maybe know that any way ;)
