Salâm aleikum and hi everybody,
Am all new here and confused in more ways than one - the site seems too "complicated" still, and I'm sort of torn between Islam and Christianity. I'm new to Islam although as a non-Muslim I did know things about this religion and all, but it's different when you actually are to start practising!!
I'm German from Turkey, was born in Turkey and even have a Turkish first name. Being born, that was back in April 1966 in izmir. I used to live in the izmir area as child as my father and later also my mum were working there. My father also grew up in Turkey as his father fled to Turkey from the Nazis in Germany when my father was just a toddler and the family stayed there for at least 15 years.
I'm used to having international people around me and also Muslims. I think because of Turkey I have also been drawn to Islam for as long as I can remember. The sound of Azan has always been the most beuatiful sound to me!! I now have it on my Tablet aka my mini computer as well as the Koran/Quran etc.An
Anyway I now live in Finland, am married to a Belgian with two children and three cats. I have studied Christian theology btw, among other things. I'm now also a student at the Uni of Helsinki, because I have a lot of health problems it's only part-time. I have many hobbies and interests, like and love lots. . .
I now don't really have any Muslim.friends here now. I just emailed a lady who is a friend of a friend just saying I'm very interested in Islam to start with... Inshallah she'll answer or sth.
I would be glad if I could get new friends here too, and part of you are Muslim lol!!!
Peace, blessings & prayers,
nur aka inci (the latter is pronounced in-djee)
