Welcome sister
Mabrook on your conversion. I, too, became muslim about 7 years ago. I am an American muslim sister. Did you marry a muslim brother and thats how you started learning about it? I married a brother about 22 years ago but just recently found that I was ready to accept Islam. Alhumduillah. What I knew back then, was just minimal, but it all made sense to me. I just wasnt ready to accept it. My husband always said he hoped I would become muslim before I die. I did. I always tell the story how my nonmuslim mother suggested I go to the mosque and see what they were teaching our son as he had started going to the weekend Islamic school when he was about 7. No problem for me. So, I did. She thought I would take him out. lol. Nope. I started meeting sisters, going to halequahs, reading about Islam, searching the internet, etc. I embraced Islam when I was almost 40. alhumduillah. Cant imagine being anything but now. Alhumduillah. I work outside the home in a dept store, Macys and also teach preschool in the weekend Islamic school. I wear hijab working at Macys too.
keep in touch and you can always send me private messages as well here.
Your sister in Islam,
jamie
