New Sister from UK living in Cape Town
Salaam,
Sorry I have taken so long to reply to you.
My journey began many years ago in a small town in the north of england. I wasn't very happy with the typical small town life, influence of alcohol, etc. The society didn't feel very clean, pure or sincere.
I decided one day to leave and so went travelling/backpacking. I went to a number of countries and while in Hollywood, LA I met a man working in a hotel who seemed to portray a life that I would like to live. He gave me a job and after about 1 year we returned to UK and got married. His way of life was pure, clean and sincere and of course alcohol free as he was a muslim. We decided to move to Cape Town South Africa as he is South African and we felt like a change from British life. I began islamic classes, just basics, and felt that this was the true religion and way of life for me.
i had a more practical road to islam.
Hope this is of interest to you. How did you find Islam?
