Back in July of this year I found i discovered islam,so I read and researched on the subject all I could.After 8 weeks of research and soul searching,I made the decuraltion to become muslim.It is a life style i thought impossible for me to lead but as i learn and become aware of things i should know, iam surprised of how my heart and soul have softerned and my knowlegde has increased in depth, I have found the true religion that iam truly at one with,I am along way still from learning but iam sure allaha is guideing me in all i read and see. As Iam a british woman who has converted to islam I have had the issue of searching my idenitdy to find out who iam and that was a struggle I had to find and accept patiences to understand,now Iam free from searching in my self. I do not question anything no longer because its allaha will. If allaha wants me to do something he will permit it..As a question of my family and friends yes I told them I have converted to islam and they do not like it but as a muslim i give them the patiences and understanding they need I respect their views. I do not treat them any differently but my views have changed. I have studied in islamic law, and now I teach myself arabic so one day i will be able to recite the quar'an in arabic and to recite surah's in arabic for pray. I practise in rakah everyday and read the qua'an always. But i do all step by step because I do not want to rush anything. I do feel I please allaha because I feel his mercy,be sure allaha is the knower of all things i do. Then something happened in my life I met a egyption man who is muslim (again this is allahs will ) and I was very new convert only 3 weeks new in islam, we chat every day about religion and I explain about my new religion he has helped me and advised me on all subjects.we never flirted or talked about anything but religion and how it is a wonderful way of life. over the 4 months we have know each other a love has grown between us because we share the same religion.He is my guide and teacher ...I can say he is the owner of my heart because i feel great respect for him and he respects me because he says i have a high soul for what iam. I do everything here on my own so I do not get any help with the study of islam I feel allaha is only by my side leading me the straight way and I do feel humble iam happy for that. He always tells me to put allaha first and love second ..in fact he has asked me to marry him and i said yes and we kept our love secert for a long time, now i told my family and he has told his family and his family are happy for us and respect his choice of wife.we have spoken about the subject subject on how many egyption guys fall in love with western woman so easly and how western woman love egyptions men because egyption men do know how to really love.I know in fact oft marriage is nothing but a meaningless paper and we have discussed this and we are getting married the formal way so it is reconized by law. so everything is in the open and we both think with clear minds.In fact iam 37 and he is 33 so we both adults so we know what is happening. Thanks for reading and i hope that my post gives other some hope.

As for the relationship with Egyptian man, I believe you should be very careful, learn about Egyptian culture specially in matters related to family and marriage so that you know your obligations and rights well... iT'S BETTER not to take cultural difference lightly because sometimes they are stronger than religion in application for some people...give it a time to learn and May Allah guide you alwayes to the right path

by the way it's "allah" and not "allaha"...aloha?? Islam seems to be a good way for foreign spinsters to find husbands these days..and anwer their "questions" about life. Good. I suppose one way or another it serves a purpose.

Mashaallah. May allah s.w.t. make the path easy for you and grant you steadfastness. Congratulations on your relationship - I would only like to suggest that you proceed with caution. I am sure you "put your religion first and love second" - I hope that your friend also does the same. Regardless - any journey has it's ups and downs and is fraught with trials. May allah s.w.t. grant both of you hapiness and success in both the worlds. Ameen.

bloody hell reading back this post,I truly believed i knew everything..I was only 3 weeks new in islam back then,bloody hell was going to marry a man I never even met,knew nothing of his culture or his way of thinking,never even spoke to him on the telephone..lol...Iam so glad I remained at home.Maybe I was so up my own ass i really didnt know anything i swear..one thing I knew it takes a long time to understand islam it really does..Many muslim men just want a wife..dont really care who they are or where they come from...just want to marry and have a few children..I dont think a muslim man would be happy to marry a non muslim female because it just dont work..they could be happy..everyone is different..but I think it can cause alot of problem within the marriage...I just dont know..I was wise because I waited a long time since after this to study more my relgion and understand what the culture means too.Good luck for everyone.
