Hi,
I'm writing to ask for information and advice. I am considering conversion to Islam, my boyfriend is a Shi'a and we would like to get married and begin a life together. This is somewhat complicated by my heritage as a Christian, current loose faith in God and strong feminist beliefs. Please, if you have and words of wisdom, or books or articles you could recomend I would greatly appreciate it. I am interested in a woman's point of view. thanks in advance Sarah |

salam sister and welcome to the board.
All I can say is that if you have any questions, ask away and I'll try to help you out as much as I can.  reza -------------------- "Only he can forgive who has power to punish!" -Imam Ali (as)

Salamaleykom and welcome,sarahds
I'd be glad to help out,inshallah. I am a woman myself (dont let my name throw you off  ) who found Islam about 7 years ago.I also like you used to be christian,so I kind of understand some of your thoughts regarding this.Anything you need,just ask and Inshallah me or someone else will be able to answer you satisfying If you have something on your mind you feel is private,you could also use the PM,or send me an e-mail on the adress below One Q,what made you concider conversion to Islam? Feemallah --------------------  "A fool's mind is at the mercy of his tongue and a wise man's tongue is under the control of his mind. " "Jihad is divided into four branches: to persuade people to be obedient to Allah; to prohibit them from sin and vice; to struggle (in the cause of Allah) sincerely and firmly on all occasions and to detest the vicious. Whoever persuades people to obey the orders of Allah provides strength to the believers; whoever dissuades them from vices and sins humiliates the unbelievers; whoever struggles on all occasions discharges all his obligations and whoever detests the vicious only for the sake of Allah, then Allah will take revenge on his enemies and will be pleased with Him on the Day of Judgment.

no i don't have to marry him - i want to marry him - i am in love, we are in love and we have tried for two years to get awayfrom that - away from each other and move on with our respective lives - we keep comming back to each other and so we decided to try what we see as the much more difficult road... who knows where that'll get us...
