Assalamoalaikum brother it is having a very soothing effect that u had accepted the truth alhamdolillah,it is no doubt a problem if your children are going to move away from you on this matter,there are solutions which would be effective inshaAllah,u may encourage them to read various religious scriptures including holy quran,the religious scriptures like vedas,upanishad,puran,budhdhist scriptures,parsi scriptures,bible,torah and rest they all prophesize about the advent of the holy prophet,till this day none of the ayats of the holy quran have been proved wrong by the science,quran tells about the stages of embroys,presence of both the sexes in plants and things which we dont know till now,this may be a slow process but inshaAllah it would bear result,secondaly every individual is separately accountable of ones own deeds,in the initial days dont take a big burden on yourself,for instance the night prayers (tarabi) are nafil (not obligatory),slowly and gradually you would be able to adjust yourself easily in this truth,do u know that those who revert to this truth(islam)they have reward of 5 times more in comparison to muslims who are born in muslim families,in every matter,including 5 times bigger paradise,do pray to Allah to guide your family towards the right faith,and work in that direction through the ways mentioned above,do make them watch the debates of zakir naik with other religions and on speeches on other religions..my id on orkut is with the name "chaudhary irfan raza khan"you may add me and my videos, i have many videos,my e mail id is irfan_attorney*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!,whenever you want any help from me which is your right u may inform me,i am from india itself.AllahHafiz...

[spring_of_mine]

Maşalllah,,
firstly,I congratulate you to make this decision and don't hesitate.you are best and right way and you can explain yourself to your family in due course. All in good time,,
one day maybe they will become muslim thanks to you,, becoming Muslim is very good thing there is nothing to hide it :)
I think,you tell the truth in a short time .. otherwise, maybe it will disturb you and you can't focuse on anything.
again welcome to Islam :shake:

:ma: :ma: :ma: :ma:

[mymohsin]

Salamalaykum,

Allah hu Akbar Allah hu Akbar masha Allah very very glad to hear about u brother please please accept my heartly welcoming greeting to Islam and welcome to TTI. If u in India then yeah i know its really hard :( may Allah help u and make things easy for u and accpt all ur deeds. Ameen. Brother pls remember me in ur duwas pls my request to u as u just revert to islam u as like a new born babe without sins and may Allah keep u safe. Ameen.

Please feel free to ask any thing if u have any question as it will increase our knowledge also insha Allah and all brothers and sisters here will help and guide u in the light of Quran and sunnah. Brother again pls remember me in ur duwas.

Allah hafiz.

[ed209]

Very good,bro. u did what i did last year. Comparied with the term "convert",i prefer the term "returner". yeah,we just return to the true path that we should keep after we were born. So plz always be proud to be a muslim,when u bow down,prostrate and say "Allahu Akbar", u will find that ur really grasping the truth. :salam2:

[mkj-india]

Salam malikum,

Thanks to all of you, I am happy to hear from you all. I am proud. I really need your support. Thanks.....again...

But the only problem that I cant tell my wife at all, she will never accept me and if I tell, she will either leave me or even suicide as she is deadly hindu jain and I never want to loose her as I have committed to live with her for life and I love her. My kids are also small. I am just 35 now.

So I have to live double roles - me as islam and my wife as hindu for some time or years till I manage or become strong or find ways in future. I know its a sin but I also know that Allah will forgive me as something is better then nothing - as I am atleast Muslim now which is better then previous. I will not get 100 marks but yes Allah will give me some marks....Please help and give your comments which will support me....

Thanks again

Welcome to Islam Brother..

[user expired!]

:salam2:

welcome to Islam brother, i think you should get in contact with a local Imam or even brother Zakir Naik if possible.

[lily_mawar]

Assalammualaikum Bro,

Welcome to the ummah. May Allah bless you and guide you to the right path. I agreed with forumer user_expired. You should contact Brother Zakir Naik to get some advised on your situation with your family. My doa for you, may Allah ease your problem.

[TheHumbleWun]

Asalaam'alikum brother,

Welcome. You've entered a global Muslim site. Inshallah you'll find this place resourceful and rewarding.

You're in a tough predicament. Perhaps slowly showing videos (i.e. The Message) of Islam to your wife will help or slowly talking about it, say once a week. This will help you understand her reaction a little more. Many reverts face these challenges, read their stories here on TTI and they'll provide you with solutions that might be beneficial to your circumstance.

May Allah ease your situation and help you overcome this test. Ameen.

[Zaynab123]

Asalamu alaykum warahmatulahi wabarakatuh

Allahu Akbar, Allahu Akbar, Allahu Akbar

you seem that you are not in good situation but insha Allah(god willing) it will all be changed by Almighty Allah. just be patient and take it step by step. you don't need to push yourself so hard. hope they understand u and follow u and be good family to you. :SMILY206: to ISLAM & TTI hope u enjoy ur stay here.
may Allah subhana wata'ala ease ur hardships amiin......:)

Happy to hear the good news that Allah has chosen u to open ur heart to 'islam'. Alhamdulilla..... don't worry brother. You hav reachd a very high position which is a great 'reward' frm Allah.Rest of the matters r lighter compared to this acievement. Always seek Allah's help to overcome all those minor difficulties... Surely Allah wl help u to pass all the hardships.. but u hav to be patient.. Allah wl surely test yuor 'eeman'. you convince her that u r a very good husband and a father as before.... in ur coming life..If u r pious and be [patient to what Allah decides fr u.... surely u will 'win'...no doubt. She wl be attracted to ur new 'way of life'. In the beginning there may be some problems... but as time goes on... everything wl be alright. don't try to convince her in a 'haste'. Give ample time to her to understand u and ur new ways. whn she realises the fact that u hav reverted to ur original natural religion... she wl surely accept it. May Allah bless u to teach them the truth and u the leader of a good muslim family. Include me and my family also ..in ur prayers

Your words are really good for my foward path...

The only problem is that I need to become strong and complete MUSLIM in few months, I need learn islam nicely and practice....I am vegetarian now, but now will see to try non-veg also as per Islam and keep beard etc.. and pray daily..I am not fasting now for ramadan as I have not told my wife yet about my conversion but will surely see one day or good time soon to tell her but before that indirectly tell her about islam. Till then I have to accompany her to hindu festival and visit temples also. But I am afraid whether she will accept me at all.

Can I leave my kids as hindu - will it do? As they are already born in hindu and do want to put my decision to them asd now they are unware....

[tarannumsamir]

CONGRATULATIONS ON UR REVERSION.
every human being is born a muslim.

allah is great.

:salam2:

Dear brother, I think that you just contact him in Mumbai and he can guide you to someone in Kolkata. And i am sure you will be welcomed by him the same way you are welcomed here.

[PARVEZ SHAHIDI]

salam2:
Alhamdulilah, please remember that Allah SWT will be testing you again and again and satan(devil) will not give up on you so easily. Today is the 1st day of Ramadan(2008) here,and I pray to Allah SWT that He makes the tests easy for you, and you be able to defeat satan in every battle you fight with him.
Brother what you are facing is a big test form Allah SWT. My humble suggestion would be to make two raka noafel(nofol) salah(namaz) and then raise your hand to Allah SWT and seek help from Him and have patience. It never fails me and it will not fail you Insha-Allah. You will see that slowly every thing falling into place the way you want it. I strongly believe that for some reason you have acquired enormous amount of mercy from Allah SWT and He has guided you in His path, because in The Noble Quran He said again and again that He only guides those whom He wish. In the mean time be good to your family, do not get angry any time, because satan wants you to do so, and your wife will notice profound changes in you I am sure she will like it. I shall keep you in my mind and pray for you so that Allah SWT makes everything easy for you. And I would request you to pray for me because when you pronounced SAHADA(La-Ilaha------) your past sins were wiped out but past good deeds were kept, not only that your past bad deeds were turned into good deeds and were written in your book which you will get in your hand on the Day Of Judgement and you will be very happy(it will be very tuogh day for every body except for few), and there is big chance that your prayer will be answered quickly.
I have written a lot of things, may Allah SWT forgive me if I have written some thing wrong. Ameen.

welcome. and asalamu alaykum. dear brother you are the father, the leader of the family, the maintainer and protector of the family. they're young and they will listen to you since you are their father. you can tell them about islam and raise them as muslims. this is absolutely necessary. you are the father and you are responsible for them and on the day of judgement you will be asked about them. so if it is possible help them to become muslims, as they already are since they are young kids. but they need to know that they are muslims. as for your wife, good luck. i'm thinking it will be very difficult since hindus really hate muslims, or at least most do. anyways asalamu alaykum and the best of hopes.

Brother, Nice to know that you have reverted. Just one clarification - You do not have to be non-vegetarian to be a muslim :-)) You can continue to be a vegetarian and practise Islam.

I have been to Kolkatta on number of occassions and I know that it has significant muslim population (in my estimate over 50%) and you may like to either befriend some muslims or visit a mosque for more specific answers to your questions.

All the best and may Allah help you with your struggle - Ameen

[Living Soul]

:salam2: brother

All praise to Allah SWT who opened up your heart to enter into Deenul-Haq. I congratulate you on it. You seems very committed and strong in faith Alhamdolillah. You dont need to tell your wife or others who may cauz problem for you as you are just reverted but change yourself according to Islam and present your wife an example of a true muslim husband, deal her more gently and ignore her faults for a certain period of time till you are on safe side to explain things to her. When you reach that point of time then tell her that you have been good to her because Islam teaches to be just to the wives and respect them, give them their due rights as explained in Quran and Sunnah. It may happen that she understand Islam after looking it practically done by you. If still she remains reluctant then may Allah help you to decide what is better for you.( Ameen)

I hope my advice will be helpfull to you.:hijabi:

Remember me in your prayers and have good Ramadan...:salah:

[Givn]

Alla Akbur
salamu alykom welcom brother in islam and happy ramadan
hope all your problems will solve insha allah

[abdex_z]

well come dear brother! don't worry,you'll tell them step by step.what you have to do isfor example bring islamic da'awa vidios such as Dr.zakir naiks or take them to daawa places, then start talking and comparing , take their idea then gradually tell them that you found it islam is the correct... insha allah if allah wish they'll accept u ,b/s it is allah only that can give or take HIDAYA.

[hazalkmr]

Dear brother , first of all i congratulate you for accepting the religion of truth with humility.Its indeed one of the best things that you have got in life now.Regarding your family you will have to show respect to them but at the same time you will have to gather the courage to disclose this to your family. after all you may otherwise not able to practice islam at free will.Now you don't need to just go to them and break this news. i would suggest you use the same method what you used for urself to get convinced that islam is the true religion.Don't be afraid and allah will be with you after all you have accepted submission before him. he will definitly guide you.In the begining Try and give them some reasoning about how you think about islam without telling them that you have converted. Take their opinion and try and answer them. you may not be knowing the answer but you can always use net and this forum , also you can ask muslims around you.

Inshaallah you will surely succeed.

May allah shower his blessings on you

[Nooraddyn]

[mkj-india]

Thank thank you so much to all of you...InsaAllah, I am really happy to lots of replies and advices coming for me here which are really helpful for me and making me more strong.

Yes - I need some time to settle myself, come out of past religion completely and become true and strong islam and then talk to my family but the only problem till I tell my wife, I have to accompany her for hindu worship and festivals also for which I think Allah will forgive me as Allah know my problems.

[nori suja'i]

Welcome to tti brother, i wish i could help u by i always need helps too FROM Allah Subhana hwa ta'3la.
i can only make a suggestions but u need to get help from Allah too by du'a & tawaqqal.
try to recite these Ayaat;

Soorah Al-i Imran/Ayaat 31:
in kungtum tooheeboonaAllahfatta bi-3u nee yoohbeeb qumAllah'.

means: if u do love Allah, follow me; Allah will love u
And fogive u yr sins, For Allah is Oft-Forgiving,
Most Merciful.

Soorah Yusuf/Ayaat 4:(Prophet Yusuf alaiheesalam said to his father)
"Innee ro'aitoo aahadaa 3eesharaa kao kabaw wash
shamsa
wal qomaraa ra'aitoohoom lee saajeedeen".
means:" i deed see eleven stars and the sun and the
moon; i saw them prostrate themselves to me."


Islam is our way of life.
we only follow the footsteps of what our Prophets and his family practised and tawaqqal to Allah.

[shammyshahoo]

va alaikumussalam va rahmatullahi va barakkatthuhu...

May Allah bless u to attain peace of mind fully...aameen. islam is the way of life and it helps to attain peace by fully surrendering to Almighty Allah. Since he has chosen u ...insha Allah he wl help u br... rely completely on him. Ramadan is the month of seeking mercy, 'repentance and and to pray to him to save us from the torment of fire. the first 10 days r meant for seeking mercy of Allah. hence pray to him in prostration....wth tears... i know that hindus r also taking'fasts' of different types..some take on mondays... your wife may be taking that also. they believe that it is for goodness of husband. so u can fast for few days if u can ...according to ur wife's opinion. so that u can perform the 'fast' on and off.

br... there is no compulsion that inorder to become a good muslim...u should be a non vegetarian... it is ur choice.. if u like veg.. u stick on to it. no problem. and abt the 'beard'. it is a 'sunnah' u can do it later.. that may not be difficult...b'se nowadays people following other religions also grow beard.so don't worry... everything wl be alright gradually. seek Allah's help ,always. did u learn the 5 time prayers? u try to learn abt islam gradually.... then u wl get a strong mind... which wl help u to take crucial decisions..

May Alla guide u to the stright path and help u to remain in it.

Jazakh Allah khair

[qadra-sagal]

Welcome to islam the religion of peace and Ramadhan Mubarak

[Basicofislam]

Assalamalikum brother,
I understand your stress. First of all it is not necessary to keep a beard to be a muslim nor it is necessary to become a non veg. Islam is not about how long your beard is or what you eat. It is what you believe that is there is ONLY ONE GOD AND MUHAMMAD IS THE MESSENGER OF GOD. I feel you need to read a few book on similarities between islam and hinduism. Maybe that will give you idea about what to say to your wife. And May Allah always guide you and protect you.

[wiseone]

Salaam,

Mashallah that you have embraced Islam. I hope in time you will have the courage to be open with your wife and may she be understanding and follow your path. May Allah guide her.

Below is a video that was released this week, its about a Muslim convert who was Hindu. In the video she talks about Hindu's worshipping Gods and how easily Hindu people are influenced in believing that animals, statues etc. are Gods.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4l6nFYwYPnc

Unfortunately many people are influenced in the wrong way, lets hope they will guided.

sorry for delay in reply, i was travelling.

salam malikum to all brothers here....

thanks for your support and guidance.

i just wanted to know whether I can be muslim alone but hindu infront of my wife till I convinced her for islam but it could be months or years. I do not want to loose her at all.

Also I am not able to pray for 5 times....

[mkj-india]

My name is manoj jain,,,,can anyone suggest me or help me to get islam name...I just wanted to change it but not official or in family...

[cmelbouzaidi]

:salam2: how about munir, one with the light of Allah (my son's name is mounir, that is the way they spell it in french but usually in english speaking countries, it is munir). i admire your courage, brother, and may Allah bless you for this. i remember a famous american convert Sheikh Yusuf Estes hid it from his wife when he converted but I think she had already just converted or was on the brink of converting so you may have a very positive reaction from your wife also! let us know how things go and rest assured, Islam is the best path for you :)
:wasalam:

[Munawar]

Assalam-o-alikum, My dear brother Manoj,

First of all congratulations on becoming a Muslim. You are on path to Jannah Al-Firdous InshaAllah.

About your name: How about Mohammad Jamal.
You can start calling yourself as MJ up until the time when you can openly tell about your belief.

You were Jain before... by the way I think Jains are not Hindus - are they?
Because Hindus believe in gazzilions of Gods but Jains believe in just one God and they believe that Mahavir (or a similar sounding name) was the prophet of that one God. Am I right?

About your wife. I think you need to slowly tell her about issues in Jainism, and tell them about Islam. Get a DVD of Zakir Naik regarding Hinduism and Islam and show it to your family. This will break some ice.
I assume you have some practicing Muslim friends, start a more close family relationship with them and ask them to come over often and you go there often with family, and ask them (their female family members) to slowly introduce Islam to your wife. With these efforts and with Allah's help InshaAllah she will see the truth and become a pious Muslimah sooner than you think.

I will make dua for you my brother. May Allah protect you and make you successful in this life and the next.

Wassalam.

[muna]

MashaAllah bro, Welcome to ISLAM.."May Allah SW bless you and protect you..

[al-muslimah]

Salam Alaycoum brother

Congratulation for your conversion brother. I'm really happy for you.

For your situation that you have accepted Islam and you can’t tell your wife because you are afraid that you'll lose her, In my opinion is you have to tell her. Inform her when you feel that she is in a good mood and relaxed. but I suggest before telling her, try to change your normal life to better .let your wife notice this change and let her see how you changed a LOT.

Islam teaches us to be more good mannered, more HYGENIC, more loving for our parents family and every one, more faithful, honest , etc… so in this situation she will obviously notice something has changed so she’ll start having questions in her mind. “what happened to my husband and what changed him to better? What is behind his goodness?” let her feel your change before telling her.

Brother listen:
- If you really love her. then you have to tell her the truth and save her from the Jahiliya she’s in now. you love her ,you want to rescue her. Because not only you want to be with her in this life but in the hereafter also, in paradise Inshallah (Gods willing).

- At the time you tell her, you'll know if she really loves you or not. will she discuss with you about what you tell her? or will she just shout and reject you quickly? Usually if you love a person you will listen to him/her. so it’s like a test for you and her. If she listens to you, you will be able to tell her about Islam. if she accepts Islam that would be great!! She will accept islam and the whole family will INSHALLAH.but if she is just OK with you being Muslim and her without accepting Islam, that would be okay for you, as you will be able to Pray, Fast and do all the Muslim stuff. but if she rejects without any willing to discuss, then know that she doesn’t love you. unfortunately you have to leave her (hope this doesn’t happen and she accepts Islam). Islam is much more important than anything in this life.

Brother you have to know this..It is known that in our religion to leave something for God's sake of Allah is good. Because Allah will offset you with something better.

As for a Muslim name, there are loads of wonderful Muslim male names. Here I got you some with it's translation, listed below.

4.Taymullah : Servant of God.
5.Illiyas : A Prophet’s name.
6.Ayman : Lucky, on the right.

First of all congratulations on becoming a Muslim. You are on path to Jannah Al-Firdous InshaAllah.

About your name: How about Mohammad Jamal.
You can start calling yourself as MJ up until the time when you can openly tell about your belief.

THANKS A LOT BROTHER.....

:salam2: Munir Islam :) I believe that would be a very nice name, Insha Allah, brother. I hope you find some good support within your area in India and continue to stay in touch with your global Muslim family here on TTI. Half of us have come to Islam in adulthood, like you, so there is lots of support. I will make duaa to Allah that your wife will accept Islam, too, you seem to have a very good relationship and Insha Allah, she will trust your decision.

May Allah bless you, my brother. Really, I say Alhamdulillah, when I hear these stories of people coming to Islam against all odds, Subhan' Allah, Allah truly is The Greatest :)

You're welcome brother.

Oh yes I didn't mention this. In the noble Quran it says Muslim men are allow to marry women of the books, meaning Muslim men are allowed to marry "Chirstians" and "Jewish women" (They don't have to be both Muslims). So to my knowledge if the woman you are married to is not those two religions,then she can't be your wife.

For your situation is that your wife is neither of those two relgions. So you have to tell her about islam HOPEFULLY she'll accept it and be muslim as she'll continue to be your wife.

As brother cmelbouzaidi said that you and your wife Mashallah seem to have a very good relationship so InshaAllah, she will trust your decision.

Always pray allah that she accepts Islam. All TTI members here who know you will be praying for you and praying for your wife.
- that allah will make it easy fro her when she knows you are a muslim and accepts it.
- that allah will open her eyes to Islam. AMIIN!!

May Allah bless you.

[Idris16]

welcome. and asalamu alaykum. dear brother you are the father, the leader of the family, the maintainer and protector of the family. they're young and they will listen to you since you are their father. you can tell them about islam and raise them as muslims. this is absolutely necessary. you are the father and you are responsible for them and on the day of judgement you will be asked about them. so if it is possible help them to become muslims, as they already are since they are young kids. but they need to know that they are muslims. as for your wife, good luck. i'm thinking it will be very difficult since hindus really hate muslims, or at least most do. anyways asalamu alaykum and the best of hopes.

:salam2:


:mashallah: mkj-india on becoming a muslim.

brother mkj-india. You should read what sister Palestine wrote above. What will happen if you tell your family that you are a muslim? I see that you will be in a trouble if you tell your wife, but isn't it better to learn her about Islam first. May Allaah help you from problems.

AND WITH ALLAH BLESSINGS, SHE MAY ONE DAY TURN TO ISLAM BUT MAY TAKE YEARS.....BUT IF SHE CONTINUE HINDU. I TOO HAVE TO SUPPORT HER AND GO WITH HER IN RELIGIOUS FUNCTIONS....

PLEASE GUIDE ME...

but if she supports me as islam, then i can live as muslim and pray daily
but i have to also support her and go with her to hindu places and temples though i may not worship there as a muslim...
i think this is better then live secretly and hiding from her....so if you suggest me then i will tell her about my conversion to islam

Brother Mohammad Jamal,
My heartfelt congratulations to you.

My dear dear brother in Islam. I feel for you even though I am thousands of miles away from you. You are in India and I am in America, yet I feel I am in Kokata.

Brother, Kolkata has millions of Muslims, you just need to go to masjids and find some good pious Muslims. They will help you immensely. Internet relationship is good but is no substitute for the real thing (personal physical relationship). A truly good and pious Muslim family can do a lot for you and your wife.

You claim that you love your wife. But brother if she stays as Hindu/Jain and dies as Hindu/Jain then do you think she will go to Paradise or Hell ? She will BURN in hell fire forever. A billion year is a measureable quantity of time, but forever is a never-ending time limit. So think about it. And introduce Islam to all of your family members, at your earliest.
:wasalam:

[mkj-india]

Salam malikum...Thanks a lot.......but you know I am already in Islam now....and I do not want to leave my wife also....But if she supports me to follow islam and she dont...atleast this is fine for me, insallah...atleast i am muslim then to remain hindu....at the same time she will observe and see me as islam and changes in me...who knows her mind will changes and Allah will help her to change mind. But till she convinced for islam - I have to support her in hindu..So my role will be double...But chances are there that I only remain islam and she dont.....

But can u tell me 5 major reason tht it made u to take this decision???

Salam malikum...Allahu Akbar...

Nice question....

5 major reason tht it made u to take this decision to convert to islam...

1) I learned a lot on the internet about islam and I found it a very clear and true religion.

2) Islam believe in only one -Allah whereas Hindu believes in many Gods & Goddess.

3) Islam is different way of life...there is a system in eating, rules for haram or halal...

4) Islam teaches mankind how to attain success in the most perfect way..

5) Finally, Islam is the second-largest religion in the world..

[cmelbouzaidi]

:salam2: dear brother Mohammed Jamal :) Nice answer to chimusocute, you are a good Muslim already :ma: I pray that you have the strength to explain all of this to your beloved wife soonest. I pray that she, too, will accept Islam as it will be too hard, brother, to continue longterm practising in secret and attending events at the hindu temple. Brother Manawar is so right, you need the support of the local Muslim community, get some advice from some brothers there, as they can best help you as they understand the hindu culture than most of us do on TTI. May Allah continue to guide you and may He guide your whole family to the straight path, ameen.

Keep in touch with us here, we are here to support you. You have overcome many obstacles and may you be rewarded for this and given strength to make the next major step in the most positive manner :)

:salam2: Mohammad Jamal :ma: nice name

May Allah guide you brother. As far as it's your wife and kids are concerned, you have to try your best. First you have to have full faith in Allah ! Your kids are young, and i think you can help them realize the truth a lot ! Talk to them, take them to the mosque as much as you can. Pray to Allah for them because He is the only one who can guide them. Talk to your wife. Remember the stories of ashabas r.a.,. Non of them was accepted right there. Many of them have so much dificulties, and more then you brother, with parents! And we all know that only parents can not be exchanged for another. Wife can, kids can... but not parents, and ashabas r.a., was strong in deen and they didn't gave up ! I am sorry for what i'm going to say, but:" Try and don't give up on your wife and kids" At the end if nothing can be changed, Allah will give you better wife insha'Allah and give you kids who are going to worship Allah azza wa jall." Remember the prophet Noh a.s.... He was the messenger of Allah but he couldn't help his sons who didn't wanted to believe ! Study Islam, study the sirah of Prophet Muhammad s.a.w.s., read about ashabas r.a., read about other prophets a.s.,, and take advice from them !

My best wishes and may Allah help you out and give you what is best for you insha'Allah !

Hello all brothers...

As you all know that I am now converted to islam but cant change my wife....where as my wife is ready to support me if I want to follow Islam but she will not change or convert herself in any case. While discussing this issues, I learned that it is better to be ISLAM and my wife as HINDU for some years and as time passes with me as MUSLIM and with Allah's blessings, she will one day surely convert. She said he will help me in turn I have to help her in each others religions....Insallah, it is the best part for me that later or sooner, I have found ISLAM as true religion for me. Though it is a sin to live with hindu wife but as Allah knows that I reverted to islam, allah will understand my problem and forgive me and help to come out of this problems.... Atleast in this situation, I can visit masjid and pray daily and live islamic way....which I think is much better.....

what do you say?

I Understand your problem........

Be patient... Allah is the MOST MERCIFUL....

But Remember you cannot be with her for a long time..as your wife is not a modest woman believing in one God from the people of the book (jew or christian)

I hope she reverts to Islam sooner , rather than later.....

The best thing you can do now is acquire as much knowledge about Islam as you can... and practise Islam in the best way possible... this may soon make her realise what actually is this true and beautiful deen....

I think you are right brother...I should get more knowledge, and live a better life as MUSLIM....try and make new muslim freinds and then invite muslim friends at home......or visit their homes...this will make my wife compel think about islam but this may take months or years...who knows?

As for your question if your wife belives there is no god except HE,then there remains a little problem.(I grew up in Saudi Arabia,which gave a chance to study a lot of things from a different perspective).You wanted names:
How about:
Omar Farook (2nd Calipah of Islam know for his bravery,courage and justice)
Tarek Ziyad(Tarek bin Al Ziyad,conqueror of spain)
Khalid Khan( a friend of mines,nice) Khalid bin Al waleed was a great companion of the Prophet(SAW) who defeated the Romans and after becoming was only
among the few generals in history to be never defeated in a battle.

Thanks brothers!!

I am true to myself. I want to be complete muslim but some things are beyong my control as I cannot take risk to leave my family who has been supporting to me throughout my life and who is depended on me..ans they want to be jain/hindu only and I want to be islam...this is the main difference and question for which I am searching for a answer / solution since last 1 year. As such I am islam inside and I have to jain / hindu outside.

:salam2:
Assalam-o-alikum Brother Mohammad Jamal,

Ramazan Mubarak and Welcome back to TTI.

Brother you converted to Islam last year, nearly a year ago, but your situation with your wife has remained the same.

I know you love your wife and you worry about her and your children. I understand this... I would be worried too. But the solution to this problem is not to continue to stay Muslim inside and continue to "help" wife and children to go to temples etc where they worship false gods... Instead I would have implemented some strategy to achieve my goals.

Kolkata has a huge Muslim population. So if I was you then in this period I would have befriended with several Muslim families, their female members would be friends of my wife, and I have atleast introduced Islam to my wife and would have given her several books or litrature to read so that we could atleast talk. I would have used this bargaining chip that "Hey I will openly announce my conversion to Islam to everybody if you do not start reading Islamic books specially Quran".

Brother can you list what you have done in this last one year period to convince your wife to learn about Islam ?

If you are worried that she will leave you if she finds out that you converted to Islam, then isn't this a shame that she could leave you for a false religion but you cannot even talk to her about the true religion which you believe is correct and will lead you to salvation in the hereafter.

Brother if your wife & children die as Jain/Hindu then on the Day of Judgment the same wife & chilren will be blaming you that you had the truth with you but you didn't share it with them, and now they have to face this terrible punishment. What will you do then?

So you need to have a plan and a strategy to resolve this problem.

We on the internet can do only so much, the rest is up to you. My Duas are with you that Allah (SWT) protect you and guide you and help you in achieving these goals. Ameen ! :salah:

Wassalam.
:wasalam:

[mkj-india]

Thank you so much for your detailed reply.. I am really happy.. Allah will bless you...

:salah:

I will surely try my best but as I believe its always better to be islam alone as being islam is better then nothing...So i dont care whether my family is islam or not..i know its a sin. but on humanity ground, I cant leave them also..A time may come when they will accept me.now I am afraid... its already one year I am islam inside and it may take some more time...to come outside...so whats better....

Yes.I am looking for good muslim friends at kolkata...who can help me and make me real muslim...make me feel islam..take me to masjid and functions...and eat with me in a islamic way, even I can try non-veg/meat food as muslim does....sometime dress me as islam...
This will help me to get stronger and once I am strong...I can come outside as islam...what do you say?

So please help me to get some islam friends at Kolkata?

[Hard Rock Moslem]

Brother,

Congrat to you for your reversion into Islam. Sadly, I really do not know how to help you. Living with non-Muslim family it's ok but not with non-Muslim wife. I do not want to go into details since other brothers and sisters already explain to you.

Formerly I was a hindu also. I reverted first and a month later my wife followed me. I make du'a to Allah to guide my wife too, I openly told her that I'm going to revert. We discussed about Islam and finally mashAllah, Allah guided her into Islam. I'm fasting now, hope Allah will accept my du'a, may Allah guides your wife into Islam too. Ameen.

As advised by others, why not you approach nearby masjid and speak to the imam? I'm sorry, I've been following your thread only today. Have you done so?

Thanks brother...insallah, I want to visit nearby masjid and meet imam but not sure who will be there whether he will understand..I tried to visit islamic center also but failed to meet anyone there.. So before that as said in my above post / thread...I want to get some good muslim friends and go ahead..

:ma::hijabi:Congratulations on wanting to embrace islam,may Allah make it easy for you and strenghten your faith,amin.
Perhaps you can go to the mosque again,you never know you might meet some friends over there who might be able to help you further,Incha Allah.Don't be scared give it a try ,you'll do fine!Try talking to the imam maybe book an appointment so you can tell him what you've told "turntoislam.com" you be surprised at the help you'll get.All the best mkj-india ,Allah be with you.Please ,pray for the whole muslim ummah and may Allah guide your spouse (if you have one)and the rest of your family,amin.This might not happen overnight though I'm a revert myself and until now the only one.Which is 18 years ago,doesn't put me off ,I keep hoping and praying Allah will guide them that's my part the rest belongs to Allah.Know what I mean?
Good luck!!!:tti_sister::SMILY139:

Dear Brother "Maartje"

Thanks a lot for your reply and guidance... its nice to know about you.... may allah bless you too...

I will surely try to meet local imam soon...may be they are busy now due to ramzan...

:salah:

[mkj-india]

In any cost and considering my facts...what I believe is that it is the best decision that I am atleast going islam if not my wife....atleast I am half or more save from allah....as allah want me to islam and I did so...Once I meet imam and also make some local kolkata muslim friends and become true muslim....making habbit of daily prayers...going masjid...eating islam way....I think one or other day--may be years or more- I will manage my wife....till then its better that I remain determined to islam and find ways....

may be son married and then my wife may follow me but then it will take years....as son is just 11 yrs old.

Brother,

I thought Kolkata has a good population of Muslim (about 20%?), why don't you start making friends with some Muslim brothers? Having friends can be a great source of support and comfort, especially for new converts for:D

How is Ramadan going for you so far?

I'm InshaAllah going to visit Kolkata next time I go to Bangladesh (about 8-10 months from now), keep in touch!

Asalaamu alaikum brother in Islam, Allah has guided you to Islam because he has seen something in your heart that he likes. Don't despair because Allah guided you to this deen and he will guide you throughout all of your life just ask of him in your dua's and he will answer you inshallah.

You don't have to tell your family right away, maybe when the time is right you can do it in a tactful way, they will understand if you explain it to them properly inshallah.

There are MANY Muslims around where you live i suggest you go to your local Masjid and find a good scholar of Islam and find some good people in the Masjid they would be more than willing to help you out inshallah and you should keep a lot of contact with your local masjid and attend the house of Allah regularly for prayers for the Masjid is Allahs favourite places.

:salam2: Brother Mohammad Jamal,

1. Many Muslims are left handed. It would be better if you try to eat with your right hand, but I don't think it is a sin to use left hand for eating. If a person loses his right hand then he has to use his left hand to eat - right? My own brother is left handed, but he has trained himself to eat with his right hand. But if you can't, then I don't think Allah will ask you on the Day of Judgement about this. Your faith in Allah is much more important and all the rest of your deeds will come way before your left hand use.

2. Eating meat is NOT a requirement in Islam. You can be a vegetarian and a good Muslim at the same time.

and remember dont get hurt as new mulims hvlot of expectations but ...
i mean one of my frendz became mslim first time went to mosque and he was praying ..and he got very upset ...i asked why .he said somebody pushed him.
i said that happens all the time when ppl r leaving the mosque.he was still upset.i said come on the old person did not even know u r a new muslim .then he was happy.

Thanks for your time and nice suggestions, though I understand all the issues but things are not in my hand- I can go as ISLAM but I cant manage my family at the moment.

Dear brother mkj Assalamu Alaikum,

I read in a few posts you have mentioned that you will even start eating meat. Please remember that being a vegetarian or a non-vegetarian is not a part of what Islam dictates. You can continue to be a vegetarian. Only remember, if you start eating meat there are some rules to be followed (halal, no pork)

Dear Brother,

As salamu alaikum wa rahmatullahi wa barkatuhu.

You have taken the right decision and the most important part of it is that Allah has given you hidayat as He gave me and my wife years ago. This means one thing for sure that all your provious sins are forgiven by Allah. Now you are as innocent as a new born infant. Don't get afraid to getting turned out by your family members because if they do so Allah will definitely give you much better than what you have now.Second it is your duty to tell your wife and children and also try to revert them to Islam. Now that you are a muslim you cannot have relationship with your wife if she remains a non-muslim.
I went through similar problems and even now I am facing problems but I remained stoic because Allah is with me. If I can be of any help to you please do let me know and I shall do my best.
Jazak Allah khair.

I have been through your thread and followed every comments. I can see you have the full support and encouragement of some brothers and sisters here.
You have taken a very wise and nice decision to willingly convert to this great and noble religion. BUT Your problem is within your wife?????
You know your family member better than anyone else and in your capabilities you can spare some times with her and explain to her about your conversion. No need to be afraid of her after all you are her husband and she will listen to you i aam pretty sure.
Explain some of your reasons like
Why you have converted?
Which thing has attracted you to islam.
etc, etc
I am pretty sure she will understand and after all i think you have been and still are a very good husband, sincere and faithful to her.
come back to you later ,bro

Dear Mr. MKJ,
The people of this world keep wandering for finding the truth of life but end up nowhere. The Jainism is the only true Islam. Except for the consumtion of meat and slaughter of innocent animals almost everything in Islam is derived from Jainism. If u go back to the period of 200 BC to 300 AD it was only Jainism that was there on the Arab peninsula reached there thru the Jain Traders. So instead of finding the truth elsewhere find it within yourself.

[ilyas_eh]

^ provide us proof.

Kindly know that Islaam is not a new religion rather it is the religion of Adam, Nooh (noah), Ibraheem (abraham), Moses, Jesus and Mohammed (may peace be upon them all).

Welcome to the forum and find some time to read about Islaam.

It is the duty of each and every people to wander for truth!!

lol....... Jainism in Arab thru traders...
Brother i hope you know that one of the principle ohf Jainism is "Satya" so please be truthful and always support your claims with authentic references.

You went to 200 BC...........brother Islam is right from the begining...

With respect of consumption of meat please go through Debate between President of Indian vegetarian congress(Jain) & Dr Zakir Naik

Assalamu Alaikum:

First I pray Allah (SWT) to forgive me for what I am writing.

My home is encompassed by homes of adherents of jainism. I am a very curious watcher to their religious activities. Jainism is worst of ideologies I have ever come across,worser than Hinduism. It is a milder form of pantheism. There is no Creator according to Jainism. It is full of hypocrisy that is exceptional. For participant in religious activities of Jainism you need to be a wealth power.

Above all Jainism is nothing but a basket completely full of unique rituals. Further unique here is path to salvation,which requires extreme isolation form worldly life and intense affliction to our own body.

Islam aligns to extreme right of a line and Jainism to extreme left of same line.

Regards.

Except for the consumtion of meat and slaughter of innocent animals almost everything in Islam is derived from Jainism. If u go back to the period of 200 BC to 300 AD it was only Jainism that was there on the Arab peninsula reached there thru the Jain Traders. So instead of finding the truth elsewhere find it within yourself.

What lol? Let me look at this one for you -

Every soul is born as a heavenly being, human, sub-human or hellish being according to its own karma.

In Islam, every soul is born sinless.

There is no supreme divine creator, owner, preserver, or destroyer. The universe is self-regulated, and every soul has the potential to achieve divine consciousness (siddha) through its own efforts.

I stopped reading after this. May Allah(swt) give you guidance.

Islaam means 'submission to God', so how can this religion be the true Islaam when there's no god according to the Jainism belief? How can the concept of God derive from Jainism? The Arabs at the time of the Prophet :saw: were pagan, there were some Christians and Jews, but I haven't came across a Jain Arab.

Also, Allaah subhaana wa ta'aala has given us animals to eat, alhamdulillaah. I kill apples everyday but they don't have a nervous system to feel the knife slice through them and I brutally slaughter helpless parasites, and I step on grass, poor guys. When Muslims slaughter animals, animals are NOT to feel pain.

May Allah Subhanahu watalaa protect your Imaan and Islam. :salah:
Take it easy and slowly build on performing salah. May Allah bless your time.

Alhamdolillah.

Welcome brother ... Welcome ...Welcome .... Welcome

Don't worry at all,,, believe me Allah will change everything.... be patient you are just at the first step.
Our prophet Mohammed with the first Muslims were 3 years isolated by the disbelievers of Mecca, with almost no food.
If ur kids r old enough and u r able to take care of ur self and wife, then tell them the truth, and if they push u out, leave ur home and find a new Muslim wife if ur wife did not accept to come with u.

Assalamu Alaikum: Br.

I am myself a revert to Islam from Hinduism. In no way reverting from Hinduism is an easy task.

I may help you InshaAllah,to familiarize you with local Muslims where-ever you live in India. Also I am myself in contact with a Jain family where all members of the family reverted to Islam. PM me for further interactions.


May Allah (SWT) make you steadfast in Deen of Allah.

Regards.

Agreed reverting is not at all easy and in some countries it will be seen adversely too due to all negative propaganda. Your post in 2008-2009 and its now 2011. I feel something is not fully right, I dont understand. You say you are in Kolkota, and googling suggests Calcotta has good Muslim population. Whats preventing you from going to a mosque, meeting a Imaam of your place or neigbourhood and practising the religion you beleive in?
