Both my husband and I converted to Islam. I converted during Ramadan last year and my husband shortly after. The thing that drew me to Islam was the hijab and loose clothing of the Muslim women. We both did research by Internet and then read ahadith.
I was totally convinced. I went to a masjid for my first time. A sister
there greeted me and gave me my first hijab which I will cherish always.
I watched on as others prayed...too scared that if I participated I might
offend someone After I converted I did not wear hijab right away. It wasn't until a
year after that I did. I found the right one to fit my head and also the
right spot in my heart to wear it. Now I don't go out without it My husband read the Qu'ran and then shortly after converted. Myself
I'm from a Canadian Anglican background and my husband never joined his
Christian church (Presbyterian). Our parents are dealing with it slowly.
I've never had any bad experience when converting to Islam. I hope that
by wearing hijab that I will prompt someone to research it too. I've met
wonderful people in my walk in Islam and will continue to pray to Allah
for the wonderful thing he has bestowed upon us!! Alhamdulillah.
Peace,
Sister Tena
