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 ...but not realizing that they would soon
become my brothers and sisters in Islam alhamdulillah.
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
