Belief is Power,
I sincerely do feel for you as a convert. I have witnessed the racism faced by converts from born Muslims, who should be setting a good example for new Muslims. I have witnessed on numerous counts what happens to converts when they approach Muslim families. I personally would advise you to marry another convert. Inshallah Allah will bless the both of you in paradise and on earth with wonder, islamic and pious children. As a Somali, my people have pushed away white converts wanting to marrying our girls because of the converts skin colour, financial stability and not having a tribe. For some Africans, tribes are important. Without sounding too racist myself, I personally would never marry outside my race only because I wouldn't feel comfortable in living with that person. Matter of fact, I don't think I could fall in love with someone who is not a Somali. Having said that, I have seen Somali women married to converts, manshallah they are happy and have beautiful, religious children and most of all there is love between the husband and wife.
Brother, you don't need to look outside the religion to find a wife. Open your eyes, be patient, make dua and inshallah Allah will grant you a beautiful Muslimah. |
