Salaam & hello everyone,
I am Anam, I have been reading up a lot on Islam for the past few months, so I decided to join here.
I am born to a Yemeni Muslim father & a Syrian Christian mother, my parents divorced when I was a child & religious differences was the issue. They met as University students in Britain.
My mother was & still is a very devout Christian, she had refused to convert to Islam when she married my father, although my grandparents had insisted upon a conversion. My father wasn't very religious then, but my birth brought out the Muslim in him. My mom still had me baptized a Christian, against his wishes. Three years later, I had twin sisters, however problems between my parents persisted over religion, & they separated & finally divorced when I was 6.My mother left Britain with me & my sisters, but my father stayed on. He remarried & had 4 more children, my mom didn't remarry.
I am closer to Christianity than Islam, being raised by my mom, but I think I don't believe in any God or religion, so agnostic describes me best.My sisters & I were raised by my mother & maternal grandmother. My mom is a scientist, my grandmother breeds dogs,we didn't really miss out very much because of not having my father around, because we had a loving home with grandparents & pets around, but it still hurt me when I saw other kids' with their fathers.
I have been reading up on Islam for the past few months, & have learnt loads of things about it, I thought I would join an Islamic forum to discuss issues.
I went to University inUK & am in a committed relationship with a British Anglican man, I am going to be married & moving to London permanently in a few months.
