السلام عليكم
I am an adult in the Northeast United States. I've not converted to Islam yet, but I feel it is likely to happen this Autumn, Insha'Allah. I'm waiting because I want to be sure that I'm not jumping off unprepared or too quickly. I need a little more time in study and contemplation.
I was raised as a conservative Catholic but I had disagreements with some of the teachings and so, in a personal crisis, I walked away from my faith. I then spent another 15 years wandering around in the wilderness - investigating many other religions. Through the years, I have met a number of people who happened to be Muslim, some born, some reverts. Each Muslim I met shared a different piece of their faith with me, as was appropriate under the circumstances. While they don't know it, they were each sowing small seeds of faith and hope for which I am ever thankful.
I am married, but my husband does not object to my choice of faith - whatever it may ultimately be - and is comfortable raising our child in Islam. I think he's more comfortable with Islam than conservative Catholicism for our child.

. I am 22 and I was also raised in a Christian household but converted to Islam almost a year ago. I studied Islam for about four years and there is still so much about this deen that I need to learn. I am happy to have you here with us my dear sister and I hope that your time here is beneficial and that you learn much to take that next step toward becoming a Muslim.
