Hello everyone,
Please do not flame me for asking these questions as love is truly blind.
First let me talk about myself.
Work and lack of a muslim social circle due to my ambitions have led me away from my Muslim commitments. I haven't done a Jummah prayer in sometime. I try real hard to get to Eid prayers. (Although if I don't make it, then I do it at home). Deep down, I believe in being a Muslim and I love my attachment to our religion and Allah. So I have that fear of not fulfilling my duties as a Muslim. I am really looking forward to Ramadan as well. I am 26.
My wife:
She is a European woman with good humane values. When she was young, he family converted to Mormonism. However, she is like me where she feels the love for her religion but isn't practicing. She is also young, 20.5 years old.
Naturally, I love my religion and want her to convert to mine so our kids become muslims and we can have good Ramadan moments as a family amongst other Islamic events. I feel this is the right time for me to try and convince her to convert to Islam since she's young and she's not practicing.
However, I am taking it slow so as to not make her become defensive. We were walking by an Islamic person one day who had brochures, and she took them, even read them once or twice. She also told me that Islam and Mormonism is similar in most ways. I make her say Bismillah when she's done praying before we have our meals.
Even though this looks slow and steady, I want to hurry up before we have kids (we're planning to have kids in the next 4-5 years) and also have her practice.
Just this morning, she mentioned to me that the best way would be that I learn about her religion and she learn about mine and then we try to figure this out.
I need your help. I need your advice and suggestions on how I go about this.
Thank you very much, and Ramadan mubarak!
