I am very new to Islam and planning to fast this Ramadan, I only know a few people who are Muslim and this will not be an easy move to make for me. I am from a white christian family and I have always been expected to get married in a white dress in a church and marry a banker (none of which I have done - much to my mothers dismay).
I have made many mistakes and Islam found me and I have tried to follow the guidance and my life has got better. I have been reading the Qu'ran in English and trying to learn more but there is a limited amount to what you learn on your own.
Many people are confused by my choice to become a follower of Islam and are angry with me - I know there are other women who have chosen this path and I was wondering if you have been accepted by other Muslims? I would like to go to the mosque but I am nervous about what I should do (or not do) and what I should say (or not say)? I know that not many women go to mosque and many prefer to pray in their own home but I feel I should learn more and that the mosque would be a good place to start?
I do not want to be ignorant any longer.
Kirsty (I may also be changing my name to Ana - but I need advice on these things too, my name means 'christian and follower of God' - I have been told I should change it?)
Dear Sister Kirsty - Assalamu alaikum
Thank you for your message, we are really pleased to hear from you
Ramadhan is a very special time for Muslims and especially so for New Muslims. I recall my first Ramadhan very well and although it was definitely hard going, I was very aware of my drawing close to Allah Almighty and that helped me a lot at the time. Fasting is itself a very high form of worshipping Allah swt and brings special rewards which only Allah almighty can know. I've found that the best way to proceed is to only look to the end of the day and not think about the rest of the month - that way you can stay focussed without worrying about other days.
Please don't worry about being a wee bit nervous or shy - this is very normal and we have all felt this way when we first came to Islam. The mosque seems a hard step to take however this is only really because its unfamiliar territory and it soon becomes that 'third place' in your life along with work and home. I think that this will be much easier for you if you approach this with friends who have perhaps travelled the same path - which is where insha'Allah we can help. Our group aims to help those who are new to Islam, considering becomg Muslim or who even just want to learn a bit more, so we are here for you and you don't have to feel alone. Good company is in fact quite important and we can help you take the steps you feel you want to take, when you are ready to take them.
I'll ask one of our sisters to get in touch insha'Allah - we are not having the usual Wednesday meetings in Ramadhan however we will be having some informal meetups so inshaAllah a sister can meet you and take care of you.
You may wish to take a Muslim name at some point, however our sister can discuss this with you. It's not usually mandatory as such unless your name has a meaning which is contrary to the spirit of Islam - again this can be discussed so don't worry for now.
Again, thank you for your message and please let us know if we can be of help or advice - it's never a problem
