I married someone who was not a Christian and we both were not practicing any religion I still held my belief of God and his creation of the earth.
The year after my divorce in 1990. I started thinking about what I needed. About what I believed. Early in1991 I started checking books out of the library and reading about Islam. I found several American Muslin sisters in Manhattan. Twenty miles from where I lived in a very small town. I studied with them and learned more about what I had read for the past year and a half. I took my shahada in December 1992.

I registered for a class '' Introduction to Islam'' This class brought back all the concerns I had about Christianity. As I learned about Islam. All my questions were answered. All of us are not punished for Adam's original sin. Adam asked God for forgiveness and our Merciful and Loving God forgave him. Jesus wasn't God: he was a prophet like all other prophets. They all taught the same message: believe in the one true God. Worship and submit to God alone. And live a righteous life according to the guidance He sent. I found a teaching that put everything in its proper perspective. I found a place to rest my faith.

I traveled to West Africa as a volunteer and stayed three months. In that time. I met true Muslims. When they heard the call to prayer, they ran to the mosque. If Allah was always on their tongues.
I became very sick and had to be evacuated to a hospital in the capital. I had no one to comfort me. All I could do was pray. I prayed almost constantly for there days. I remembered the conversion story of Yusuf Islam (Cat Stevens); he was drowning and promised Allah he would devote his life to Him if Allah spared his life. I did the same. Within two days. I was back in the village with my Muslim friends.
I was miserable when I returned to the U.S. I could no longer function in a society so far removed from what I wanted. Finally, On January 21, 1998, I converted.

Upon becoming a Muslim. I felt that my parents were disappointed in me. It was my choice and I had the right to do what I wanted. Then I discussed my beliefs and practices with my mother, and she accepted me unconditionally.
She said she and my dad are too old to change their ways. After my thirteen years of marriage. She told me that I looked beautiful in my headscarf. When my brother. Who is a minister. Wrote me a letter and that my husband. Our little children. And I would be going to hell. My mother disagreed with him.
Five years later she passed away. May Allah grant her peace, and the last time I spoke to her she talked about not being afraid to do. She said she was not worried about me, but she did worry about my three brothers, including the Christian, minister. She may have finally come to accept Islam as truthful even though she could not practice it herself.

As a Muslim Woman, I would like to say that Islam has liberated main many ways. I love my Islam and I feel that when I was born I was a Muslim and was raised as Christian. Now I have reverted not converted to the straight path. Non- Muslims need to understand that we are just living our lives by how we feel Allah( swt) wants us to live. Why are many people turning from their religions to Islam?
People need to look to the real Islam, the Islam of peace, the Islam, which is getting more and more followers everyday. Getting an Islamic society, to me, does not mean being fanatical or militant. It means having a society where the members are following the moral codes that Allah gave to us, as well as the religious obligations and social laws. Islam governs all aspects of our lives. It is for all times, for all peoples.
