A bit about me

Assalaam alaikum

  Where to start?  Though I have been married to a Muslim man from Egypt for 22 years, I accepted Islam only two years ago.  I am an American and though I believed in very much the same way as my husband, I felt that reversion to Islam would not be accepted by my family and friends, and that I wouldn't be able to live up to the challenge of being a Muslim.  How wrong I was. Friends didn't bat an eye, and with the exception of my syblings (whom still feel this is just a phase, after all even at 44 I'm still the baby of the family), my nieces and nephews are happy that I'm happy.
 My husband and I have 4 children. Girls 19, 18 and 11 and a son 15.
 I'm very happy to be a part of this Madina community and thank my very special friend Kathy for inviting me.  I look forward to getting to know everyone.

Welcome to the board, and alhumdullilah that is wonderful to hear you accepted Islam.  :)

Just wondering, was there anything that made you realize to revert to Islam?

Welcome Mary! It's great to have you on board. (pardon the pun..hee hee)
Seriously though, mash Allah, finally you've made the right decision and taken Islam for *you* and not your relations. I reverted recently and I still have to break the news to my mother..She's an intelligent woman though..I'm hoping she'll see the logic in Islam Insha Allah!

Welcome to the community Mary!

Mary is a dear friend of mine. Treat her well!- now the board has 2 "old Ladies."

Mary, I have been forbidden to tell cow jokes here- it is a long story... but many people really enjoy them. Ya got any?

There is a moderator, we affectionately call her Den Mother (a nick name given to her by the Islamic Horizons magazine), who may try to threaten you if you do post a joke.

So ya get one chance before she threatens you with her mafia   so ... make it a good one.

Humdil Allah- I am greatful to Allah swt that you have finally signed in!
