Re: Tricked into Converting
I wanted to convert after knowing more… now I am just lost because everytime I do something I have to try to figure out if it is right or wrong…
had an issua about wearing bindiya.. MIL says is Gunnah.
Then SIL talked about wearing nail polish… some scholars say it is allowed… but everytime I try to explain my point of veiw.. I feel like my MIL just talks a bit louder and not listen to wht I am talking about… I truly do LOVEEE wearing nail polish.. in the past 5 years, there has not been a time when I did not have nail polish on. So, I asked y it was so wrong and my SIL said cuz it has alcohol thats why. So I found nail polish without alcohol and wore it and told them tht it did not contain alcohol. So, my other SIL said it was because of waddu.. water doesnt get under it. SO… I found a water permeable nail polish so it should be allowed and I told them about it. Then instead of being happy that I had found the happy medium… my MIL said “just take it off when u come to masjid and wear it all the other time. ISlam is not hard”. I did not want to do baat ka batangar so I didnt ask y. But I will wear my water permeable nail polish when it arrives in mail. I dont care what she says.
MY SILs are soooo awesome but my MIL somehow just tries to impose her views on me.
So, ya. I wanted to convert but now I feel a bit cheated. I try to accept my conversion but I am a bit uncomfortable telling people about it. Like when my friends and family ask how I converted all I can say is that I dont know.
