Salam! Where are you from in Texas? I'm in Austin.

Salam! Your story sounds strikingly similar to mine. I literally went through so many religious ups and downs, but I feel like it was all part of God's plan to get me to the point where I am now. I regret nothing as it has helped me to learn more about my religion and see everything through a fresh set of eyes if you will. I'm sorry to hear that your friends and/or fiance aren't so accepting. I have learned not to really mention my current religious beliefs to people (especially Muslims) because they just don't seem to get it. Sectarian Muslims get reeeeally angry and defensive for some reason. It's almost like you insulted their mother lol. And people who are of other religions just want to put you in a box. Like you tell them that you're Muslim (or a submitter) but not Muslim like the traditional Muslims they don't know what to think of you lol.

Anyways, I hope everything works out for you and all of us in general! Peace and God bless from Texas!

Welcome Inspired. We have a couple of things in common we are both former Christians and we both live in Texas. Read everything here like you eat fish--eat the meat and spit out the bones. May I ask where in Texas you are located? I'm in Austin.

Hey! I'm in Austin too!

Hey! Im in Austin too!

salam! Glad to have found this group of people that follow the Quran alone. I was doing some research about a year ago and I stumbled across this website and was pleasantly surprised at the amount of information that was on here. I converted to Islam 3 years ago but started questioning some of the same things that I questioned when I was a Christian. Ex the idolatry, the blatant disregard of the holy book and its commandments etc, but I digress. Again, I'm glad to have found this group and I hope to read some interesting discussions and learn a lot more!

Salam.
