26: Objection of me converting to a Muslim

Welcome to Woman Leadership show. I'm Janet and in this episode, I will be sharing with you objection of me converting to a Muslim.I came from Buddhist / Taoist family and I have went to church in school days . When I got married, I resonate with Taoism and Buddhism since my husband lean more to Buddhism. My hubby thought that I would changed my mind again after few months and not serious about it.  My mum refused to speak to me and change her phone number for 2 years. She took me to have my gastric check so that to convince me that 
I cannot fast. She said that I have entered into a religion of terrosim and brainwashed. Why do I become Malay and children too. She threatened me that she will commit suicide and so on. I prayed about it and I stayed firm in my decision as I believed that only Almighty can save me should I die , no human being wheter is my hubby, mother or children can save me. I will be alone in the grave and so that thought and belief kept me going despite objections and questions from relatives. I have to decide mother family or religion, I cried and prayed because I will lose everything if my hubby and mother do not support me of my decision. Thank you Almighty that my husband decided to convert to muslim on his own after understanding more about Islam. My mum reconciled with me and wanted to have plans to travel with me. I was elated and happy that I am accepted . I am the same person even though I change religion. I am more patient and have changed for the better since conversion. Friends and relatives would have seen the changes in me.  Takeaway
If you believe in a cause or mission, you will overcome the challenges with grit and faith and friends and family who loves you will forget why they angry with you and accept who you are. When I have this obection whether is to start something for e.g business, new career , with due respect to husband and family but if we think is right for us our actions will influence the people around us and they will start seeing positive things and probably like to know how we make it happen or even regret for not following us on the same journey. Everyone has a choice and we are responsible for our choices, we do nto balem others for whatever bad is going to happen. I still remember someone told me I make a wrong choice as it will be harder for my life after onversion. What I can say is does it mean not being a muslim will have easier life? Now I know I found my faith and I have almighty there for me. I can go to him anytime and he is there to answer my prayers. I hope that through my sharing, it draws inspiration and personal reflection for you. I believe every woman can be a leader in your own way.  I look forward to seeing you in my next episode where I will be sharing with you tips and ways to realize your full potential as a leader on Woman Leadership.
