Last night i had a discussion with my husband about religion, as i had upset a girl at work a little by talking about God, along with a Christian girl who works here who is a big believer in God and really practices her religion, which is really nice to see these days. The other girl is a complete non-believer and unfortunately took some of things we said a bit out of context, but hamdulillah she is fine now.
But i was telling hubby the full story and we somehow ended up talking about hypocrits (as you do....) To cut a long story short, i said he was a hypocrit as he does'nt follow his religion too well and how it is such a shame as he is very knowledgable. Also, he obviously wants our children inshallah to be brought up as Muslims, but he if he is'nt practising, that makes him a hypocrit. Ok, so he did'nt like it, but we did'nt argue, we just put our points accross and he even agreed with me.
But the whole thing has made me feel a bit down, as i am new to Islam and a keen learner and was hoping he would want to go more into his religion than he does. Hamdulillah he has given up on all alcohol since we met, but what about the rest?
Maybe i am over-reacting, but it has left me feeling a little deflated and a little sad. I feel disappointed. :(

im sorry to hear things are troubling you at work.. as for your husband, you looking into Islam may be what brings him closer to his deen too.. we all are taking things one step at a time, whether born or converted. He must be so pleased you are even looking into islam. Dont be too hard on him.. what other things do you wish he would do? maybe you should tell him that. Insha'allah it will all be fine. Im in work at the moment, and giggling at the thought of you calling him a hypocrite. Insha'allah u can both learn together
It's really nice that he is married to someone so supportive and wanting to share that journey to Islam. That journey to practising islam can be slow but sure and insha'Allah he'll get there; maybe when the two of you start to have children he'll realise the importance of making islam a bigger part of his life. Of course you are reading and learning so much about Islam and wanting to share it with all the fervour of someone new to this... maybe just go gentle on him. ;) :) Love you! Nicola x
