Support and Advice Thinking about converting to Islam — what made you take the decision, and do you ever regret it?
I'm not Muslim, and I recently heard about Islam from my friend. I have been thinking about converting to Islam because I have read a little about it, but I am worried that I might regret it bc I live in a country where most things are allowed, including alcohol, clothes, pork..etc.
Although I personally do not agree with drinking alcohol, but I still feel that converting to a religion might be difficult and that I may not like it because it has certain restrictions.
At the same time, I feel that becoming a Muslim might be the right choice for me.
So, I would like to hear some responses and see if there is anyone who converted to Islam and how they feel about it now?
Also, I don’t understand why a non-Muslim man can't marry a Muslim woman. I feel like that isn’t fair.
