Salam Shaunee
If you have looked deep down within yourself and you truly believe that Islam is the true religion, then you shouldn't delay your shahada. Specially because of circumstances that you have no control over ie your husband etc.
Quote:If I said that I wanted to make shahada right now..... what would you say? No, I'm sorry you have to go to hell because you won't get a divorce? Would anyone refuse me or any Christian married woman for that matter?
I personaly would encourage you to say your shahada right now and right after you utter the last words of your shahada guess what I would do? I would hug you and kiss you too, and say to you Asalamalaykum Sister and welcome to Islam The exact way we way are supposed to greet our sister in islam.
Shaunee, don't look too far ahead into the future, all you know now is that you want to take your shahada, use that opportunity and let Allah sort out everything else for you. Divorce is not the only way, take it easy InshaAllah. WHo knows Allah might soften your husbands heart and he might accept you, and perhaps even join you. Think Positive Sister, just because some houses got wrecked because one spouse wasn't willing to accept the other spouse, doesn't mean that you'll be in the same situation too.
Look after yourself
