Alsalam 'alaykom
Shaunee I am here with good news for u, sorry I am late, sorry if there are new events that happened on other posts which I did not read, but Our scholar confirmed what was in the fatwa by scholar Qaradawi, and he said that u must inform him that u became a muslim and stay with him for the period of time mentioned 3 months i think and try to call him to Islam peacfully and convince him the same way that u were convinced, then if after these 3 months pass and he was not convinced then sorry to say that u must leaave him and go to a mosque and ask their help for such a situation and maybe they will be of aid in helping u to show him the right way, maybe if he sees that u left him then he will know that your relegion is devine and true and that u will not leave him for just wanting to, maybe he will reconsider and try to learn the truth.
I will tell u a true event that happened to one young Kuwaity youth I know, as u know there are many muslims who are muslims by name, he did not use to pray, he used to go to movies smoke follow girls an all that stuff, but then a car accident happened to him with his friend and his friend almost died, the car kept turning maybe 3 or 4 times before settling on its back his friend was thrown from the car bleeding, with no movement at all and he thought that he was dead. That was a sign from Allah for him to wake up, so he did, he left everything, even his friends who are very close to him, his friends since childhood, because he chose Allah Subhanahu Wa T'ala, and he chose to walk on the right path, his friends tried a lot to pull him back but he was determined "I want to die a true muslim" he said, "u will not be more dear to me than Allah The Great". His friends were very sad to lose him, so they told him okay teach us what u learnt and insha'Allah we will learn, now they are all true muslims who go to the Mosque 5 times daily, and whenever they have time and opputunity they go to Ummra, and they are more closer to Allah, so c his determination helped his friend as well . So why don't u try that, but after those 3 months pass. I hope this will help u shaunee, and sorry for being late in answering, and again may Allah guide your husband to the right path, and u r always on my mind and I am always praying for u dear.
Wasalam 'alaykom wa rahmat Allah wa barakatuh
