My family does not practise Islam. How can I guide them? (3)

My family is Muslim but non-religious. When I was 18, I met my husband and I researched Islam more and began to pray and fast. We married when I was 19. I am now 21 and I have just started to wear hijab, and my husband supports this alhamdulillah.

Husband won’t allow me to wear niqab (2)

We have a disagreement about my right to chose to wear the niqab.

I have felt this tugging at my heart for years, even bought a few almost 4 years ago to secretly try. I decided that I was not strong enough then to wear it SubhonAllah. However since then my heart &knowledge for Islam has grown 10 fold. I completely feel ready to wear niqab InshaAllah.

When I approached my husband about it he said absolutely not. I have tried to soften his heart but he says now is not the time. I’ve cried over this too many times.

Wanting to get married [without parents knowledge] (7)

My question is: I am Ahmadi and my boyfriend is Sunni. I have tried speaking to my parents about the fact that seeing Imran and talking to him is against Islam and that I do not want to sin further and if there is any possibility to get nikah done now. My parents however replied that in order for me and him to get married he will have to become Ahamdi. Since this is something we can not do can we get our Nikah done without our Parents knowing?

My husband has online relations with other women (6)

I need advice and help, I feel so alone and confused. I met my husband online 4 years ago, a few times over the time we met I discovered he was talking online to females and joining wierd fetish groups for sexual relief. I would discover many times what he did, but I new deep down he is a good man and I stood by him believeing him every time he said sorry and that he had done tawba over his mistakes.

I find myself asking what I’m doing wrong. It’s not the obvious reason where people will say I dont give him sex, as I’m always the one asking and waiting for it. He is always tired because of work and when we do finally have sex he just jumps in the bath and wants to eat, whereas I want to lay down and cuddle and talk.
