QUESTION:
Dear Wael,
Assalamu alaikum wa rahmatullah. Your column is a great one regarding marital issues. May Allah reward you with the best.
My question is that I would like to marry a new convert/revert to Islam. Could you please send me some info regarding any organisations in India having such people, i.e. Muslim converts? May Allah reward us all with the best.

You can visit center for islamic studies (CIS) in cookes town, B'lore. I have met lots of revers there.
you could reach them at http://www.cis.org.in
if u r in kerala , u can call this number ******** to meet other converts, to get support, to learn islam.
(Editor's note: I removed the number. Is this the number of an established organization? Can you provide the name of the organization, or the website?)

Congratulations on accepting Islam! MaashAllah, this is a beautiful thing. May Allah make this path easy for you.
So you want to learn you prayers etc, Alhumdulillah. Do you have any Muslim friends? Do you go to a local Masjid? There are lots of websites that teach the prayers. Tell me - what do you know and where would do you want to start?

This website will help you learn Surah Fatiha, Ayahtul Qursi and some of the smaller Surahs from the end of the Quran.
***
As Muslims, we must pray Salaah five times a day. Fajr, Dhur, Asr, Maghrib and Isha. They consist of:
Fajr: 2 Sunnah, 2 Fard
Dhuhr: 4 Sunnah, 4 Fard, 2 Sunnah, 2 Nafl
Asr: 4 Sunnah(optional), 4 Fard
Maghrib: 3 Fard, 2 Sunnah, 2 Nafl
Isha: 4 Fard, 2 Sunnah, 3 Witr (or the longer version: 4 Sunnah, 4 Fard, 2 Sunnah, 2 Nafl, 3 Witr, 2 Nafl)
Please watch the websites. If you feel that you need help in following them, please write back here so we can help you inshaAllah. I will also encourage you to find a Masjid, the brothers and sisters there will inshaAllah help you too. I am assuming your husband to be is Muslim?

@ Wael: i looked at Zawaj.com - you need to help us narrow the search criteria - just the gender and age group is not enough - I got over 300 males when I did that! and I am not going to waste my time sorting thru them as most are not in the US or are not compatible for other reasons. Can you make the search more like Singlemuslim.com, who I think are better than even Shaadi.com - have a look at Singlemuslim and see what I am suggesting. I am looking preferably for a revert husband as well, as I have had it with the born muslims and their cultural baggages.
I'll take a look at it Insha'Allah, thanks. By the way, some converts have cultural baggage as well. It's best to judge the individual, not generalize people by background or nationality. - Wael
