Assalamu'alaikum wa Rahmatullahi wa barakatuh sister,
In the name of Allah, The Most High, The Best of Planners, The Knower of All. May Allah guide us in this life on a straight path which the righteous took and will take to Jannah In Sha Allah and may Allah, The Most Merciful protect us from His punishment in the grave and the Hereafter, for His is the Greatest punishment.
Firstly, Ma'sha'Allah (Allah has willed) for your status as a new Muslimah and this is something worth holding onto with your life.
I am sorry to hear of your contemplation of a divorce from your your husband. However before pondering over whether or not this break in your relationship will also take place between you and Islam, we must first understand what Islam is.
The first time you would have become a muslim, you would have taken the shahadah and declared your belief in Allah (To Whom all Glory belongs) as the only God and Mohammad (May the Peace and Blessings of Allah be upon him and may he be given the highest rank in Jannah) as Allah's slave and messenger. This is the fundamental core of Islam. This means that this relationship you have revitalised with Allah (The Greatest) is between you and Him only. This is very beautiful indeed. Allah (to Whom all Glory and Praise belongs) has made our faith such that it is independent of everything and everyone. You do not need a husband or a mother or a father to validate your Imaan (faith), all you need is Allah (The Most Loving and Forgiving, may He forgive us). Allah (To Whom all Praise and Thanks belongs) tells us in the Qur'an that he is indeed near. Therefore sister, I urge you to continue worshipping Allah (The Most Wise and Kind) and gaining knowledge of Islam regardless of what happens in your marriage. This is a trial created for you by the Best Creator, perhaps to test your true faith and belief in Allah (The Most High, without Whom we cannot function) and perhaps to make you a stronger muslim; Allah (The Best of Planners) knows best. In sha Allah, you will be able to achieve the success in the Hereafter my sister and I pray that we are all able to become stronger muslims with stronger imaans after the trials and tests created for us by our Lord, the Mosg Merciful. In sha Allah, Allah (The Most Loving) will help remind us of how He creates the hardest of trials for the slaves He Loves the most.
May Allah forgive be for any mistakes I may have made and may Allah guide us all towards Jannah and forgive our sins, the major, the minor, the ones we know of and the ones we do not know so that The Most Merciful, our Lord, to Whom ultimate Thanks and Praise Belongs, will Protect us and Shelter us from the Punishment He has created for the disbelievers and wrongdoers in the Hereafter and in the Grave. May Allah guide us in our tests and trials for He is the Best of Guides.
Assalamu'alaikum wa Rahmatullahi wa barakatuh
Asalamoalikum
Bismillah, marriage with him does not certify your islam, you being a muslim is between you and Allah alone. Before getting a divorce please seek help from Allah. And if you decide to continue in this route, you will always be a muslim as long as you choose to be.
