Islamic marriage advice and family advice

Tag Archive for ‘can I keep my name?’

How do I convince my in-laws that it is not mandatory to change my name to revert to Islam?

But my in-laws now say that unless I change my name, I cannot be a true muslimah. I believe in Allah and I know that Islam is not just for arabs, but for the entire humanity. My name is not offensive to Allah, the prophet or Islam, so why can’t I keep it?
