Will Allah and the Muslims accept me?
Islam changed my perspective about life
Please help me with my question.
I am a mother of two sons who I had in two previous relationships. I was not married in either. After two year of researching Islam I have to convert to Islam. Before I do this can you please tell me if I would be accepted in to the Islamic faith by other Muslims and Allah? Would a Muslim man marry a woman like myself who has children and converted to Islam?

You are always welcome to Islam.Accepting Islam will Inshallah efface all your previous sins. Allah is the most merciful, even after committing many sins he will forgive us if we sincerely repent and resole note to repeat them again.Convert immediately, now at this moment and start practice because you never know when death would come.You are doing a great thing you will bring along with you to more people to Islam your children.
[O Prophet!] Tell the unbelievers that if they desist from evil, their past shall be forgiven and if they revert to their past ways, then it is well known what happened with the people of the past(Quran 8:38)
Whosoever repents and does good, he returns to Allah in the manner that he should. (Quran 25:71)
Inshallah you will surely find a good Muslim husband . You can join a Muslim matrimonial web site.
"Indeed those who have said: "Our Lord is Allah", and then remained on the right course there will be no fear concerning them nor will they grieve. Those are the companions of Paradise, abiding therein eternally as reward for what they used to do.
[The Holy Qur'an,Surah 46:13-14]
When Allah has accepted you, who are we to refuse. Do not delay any further.
Ash-hadu-Allah-ilaha illalahu wa ash-hadunna-muhammadan-abduhu wa rasooluhu.
I bear Witness that there is not god but Allah and Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) is the last and final Messenger of Allah.
May Allah bless you and keep us all on the right path. Aameen.
Assalam'alaykum,
Yes yes you are welcome to Islam. Once you say the shahada, Allah and all muslims will accept you. Infact, all muslims will pray for you in every prayer they pray.
"Indeed, the religion in the sight of Allah is Islam." ( Quran 3:19)
"This day I have perfected your religion for you and completed My favour upon you and have chosen Islam as your religion."( Quran 5:3)
"There shall be no compulsion in (acceptance of) the religion. True guidance has become clear from the falsehood. So whoever renounces the false religions and puts his faith in Allah has grasped the most trustworthy handhold that will neverbreak. Allah hears all and knows all.[The Holy Qur'an, Surah 2:256]
Verily those who say, "Our Lord is Allah," and remain firm (on that Path),- on them shall be no fear, nor shall they grieve." ( Quran 46:13-14)
"Allah is the supporter of those who believe. He leads them out from darknesses into the Light". [The Holy Qur'an, Surah 2:257]
It is narrated on the authority of Ibn Shamasa Mahri that he said: We went to Amr b. al-As and he was about to die. He wept for a long time and turned his face towards the wall. His son said: Did the Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) not give you tidings of this? He (the narrator) said: He turned his face (towards the audience) and said: The best thing which we can count upon is the testimony that there is no god but Allah and that Muhammad is the Apostle of Allah. Verily I have passed through three phases. (The first one) in which I found myself averse to none else more than I was averse to the Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) and there was no other desire stronger in me than the one that I should overpower him and kill him. Had I died in this state, I would have been definitely one of the denizens of Fire. When Allah instilled the love of Islam in my heart, I came to the Apostle (may peace be upon him) and said: Stretch out your righth and so that may pledge my allegiance to you. He stretched out his right hand, I withdrew my hand, He (the Holy Prophet) said: What has happened to you, O 'Amr? replied: I intend to lay down some condition. He asked: What condition do you intend to put forward? I said: should be granted pardon. He (the Holy Prophet) observed: Are you not aware of the fact that islam wipes out all the previous (misdeeds)? Verily migration wipes out all the previous (misdeeds), and verily the pilgrimage wipes out all the (previous) misdeeds. And then no one as or dear to me than the Messenger of Allah and none was more sublime in my eyes than he, Never could I, pluck courage to catcha full glimpse of his face due to its splendour. So if I am asked to describe his features, I cannot do that for I have not eyed him fully. Had I died in this state had every reason to hope that I would have been among the dwellers of Paradise. Then we were responsible for certain things (in the light of which) I am unable to know what is in store for me. When I die, let neither female mourner nor fire accompany me. When you bury me, fill my grave well with earth, then stand around it for the time within which a camel is slaughtered and its meat is distributed so that I may enjoy your intimacy and (in your company) ascertain what answer I can give to the messengers (angels)of Allah. (Sahih Muslim)
Therefore, accepting Islam will be for your best interest in this life and the next. Once you've embraced Islam, do learn the Islamic way of life and worship and practice it regularly. May you find peace, success and hapiness within Islam. You will, by the mercy of Allah, find a great muslim husband who will marry you take great care of you and your kids unconditionally. All the best.

Sister Allah has already accepted you, Allah have showed you the right path since you converted
Muslim sisters/brothers must accept without any doubt and if they dont Allah will ask them
The third question I can't answer because I have no knowledge nor iam married
Welcome to the fold of islam, may Allah continue to guide you through out your life. So you have received good responses from the commentators above. I would like to add that you should try to teach your children islam so that they would be indoctrinated with its teachings as they grow up.. Or at least try to convince and sway them into islam. This is the first most important task for you after you have revert to islam.. I shall put you in my prayers.
Assalamu aleikum sister k,
InshaAllah Allah swt will grant you a good and righteous husband. Do not lose faith because this is a sign of disbelief in Allah swt. There is a lot of prejudice in Muslim communities, but whatever Allah swt wills for someone, no one can keep it from happening. When you convert, your past sins are wiped clean and you start a new life. You will also be bringing your two children into the fold of Islam, inshaAllah, and thus guiding them to the true path. These are great deeds that InshaAllah, Allah swt will reward with prosperty and happiness in this life and in the life to come.
