Thank you for your question.
My advice is to be patient, because this is a strange appearance in UK people. In the future, I think look will change and it will be normal. Our condition in UK is much better than any other European country. Be proud of your Hijab.

Question
Are there other requirements aside from the Kalimah in getting formally converted into a muslim?
Answer
Dear sister,
To be a Muslim, you need to go to the nearest Islamic centre to you to meet the Imam and him will explain to you. It is very simple. Steps are:
1. To say shahadah
2. To know the five pillars of Islam and practice them.
3. To know the six pillars of belief.
Thanks

plesae allow me to congratulate you and youe mosque..I have been praying in the mosque and I really adore your voice and khutbas.. Sheikh Ezzat, what else can your mosque offer to British Muslims in a more effective way and to encourage them to be better Muslims
Answer
Wa alaikum assalm,
Thanks for your kind words
I think we are trying our best to help the Muslim community to integrate wisely in the society, and to know the law of the country, to understand it, to respect it because this will protect them from many problems and accept what is acceptable to our beliefs. I think the majority of the law is agreement with the Islamic law. So, the Muslim should be always example for others

Please tell us more about your experience as an imam in UK..
Answer
Thanks so much brother..
This is a very big question.
I think it is very big responsibility to be an Imam in western country and in the biggest mosque because this means you do not lead Muslims in prayer or just deliver the speech on Friday only, but sometimes I am like a judge, supporter, issue divorce, make marriage, give advice, etc. I meet non-Muslims every day in the mosque, outside the mosque, with religious leaders of other faith. Although it is a big responsibility and a lot of work, it is enjoyable. I ask ALLAH to give me strength and to make good example to Islam.
