Mashallah what an amazing story brother. Alhamdulilah, you had alot of strength to go through such a big test. May Allah swt keep you on the stright path. Your story will make alot of people think...
How did things end up for you brother? Have you remarried? Do you still see your children?

I have 5 grown up children; two daughters and three sons.

One daughter speaks to me, and the other one won't because I abandoned Christianity.

One son refuses to talk to me, and the other two will sometimes, but not often.

No, I haven't gotten remarried but I would like to.

About 5 years ago I meet a sister through some friends. We wanted to get married. I knew her father and brother at the mosque. When her and the wali contacted them. They refused to even meet with me. I wasn't from her country or tribe. Plus, I was white.

I was really blown away. They are known at the masjid to be a really religious family. But chose culture over Deen.

It was my first experience with racism between muslims. Before that I naively believed that there was No racism in Islam. Took me about a year to recover from that situation. I basically have been reluctant to try again.
