Alhamdulillah! It is so uplifting to see someone doing the same exact same thing as me and with the same intentions! My email is -clip- please do get in touch. All but one of my family and friends disagreed with me going to study Islam and urged me to finish university first. But the riba has me very worried and it's all I've been thinking about. I'm just waiting for my mother and father to wake up before I break the news to them. @HighHopes: Jazaakillah sister. Sometimes I wonder is this the right decision especially when my sister is giving me a way out of the riba. There is a tiny bit of me that is saying alhamdulillah you've been gifted with being good at maths and physics why not go and finish it and benefit the ummah that way? Whether that is sense or shaythaan I have a hard time distinguishing. But I think I will stick to my guns, after all, as I said I have taught myself via the internet the first half of my course. I think I can still benefit the ummah by teaching Maths and Physics I just dont think £9k every year for 3/4 years is a good spend of money unless you want to go into a truly professional career. For teaching though I dont think its necessary.
