Insha'Allah, this is a reminder to us that we can't let our families influence the daily decisions we make as we embrace Islam, every part of it.
The Noble Quran 60:3-
Neither your relatives nor your children will benefit you on the Day of Resurrection (against All�h). He will judge between you. And All�h is the All-Seer of what you do.

I have recently converted to muslim and have received many oppositions. I now wish to marry a muslim man but his mother is totally against the union as i am a recent convert and i am not her choice but her sons. I wish to ease her fears and too become a good practicing muslim but I am finding it difficult to learn everything involved although i am slowly trying. Please could you give me advice on how too ease my future mother in laws fear and hopefully stop a rift forming.

I'm sorry, I don't know your name nsw23! Did you meet this muslim man in a halal way? Did u do anything that might have upset Allah? I know you're new and MASHAALLAH for converting sister! How Allah chose to guide you! Keep practising and pray for Allah's help and Insha allah you will get what u hoped for.

That's common, sadly. Some Muslims only want their kids to marry people from the same village (really!) from back-home... the concept of a revert is probably totally frightening. Have your wali discuss with your mother-in-law-2b (Insha'Allah) regarding hadith on choosing a wife, etc. Insha'Allah, everythign will turn out OK!
