Please don't forget

Hi Natty!  So you're going to Bali to earn a yoga certificate?  I think yoga is just fine if strictly approached as merely a form of exercise to be done away from the Public Eye (I wish I could look great in a leotard).  But few would deny that it has its spiritual elements, the origins and philosophy of which are not Islam.  So it is my duty to remind you that I cannot be married to a non-Muslim.  Worse than that, Allah might present you with a nasty surprise.  I'm sure you witnessed a similar situation about a year and 4 months ago.  Please be aware of God.

I do have to admire your gall though, and I bet you are nervous as hell.  Indonesia is well aware of my mission mashaAllah, and while the country is mostly Islam, Bali is not.  So the Public Eye will take it as granted that whoever teaches you yoga will try to steer you towards their religion.  Therefore the solution is simple: do not forsake Allah at any time, and you will do just fine.  If you can keep your heart and intention straight, then you have my blessing.

Are you sure you want to go to Bali, Princess?  You could always get your yoga cert in NYC.  At least if God wills to test you, you would be on familiar ground.
