When people first convert to Islam, they will quickly realize that their lives are significantly different compared to the lives they had before converting.   

Islam is not just a religion of beliefs. It is a religion of action. As such, it is a religion that makes demands on people from the time they wake up until they go to sleep. In this lesson, we’re going to go over some of the major areas where you will see your life change as a convert to Islam. 

These areas are the following:  

1. Waking up very early in the morning for prayer. 
2. Cleanliness and ritual purity (going to the bathroom isn’t going to be the same again, you will have to be a lot stricter in your washing and follow step by step rules) 
3. Sexual relations with your spouse (you will be required to perform the major ablution after relations, you won’t be able to carry on your day as usual as you will have to be in a state of ritual purity in order to pray. 
4. Eating Halal (this means that you will have to eat only ritually slaughtered meat and avoid forbidden foods like pork and forbidden drinks like alcohol).
