I'm engaged to someone from abroad and planing to move to his country after marriage. He's not yet a Muslim, but he wishes to convert in Singapore and I want us to have our nikaah here as well.
I'm trying to somehow get his conversion to Islam here in order AND organise for us to attend the pre-marriage course together. Flights are expensive and I think it's going to be a nightmare making him come to Singapore repeatedly just so we can get married.
I'll really appreciate it if anyone can advise me on how to get his conversion done, attend the marriage course and register for our nikaah in the shortest time possible so as to save money on plane tickets. It'll be especially great if I can hear from someone who's been in a similar situation.
I think the best is to contact Darul Arqam.
You can visit their website:
http://www.darul-arqam.org.sg
You can find lots of infos especially matters regarding conversions and courses for converts.
Hi srkgirl
We're in the same situation.Darul Arqam website helps alot.As for me, after the conversion, we are going to register and get married first THEN go for the courses.(as well as the course at Darul Arqam for converts) We decided for that as he has to go back to his country too for work.We have limited free time and since the course is available through out the year (check the mosques) we can go when we both are free.

Asalaamu Alaikum,
I do not know from which country your intended spouse is from. You say you wish to move to his country after marriage. I would suggest you look into discovering the rules for immigration to that country as these can be a problem. My wife and I married over 10 years ago and I could not get any official status in Malaysia which was her native country and now we are trying to move to the UK which is my native country and the visa process is both expensive and lengthy with no guarantee of success. By the way we are not spring chickens, but pensioners.
So I urge anyone marrying a foreigner to really look into the issue of moving to the spouses country. Be prepared to be very patient. Insha allah you will attain sucess.
Salam, yes SRKgirl
Patience for a journey of a life time...
Really all things should be sorted out and really firm foundations and understanding of the Religion is a must...
Also the laws and regulation of the country that you might be migrating to you must know their criteria for Permanent Residenceship...
All must be sorted out... and the avenues for you to see any help when you are all alone over there... you must also do your own research for yourself about the country and know the Singapore Consulate if anything goes wrong (Allah forbids)
Really, you must plan before you jump...
Salam

We are almost in the same situation. My boyfriend will be going through his revert procedures in his home country. Our nikah will be done in Spore and with documents he attained in Canada, will be brought here so as to fulfill the necessary requirements. But of course we are consulting Darul Arqam for more advice to ensure a smooth procedure.
