A Kazakh woman almost left for Syria after marrying a Salafist.

His story that he shared with the correspondent of the portal. "My acquaintance with Islam began in 2011, when I was 30 years old. A close friend of mine then told me that it is the brothers who are in religion who are the most loyal, caring and affectionate men. Believing her, I asked her to find me a similar husband. Less than a month later, a friend and her husband introduced me to a religious brother, Zhaslan, who had been in the religion for about 10 years. He promised that he would teach me everything he knew. We performed the nikah ceremony immediately the next day, and I didn't even have the opportunity to get to know and communicate with him more closely. Now I understand that I married a complete stranger to me, " the girl recalls.

"She didn't turn her back on me": the convict got married in a pre-trial detention center in Karaganda With her new husband And began to live in a rented apartment, there was only enough money for pasta and bread. "However, we did not despair, my husband took on any job, I also did not sit idle. On the market husband was engaged in the sale of cell phones, and I was selling Muslim clothing. In the evenings, his brothers came to us, and they locked themselves in the room for a long time and talked about something. After these meetings, my husband told me that I did not live correctly, that I did not strongly believe in Allah, and that I did not follow all the basics. He taught me to take knowledge from the Internet, listen to Salafi scholars and follow them, " says E. a couple of months Later, she recalls, her husband started talking about moving to Syria. "He said that our Muslim brothers are allegedly fighting there, and we "live in a big way" here.

He decided to go to Syria, and told me to come a little later. I know for a fact that his friends who communicated with him raised money for a ticket through Turkey to Syria.
As my husband taught me, I took my knowledge from the Internet, as it turned out later from unverified sources. I now understand that all the knowledge I took from there does not correspond to our traditional Islam. It said that men should necessarily shorten their trousers and lower their beards, as the Prophet allegedly did, or they should beat their wife when she was guilty of something.

I began to notice for themselves that I began to follow the religion blindly. I had a fight with my parents because my mother bought meat from a person who does not read namaz, that my father and brother do not grow a beard," the girl says. According to her, now she repents that she once contacted her husband, took his word for it, studied according to his knowledge, and did not go to the mosque. "Salafism is a common evil that everyone should fight," concluded ye.
