Assalāmu ῾alaykum wa Rahmatullāhi Wabarakātuh
Jazakillah for writing to us about your tragic situation. Sister, this man has been fooling around with you and the other lady too.
He appears to lack dignity and he does not fear Allah Ta’ala.
He is a very poor example of what a Muslim man should be.
You have unfortunately fallen into his trap.
It does not ;look like he will be prepared to take any responsibility for you or the child.
You should consider going to the masjid for help as you have thought about it already.
Explain your situation to them , including your husband’s failure to take care of you and the child.
Find out how they can help you.
Alhamdoelillah you have accepted Islam and you are concerned about raising your child as a Muslim.
Insha’Allah you will receive help at the masjid. If you do not have any finances nor any financial help, then you do qualify to accept zakaah money.
Please do not hesitate to ask the masjid for help as soon as possible.
May Allah Ta’ala protect, guide and assist you out of this difficulty, ameen.
And Allāh Ta῾āla Knows Best
Wassalāmu ῾alaykum
