I Corinthians 7 says if you have an unbelieving husband and he be willing to dwell with you, not to leave him. It also says how do you know whether you will save your husband? I Peter 3 gives some advice on this.
I think you should be honest about it. Let him know you still believe in Jesus and cannot participate in his religion. If he wants to divorce you, then you decide what to do.
Do you remember the story of Jacob and Esau. God wanted to bless Jacob, and from the womb, it was His will that the elder should serve the younger. But how did Jacob go about getting the blessing? He lied to his old blind father, a terrible thing to do. In spite of this, God still accomplished his will. Joseph's brothers sold him into slavery, but Joseph later realized that the purpose was to bring about a great deliverance, and his brothers and their families were delivered through him. What his brothers meant for evil. God used for God.
You did wrong by going through a religious conversion and marrying a Muslim. But that doesn't mean that he isn't your husband. You need to repent and do right going forward. Being married to someone of another religion is difficult, but God can give you the strength. And you do not know the Lord's plan. In spite of your mistakes, He could choose to use you to win your husband and his family to Christ, in spite of your sins, and in spite of your mistakes.
As far as converting to Islam is concerned, I am against Christians doing that. I do see a difference between doing that and denying Christ, though. Do you just repeat the five pillars to convert to Islam? Peter said that he did not know Jesus, and found forgiveness.
A Mus1im converting to Christianity isn't a life or death issue for a lot of people in your country is it? Would his family persecute you? Do you live in a village or community that would persecute you?

Toska thanks for praying..Presidente,no there is no death or life issue on this, my husband also not really a moslem, the religion is only a label for him, for his reputation n job,being "moslem" is important because 90% of the people in my country are moslem. He said from the beginning that he wouldnt marry me if I am christian, so yes he will divorce me if Im back to christian.I know the consequences if I do this.. please keep praying for me..
Are you sure you need to leave your husband? He will probably be angry but is it possible that he may accept your choice without divorce? Paul speaks about a believer being married to an unbeliever in 1 Corinthians 7:14....here's a link to that teaching:
1st Corinthians 7:14, What does 'the unbelieving husband is sanctified' mean?
Of course, if you're in physical danger, you need to find safety.
Praying strength and guidance for you....He always accept us when we repent. What a loving God!

I think we are living in a world where many people will be asked who their God is, and we will be threatened with terrible consequences if we don't renounce our God. We see it in how so many governments are making laws that oppose God's commands like abortion and same sex marriage, for instance. Christianity is forbidden anyplace that is labeled public, so Santa is allowed where the manger scene is forbidden.
You are faced with some of the same decisions we will be faced with. If you carefully read all about Daniel and how he handled this, I am sure it will be a help to you. Daniel thrived so in a country that worshipped other Gods that he got to be in a position just under the leader of the country, yet any time he was asked to deny God he would not do that.

Are you using Jesus as an excuse to leave your husband? If he is laid back and only cares about appearances, then you need to tell him the truth about the fact that you are a Christian. Don't make plans to divorce, until you find out his reaction.
I pray you will be able to save your marriage, and your husband will see your witness and realize he needs Jesus too!
