I have been a convert for 2 month so far. I havent told my parents about it. My sister, other close relative, and friends know about it. My mother and father are both very anti-Islamic. They are very narrow minded and believe it is a evil religion and they believe all the fake things said about Islam. Recently my sister talked to my parents about converting to Islam they became outraged and said they would kick her out the home and not support her if she converted. I dont know should I tell my parents or wait until I move out for college? I am currently 16

As salamu Alaikum brother,

Firstly i would like to congratulate you on your decision to become a Muslim. May Allah make this time of transition ease for you Ameen. About your parents, if you feel like they will kick you out then maybe you shouldn't tell them right now. I think the best thing for you to do is go to a local Mosque and speak with the Imam or better yet if you know of any scholars of Islam then ask for their advice. May Allah grant you ease and guide your family members to this beautiful religion Ameen

wa salam

Ayman

Assalaamu Alaikum,

I would give you the same advice as the previous poster about going to see an Imam or a scolar. Also, if you know of any people who have converted, then maybe you could talk to them and ask them for advice (or simply hearing their story might give you some ideas as to how to go about this).

Keep praying and ask Allah for help and guidance. It is nice to see that you have at least one sibling, some family members and some friends who are understanding and support your decision. Give your parents some time and inshalla they will come around someday.

First of all mashallah, mubrook and al hamdolilah...

You must realise that a parents love for their is unconditional and they will have to accept you for who you are and not for the religion that you choose to follow.

Maybe you could try to negotiate it with them and seek refuge from the shaytan at all times and when speaking to them so that tension does not become worse.

Don't worry inshallah your not the only person.

Your poor parents..i kinda feel for for them..its a big change especially since they think Islam is evil..they are worried for you and your sister and are protective of you both which is only natural...what you can do is increase their knowledge bit by bit..get them books to read good books that dispel the myths surrounding Islam. Sit with them and discuss with them in a calm and civil atmosphere. If you can't do that and you're the best one to know your specific situation then maybe you should tell them after you've moved.

Wow yeah man. I guess you should slowly educate them about Islam. Salutes to you for having the guts to convert despite the fact that you're risking getting kicked out.

Asslamualikum Mashallah May Allah make it easy for you to practice Islam and make this time an easy time for u .......Make lots of dua(prayer) to the Almighty Allah he is the All-hearer,the All-knower and he is the most merciful.....
Inshallah Allah will guide your parents and they will come to realize the beauty of Islam and with all of our duas here on this Forum Inshallah they will revert to Islam....... seek the help of an Imam or some knowledgeble person in your community......... Hope all works out
