Salaams- New Muslimah from U.S.

[sm1]

Salaam alaikum,

I am a new Muslimah from the U.S. and I want to learn more about Islam, but I' having some problems with my Christian family. They never accepted my conversion to Islam and they've been trying to stop me and keep me away from learning more about Islam and my Muslimah friends... I need some advice, please, I want to leave my home inshallah, I'm 20 and I'm dependant on my family, but I want to know if there is any way for me to leave so that I may live my own life and practice Islam they way I should inshallah...

Salaam sister sakeena , firstly Masha Allah for your great sacrifice and determination you have made so far. I advise you to consult (maswayrah) other knoweldgeable muslim sisters you may know in your locality and SF before you make any decision, and at the same time, i may not know how difficult it may be to cope with your family, but the best thing you can do , is show them LOVE, and character, more than ever before, this will hopefully soften their hearts, once they see the change islam has made on every apect of your life, At the same time, try to ffer 2 rakaats salaah, and make dua to Allah for the help you need!!

MashaAllah Thanks for the du'as!! Awww I have more good news too!!!

I really need some advice. A pious brother I met in March asked to marry me and I said yes. Alhamdulilah. I'm so happy with him and I want to be with him inshallah. We have a lot in common and we're compatable masha'Allah!!

But my mom found out and read my txt messages and went through my phone and has ordered me not to see him. SubhanAllah... What should I do? I hate to anger my parents but I don't want to give up an opportunity to be happy and please Allah swt inshallah. I love my family, I really do. But I want to live my life as a Muslimah and if they can't accept that then I'll be on my way inshaAllah.

I'm trying to stay positive about everything, but I feel so overwhelmed and afraid of what my family will do if they find out I'm still talking to Iqra... subhanAllah... Allah knows best if we're right for each other, and I'd be so happy to be his wife inshaAllah. If not, then Alhamdulilah anyway. :hijabi:

I'll give more details later inshaAllah. Please keep me in your du'as inshaAllah.

Salaam alaikum wr bw!!

Jazakh Allahu Khair

sister,

wa iyyakum

you should pray 2 rakaat of istikhara as per sunnah and insha Allah, Allah will show you signs as to whether it would be good to marry the brother.

Haha, you can't stop a new Muslim from learning about Islam and from Muslim friends ALlah will send many, many friends and guides your way, inshaAllah - keep praying - you will be stunned when you look back in a year and see how you were guided every step of the way =)

Stick around, sis - there are plenty of reverts here - we LOVE when a new friend joins us!

What Kayra says is so true. I´m a revert as well, and I´m always happy to welcome a new member to our "family". May Allah bless you sis

Also, I would advice you to go easy on your family. Things take time, sis. It´s not easy for them, so I would let them now things gradually and gently. I know sisters who had families who could not accept them as Muslimahs at all in the beginning. Today their parents even compliment them on their hijabs, or even offer to buy some hijabs for them if they are travelling to e.g. Turkey.
