Al salam akekum.
I am a Christian woman who moved to a new state one year ago, and this past year I have made many Muslim friends ahamdulillah. There is something about them that draws me, and I have recently been speaking to them about Islam and Christianity. I never in my life would've dreamed of converting to Islam, but I also never knew much about it. Now that my exploration of Islam has begun, I have so many questions and doubts about everything in my life. To me, spirituality is everything. Eternity is most important. Choosing to convert cannot be a hasty decision for me.
If Islam proves truth to me, I would of course convert, but I am still very worried what my Christian family would say. My father is a very devoted Christian who studies the Bible every day. My sister-in-law is already not talking to me because she knows I hang out with many Muslims, and she didn't like me using terms like inshaa2 allah because just seeing the name of Allah was threatening to her. This makes me so sad. I know if I convert, my relationship with my family would totally change. This would not be a reason to not convert, but I still worry about it.
My heart is that I just want to know the truth, so I am seeking answers. That is how I found this site.
