I am currently going through a difficult situation and i need some help!! Insh'Allah!
I am a revert to Islam and love my religion! Allhandulilah!
Although my choice has not gone down very well with my family!!
I have kept the fact that i am muslim from my family for a long time now, although deep down they are pretty sure that i have changed my religion when thay have asked me if i am muslim i have denied it! Astaghfirallah!:shymuslima1:
Every time i visit my family for some reason Islam comes into the conversation and automatically i defend it. Then my family ask more questions of why i am so deffensive! Abot a religion that is not important to me, and also they are curious to why i am so knowledgeble!
My family have little knowledge about Islam, all they are aware of is what the media potrays. When ive asked advice from muslim friends before but i think it is difficult for Born muslims to understand as they have always had the support of there parents. I have prayed to Allah to soften my parents hearts and make it easy for them to undestand but still the situation is the same! I have tried my hardest to defend Islam and explain that is not how it is potrayed on the tv etc. I have done everything i can possibly think of to mak my family understand Islam better and accept my choive of becoming a muslim but nothing has worked. If anything my parents are more against Islam than before!!
I am at my wits end with this i really dont know what to do!!
I cannot continue to hide my hijab before i go near my parents house! also when im out i am constantly looking around for people my family knows incase they see me in my hijab!!
I dont want to lie anymore and say im not muslim because i am proud to be muslim and feel i want to shout it to the world!! but i dont want to upset my family!
Any advice would be greatley apreciated!! please help!
