parents
assalamu aleikum warahmatulahi wa barakatuh sister,
I have been going through the same thing as you, my parents were really against islam, especially my father, so i had no idea how to tell them. I left books of islam in my room so that they would see them and ask me about it, my father got furious and told me to get this rubbish out of the house, my mother didnt like it either, but she asked me about it, i told her in a moment when my father went to bed that i really believed islam. She started a little discussion about wat was so special about islam and why i didnt look at 'our own religion' (christianity) I didnt know a lot about the position of jesus in islam, so i told her i didnt believe the story about standing up after death and that the whole story around jesus'life was strange. That was something she didnt like ofcourse and we ended up in a period of denial, she didnt want to know about my religion and i didnt want to tell her anything as long as she felt i was crazy, that is so wrong, alhamdoelilah, now i can talk about it to my mother, but it would all have been so much easier if we could have talked about it from the beginning. So the first thing i would recommend if you dont want to tell it straight away, leave some things around the house so they are gonna ask you questions. And second of all, do not get angry. Its difficult for them too, because you are choosing another way of life than they had expected for you. And do not attack their religion if they have any, that will only cause drama. tell what you like about islam and that you want to be a muslim, and if they ask you questions you dont know the answer to, tell them that you dont know but that you feel this is the right way of living and that you can search for the answers to their questions, in this way you show them that you are serious about islam, and that you take them seriously as well. inshallah, may Allah swt make things easy for you.
