Masaha Allah we are also excited and glad that we have got another sister in our Muslim family. Advice from sister ayman 1 is really good, take baby steps and practice what you learn. Your family may not be thrilled by your decision now but Insha Allah (God willing) they will when they will see Islam in action. You will have to show patience no matter how much pressure your family force on you to change the decision you made neither you have to feel any burdon or sin if they gets angry with you for being a Muslim. Infact you will have to show them the good example of a true Muslim, who treats her parents with kindness and respect, be they Muslims or non-Muslims. As mistreatment of parents is the Second major sin in Islam. You will have to take extra care of your brothers & sisters and all others who you knows or not. In other words they will have to see major change in your personality after embracing Islam. For that you will have to follow two things, Quran and Sunnah (traditions of our beloved Prophet,pbuh).
Bellow is some thing which you may gonna find interesting:
THE MUSLIM CHARACTER
Some people think that if one succeeds in observing salat (prayer), sawm (fasting), zakat (payment of a certain portion of one’s wealth to the poor) and Hajj (pilgrimage to Makkah), then that person is a perfect Muslim. This indeed is not the case. If observing rituals does not help us to be humble, virtuous and truly God-fearing, then we are not real Muslims.
We can thus summarize the teachings of Islam about the Muslim character succinctly in the following:
Be truthful; don’t be dishonest.
Be humble; don’t be arrogant.
Be moderate; don’t be excessive.
Be clean; don’t be corrupt.
Be reserved; don’t be garrulous.
Don’t be boastful; be soft-spoken.
Don’t be unmindful of others; be loving and solicitous to them.
Don’t be harsh; be considerate and compassionate.
Don’t be insulting and disrespectful to people; be polite and helpful.
Don’t be selfish and miserly; be generous and charitable.
Don’t swear, don’t curse; be refined and gentle in speech.
Don’t be bitter and resentful; be cheerful and magnanimous.
Don’t be greedy; be content, be grateful for what one has.
Don’t be irritable and morose; be cheerful and pleasant.
Don’t be lustful; be chaste and pure.
Don’t be absent-minded; be alert.
Don’t be graceless; be dignified and decent.
Don’t be hypocritical; be sincere and straightforward.
Don’t be cynical or pessimistic; be optimistic and hopeful.
Don’t be doubtful and wavering; be confident and deep in faith.
Don’t be materialistic; be spiritually oriented.
Don’t lose heart or be desperate; always have faith in Allah’s mercy.
Don’t be negligent to your duties; be diligent and vigilant.
Don’t be forgetful of the innumerable blessings of God; be thankful to Him and constantly pray to Him.
THIS INDEED WAS THE CHARACTER OF OUR BELOVED PROPHET(PBUH)
