Salamaleykum everyone.
Ive been studying islam for few months now using different sources of internet. The new muslim videos are the most comfortable information u can get bout the feelings new muslims have after reverting. Im saying this because, aproximatelly one year back if i recall, my friends, who is muslim, told me to search on my own bout islam. I kept asking questions bout it but it was better to find out on myself. And i started to look for websites in order to find out more. I had this feeling that what i read was right but of course at first i was seeing islam as a 'new religion', like majority of nonmuslims do, and it was as if it was messing up everything my mother tought me in my whole life. So i read once in a while bout islam but it wasnt a continous search.
Only this autumn something happened. My friend wanted to show me live images from Mekka on watchislam.com but it didnt work. So after few days i wanted to see if it works and from link to link i found the revertion of the ex preacer Yusuf. That vid made me be sure of islam and see it wiht different eyes and thats when i started doing a deeper search on it.
A month ago i said the shahada, being alone at home, after someone gave me the pronounciation. I noticed there r people who say that u can do it on yourself, which seemes logic coz God knows u did it and maybe your r somewhere lost and u want to be muslim, or some who say that you need witnesses. So im not sure if God is considering me as a muslim or not. But one thing is sure: that i cant practice it for now, thought i cud hide from my mother but still i cant do all 5 prayers, and im not happy bout it. Also since i said shahada something happened that made me stop studing islam as if i had a feeling that i know almost everything, which is not true, and not practicing it made me feel even more down.
Im realising i have to tell my mother bout it first for herself and not only for me to be able to practice islam wihtout hiding from her but its my duty now to save her from the fire. And who knows what can happen, nobody knows when one can die, so i have to do something wiht my life.
Thats why i told you my story so that someone can help me wiht my problem: how do i tell my mother about islam, step by step, wihtout shocking her. I think it would be better if i make her realise the truth of islam instead of telling her i am muslim coz she will not want to hear anything about it then.
Thank you.
