Assalamualaikum Warahmatullahi Wabarakatuh
I (a christian who wants to convert upcoming friday) have been interested in islam for quite a while now. I have told my father who is a strict christian 3 months ago that i want to convert to islam. This was the hardest and most difficult conversation i had in my entire life since i had to hurt my dad and see him hurt because of my life choice. We did not speak for 4 days until we spoke again and he brought up certain subjects regarding to christianity which i had no knowledge of at the time (this was mostly cultural related). I have done my research for the past months and my heart lies with islam. Last friday i wanted to speak with my dad that i have made my final decision, but unfortunately, that specific day, he got fired from his job. He was very upset about it and i didn’t want to give him another kick in the gut by telling him i have made my final decision which he will not like and even get to a point of me getting kicked out of the house. I called and texted some muslim friends with the question whether i should do it in secret or not because i know his mental health would decrease even more because of this. I’ve been told that if it affects him to this extend (and probably even further) i should do it in secret and show my parents (especially my dad) that i don’t change and only become better. Show him that muslims are respectable people and show the love and respect for parents how is teached in islam without him knowing.
My heart is set, and i know what i believe in. But i am still scared for upcoming friday. I’m also very excited. I feel like i’m going behind my parents back. Is this the right choice i’m making regarding to do everything in secret? I love my parents to bits but knowing that this life choice will cost our connection and bond makes it really scary.
