It took me 10 months to eventually tell my Mum I was a muslim. I had spent the 10 months washing and hiding my thobe, hiding my Quran and all traces of anything islamic along with saying I was going Gym when I was in fact going Masjid (I at least went inside gym just so I wasn’t lying).
I had been thinking of loads of different ways to tell her and outcomes and I literally pumped myself up one day when I had come home from the gym and said to myself “tonight I’m telling her!”
I sat on my bed petrified but prayed 2 rakah asked for guidance and walked into the front room and said “Ma I have something to tell you?”
“I’m a Muslim”
And then I started crying.. Like I had never done before. It was like my heart had been relieved and I had no weight on it anymore. No more hiding.
Because I had always been worried of what people thought of me converting and I was scared of my mum finding out any other way than me telling her.
Anyway, I was crying and crying. Saying “you can kick me out if you want” “It’s okay” I was just a mess and my mum came over to me and held me in her arms and said “it’s okay and I’m happy you told me” then we just sat and talked and it was really nice and then I said “may you iron and wash my thobes now” she said “I can’t have my only son going to the mosque rugged”
That was amazing tbh.
And my dad it took my 11 months to tell him.
I sat with him one Sunday morning and just said “dad I’m a Muslim”
He said “I can tell son”
I thought because by then I had a beard and stuff.
But he went on to explain how I had changed as a Son and become a better person and he noticed how I had stopped partaking in activities he wasn’t proud of and he even went on to say “I’m happy you a Muslim”
Then I took him to the Masjid I go too and took him to a talk for new muslim parents literally 2 hours after I told him.
Now I’ve been a Muslim for a year and a half and my mum buys halal meat and they are very supportive of me.
So I thank allah for this blessing. Insha Allah one day they’ll revert to islam and I remain making Dua for them.
Sorry this was really long.
Barakallahu feek for your question.
