Are you afraid they won’t accept your decision? Why didn’t you discuss it with your family first? I would of thought it’s something they would want to know about and be a part of.
Well... It's a bit of a long story. I live in a town of 40,000 people. I don't know if there is another Muslim in my town. The closest Mosque is 117 kilometers away and I don't have a car.
I have been learning Islam with the help of a guy online who specifically helps with reverts who are in tough situations. I feel that if I told them I reverted to Islam from online, they will take it super badly or simply not believe it.
Thus I learn and practice in secret. Allah is understanding and forgiving, and if I have to eat port or not fast this Ramadan, then I repent and ask for forgiveness and he understands. Because keeping safe, especially as a new revert, is especially important.
So my plan is to get a working vehicle (old one kicked the dust), cruise to the Mosque for a day or two to speak with my brothers and sisters and learn from them, as well as picking up a Quran, then coming back to say that I have reverted.
Some family may still not like me, but that is their issue. My life and my faith is not their issue, and I don't seek to annoy them with it.
No, not quite. People who don't practice Islam who then do are Islamic reverts because in Islam, it is that all are born Muslims, even if they don't practice (I think, don't quote me on that. My memory of that explanation is a bit foggy.)
Thank you very much my friend. I think they'll understand in time
