Asalaam Waleikum....
I reverted about a year ago right before Ramadan, reasons I do not with to share...but other than that it has been a hard road. My parents are hindu disbelievers, we come from India, and if anyone knows there is a lot of hate between Hindus and Muslims there and hence my father is a strong opponent of Islam, when they found a copy of my Quran last year, i was ready for the worst but pulled a little and said i wanted to learn the truth and not what my family had told me about Islam. Me and my father fight on a daily basis as he ends up discriminating and saying degrading things about Islam. I have not told them yet of my reversion. I know that the minute my father finds out it is either the streets or death for me, neither one which i can afford. I am very lost in this world now, but very happy as i learn something everyday. i have found peace in Islam that i never found in Hinduism, a sense of direction and a strong focus in life. i read the Quran on a daily basis and pray as often as i can. hiding this from my family is hard, specially now during Ramadan, but i take it as a test, i need to pass. nothing comes easy in life is a lesson i have learned multiple times, but in the end the reward is sweet. |
