    I am seriously considering conversion but I have one concern. How to deal with my friends and family once I break the news to them? It's not affecting my decision but I know I'll here the usual objections. What is the best way to deal with this? Thanks.

    Re: family and friends

    Well you know best what your family is like bro

    Depending on how open minded they are I would hope that explaining to them your reasons for wanting to embrace this faith would be enough to have their support.

    Most non-muslims seem to be supportive of the freedom to choose right? I only pray you have a similar situation.


    Besides once you have islaam... the peace kinda takes over,

    The HIGHEST accomplishment I can achieve in this worldly life is to be a TRUE MUSLIM. (me)

    Re: family and friends

    Well, decide when the best time would be to tell them. There may not even be a best time, in which case you don't necessarily have to break any news. You know them best, so you should try and pick the road of least resistance. I don't know if you're expecting backlash, but if you're still living with and are dependent on your family, and/or you run the risk of seriously harming your relationship with them, then you might want to hold off on any unnecessary announcements. Your conversion is first and foremost a personal thing.

    If you do end up telling them, hopefully they can respect your decision.
