not to well

[darren]

I told my mum I was a Muslim but she didn't belive me and is telling me im not a muslim. I feel sad knowing that my family wont support me.

it may just be the shock brother, give her a little while to get used to it and inshaAllah she will come round.
May Allah make your affairs easy for you!

^ I agree.. And also, don't decrease the compassion that you're showing her. That in itself might help to turn her heart in favour of your decision and of Islam InshaAllah.

Ameen to the dua.

It may be that she genuinely doesn't believe you but through your actions, it should soon become clear that you are indeed a Muslim.

I am trying to see this from the perspective of your mother ...

You have just spent two years becoming a Jedi ... and now you suddenly declare that you are a Muslim.
Of course she must think this is just another phase, another teenage patch her son is going through ...
(To be honest, that's what I would be thinking if I was in your mum's shoes ...)

I think as a mother she will be looking for signs of whether you are serious or whether this is just another phase.

Try to think back, how convinced and serious were you about becoming a Jedi?
Is you interest in Islam the same? Or is it different?
Will you be looking for something else in two years time?
(You may only be able to answer these questions in a little while, with the benefit of hindsight, but I think these are serious questions for you to consider)

I guess your mum thinks that only time will tell how serious you are ... and she is probably right!

Given that you seem to know very little about Islam at this stage yourself, I suggest that you give yourself and your parents some time.
Be patient!
Love and respect them!
And let God work in all your lives!

Peace :)

the non-support sounds passive and not active. alhamdulillah for that.

there are some converts who get disowned for being muslim. i know of a convert scholar in my area who got kicked out of his house when he converted like 30 years ago.

it will be ok. just find a good masjid and get involved. make them teach you your deen.
