Assalamu Alaykum I’m a 16 year old girl considering converting, well, joining Islam but I’m scared of telling my parents as they are both atheists and are staunchly against religion of any kind. In addition to this in light of some of the more recent attacks, silly as it may be, I’m anxious about people’s assumptions about my intentions of joining the religion. I assure you, the idea that the idea that initially drew me to Islam was the peaceful aspect of the religion, that and how important family is in the teachings. I know that Allah (SWT) will not burden us with things that we cannot cope with but I fear that the reaction that my parents will have about my religion will stop me from practicing properly and dutifully. In addition to my fears with my family, I am scared of feeling alone in the community due to the fact that I am not close with any muslim people in my school or town and will not have a chance to develop ties with them because of the possible restrictions that may be placed on me because of that. Thank you to anyone that gives me guidance  |

Wa alaykum assalaam Mashaa'Allah sis, that's great to hear! Welcome to Islam . From what i understand, it's perfectly okay to practice Islam in secret until you're full ready to inform your parents. A lot of reverts go through similar issues so don't worry, you're not the only one . I encourage you to reach out to to reach out to you're local masjid so that they can get you in touch with sisters in shaa Allah. May Allah keep you firm on the deen and bless you immensely . Btw I'm 16 too lol. |

Thank you to anyone that gives me guidance I'm MuslimSister Oops, I thought you've already become Muslim lol. Anyway, I'm happy to hear that you've found the truth at an age where most of the youth are struggling today. I don't think it should delay your conversion because we never know when we'll leave this world right? So if you're sure you want to become Muslim then you should say you're shahadah asap . Then you can take it step by step learning how to pray, wearing the hijaab etc. etc. If you want I can be your online support  |

Salam!
I can understand that you'd be concerned about your parents' reaction to joining Islam, especially as you would still be living with them for at least a few more years. If I were in your position, I'd still join Islam and just not advertise it to my parents until you are ready. When you convert, people inevitably have questions and some will try to challenge your faith. It's sometimes best to just center yourself before you have to deal with that anyway. That's just my two cents. I'd encourage you to pray istikara and make duah to Allah for guidance.
As for being dutiful as a Muslim, do what you can. Imperfect practice beats out against no practice any day of the week. When you are ready and able, share with your parents your thoughts and beliefs.
May Allah strengthen you. May Allah guide bless and protect you. Ameen!
PS- Welcome, sis!
