You want do be a Muslim but your family disapproove what do you do?

Answer 1

Hi there,

First of all I'm happy to know that you want to become a Muslim and i hope Allah guides you and me to the straight path.

If you think about the non-Muslims who have entered this religion, you will realize something amazing. Not a day goes by when someone does not enter Islam, and each and every one of them has a story. They have no worldly interests to be served by entering Islam, rather they all entered Islam out of conviction and with firm belief that it is the true religion.

Although I would like you and your family to be guided, I hope that they will not be an obstacle that prevents you from being guided to this religion. Remember that the Day of Resurrection will inevitably come, On that Day a man will flee from his own brother, mother and father, and each of them will have enough concerns of his own to make him indifferent to others. So hasten to save yourself first, then pay attention to your family and strive to guide them. Do not let anyone come between you and true guidance. On an airplane, in the event of an emergency, they say to put the oxygen mask on your own face first, then turn to those beside you, i.e., save yourself, then save those who are next to you, even if it is the dearest of people to you. In our religion, Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning): "Ward off yourselves and your families against a Fire (Hell) whose fuel is men and stones" [al-Tahreem 66:6]. So you have to look after yourself first; hasten and do not hesitate to join the blessed caravan led by the Prophets and Messengers, and remember that you will be following the truth and the straight path that was travelled by that elite of Allaah's creation.

Do not waste the opportunity that is within your grasp, and do not give anyone the chance to distract you from entering this faith.

I ask Allaah to guide you to that which He loves and which pleases Him. I ask Him to help you to do that which is good and is in your best spiritual and worldly interests. I ask Him to hasten your guidance, for He is able to do that.

And Allaah is the Source of strength.
