I am 16 years old. A couplemonths ago, I met a boy. He then told me he
recently became Muslim. He was talking to me a little about what the
Quran says and I mostly believe everything was true. I know that Allah
hasto choose you. I believe hechose me when I was in class getting
ready to takea final exam and someonein the class asked if they could
pray, he's Christian. Then a girl asked "Wait, is anybody in here
Muslim?" In my mind I said to myself "I'm Muslim" and when they bowed
their heads to pray, I didn't participate at all I just sat there and
looked around the room.
I feel like apart of me wants to be Muslim, but I am scared of what my
family will think. And if I did become Muslim, I feel like it would
break my grandmas heart (she's Christian) because she always asks me
to go to church with her and I am basically her only good grandchild
all the rest are in and out of jail and etc. Also, I feel like my
mother will have a hard time respecting my decision and question me
about it. I know for sure I have a lot more to learn but for right now
I am going off off what I know so far. I feel like all my life my
family automatically mademe a Christian without mehaving a say so.
They automatically put mein a christian pre- school and so on. I never
got a choice to explore religions and find out what I really believe,
so I've now pronounced myself undecided but I do believethere is a
God. I was hoping someone will respond to this and give me some advice
on my situation and enlighten me some more on the beliefs, customs,
and way of life of Muslims. I also have a lot of questions as well.
Thanks for your time whoever reads this and whoever responds, its
greatly appreciated.
