Chereads / AYSHA'S JOURNEY TO ISLAM / Chapter 3 - FAMILY CHALLENGES

Chapter 3 - FAMILY CHALLENGES

I went through a very bad period with my mom. She

would say to me that I will be a terrorist and I will

leave her as I left my religion and I will leave my

country too. And she would put all pork things in the

fridge and I would refuse to eat it so it turns into a big

argument.

She couldn't stand seeing me praying or seeing me

in hijab. So I pray upstairs in my room. She would

never look at me when I'm in hijab and she would

say: "I gave birth to a Christian child not to a veiled

Muslim."

So we had serious problems, but I was never harsh

or rude with her. But alhamdulillah (thank God)

she calmed down now and she seems accepting that

I converted. I'm really thankful to Allah for that.

Now I go out in hijab, and she doesn't say anything.

I was not talking with my father for all my life and

he didn't want to see me. But now, because of Islam,

I opened towards him so now he visits us regularly.

Yes, my life is a big test but I thank God for it and I

have patience and hope. On the Day of Judgment I

will be very thankful for them. So I'm trying to be

better and better and learn more and more to

understand my religion.

I believe everything is predestined, so whatever

Allah has decreed that will happen to me I cannot

change, but I can choose to live my life nicely.
