Shaherald Ramadan Series - Ep.9 - How Did Our Families React to Us Being Muslims?
Channel: Shaherald
Date: 18/04/2022

In a world where Islam is seen as a religion of oppression, jihad, and terrorism, many reverts face the challenge of telling their parents of their newfound faith, fearing that they may not be allowed to embrace Islam. 

Due to misinformation in the Media, misconceptions, and prejudices, many families and friends of reverts either became surprised, angry, or very protective of their children if they wanted to embrace Islam. Some even hurt or disown their children and chase them out of their homes. Some take them to their religious healers to reconvert them. 

These experiences may be terrifying or sad, but beautiful it is when a believer holds on to their faith. In Surah Al-'Abkabut (Chapter 29 - The Spider), Verse 2 of the Qur'an, Allah (ﷻ) says, "Do people think they will be left alone after saying "We believe" without being put to the test?"
