Seeks,
Salams,
To you I will also say..WE DON'T KNOW WHAT HIS FAMILY HAVE REALLY SAID.
I know muslims say it is ok to lie to your parents. I just don;t agree with that.

Shawn is living in a completely different place and time to the Prohpet's companions)pbut). It is not an ideal world..some care should be taken.

I DO care about his life after this life.very much so. So if he becomes muslim and then rejects it later on, is that not more harmful for him then? Should he not be warned about this?

I am just suggesting that he thinks and prays really hard about this before making his mind up.

Seeks, tell me what your family would do if you became a Christian tomorrow? Would they reject you? What would they do to you?

All religions are true to some extent. People choose what they want, but they should learn enough basics first. After all it is a life changing decision.

some of us are a lot like cement:- all mixed up and permanently set

Well, i did tell my parents. My mom brought me to the mosque on tuesday. We walked in a store right next to the mosque, which had Muslims from the mosque in it. We talked to them and told them that i would like to convert soon. After talking to them, they invited me to come back on friday, and this time to go inside the mosque. The older man said that he knows someone that could help me that is around my age, and that he could translate the arabic into english for me. I think my parents have realized that I'm serious about it, and are starting to warm up to the idea. And as far as losing friends, i am not worried. If they are true friends my religion won't matter, and I'm sure my family will stand behind me in anything i do. I'm excited to return to the mosque on friday, and will update you all on what happened

Asalamualaikum,

I would like to say that everything that you are saying is affecting Shawn. Some of you are encouraging him, and others are scaring him. I think that Shawn is capable of realizing if this religion is right for him or not. Shawn needs guidance, the rest is up to him. Personally, I think that as soon as he is 100 percent sure, he should convert because there are alot of people who can help him learn what he needs to know. May Allah guide him.

I agree with what you are saying. I don't want to rush it, and i think about it everyday, if it's what i truly want to do. Surely i doubt myself just like any human would, but at the same time, I've always decided that I want to convert.
