Don't convert because of your boyfriend.
But if your doing it of your own choice then just tell them. Any parent who disowns their child is a bad parent.

I suggest you go and speak to a sheikh. If you don't know what that is here's what is means.

A sheikh is like a priest or a bob.

I wish you good lock, and I hope you convert to a Muslim

Man o man ur parents..... i wish i could be there to see they face wen u tell em. well no they wont accept it at first if at all. yes christians are usually very judgemental of other religions and very quickly. And yea his parents as muslims will probably be just as judgemental considering both religions dont condone interracial or interreligious relation....i think #nonbiasedwordsofanatheist

Do what you want, I hate catholics.. they are very racist, unrespecting, mean, harsh, and a lot of other dirty words that I do not want to say. They exploit people for profit using Gods name in vain. Good luck! The islamic faith is a hard one to believe in, but very powerful once you know why you're doing everything they do.

[Q]

These are your decsions and you have to make them with your own moral compass. If you do not believe you are Catholic anymore then your parents cannot tell you otherwise. HOWEVER if you still rely on your parents for financial support you might want to be warry. They are still your parents, and they support you....but something like this can easily cause enough tension that it can ruin a relationship for decades. I personally wouldnt lie about this, but make sure that you are definettly 100% sure that you believe in Islam. Even then I wouldmake sure to brake it to them gradually.

LOL. At least I overtly troll. That is good.

Your bf is not important as he is only a mean to your enlightenment. Grab this opportunity and study more about the religion. Once you are convince of the truth, Allah will take away all barriers and obstacles from you, insha Allah.

About Islam: It's your life, so do what you feel is right. Islam is a beautiful religion and ignore any opposition you are faced with because no one, especially your parents, is going to hate you for it or hold it against you. I say to really take time to learn about Islam and don't rush into anything.

About the guy: Again, do what you feel is right. And in Islam, you are allowed to see each other, but no touching or being alone. If you feel that you shouldn't be together, then break it up, but nobody can make that decision for you and you must do it yourself. It seems as though you aren't ready for this relationship. My advice would be to just give it all some time, and focus on one thing at a time. Before you begin a relationship, you need to find out who you are first.

Hope I helped looool good luck with life!

You're in a really hard position, i know myself because im dating a muslim also, ive been with him for almost 4 years now so ive learnt alot of morals and values of the religion, 1st of all to convert is to do it only for god (Allah) even though you migth think you are doing this, think deeply about it if your doing it for the right reasons, 2nd a big part of islam is respecting your parents especially your mother, so if there un-happy you might have to wait untill they atleast get used to the idea before you convert, they may never be happy but try your best to please them, islam is not just a change in religion it is a lifestyle, telling your parents is going to be hard so slowly introduce the idea. ex: telling them your studying about it, saying your visiting the mosque, all different things don't dump it on them straight away, no-one really relises the true meaning of islam untill they have read the Qu'ran so read the whole book then decide, make sure you 100 percent sure because its a massive thing, ive been thinking about it for almost 3 years now and i still ahvnt made my desicion. Islam is a beautiful religion, but people will judge you because of the media and unexperience dont let that get in the way though. good luck.
