I am thinking being convert to Muslim?

I am just 18 years old and I am interested in Islam since my childhood but I'm from Christian based family ....I am afraid that I don't have any chances to seek for Allah...I am always practising the Islamic living and praying to Allah by my own method to ask for Allah to guide me to the right path..I am worried that my family can't accept me if I am converted into Muslim..I believe Islam has a universal message that would appeal at all times and to anyone who is at the very least willing to engage in meaningful dialogue concerning the Islamic faith, it's adherents and our role in the global stage...I am also believe that there is nothing in the heavens nor on earth that deserves worship except Allah, the One True Creator.

Update:

"We will show them Our signs in all the regions of the earth and in their own souls until they clearly see that this is the truth..." (Surah Fussilat 41:53)

Islam and Christian even Judaism have the same main beliefs ( Tawheed) that there is only one God which is Allah in Arabic. Allah is a name that is neither feminine nor masculine, and it cannot be made plural (unlike god, gods, goddess, etc).

    Salam You are welcome to enter Islam and be a good Muslim You should continue to learn and understand the Qur'an and hadith as life guide step by step everyday. You are still too young to be independent financially So it is better you make a secret about your thinking being convert to Muslim You must wait until you are independent in financing your daily cost of living if you afraid that your parents will have an objection of your plan to convert Really Islam is opened for all races,tribes and skin colors Really I do agree with you that nothing in heaven nor on earth that deserves worship except Allah swt the One True Great Creator. Really Islam,Christianity and Judaism have the similar Allah with the same beliefs (Tawheed) that there is only one God

    Romuldo, it is best not to ask advice on here. As you can see, there is too much hate on this site (and especially in this section) because everyone hates the next person who doesn't believe the same stuff they do.

    However I know a young woman (also around 18-20 years old) who also converted to Islam. She attended the local mosque and took classes to understand the Quran + the basics of Islam. Sadly, her family rejected her, but she moved on and now lives with one of the ladies she met at the mosque.

    One of the tests in this world is seeing if you prioritize your worldly desires e.g. material things, conformity etc.,before your faith. I know that I don't really have a right to say this because I DO tend to care about what others think of me, but you seem a lot more steadfast in your faith...if you truly believe Islam is the right path for you, go ahead. You are almost an adult and just because your parents brought you up Christian doesn't mean you are deemed Christian for the rest of your life and for your children, grandchildren etc. Do you have any Muslim friends? If your family does not accept you then you will always be welcome at a mosque....I'm sorry I did not really help, but (Inshallah) you will find the right path

    Masha'allah, congratulations on wanting to embrace the truth.

    I'd suggest you convert (proper term revert since everyone is born in submission) to Islam as soon as you are ready, and then introduce Islam to your family little by little. I am sure they will accept you and your new decision, insha'allah.

    Yes, Islam is God's religion for mankind, universal and timeless.

    None has the right to be worshipped except Allah.

    There is no god but Allah, and Muhammad (saw) is the messenger of God.

    Do not think of what is appealing to you but what is true. Religion is not where you do what you feels right but what is right. Allah is not holy. He did exist as a human but is a false prophet. Islam was based off Christianity. That means it's a changed form of a religion. Islam is technically made up. Trust me I have studied religion all my life. Islam is a false religion you should not get mixed up and I have no personal benefit from telling you this.

    To the 1st answer I admire uour attitude... yet you r incorrect. Islam isn't undesirable, the people who deturpate this faith are undesirable... in accordance to Islam there is not any proper to marry a 11 years previous woman, yet people who make it deturpate what it says... as properly they might argument that the Prophet (S.A.W) married his final spouse while she replaced into 11 there is not any information that he consumated the marriage till she replaced into 18!! as properly that when the prophet died his final spouse replaced into the single that command the religion for it sluggish. PPl says undesirable issues approximately Islam yet in realty isn't with regard to the religion however the people and the flexibility they want. Answering to muslim converts... i don't understand. i'm hoping that the Islam do no longer actract extra loopy ppl that thinks that they desire to do undesirable issues in the call of ALLAH, it is undesirable. I admire the different religions besides, simply by fact the prophet additionally mentioned while one woman asked him approximately what she might do approximately simply by fact her mom replaced into christian and had to have fun the christmas along with her. He spoke back her "appreciate your mom and settle for her provides, yet remmember which you're muslim and pray as a muslim for the happiness of your mom."

    If Islam is where you find your heart and where you feel closer to God, go for it. if you feel that in Islam, you can serve God better with your strong faith, then convert. my point is look at your hearts purpose. if it is for the better, follow it :) , no need to delay.

    I doubt that your Christian family will object to you converting to Islam but make sure that's what you want to do because leaving Islam may require your head.

    Good luck kid.
