What is the ruling on a 14-year-old girl embracing Islam, and is she obligated to declare her conversion despite her family's opposition and her fear of social ostracization?
A believing person sacrifices for their religion, for Paradise is surrounded by hardships and requires patience in the face of harm. The more a believer perseveres, the greater their reward and higher their ranks. It is good that you did not raise your voice at your grandmother. Try to avoid going to church as much as possible, for a woman is not required to go to the mosque. Strive to wear the and perform the five daily prayers at their prescribed times, even if it requires balancing them with your study times. Good conduct wins people over. Do not delay embracing Islam; pronounce the Two Testimonies of Faith and perform the prayer. You do not need anyone's approval to embrace Islam. Seek out Muslim sisters for assistance.
