How can one embrace Islam and deal with fanatical Christian parents who mock Islam?
The questioner is urged to proceed with embracing Islam by uttering the two testimonies (Shahadatayn), with emphasis that this will save him from perdition, confusion, and the torment of hellfire, and will admit him into the abode of peace. He is reminded that Christ called for the worship of God alone and warned against polytheism. As for his fears concerning his family, he should proactively declare his Islam to himself, and he is not required to inform them now; rather, he can perform acts of worship secretly. He is advised to plan for migration to a safe place for his religion when circumstances permit, with emphasis that migration is necessary for living the religion in peace and security, and that Allah will make a way out for him and provide for him from where he does not expect if he fears Him.
