Hey Nairalanders, I'm a northern girl who hails from Adamawa state. My both parents hail from adamawa, thesame local government but different villages. They're both christians. My mum died 2006 and my dad even remarried before her death. The 2nd wife is from a muslim home but converted to christainity for reasons best known to here. Since then we've been living in peace although she hasn't bore a child yet and I don't think my dad is considering marriage.
Right from childhood, I've been around muslims, I've always admired their religion ofcourse apart from the jihad and terrorism. But every other thing about them I love. Now, I'm thinking of converting, I've let my muslim friends know about my decision. But what I'm not certain about is if to let my family know about it, because I know the consequences that would come with it. I'll be disowned and thrown out of the house. But my mind is made up already. I don't know what to do. I'm the 1st daughter and we're just 2gurls.
I know somany of you will condemn me for this but I'm ready to receive all the condemnation and insults from my christian brothers and sisters.

You mentioned jihad and terrorism as the things you hate about Islam. Likewise be specific with the things you love about it.

Why do you want to abandon Christianity?

UyiIredia:
Why do you want to abandon Christianity?

Isn't it obvious from his post ?
Can't just stretch your mind a little bit?

Here is a guy who was born and raised christian. He mingles with people from another religion , and then finds that religion more meaningful than the one he was spoonfed with.

And you're asking him why he wants to abandon Christianity?

Isn't " The Cisis Of Meaning " a reason to abandon a religion, any religion ?

@bold 1- especially the underlined, eternity is a personal race but it's unfortunate that you decided to choose your own on the LEVEL OF ADMIRATION.

NOTE: There are many things to admire in life but there are a great stumbling block to eternity.

This your case made it evident that throughout your Christian life you never had PERSONAL UNDERSTANDING AND ENCOUNTER OF JESUS Christ just as Christ instructed through Apostle Paul says "Wherefore I give you to understand, that no man speaking by the Spirit of God calleth Jesus accursed: and that no man can say that Jesus is LORD, but by the Holy Ghost." 1 Corin 12:3 and as Christ Himself said "Jesus answered and said unto him, if a man love me, he will keep my words: and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him." John 14:23 Just as many people who profess Christianity are just Church goer like you today.

The interesting part of these two passages is that both address INDIVIDUAL NOT A RELIGIOUS GROUP OR LEADER with "No man & a man"

@bold 2- Let it be known to you that you're not the first person who convert from Christianity to another religion or no religion nor you will be the last, well I know some people will actually condemn you but the truth is they are not God and majority of them might even be dying in ocean of fear of rejection either from family, friend or work sake if they take such step because many people only claimed to be Christian but deep down their heart they have no connection with the Author of life and the Lamb who takes away the sin of the world.

If you're scared that if you tell your parents about the decision you're considering, you will be disowned and sent out of the house; I can understand why you're considering islam.

Its obvious the family you grew up among were not really the very Christlike type. No Christlike christian will disown his or her daughter for considering change of religion.

Granted, your choice is truly a decision of eternal consequence. But what they should do is keep you close and keep praying for you, not send you farther away from where you can receive godly counselling and the conviction of the Spirit.

That was what Jesus did for Peter when He knew Peter was about to deny Him.

Luke 22v31 And the Lord said, Simon, Simon, behold, Satan hath desired to have you, that he may sift you as wheat:

v32  BUT I HAVE PRAYED OF THEE, that thy faith fail not: and when thou art converted, strengthen thy brethren.

Jesus prayed for Peter when Peter was been tempted to deny Jesus. And that's what we should do too.

Infact I just checked your profile now, and saw your other thread topic about how your father reacted because you had a spill over in school and didn't serve with your mates.

Its obvious, your father's character is partly what is responsible for your confusion about christianity.

But I blame you partly for that. At your age and how long you've been a professing christian, you mean you're still judging Christ and christianity by the character of others?

Can't you study the bible for yourself and find out who Jesus is from His word for yourself? It means you never really developed a strong personal relationship with Jesus all the time you called yourself a christian. That was why the enemy was able to sneak in and confuse you.

I always tell believers this, that if someone else's carnality can make you lose your faith in Christ, it means even you yourself never had a strong relationship with Jesus. You were not a disciple of Christ, you were a disciple of man's ideology.

But I must tell you this, Jesus is the Messiah and the Son of God; and He died for your sins and rose for your justification. And salvation is only through faith in Him and what He did.

Talk to Jesus in prayers, and ask Him to help you. Stop defining christianity by the character of unchristlike people, and study the bible for yourself to know Jesus, asking the Holy Spirit to help you.

I pray Jesus will strenghten you, that your faith in Him will not fail.

Shalom.

Yes we can.

Befitting:
Yes we can.

In Islam, there's high regard, from us Muslims for family at large. And there are certain red lines which we shouldn't cross, hence when we face crucial issues like this, caution must be taken so as not to invade others sanctuaries.

Parents should be treated with utmost respect and care. Their directions should be placed before any other, and their ideas shouldn't be treated with contempt. And if we must turn down their offers, we must be diplomatic as much as posible in doing so. We should let them see what we saw which they don't. And should they fail to come to terms with our opinion, then the judgement should come from God, The Most High.But, if it's only a worldly matter, where whatever decision we make don't incur any sin from God, we'd be rewarded if we honor our parents by accepting their wish over ours. The only situation where they have no say is when they are against what God's law stipulates.

Now, you know your dad than anyone else and can tell how he is likely to handle the situation at hand. So in order not to get yourself into what you are not ready for like being disowned, you need to keep your conversion to yourself for the mean time. Of course, you can't hide it from him forever, but let it be at a time he'll respect your decision. And if he's not going to respect it, his disapproval and consequence actions will not be too burdensome for you to cope with. Especially being a female child, who has lost her first sympathizer (mother), you may not be able to handle it if it explodes untimely.

For now, start learning about Islam, read books by reputable scholars and ask about whatever you don't understand on this forum. You can start practising your religion (Islam) after taking the Shahada as circumstances permit.

As regard your family, you need to start communcating with them through your actions. Show your household as well as neighbors the the virtue of Islam... Let them perceive changes in your life. Let your household know what good you are bringing in from afar. Be a light that illuminates your community at large, like that it will be easier for you to come out clearly when the time comes.

She just feels left-out of the fun her friend her having. You can call it, peer-pressure. Who wouldn't want to hang out with friends?

Sorry about loss. . Mothers are very important in every girls life and i hope ur step mom has been good to u.

WELL, This is a major decision, its always very important to pray to God before making such decisions.

U seem to be a very smart girl...u decided to seek advice before making a tough decision. .

The bible says in

Where there is no guidance the people fall, But in abundance of counselors there is victory.

There are a few things u need to knw about mohammed

■Mohammed slept with a child, 9 year old baby
Aisha.
Sahih Muslim, Book 008, Number 3311:
'A'isha (Allah be pleased with her)
reported that Allah's Apostle (may
peace be upon him) married her
when she was seven years old,
and he was taken to his house as
a bride when she was nine, and
her dolls were with her;
and when
he (the Holy Prophet) died she
was eighteen years old.


■Mohammed killed people eg meccans, pagans, Jews etc.
Are u okay with a "Prophet" that kills people


■ Mohammed command his followers to fight people based on their beliefs

Qur'an (9:29)-"Fight those who believe not in Allah nor the Last Day, nor hold that forbidden which hath been forbidden by Allah and His Messenger, nor acknowledge the religion of Truth, (even if they are) of the People of the Book, until they pay the Jizya with willing submission, and feel themselves subdued."

Sura 9:5. "When the sacred months are over slay the idolaters wherever you find them. Arrest them, besiege them, and lie in ambush everywhere for them."

Christians and muslims have had a long history of struggle because of verses in the quran like this calling for tre subjugation of nonmuslims


■mohammes slept with and have sex slaves.

Should a prophet be sleeping with sex slaves when he alread has 9 wives. . Isnt this morally wrong.. should a prophet have sex slaves??

Qur'an (33:51) - "You may put off whom you
please of them, and you may take to you whom
you please, and whom you desire of those whom
you had separated provisionally; no blame
attaches to you; this is most proper, so that their
eyes may be cool and they may not grieve, and
that they should be pleased"

This is in reference
to a situation in which Muhammad's wives were
grumbling about his preference for sleeping with
a slave girl (Mary the Copt) instead of them.
Accordingly, Muhammad may sleep with
whichever wife (or slave) he wishes without
having to hear the others complain...

He had a harem of sex slaves.


■ MUHAMMAD commanded his followers to sleep with captives their right hand possess.
When mohammed raided christian and jewish villages he allowed his jihadists to rape captives which they captured (right hand possessed). Mohammed was a warrior and not a prophet..he was a very smart warrior who used religion to aid his agenda and bring arabs together.


■Mohammed married more wives than Islamic Allah permits Muslims.

Mohammed married over 11 women during his time including 9 at the sametime..bear in mind he claimed allah gave all muslim men a limit of 4 wives.
Is it proper for a prophet to disobey his own god.



■ The quran claims that no miracle will be performed by mohammed.

When mohammed was asked to perform a miracle he claimed in the quran that allah will not perform any miracles through him because he sent a she camel that was murdered in disbelief,..

Here let me remind u from the quran
Surah 17:59: “And We refrain from sending the Signs, only because the men of former generations treated them as false: We sent the she-camel to the Thamud to open their eyes, but they treated her wrongfully: We only send the Signs by way of terror (and warning from evil).” (Yusuf Ali)

in the bible all prophets were associated with miracles and prophecy. ..

■mohammed contradicts himself or abrogate quran passages because they where contradictory to earlier revelations

Note that the bible spans over 3000years with no contradictions, however the quran was recited by mohammed during a 23 year period and is filled with contradictions which muslims cleverly call abrogations in an effort to deal with the contradictory nature of the quran. .
Some Muslims prefer peace eg the salafists while others are quick to embrace violence eg the sunnis and shites. They dont seem to agree on much and it is as a result of the contradictions littered in the quran


■ mohammed permited the murder of his critics.

Click my topic on the matter for details
https://www.nairaland.com/2700785/why-critics-mohammed-murdered-islamic

He murderd a nursing mother who criticized him, a 100year , hand maids who mocked him years earlier in mecca before he left for medina...


■ mohammed permited Muslims to beat their wives.

Qur'an - 4:34 Men are the protectors and maintainers of women,
because Allâh has made one of them to excel the other, and because
they spend from their means. Therefore the
righteous women are devoutly obedient (to Allâh and to their
husbands), and guard in the husband's absence what Allâh orders them to guard (e.g. their chastity, their husband's property, etc.).
As to those women on whose part you see ill-conduct, admonish them
(first), (next), refuse to share their beds, beat them, but if they return to obedience, seek not
against them means (of annoyance). Surely, Allâh is Ever Most High,
Most Great.


Bukhari Volume 6, Book 60, Number 466: ...The Prophet then mentioned about the women (in his sermon). "It is not wise for anyone of you to lash his wife like a slave, for he might sleep with her the same evening."
Ie. - beat her but not quite as viciously as you beat your slaves because u many want to have sex with her--

■Mohammed asked people to drink camel piss and milk for good health?
This is according to muslims records in the hadith. The people went mad and killed the prophets camels and mohammed recaptured them and gouged out their eyes, and cut of their fingers and limbs and left them to die in the desert heat.

■Mohammed said apostates should be killed?
People who abandon islam are to be killed according to mohammed.
Of course this wont happen to u in nigeria but in most islamic countries u will be killed for leaving islam.

■ mohammed said he can't guide anyone.

Why would u want to convert to islam when even the islamic prophet says he cant guide anyone around the time of his death.. apparently his conscience got to him.


■mohammed said muslims should cut of the finger tips of their enemies.
This is not prophet like..


■Mohammed in both the hadith and quran claimed muslims will be taken to hell and he will lead their entrance to paradise from hell.

Sahih Bukhari, Volume 1, Book 12,
Number 770:
....He will order the angels to take out of
Hell those who worshipped none but
Him alone.The angels will take them out
by recognizing them from the traces of
prostrations, for Allah has forbidden the
(Hell) fire to eat away those traces. So
they will come out of the Fire, it will eat
away from the whole of the human body except the marks of the prostrations. At that time they will come out of the Fire as mere skeletons. The Water of Life will be poured on them and as a result they will grow like the seeds growing on the bank of flowing water…”

First the hadith say"he will oder the
angel to rescue those who worship Allah
alone" what will people who worship
Allah be doing in Hell ?
Secondly the hadith say "Allah will forbid the fire to consume the mark of
prostration " is the polytheists
(trinitarians inclusive) now have the
prostration mark on there forehead ?
Thirdly the hadith say they will came out from the fire as 'mere skeletons' am sure you know God will not rescue sinners on hell, so it was the muslims who Allah is rescuing here.

Sahih Muslim, Book 001, Number 0349:
“They (the angels) would recognise
them in the Fire by the marks of
prostration , for Hell-fire will devour
everything (limb) of the sons of
Adam except the marks of
prostration. Allah has forbidden the
fire to consume the marks of
prostration. They will be taken out
of the Fire having been burnt …”
If the first hadith is a weak one am sure
this one isn't.



my prayer is that now u know more about mohammed that u educate people who are considering islam and save them from the a huge mistake.
Shalom.
