Challenges as a Revert with Unsupportive Parents

Salam, I’m a revert. I embraced Islam as a teen without my parents knowing at first. They still carry a lot of hurt about it. When I started wearing hijab, they weren’t happy at all and made me remove it. I still wear it secretly to school and with my friends. How can I help them understand that I should wear hijab? I asked them to talk with an imam, but they completely refused. I’m really scared. I want to wear my hijab properly. What can I do to make this easier? Can anyone please make dua for me?

Have you tried showing them reverts’ stories online? Sometimes seeing others’ experiences helps parents understand it’s not just a phase.

Been there. I started with just wearing it outside the house, and slowly they accepted it. It’s a journey. Don’t lose hope.

Sis, I feel you so much. My parents were the same. It takes time. Keep making dua and maybe show them how happy it makes you through your actions, not just words.

May Allah make it easy for you. I’ll keep you in my duas. Remember, you’re doing this for Allah, and He sees your struggle.
