Facing eviction as a new Muslim at the start of adulthood
Assalamu alaikum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuh. I embraced Islam about a month ago, and my parents just found out two days ago. I come from a Christian-Catholic background, and in my area there's been a growing Muslim Arab community since I was young. So I've always been around Islam, but only this year did I really become interested. A Kazakh coworker gave me some advice on a personal issue and encouraged me to read about the Prophet (SAW). That's when my love for Islam and Allah (SWT) started. My parents got suspicious when I started growing my beard, and one night my mom found the Prophet's biography on my desk (bad move, I know). I lied and said it belonged to a friend and I was just holding it for him. But I'd left other Islamic books on my shelf, and my parents took them away. I had to beg to get them back so I could 'return' them, but I didn't. A couple months later, I said my Shahada. My mom had warned me she'd kick me out if I converted, and the sheikh at my masjid advised me to keep it low-key and not change too much. I tried, but one night I wasn't careful and left my phone open, and my mom went through it. She found out everything, and my parents lost it. They took my prayer mats and thobes, and what worries me most is they've taken my Qur'an. They've told me they're starting a court process to evict me, so I'm basically on a deadline. College starts soon, and my mom said she'd pay since it's community college, but I'm not sure that's still on. I've been so stressed that I've missed a little over two days of prayers, and my iman is really low. What should I do?
