Feeling Heartbreak As My Family Stays Away From True Faith

Assalamu alaikum, everyone. I was raised in a family that followed a different religious path thinking it was Islam. It didn’t bother me much until I got older. When I was younger, around 12 or 13, I struggled with belief in Allah, so I began listening to Islamic scholars and speakers. Alhamdulillah, my faith was rebuilt-but I wasn’t practicing much back then. My family always taught me their way was the real Islam, but after deep study, I saw its mistakes and Alhamdulillah reverted to the true Deen. I’m older now and have kept my feelings hidden. They’re pretty laid-back about religion and just assumed I was the same. Recently, Allah has drawn me closer to Islam, and I’ve started sharing doubts with my mom, gently hinting that her path might not be right. I showed her clear evidence like the hadith about Isa AS coming back and Quran verses where he’s lifted to the heavens. She denies it, saying translations are wrong or it’s about status, not literally-even when Allah’s words are clear. Sharing debates doesn’t help either; she just ignores them. It really hurts. My family comes from a place where their group faced persecution, so they hold on tighter. They’re not highly educated and rely more on personal stories than logic. It’s tough seeing them blind to the truth. I fear for their hereafter and make dua every day that Allah guides them. It’s painful watching them stay in ignorance, but I won’t lose hope in Allah’s mercy.
