Quietly Keeping Faith in a Christian School

Assalamu alaikum, brothers and sisters. I’m a sister who embraced Islam, alhamdulillah, but I have to keep it hidden. I go to a school where most people are Christian, and my family is Christian too. Every day, we have Bible lessons, discuss Jesus, and pray in a Christian way. It makes me really uneasy, and I worry about falling into shirk without meaning to. I fear the day someone asks me directly, ‘Who is your god?’ and I might feel pressured to say Jesus (astaghfirullah). They also make us memorize and recite verses from the Bible. I know Allah can forgive many things, but shirk is something He says He won’t forgive, and that terrifies me. What should I do? Any advice or du’as would mean so much. Jazakum Allahu khayran.

Salam sister, remember the story of the people of the cave. Allah protected them. Trust Him, keep your faith quietly, and make du'a for guidance. You're not alone.

Keep firm, sis. Allah doesn't burden a soul beyond what it can bear. Your fear of shirk is a sign of iman. May Allah grant you ease soon.

Sis, your situation is exactly why I make du'a for hidden Muslims everywhere. Memorize the morning and evening adhkar, they're a fortress. Hugs.
