Seeking Guidance on Embracing Faith

Assalamu alaikum everyone. I was raised in a Catholic family but I've developed a deep interest in Islam recently. My parents hold very negative views about Islam, and we live in a European country where that's unfortunately common. I'm facing a dilemma-should I hold off until I can move out to embrace Islam openly, or start practicing privately now while keeping it from my family? Any advice from those who've been through similar would be much appreciated.

Been there! Practiced in secret for a year before telling my folks. It was hard but so worth it. Trust your heart and take it step by step.

May Allah make it easy for you sis. Start with small private acts of worship like prayer in your room. It's your connection with Him that matters most right now.

Your journey is inspiring. Allah knows your intention and the challenges you face. Make sincere dua for guidance; He will open a way for you.

Focus on learning first-read Quran online, listen to lectures. Build your faith privately. When you're ready and independent, you can be more open. Praying for you!

Don't wait. The shahadah is a beautiful moment between you and Allah. You can do it quietly. I know it's scary with family, but this is for your soul.
