🤍 Character & conduct between spouses · #412
My family accuses me of being disloyal and forgetting them because I embraced Islam. What should I do?
Show through your actions that Islam has made you a more devoted child, not one who forgets the family. The accusation usually comes from hurt and fear of losing you, not from hatred alone. Strengthen the relationship: ask after them often, visit, help, and remember their important days. Do not answer accusations with accusations; one good deed cools things more than a thousand protests. Explain gently that your religion commands kindness to parents and relatives. Give the wound time to heal. With perseverance, many families eventually see the good change. See interfaith.
