I feel so violated?

Question

My mum forcibly blessed and forced me to take part in a prayer with a priest this would normally be fine except she is catholic and i am a muslim what can i do to stop this from happening again my mum thinks she is totally excepting of other religions but then she does stuff like that

Answer 1

This goes deeper than just religion.Remember your mum loves you and she thinks she is doing the right thing trying to save you.
Try to find a quiet time alone with your mum in a non confrontational way try to explain your feeling to her . Express the fact that you love her and appreciate her concern for you but ask her to respect your point of view and you will respect hers.

Answer 2

Man i can understand ur feeling, she doesn't respect ur choice and religion......

But u know, she is still your mom anyway, and Islam tells u you must respect her and try to make her happy., so it doesn't matter if u attend a christian prayer while being Muslim deep inside,,,, long ago our dear prophet Mohamed (pbuh) allowed his fellow Muslims to hide their religion if declaring it will bring them harm.

So stay strong, try to satisfy ur mum without affecting ur religion and believes....

Contact me if u need further help, i totally understand ur situation, ALLAH with you in sha ALLAH.

Answer 3

What I am wondering is, are you really a muslem, or are you just rebelling against your mother's religion forced on you?

I would also recommend you analyze what it is about your mother's religion that drives you away.

Then, after all is said and done, look at the real Jesus, not just the Jesus that men have created, but the Biblical Jesus, and find out about Him in the Bible.

Answer 4

You may wish to calmly and respectfully reason with your mother at a moment when their is no crisis situation.
If it does no good, while the priest is praying, say your own private prayer in your heart.
Allah can hear prayers that aren't said out loud, can't he?

Answer 5

nth you can do . this is the part where some people hate religion . just live your life.

if your mum love you more than you love her , she would convert to the same religion as you . for a mother will go anywhere with their child if theres hell , she wun mind.

if you love ur mum more , you will do the same thing.

hard choice , it suck , but i choose to be with my parent. not easy , hard , i am bombard with fear that i am going to hell

Answer 6

This is one of those situations where you just pay lip service to the religion to make your mom happy. You know you don't believe any of it. You know you're just doing it for your mom. Just smile and nod and then go back to your own religion.

Otherwise, you just have to sit down with your mom and have an intelligent conversation about the whole deal.

Answer 7

Religion promotes discrimination. The basis of religion is "think as I do or you will be worse off". When you realize this, you will see that your mom is just exhibiting this religious discrimination. Sorry, but Islam is not any better. In fact it is worse. In the bible, Jesus simply says to kill those that do not wish him to be king (Luke 19:27). However, in Islam, Sura says to chop off the fingers of those and then "smite them above their necks" all those that do not follow allah. (Sura 8:12,13 and Sura 2:216)

Answer 8

"My mum"? What are you, from England? Anyway, next time just mention your Islamic leanings to the priest. Did you do that?

Answer 9

Just tell her! Say that you understand her intentions but that this just doesn't work for you the way it does for her and that you would like to make your own choices regarding how you worship whatever giant imaginary friend you believe in. If she actually does mean well, she'll understand and let you do as you like.

Answer 10

How can someone force you to pray?

Just tell your mother flat out that was hypocritical and wrong and that in the future you do not want to be included in her catholice rituals.
