I have just reverted to islam and I don't know how to tell my parents. Ok I have been wrapping my head and stuff, but I don't think that they are for sure. I know I should tell them. And I know that Allah will help me too, but any suggestions on how to break it out on them.
Thank you for all your inputs.

Congratulations sister, Aslam Allikum. This is a hard one because you dont say what your parents opinion is on Islam. But i would just approach them with honesty and explain why you have made the decision and that you are happy. Answer any question they may ask you and assure them that becoming a Muslim is a happy occasion. After all, all any parent wants is for their child to be happy and to have found their path in life. If they come back with negative response's which Insha Allah they dont, give them space and time and pray for Allah to you embracing this faith. Peace to you sister and Masha Allah on becoming a Muslim.

Just tell them they might surprise you.
Ibne `Abbas states:] “I questioned the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him and his family): Which deed is the most beloved in the eyes of Allah, the Mighty, the Glorious?” He (peace be upon him and his family) replied: “(Offering) prayers at their stipulated times.” I then asked: “Which is the next most beloved deed?” He (peace be upon him and his family) answered: “Goodness towards (one’s) parents.” I asked him again: “After this which is the most beloved act?” He (peace be upon him and his family) said: “Jihad in the way of Allah.”
Prophet Muhammad (s) has said: “There are three things which Allah, the Mighty and the Glorious has not permitted anyone to forsake: returning a trust to its owner, irrespective of whether he is a good person or an evil one; fulfilling one’s promises and covenants, irrespective of whether it has been made to a good person or an evil one; being good and kind towards one’s parents, irrespective of whether they are good or evil.”

If you reverted to Islam only means you had left Islam or the practice of Islam. For what ever reason you returned it's in your heart and Allah will be with you. Simply tell them the truth on your decision and let them know you would want them to respect you on your decision. Remember it's not religion that will get us to heaven; only FAITH in the all Mighty God/Allah will we see heaven. AMEN! SHALOM!

Just tell them that Islam has made you a better and happier person..and isnt that what your parents should really care about? Its not like you killed someone..you have just discovered a religion that is personally helping you grow as a person.
I hope your parents will understand..Insha Allah.
God bless

first i really appreciate your strong spirit, and congratulation of knowing Islam, truly God guides whom he wells.
i will first practice Islam in secret, step by step, don't tell them everything now. step by step such as, first bring the subject to their attention, such as i am interested in the history of Islam. then later talk to them about Islam, day by day they will get some idea that you have interest toward this religion. then when you reach to the age of which you can be in your own, you reveal to them the truth, which they will not be surprise after all. and you are getting such a great reward for this effort. and Allah bless you dear.

How about? God is not a righteous God. I am good enough as I am and have no need to be saved by a righteous God. God owes me salvation for all the good things I have done and will do. Jesus did not die and had he died it would have been a waste as we have no need of a savior we can be rightous on our own. God allowed man to make a liar out of him until Muhammd came to make things right.
