Being Christian is being "Christ-like." The Muslim faith denies the Deity of Christ... why convert (down)? A religion or faith that denies Christ is God is a cult. I'm not sure if your family would reject your decision--you know better than me what they'd do--but I'm sure that God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Ghost would take issue with your conversion--never the less, it is your decision and God honors that--after all He (not Allah) gave us free will. Why not try seeking the Kingdom of God and His righteousness before jumping ship.

What is more important to you...serving God to the best of your ability or serving your family? I'm a Christian and I would never consider converting to Islam...but not at all because of what my family thinks. Now, if you are a child and are still being supported (financially) by your family, that's a different story...I'd advise waiting until you are older and able to support yourself just in case they do turn against you. But if you're independent already, you have to follow your heart. I think it is the wrong decision, but I support 100% your right to make it!

If your family is a Christian family, they should respect any religion, not just the Christian relgion. If they do not, tell them how you feel about the Muslim religion. Tell them that being a good Christian means to accept other religions as well. Make sure you research everything on the religion so that you can tell them all of the good things about it.
Muslim religion is a beautiful religion. Be whatever you believe is true and right.
Also, if they say that Muslims are suicide bombers, explain to them that most Muslims live in the Middle East and that not a lot of people in the Middle East can read or write. Therefore, con-artists who really do want to hurt the U.S. convince these children and iliterate people that killing people and themselves will get them into heaven automatically.

Assalamualaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuhu
May peace, blessings and mercy of Almighty Allah be on you.
The word Revert is appropriate than the word Convert.
You may not have to tell... your parents in early time..... just follow commandment of Allah wich is given in Quran... Like Five time Saala (prayer)... don't eat pork, Alcohol, Drugs... etc.. Keep good relation with our parents... and take a good care of your parents.... make your Emaan strong... read the Quran... in Your Native Language... When your parents see the good and the holly change in your self... they will give much priority on your ...opinion in every thing... that's the time to Announce about your believe... if you are not mature in age or in financial.... than you can wait for your.. time... but remember don't disrespect your parents even if they make you out from house... don't cut relationship... but convence them by the beauty of you and Islam.
Al Humdolilla..... Brother..... I wish Almity God... Make your path easy for you and make all the false barrier perish from your path.....

If they are Christian they will not do that but you will and must reject them because you are now Islam and they are not.

They will know some day .. and they might stop talking to you for a while ... but after that, they will be ok with it ... but don't quit on them just because they will be of a different religion ... all religions have the same goal .. to fulfill human happiness and Morals ... May god bless

it's how dedicated you are to islam thats important, is it worth falling out with your family? why don't u talk to someone and see wat they think? at the end of the day its your desicion whats the worst that can happen? they will have to eventually accept you for who you are if u decide to convert.

it is your life and your choice,we should take many decisions in our lives away from every one around us..because it is our responsibility towards ourselves ..
I advise you not to tell them immediately ..but you have to do it someday..and keep treating them with care and love..because you have a big duty towards them even after you convert to Islam..

Masha allah and congratulations on your intentions.. My brother pleasure of Allah is far greater. You could hide the fact and when you are capable let them know. It can be hard especially for the family to accept but then take examples of the Prophet and Sahabas and how they did make things happen inspite of major hostilities....
May Allah help you in this regard
