Hi, My name is Kaviri, I am 12 year old Tamil girl and I’m a revert Muslim. Before I was a Hindu, but I realized I didn’t believe in it and I was just worshipping because my family did. Usually other have a vision, or find about their ancestry leading to their conversion, or a dream, but for me, no - I was just sitting there doing school in September and something struck me thinking "I want to be Muslim". So I did some research then reached out to my Muslim friends. They said Allah is trying to guide me and nothing will stop Him and I should stay on that path. I read most of the Quran and was really interested, then on June 13-14, a girl on social media added me. She was also an ex-Hindu but now a Muslim. She learned about me then gave me some links so I came on www.islamreligion.com and I went to the online chat. The first day I was not willing but the next day I made my conversion and took my shahada through text. Then I met so many friendly people that now I come on here almost every day. I don’t have modest clothing or anything but they explained to me what I can do, so thanks. After my conversion my life has changed, I found a reason to live for because before I thought, ok we're alive now, then we're going to die. Now I realize I’m living for something not nothing. I have told 3 family members, my cousins who are my best friends, the first one was pretty chill and didn’t mind, the second one was very happy for me, but the third one was a little shocked and I can understand why. But I feel happy that I was able to tell them without a worry because I can trust them and love them. But like most converts would feel if their family are disbelievers, I feel the same way, because we believe in Jannah and Hellfire, and you know your family might be in Hellfire unless they convert because that’s what the Quran says. Learning how to pray would probably be hard for non-Arab Muslims especially since they need to know the meaning. I am in a secret conversion so my parents and many don’t know, only my close friends and those 3 family members. I really don’t have much to tell since I recently converted, but yes, this is my story and I hope it helps you on your journey to Islam and I really recommend this website for converting and help.
