Request:
I reverted to Islam from a Hindu background 3 years when I was 1_. At the current age 2_, I have still not told my parents about my faith, and I am afraid to do so because of their reaction. Can you please pray that my parents hearts soften to Islam? I fear offering salat in my own home because my parents will see me. My family does not have a very positive attitude for Islam, and they question why I am so interested in it. I want them to all embrace Islam.
On another really important note, can you prescribe me any dua or taweez for self-growth? Since childhood I have been very lazy, introverted, not good at making friends, in-confident in speech, nervous, etc. I am afraid to ask a question in class in front of everyone. My focus and concentration is low. I am also not self-disciplined.
Response:
No need to tell them and open a war front. Bear with patience and pray for them. By improving your spiritual state Allah Most High will attract them without a word.
For concentration and speech read Surat al-Mulk and Salawat on the Prophet. Make bayaa if not already, and wear Mawlana Shaykh Nazim (Allah bless his secret)’s Taweez.
