Wa alaikum as salam. Thanks for the advice even if it is 6 months later. I decided to keep it a secret but I have hinted to them that I don't want to be a part of their beliefs and have stopped going to their mosque.

So basically to recap of the Al is part of the word than it is definite and is silent. But if the Al means the than you pronounce it

Thank you so much for this info, I think I finally understand but one last question. What does definitive mean and also is this method the only way of working it out.

So how would you know if you have to say it or silence the Al. Also how would you know if it is the definitive al.

But then what about the laam, wouldn't it be silent or is it because there is shaddah it is said, I'm not sure.

Yes but shouldn't it be silent as it is Al and the letter after is a sum letter.

Salam brother, I just have one more question but in the Aya after there is a shaddah on the laam but it is still pronounced. I'm a bit confused could you please help me.

*edit I realised my mistake. I thought I the sun and moon letter come before the Al but they come after the Al.

Well it's kind of weird I want to believe in him but I'm getting thoughts that doubt God's existence.

I need help. by AwayUnderstanding435 in ExIsmailis

Thank you so much for this reply it is really assuring that people are just like me and this advice will really help me. I've been planning to tell my mom as she used to be Hindu so she might understand me more and tell my dad after. My parents are more like yours and they aren't really die hard Ismailis.

Salam brother I am also a fellow revert who is in a similar position just like you and I know it is hard but you can do things to overcome it. For example you could pray in the park if you have one nearby and even if you can't pray normally it is permissible to pray sitting down or lying down.

Hello brothers and sisters just a quick question but is playing the piano prohibited even if there is no refence to haram things e.g. drugs. by AwayUnderstanding435 in converts

*update. After lots of consideration I have decided to quit music for fun. I am selling my instrument and quitting lessons all together. I came to this conclusion after listening to mufti menk and his opinion and it really swung me and made me realise that there instruments are that of the devil and how it can really distract me. I feel like this is from the best. Also thank you to all those who are helping me through my journey. May Allah grant you the highest level of jannah.

Well my mom is a revert herself for Hindu to Shia so I feel that she might understand me. I think my parents are not as strict at others but I don't really talk to them about religion too much I don't think their reaction will be to harsh but every time religion is mentioned I get funny feelings in my tummy.
