Converting from shiism to christianity

[lady92]

salam wa aleikom my dear sisters and brothers, in the name of god. a little history so you understand the event, I got married when I was under 20. my husband was divorced. his wife had been unfaithful. she is european. my husband had two children who were under 3 at the time. due to family feuds 50 years back, his mother did not accept the marriage. my husband chose my side and married me anyway. we are happily married with children and have been married for 15 years. to the point, my mother in law wanted to fight my husband because he married me and allied himself with the ex wife and wouldn't let my husband see the kids. there was always something. today the children are 15 years old and lack a father figure. the kids are mostly raised with my in-laws more than the mom. the mother was a Christian but became a Muslim during the marriage but is now a Christian. I saw the daughter carrying a cross, being in church and reading the Holy Angel. I felt very uncomfortable. this goes against the first verse of the Koran that we worship only one god and our creed. the girl is lovely but lost. we have met them a maximum of 5-6 times during these 15 years. Shirk in Islam is the greatest sin and unforgivable. what do you do?

I think that bond of her mother is more stronger than your bond with her. So, I think, it would be wise to treat her well instead of trying to force her to Islam. It may happen that if Allah (عزّ وجلّ) wills she will out of her own volition asks you about Islam and you guide her but if not then even you cannot make her convert to Islam. So, in the end, in both ways, you will have a good relation with her.

The mother of the children might be guilty of shirk if she genuinely converted, not "converted" only to marry, but the children are not if they never were taught about Islam. Following what they were taught is simply ignorance. The Quran refers to Jews and Christians as believers, just misguided. I would advise keep good relations with the children, and pray for their guidance, but do not push them at this time, as it is likely to only make them move away from your husband's influence. If you maintain contact and good relations, when they are adult, you and your husband can gently teach them about Islam and let them make a choice.
