ASAK wr wb, I am a convert married to a muslim, accepted by my non muslim parents(me & my partner as muslims even if they don't like it at heart). My mom is a victim of physical abuse & my dad has not changed in ages, however their acceptance of my life is still a miracle done by allah(swt)
Now every time I speak to my mom, I feel sad for her since he literally dares her to do anything against him. I feel for her, she was the first who readily accepted me as muslim & supported me. I always feel I failed as a daughter & not doing anything for her since she lives overseas, attimes the grief is overwhelming for me to bear, I should not be getting sad as its kufr to be sad & depressed.
She is kafir just because her parents died and she could not study, with my dad(her husband) she never saw a real happy life, so getting to know islam as a religion was out of question. I am pregnant and this pain & agony grasps me every time I speak to her, my own guilt haunts me and I don't know where to go, what to do.
All the answers I give myself to pacify, it still hurts me to see her suffering. Please help and tell me what can I do... as I am supposed to respect her although she is non muslim, but has a golden heart, who talks about allah as easily as I do, she didn't have any problem accepting & saying allah's name.
May allah protect her.. ameen
Please answer, Jazakallah Khair
Wasalaam Wr Wb

You obviously love your mother, who loves and respects you and your new faith. So how can you say "as i am supposed to respect her although she is non muslim"?

How can you embrace a faith that teaches to disrespect your mother who has been so good to you - simply because she is non-muslim, as you once were? How sad for your mother.

How sad an entire group of people calling themselves Muslim can believe they are ALL to be respected, and ALL non believers are followers of Satan.

How do you believe that?

I do not understand Islam but we have an expert who does - and explains it well. I trust he will come along shortly to help you.
