you're going to get the hardest time, the worst sarcasm and insults from your family when you try and become a better muslim, when you try to learn more and practise Islam better.

we've got to have patience and not lose hope. not lose our cool.

and remember:

Abu Lahab - the uncle and neighbour of the prophet (pbuh). the one who went out and celebrate when the prophet (pbuh)'s son died
Abu Jahl - another uncle.

they were Family - and the worst worst worst ennemies of the prophet (pbuh) and of Islam.

and its hard to make dawah to family. especially to older generations. so when it is hard to make talking dawah then the other solution is manners. staying courteous, polite, when they insult the next day you call them.

Relationship with parents: you cannot afford to have a bad relationship with them, direct ticket to hellfire. so why they blow up everytime? when you were a kid you asked for their attention; when you grew up you didnt have any time for them, first they were sad, then they got angry. and the anger just build up. and when they DO manage to get your attention PAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAW: explosion!

so just give them 5mins a day.
and do stuff for them.

when you become more religious and more distant from them, they'll blame Islam for your behaviour and will not want to come to Islam.

the last point is amazing, but i wont tell you what it is. listen to the talk! 26mins
