A mother-of-three who renounced Islam has claimed her two sons want her dead because she turned her back on the religion.

Nadia, 40, who has withheld her surname, is so scared for her life that she is reportedly hiding in a safe house in Melbourne with her 18-year-old daughter.

She has opened-up about her time in the religion and her fears surrounding her sons in a tearful interview on Channel Nine's A Current Affair, to be aired on Tuesday night.

A Melbourne woman claims her two sons are trying to kill her because she has renounced Islam

It has been reported Nadia's two sons arrived at her home she was sharing with her new husband in October last year - and she claims they threatened to kill her.

'They were screaming we're going to kill you, we need you dead, we need you dead this is our family's honour,' Nadia said.

She added that 'It is in an honour for them to kill somebody whose turned away from Islam', even if it is their own mother.

Nadia said she renounced Islam about a decade ago, having converted to the religion when she married her former husband.

She said her family had thought 'anybody who is not Muslim is rubbish'.

Police allegedly found firearms in the possession of the two sons when they caught up with them following the October incident, A Current Affair reported.

Nadia's interview will air on A Current Affair on Tuesday night.
