Arabic term or phrase: وهي على دين أهلها.
في أحد الأيام لم تسمع أمي صوت طرقات ولا صوت سقوط شيء ما من شقة مهدي، وإنما سمعت صوت فوضى واضطراب، أشياء تقفز وتحط على أرضية السقف بقوة. السقف يهتز. صوت صراخ يصل ككلام غير مفهوم. خافت أمي على خولة أن يمسها سوء من جنون ابنها التائب فهي لم تتب مثله، فبيت الشاكر من الشق الأيمن من الحارة، وأهلها لم يعتنقوا الدين الجديد، وهي على دين أهلها

she follows their embrace


Explanation:
Given the fact that the translation of the preceding phrase would contain the words 'her", "family", "embrace" and "religion, it would sound somewhat odd in English to once again repeat the same wording. That is why I believe that the translation of this idiomatic Arabic expression غلى دين أهلها in this specific context can be rendered as "she follows their embrace". This is while taking into consideration the addition of some adverbial conjunction such as, likewise, yet, still, or nevertheless…etc; something which a native speaker is more at home to find out which is which and the most appropriate amongst them.
