Just needed to talk to someone, you mind? I am so upset! I am a new revert and I cant do anything right. I have websites and movies, and people help me. May be I am just stupid. I do my best to learn my prayers and I practiced them all night tonight. So during morning prayer I messed up a little but I thought I did pretty good, and was very happy with myself until I remembered I totally forgot to raise my finger. It is so much to remember.
Sorry I took your time. Just felt like talking to someone

its perfectly alright [sister], u are at a stage of learning and when we learn something we always mess up at the beginning. Remember the first time u were learning how to ride bike, i bet u, u just didnt knw how to ride it the forst time u sat on it, it took a while to get used to it and learn how to ride it. So basically every new thing u start will not go well from the start u will fall down but the important bit is, is when u stand up again and try it, dont give up, if u feel u are doing somethin wrong do it again, dont get tyred of repeating.
and i wish u all the best

inshallah we can help..may Allah strengthen your imaan and keep you steadfast on deen and may he grant us all jannah inshallah Ameen!!!cheerup none of us are perfect in deen matters....we are all learning to be better people.....inshallah we shall benefit from each other....

Upset for what??? You're so lucky to have found the straight path, soon you will realise how beautiful your life is, and hey you're not stupid!!. Hope you will benefit from this useful forum, althouth there are a few dodgy people, i should say, but thats where the fun comes in...

Enjoy you're stay with our Islam.

Thank you all so much. I just wish I was born and raised ina Muslim family, so I would have avoided so many mistakes and sorrows. People just dont understand how lucky they are.
Can you answer me, if it is ok to learn prayers in unappropriate places, like I am doing it- in traffic jam or while exersising? It does help a lot

Just to add to my question it is not Holy Quran I bring to gym to practice, I would nt do that, I just made some printouts. Is it ok?

walikum salam

aaww sis hang in there and be strong we are all here to help u out

if u have some problems learning surahs or doing prayers ive created some interactive tutors on my page so u can check them out if u want

Sister we are human beings and mistakes do happen. I have a friend who reverted a while back and she is still in the process of learning. Just because we were brought in an Islamic environment, doesnt mean we know everything. We are all students sis till we die. So dont be upset and take your time in learning.

Quran can be taken to everywhere but the toilet and dirty places. You can learn your prayers everywhere sis.

Rome wasnt built in one day sis. So relax and enjoy your life. .

i feel the same as you do sister..i am also a new Muslim and was raised as a Jehovahs Witness...so its difficult but i believe Allah know's how hard we try or dont try.......but i'm glad we can learn verses on the bus or in the car...or at the office......this makes learning so much easier......Allaha sukur....

peace and strenght to you my sister and to all of you.......amen

Asalamu Caleykum sister congradulation for you becoming a muslim. Dont be upset just cause you messed up but try focusing on what youre saying in prayers then you'll be able not to forget but dont pressure yourself and take your time learning it. Allah knows best.

Hey we're all humans...I've been a muslim all my life...but I make the most stupidest mistakes you can think of.....Don't worry, Allah is not non-negotiable...LOL...U'll get there in the end

Its okay sister

It takes time to learn

Inshallah you are not stupid just learning


Practice.Practice makes perfect

Inshallah you will get the hang of it soon

Just make dua to Allah

We are not Born perfect.We make mistakes

And Allah knows

SaLaMz sister and welcome to the forum

Sister, u r SO lucky that allah finally guided u to the right path. I'm facing struggles rite now with my professors and am astounded by the fact that altho they know sooooooo much about deen and its beauty, they still havent become muslim! I mean it's truly only those who allah WILLS to guide who will be guided, and who he chooses to remain unguided, will remain kufaar. It's sad looking at thier plight but guidance is in allah's hands alone. So do shukr that allah chose YOU from all the ppl out there.

As for being born Muslim, yeah its an advantage but it doesnt make that much of a difference unless you discover the deen yourself to discover its hidden treasures. Due to the fact that we are born muslim, we tend to take advantage of it and take many serious matters lightly. We CLAIM to be muslims, yet in essence, we are not as practising, devout believers as we should be. May allah guide us all onto the striaght path of righteouness and help us to follow each and every one of his command's to the letter in the quran insha'allah. Ameen,suma ameen.

And whenever you have questions, feel free to ask them. We should never feel shy for the deen, because a question that you have may seem "stupid" but in reality it is not. May allah make it easy for you and all of us muslims.

Wasalam

hey sister where do u live ???? maybe i can help u ..that is if u live in New York
