As many of you know, I am a new muslim convert and now I've got a female friend who's thinking of becomeing a Muslim and I'm not sure how to handle this.
Any advices would be welcome.

subhanAllah! take her to the local masjid! Insha'Allah she'll learn alot by seeing the practices of muslims at the masjid, after that a talk with the Imaam would be a good starting point

There is no Mosque in my or her town and there is one in a town near her. I converted thought a convertion web site. The only real muslim she had met is me but she might of met a muslim when she visets the nearest big town to us.

I haven't step foot in a Mosque yet since I converted as I'm quite scared about it. I also don't know where the mosque is in the big town.

sister, once you find a masjid please please do NOT hesitate about going into it as I assure you, you'll be most welcome. Just choose your time carefully so that it does not clash with the prayer but Insha'Allah you'll be fine. I cant help with telling you where your nearest one is unfortunately, sorry.

great, Welcome in Islam. You should tell her whatever you know about Islam, and together you should learn more about Islam, if there is no Imam to tell you.
Use this forum, here you can read about Islam.

I wouldn't say that...you never know these days. My dad told of how he took somebody that wanted to convert to Islam to a mosque and the people in that mosque didn't even seem to care. He ended up having to take him to another one.

Point is, if the first experience you have in a mosque is negative, don't assume that all mosques are like that. Don't let bad attitudes displayed by any muslim put you off Islam, because really, muslims are by no means perfect.

May Allah make things easy for you and your friend, ameen.

Thats unfortunate, but good advice brother.

Masha'Allah

I must say, I feel a bit defeated knowing the difficult conditions of many Muslims and seeing what little support they are getting...

Sister Thana's post today, was a real eye opener, and perhaps I shouldn't bring another topic to this one at hand.. but here we have a sister working a very difficult job, where she is at the mercy of her bosses approval, threatened by being homeless from her family should they find out she is Muslim and I believe the only real netweork of Muslims she experiences is through this forum... like wise if someone has some questions or doubts, or just needs support where should they go, who is there for them? whom can they turn to for help? The forum is nice and all..but isn't there some organization to address and foster the needs of Muslims and would be Muslims?

I am not sure what help I can personally offer, but I am throwing this out there and hope someone takes notice of the needs of the growing Muslim population, of whom 5 to 1 are women...

come on people let's help our sisters or find them the help they need
insha'Allah

Where are you to in Dorset, sis? Im moving back down to Somerset in a few weeks, Insha Allah, so Ill come meet you and your friend if you'd like.
Ive never been in a Mosque either, and Im by no means good at salat (which Is why I need to visit a Masjid, lol!), but I could help you out, Insha Allah, if youre really new...I hope.
I wouldnt exactly be local, but I didnt get a driving licence for nowt.
I also need to meet other Muslims face to face, because otherwise I just stay at home and act like an anti-social muppet.

i think this is good advice. share with her what brought you to islam and learn together.

Asalaamalaykum sister,
I was the same. It took me a month before I went into a Mosque, but you meet so many cool people!
If you have any problems, I've found everyone is more than willing to help.
Really, it's not as scary as it may seem before your first time.

if you clink the load islam link at the very top left, there are some resources there.

you can google Yusuf Estes who is an American chaplain that converted to Islam. he has some very good lectures and posts alot of stuff about people reverting(my wife loves to go to his site.)

also try Bilaal Phillips, who does a more serious lecture type talks, but he's VERY bright.

there are Halal tube and Islam tube that you can google and they are VERY similar to you tube.

look for some Shaykh Khalid Yasin on these sites as well as he is probably the leading figure in bringing people to Islam. he also has a site called www.purposetv.tv that has some usefull vids. however at the moment the Brother is trying to launch a satellite tv transponder business and at times the site has been not loaded up.

you should get lots of help from those sites.

May Allah subhannahu wa ta aala assist you and reward you for your efforts! Ameen!
