Hey hello my name is _____ Im muslim but im stupid and dont know how to pray is there a muslima there that would be willing to teach me.
I dont know it just sounds stupid
Asalaamu Alaikum Wr Wb, my sister do not feel embarressed or "stupid" for wanting to learn how to pray and read the Qur'an. There is nothing "stupid" in wanting to get back your deen and get closer to Allah. Allah has given you the ability to go towards him so take the opportunity and do not let shaythan make you feel as though you are "stupid" for he is not wanting you to come towards Islam but to stay away from it. There are COUNTLESS Muslims out there who learn how to pray Salaah and MANY are much older than you are. So do not feel ashamed or embarressed but thank Allah for giving you the ability to go towards him.
I have contacted a couple of Masjids and have some numbers for you to contact:
First number for you is Sister Ugur Clare at 702-272-2844.
Also Dr. Saleha Baig at 702-686-4469 or email
salehab2005@yahoo.com
or sister Fatima at 702-336-7440
or email
a_fayed@hotmail.com
Get in touch with these sisters as they organise Islamic classes and activities for sisters in the Las Vegas area and they will be more than willing to help you and involve you and help you in whatever you need to learn inshallah.
Once you get involved then you can meet many other sisters who are in the same position as you and you will think to yourself "why was i ever feel embarressed to come forward for help"?
You will also make many new friends inshallah and be involved in various Islamic activities and inshallah in no timke you will have learnt how to pray and read the Qur'an and you can then also learn the Arabic language as well as about Islam in much more detail.
So take the step now sister and disregard you eternal enemy shaythan who just wants to destroy your confidence so that you never go towards Allah. Ramadan is coming so get involved now and do not wait until tomorrow for tomorrow may never come!
and Allah know best in all matters
