i went to my local masjid today!! yay! i was welcomed with open arms. very peaceful feeling in there! they showed me the prayer room. i even got to sit in on a prayer! (i didnt perform the prayer though:cry:) the woman who gave me the tour was very nice, and answered all of my questions. she even gave me a Qu'ran!! im gonna start reading it ASAP! i definitely want to go back, so hopefully i can work something out with my work and school schedule!

I am very happy for you! Going to the masjid must have been a unique experience. You can tell us your feelings, if you wish.

[Ramadhan]

Alhamdulillah that you had good experience in going to the masjid for the first time.
I am praying that it is the first of your many more countless visits to the mosque. Amiin

That's a very good step. The more you get to know more of Islam, the more you like it. :)

If there's anything we can help you with as you read the Koran, lily, let us know. Some people find it difficult to understand.

thank you!! i have started to read it slowly, and the qu'ran that was given to me has a bit of explanation at the bottom of the page for pretty much every verse... along with that im trying to find some software online that could maybe recite it for me... i was also looking for some software that will recite the 5 salaat prayers for me until i can learn them in Arabic but im having a hard time finding any good programs.. anyone have any advice??

Asalaamu Alaikum Sister,

It's great to hear that, Inshallah the more you learn about Islam the more you love it :)

I want nothing more than to have a masjid in this area... honestly my car isnt happy w/ this way below normal temperatures... there appears to maybe be an islamic center in the next town over. I know i need to call them... to see if there are any islamic sisters in the area.. i'm so afraid the place either doesn't exist or is very inactive...

I am so glad you got to go and had wonderful feedback and i hope the koran becomes easier to read..even in english to me it flows beautifully...

Jazakumullah Akhee Naidamar. I was about to do so when I came to the last post, I found you already did so.

We all are happy and available here to help you in one way or other, sister lily
