As salamu aleiykum BROTHERS AND SISTER.

Well as of yesterday i joined this site to find more information and be a bit more guided about islam, i got tons of information,and well today morning i called a mosque and i spoke to a man he was helpful so about 1 hour and half ago i went to the mosque ,i must say i was nervous,i steped in the office and there were about 5 seniors, then after a talked i did the Shahdah,after it was done it felt great!i have never felt that way before,they gave me the quran english version,praying sheets and position,a praying mat,and a praying hat( I DONT KNOW WHAT IS THE EXACT NAME OF IT,CAN SOMEONE HELP ME ON THIS ONE?) they were very helpful i arrived home and showered i feel brand new :statisfiei will now start reading the quran ,i also have a question the " praying hat" do i need to wear it while i read the quran,or pray or while i go outside? i am asking because i seen muslim with their "hat" on on a regular basis. thank you so much..and it FEELS GREAT TO BE PART OF THIS COMMUNITY AND RELIGION.

Congrats brother! I am truly happy for you to find the truth! =)

No brother, you dont need to wear the "muslim hat". It is not obligatory, but I would say that you should learn how to make wudu and how to pray(salah)(including what to say when you pray). You need to learn the obligatory knowledge and practices in Islam as soon as possible, but take your time though. Dont stress too much. Learn it well.

That's great brother. I suggest you learn as much as you can from the classes! Personally I don't recommend visiting forums when you are very new to learning as forum discussions often involve a lot of issues and sometimes it can get very confusing. It's best to plant the foundations in knowledge first :)

after a talked i did the Shahdah,after it was done it felt great!

Allahu akbar (God is Great) Welcome to Islam and to the forum. I agree that a kufi (prayer hat) is not neccessary for prayer. I also advise you to take it 'slow and steady as you go' in learning about Islam and its practice. It can be quite overwhelming. Enjoy the enthusiasm and excitement of entering Islam, but know that this is a marathon and not a 100-yard dash.

Alhamdulillah!

I'm really happy for your brother Fronze. :)

Around here I've heard that Muslim "hat" referred to as a kufi.

al7mdullilah.. try to keep good company.. don't befriend bad Muslims or bad non-Muslims.. it can really affect your state of being and be toxic... and like Br. Hulk said go to classes and try to learn more from there than from forums.

thank you they gave me that name,and i feel very comfortable ,also can i wear my kufi on a daily basis?

[جوري]

If you want to, it isn't an injunction you know..

There is nothing wrong with keeping one's name given at birth as long as it doen't have a bad meaning. I personally don't like someone having a 'Muslim' around Muslims and a regular name for everyone else. If you ever legally change your name, then I highly recommend keeping your family name. I legally changed my name to Mustafa in 2004 and kept my last name. You can wear a kufi whenever you want.
