hello brothers and sisters. i was born a catholic, but didn't like the catholic teachings so i became a hindu (not officialy though) and recently i have become inspired by islam. my family is horrified at my interest in islam, because they think that all muslims are terrorists, even though i have explained to them that only very few muslims are terrorists and that terrorism is not in the teachings of islam anyways. my mom wouldnt even let me visit the local mosque because she thought that someone would bomb it... so i would like for someone to teach me and guide me in the religion of islam, preferably a pious person who can be like a role model. it is a sad thing that the average american thinks that all muslims are terrorists, because the media portrays muslims in that way. i hope that someday we can all become tolerant of one another in this world and spread peace
Salam
I don't claim to be pious but I do try to be pious . I'm glad that you are interested in Islam and that you don't judge Muslims with the stereotypical image of Islam. Here are a few links which will give you some of the basic knowledge of Islam. http://www.islam-guide.com/ http://www.introductiontoislam.org/
I would advise you to read Quran since that is the best book in Islam. and then ask questions about any particular verse which you don't get. If you have any questions, you are welcome to ask. I am sure that all brothers and sisters online will be more than willing to answer.
Peace
May Allah SWT bless your seeking of knowledge and lead you into the path of light that you seek and make you amongst the righteous InshAllah.
Seeking knowledge is the start of your journey, its a continous life long journey and you must along the way continue to Ask your creator for guidance upon that journey. Its Only Allah SWT that will open your heart to the right information and since your intentions are already in that direction Allah SWT will not let you down. Continue to Ask questions, Read, Pray and learn and InshAllah you will be lead to the most trustworthy rope that will never break.
Welcome to the forum! If you visit the link in my signature, you'll find a bunch of good reads. It's geared more towards converts, but I think an interested non muslim would find it useful as well.
May Allah guide you along your journey of Islam!!
Allah is the only one who can guide you pray to God for support and knowledge!!
I'm a recent revert to Islam and I've also been having trouble talking to some of my family members of Islam. It's sad how the media protrays Islam, people shouldn't believe everything they hear on the evening news.
I hope you learn a lot on this forum!! And I wish you all the best!!
Welcome! I am still learning myself but this is the place to ask many questions and get some knowledgeable answers or a link that can answer your questions.
Take care and I wish you all the best in learning.
Salaam Alaikoum

aww mashaAllah may Allah keep u guided, ameen. have u made ur shahada yet?
not yet but i want to. do i have to go to a mosque to make it? or is it something i can do on my own? my family is sort of against islam and so would be difficult if i have to have witnesses and stuff like in baptism in christianity.
Thxs for opening this thread, i also see im not the only one in the same situation, and from what ive read you arent either, we should start a "seeking knowledge of islam group" lol...

*Without Allah, without Islam, life would be meaningless. If I've ever learned patience, it's because of this. Alhamdulillah...*
