    Thinking of converting

    Report bad ads?

    Hi everyone

    I'm seriously thinking of converting to islam I've been doing some research for a while and taking little tests online to see how far I'm progressing, I was just wondering if anyone would be kind enough to help me out maybe by talking to me on a one to one level to help me understand more by actually talking to someone who is already a Muslim etc

    Three simple rules in life:

    1) If you do not go after what you want, you will never have it
    2) If you don't ask, the answer will always be no.
    3) If you do not step forward, you'll always be in the same place

    Hi Sophie,

    i'm not sure what you mean by taking tests. the first thing to understand is Tawhid, the Oneness of Allah. we worship only Allah and only pray to Allah. If you understand the 5 pillars of Islam and the 6 pillars of Iman, that is all that you need to know.there are no "tests" that you need to pass, if you understand, then you are ready. Bilal Philips has a great set of lectures here. it's 21 parts:



    where do you live? perhaps someone could point you towards the closest mosque.

    THE 5 PILLARS OF ISLAM

    According to the teachings of Prophet Muhammad (صلى الله عليه و سلم),Islam is based on the following five pillars:

    1. To testify that there is no true God but Allah and that Muhammad (صلى الله عليه و سلم) is His last Messenger and the seal (last) of prophets.
    2. To perform prayers (5 times a day)
    3. To pay zakat (Charity-poor due once a year).
    4. To fast during the month of Ramadhan.
    5. To perform hajj (Pilgrimage - Once in a lifetime, if one
    capable).
    THE FUNDAMENTAL ARTICLES OF IMAN (FAITH)

    To believe in:
    1. Allah
    2. His Angels
    3. His revealed Books
    4. His Messengers
    5. The Day of Resurrection
    6. Al-Qadr; Whatever Allah has ordained must come to pass (In other words, fate and destiny).
    May Allah make it easy on you!

    ma salaama

    Had the non-believer known of all the Mercy which is in the Hands of Allah, he would not lose hope of entering Paradise, and had the believer known of all the punishment which is present with Allah, he would not consider himself safe from the Hell-Fire
