I really want to find out more about Islam but i find it really difficult to know where to begin.
Can anyone help?
It might help for you to know that i actually know nothing and im really confused i have been raised with no religion in my life and ive got to point where i feel i need to know more.
You have all certainly put alot of my fears at ease and made me realise that islam is only as difficult as you make it. I guess most of my confusion came from an inner struggle and disappointing others. I was and to an extent still am scared of making a mistake or misundertstanding islam. Did anyone else feel the same?

Hi FeeFee.
If you're ever afraid of making a mistake or misunderstanding anything, then you have a right to ask, infact it's your duty because we should all try to work hard to find the truth.
Alot of people can make mistakes, and the one's who ask may seem ignorant for a little while, but in the end - they will be the ones who will succeed insha'Allaah (God willing) - because they won't be ignorant forever. Whereas for the one who's shy in finding out the truth, then their just going to be confused all the time.
Anyway, if you do have any questions - remember, please ask anytime insha'Allaah.
Allah puts no burden on any person beyond what He has given him. After a difficulty, Allah will soon grant relief. (Qur'aan 65:7)
Hey feefee, hope all is goin well with u inshallah. I think ur fear is more of the hereafter isnt it?? The fact that you do not know what is in store for u. But sis you will soon realise that every answer you are looking for is in the quran. As one of the brothers or sisters has recommended you should read a translation of it, but this may slightly confuse you further as you probably do not know its history.
Mashallah its good you have acknowledged that there is a creator, and life after death. I sense you have 100% belief of a god, so im hoping you will accept the fact that in order to achieve a plave in heaven you must obey every command of god.

Islam in a word is worshipping none but Allah. Worship includes seeking any sort of spiritual help. No entity other than Allah has any spiritual power to do you any good or harm. So whatever you need, you have to ask for it to Allah alone directly without any medium. You have no other spiritual friend or protector in this world or in the hereafter but Allah alone.This is Islamic faith and when you have this faith, maybe you are already a Muslim.
Then you have some ritual worships which you will do in the way shown by the prophet, who was simply a guide. So he must not be worshipped in any manner--directly, indirectly or hintingly--and you are expected tol live your whole life as a righteous person in the light of the divine book of the Quran and the ideal of the prophet. But to err is human, so when you commit an act of sin you will repent sincerely to Allah and He will forgive your sin.

peace feefee,
i did a little, but i was more affraid of the response i would get from those around me and actually felt i would be treated badly by the muslims but alhamdulillah my experience has been the exact opposite and if anything they treat me too well and that took some getting used to.
just dont be affraid to ask questions, that is what we are here for and none of us would mind at all.
peace be upon those who follow righteous guidence,
Daw'ud

is not only you...we too fears that we can't be the best muslim. Thats why even some born muslim doesn't want to believe in islam anymore.
We are a human being...all we can do is to try our best. As a muslim we have prayer...and we always pray (make dua)...so that Allah will always show us the right path.
The only person that can jugde us is Allah...so just learn as much as you can and don't worry too much. :sister:
