Hey! I am not a Muslim, just to get that out of the way I am a Gnostic, I mainly registered here to learn about Islam, one of my core beliefs is that every Religion has something to be learned from it, or are traced back to "The Source", or God. In which I am researching or learning everything I can about each religion due to this "personal belief", Islam is one of the main Religions I am currently studying or researching, from what I read so far, it is a very beautiful religion. I would love any "Book lists", of Muslim books that anyone here recommends. or just generally anything about Islam.
Mainly just the morals, or how to treat others etc, and several of the main beliefs that I have read Islam has.
Basic human rights and etiquette, yes. Islam is logical in every sense. I've noticed that all arguments against Islam can be refuted. It's truly amazing, if you ponder it.
Hello there! Well I just want to clarify, as Muslims we don't worship any separate god named "Allah". Allah just means God. Like I explained it in your other post. One God, no gender, no plural = Allah in Arabic. I hope this makes sense.
That's what I meant. Allah is one God. THE God. The only God out there. He isn't a god, similarly to how Jews and Christians worship THE God. God is God, not a god. I believe that we are all just worshipping the same God, but through our own interpretation of Him. I hope this is what you meant...

A number of off-topic posts have been deleted. As for the primary topic of this thread, perhaps the following links will be helpful in listing some useful resources about Islam, but there are others also: Studying Islam - List of Resources http://www.kalamullah.com/
I would like to remind us that our emphasis should be on the basics of Islam and those issues that are clear, authentic and agreed upon by all Muslims. Doing this will prevent a lot of confusion and help safeguard our eemaan .
Ibn Abbas (radhiyAllahu 'anhuma) reported that when the Messenger of Allah sent Mu’adh to Yemen, he said to him: Verily, you are coming to a people among the people of the Book, so call them to testify there is no God but Allah and I am the Messenger of Allah. If they accept that, then teach them that Allah has obligated five prayers in each day and night. If they accept that, then teach them that Allah as obligated charity to be taken from the rich and given to the poor. If they accept that, beware not to take from the best of their wealth. Be on guard from the supplication of the oppressed, for there is no barrier between it and Allah. [Ṣaḥīḥ al-Bukhārī 4090, Ṣaḥīḥ Muslim 19]
Thus, when calling people to Islam, we should call people to Islam in steps, starting with the most important beliefs and subsequently introducing the most important practices.
Imaam Al-Awzaa’ee (d.157) is reported to have said:
“Make yourself patient upon the Sunnah, stop where the people stopped, speak with what they spoke with, and refrain from what they refrained from. And follow the path of your Righteous Predecessors (Salafus Saaliheen) for verily, sufficient for you is that which was sufficient for them.” [Related in Ash-Sharee’ah, by Al-Aajurree, p. 58]
