First off if you want to speak to people in private, they will need to know your gender first.
Second, what do you believe in already?
He it is Who sends blessings on you, as do His angels, that He may bring you out from the depths of Darkness into Light: and He is Full of Mercy to the Believers. [Quran {33:43}] www.QuranicAudio.com www.Quran.com
There is a clarification section if you have any doubts. There is the advice section on this forum and you can be anonymous.
I was looking at myself talking to myself and I realized this conversation...I was having with myself looking at myself was a conversation with myself that I needed to have with myself.
Welcome to the forum, if you do have any questions you can also ask here we will try our best to help.
peace

Welcome to the forum, any questions just post them, I know of a sikh sister who reverted, & with you being a bloke, she wouldnt speak to you in private, but im sure she wouldnt mind sharing her story, shes not on this forum, but i'll ask her.
It would be great if you can put me in contact with this sister if possible. It would give me an idea on how people around her will react. Thank you everyone for your responses.
Asalaamu alaikum. Where in the world are you from? I persobally know two reverts who were hindus before and they also had issues at first but they are very happy now.
Assalamu Alaikum brother, contrary to popular belief you do not need an imam in order to convert to Islam. To become a Muslim one must simply say the testimony of faith, also known as the shahada.
Which is to say: "Ash hadu alla ilaha illa Allah, wa ash hadu anna Mohammadan abduhu wa rasooluh." and in English it means, "I bear witness there is no God but Allah and I bear witness that Muhammad is the slave and the messenger of Allah." (saws).
However though, I would suggest going to a nearby mosque to make it formal. And you can also post as an anonymous member in the "Advice and Support" section of these forums to seek the advice of both the brothers and sisters alike, inshaAllah.
And Alhamdulillah you have started praying as well as Prophet Muhammad (saws) says in a Hadith, "The superstructure of Islam is raised on five (pillars): testifying that there is no God (none truely to be worshiped) but Allah, and that Muhammad is the messenger of Allah, performing the prayer, paying the Zakah (poor-due), fasting the month of Ramadan, and performing Hajj."
InshaAllah may Allah make it easy for you and inshaAllah may Allah guide us all, ameeeeen.
Assalamu Alaikum
"When you see one who is older than you then hold him in respect and say: 'Indeed he has preceded/gone ahead of me in Islaam and good deeds' and when you see one who is younger than you then hold him in respect and say to yourself: 'Indeed I have preceded him/gone ahead of him in sins.'"
Thank you all for your responses. I fully understand the way to conversion but at the moment due to my current situation I find it near impossible to convert.
May Allah guide me to the truth, the truth which I believe is to be Islam and Inshallah with comfort and ease.
if i can answer youthen i have to say you haveto be a muslim for your prayers to be accepted
becoming a muslim takes no effort and no time at all
remember even though your parentsarenot muslims you must always respect them unless they command youto go againstyour Lord's orders
because they is no obedience in disobeying theCreator our Lord
