Another new muslim is joining this forum.
And alhamdulillah for that I found it. (:

I'm 18 and from Estonia.
My real name is Rauno though now I'm trying to get used to my muslim name.

I started feeling islam to be the right way already in the end of last year but started following it more seriously from April.

Assalamu alaikum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuhu.
 
Welcome brother to Islam and the forum, may ALLAH(swy) grant you the peace of your soul in Islam and keep you strong in faith.

:welcome: aboard akhi.. insha'Allah you'll enjoy yourself here, especially during Ramadan..

I haven't met any Muslims from Estonia before, how exciting, tell us some about your country insha'Allah..

:w:
 
Thank you for the welcome, sisters. :)

A bit about Estonia now insha'Allah.

It's quite a small country in the northern part of Europe with around 1.35 million people. It's dominantly Lutheran Christian but most people here don't care about the religion at all. I already mentioned it in another post but I think it's worth mentioning again that in a survey 84% of the people here answered "no" to a question whether religion is important to them. According to that Estonia is the most irreligious country in the world.

We have quite few Muslims here, only around 5,000 or so. Mostly they're tataris by ethnicity and only very few are estonians. Till now we don't have a single masjid in the whole country. There's actually a plan to build one and there would be money coming for it from the royal family in the UAE but the capital's city authorities here are not very eager to sell land for building a masjid and they're just delaying it as much as they can.

So all we have now is an islamic cultural centre with a little praying hall. It's also the place where few weeks ago I made my first real contact with muslims in Estonia. I've been there for Jum'ah a couple of times now but seen only about 25 or 30 people attending to it both times. This kind of tells a bit about the muslim community here, or about the lack of it. Unfortunately I also can't go for Jum'ah as often as I'd want to as I live not much less than 300 km from the capital.

In a horror movie, lol. That can happen when a country is really small.

Thanks for letting me know about the photography thread. I was actually thinking about it before whether this forum has something like that.
Insha'Allah I'll upload some photos there.
