Hi everyone,
I found this forum a little by accident but it seems quite a welcoming place so i thought id give it a go..
I am a member of what you would call '' people of the book '' ? I dont want to disclose exactly what faith i am since in the past ive been met with a lot of animosity by some muslims, who seemed to form opinions of me - not all of them pleasent - based purely on the fact of what faith i belong to..
Ive always had muslim friends and i work in a muslim area ... At first I started wearing a form of hijab and muslim style clothing just because i noticed that it made things easier for me in terms of the way i was treated and spoken too etc ..
So that lead to questions and more questions about islam.. Im already quite religious in terms of my own faith but sometimes it feels like theres something missing ..
so i guess im here to satisfy my questions about islam and to find out what it is that draws me to it ...
Im not sure if ill ever convert - right now thats just to complex to think about .. ( although i have tried to seriously imagine that scenario ) but i am reading through the Quran and theres a lot about islam that makes sense to me ..
so i think for now id just like to learn and to maybe ask some questions .. i hope thats ok with everyone .. ??
Ill apologise in advance for the ignorance of my questions.. my knowledge of islam is mainly drawn from the net - and there is bound to be gaps and mistakes ...
