Salaam sister. May Allah help you on your search for the truth. Ameen
I usually watch Nouman Ali Khan on YouTube . He's a student of the Quran and his talks are very inspirational on various subjects explaining entire Surahs of the Quran. But ideally if you could find a majid to attend would be so much better. May Allah make this journey for you and us all an easy one. Ameen

So Just read straight away Please,'' Ash hadhu anlaa ilaaha il Allah , I bear witness There's NONE worthy to be worshipped Except Allah (the Only One) and Ash hadhu anna Muhammad wa abdhuhu wa Rasooluhu , and I bear witness Muhammad (may peace be upon him) is his Slave and Messenger of Allah ''

For Christians its better to add Isaa Or Jesus(peace be upon him) is Allah's slave and his messenger of Allah.

I just read it aloud. Before i said "there is no God but Allah" and i said the rest (but just found out to add the part about Jesus). I didn't know to say the parts about slave before either. I didn't know to say "there's none worthy to be worshipped." So today is my official day of (what do you call it?) Lol. Don't wanna sound baptist etc lol

Hi I'm in America. I want to go to a mosque but don't have a car anymore. Can any Muslims tell me about your worships? I know they're on Fridays, I'd like to know what they preach about.

Sister, this video is worth watching when one expects signs from Allah. It happened to me a near similar experience too.

No. Not all all. He is the holy spirit whom Allah calls his the Pure spirit who is entrusted with might work of revelations from Allah to his Prophets.

I read about the bath but is that a weekly thing-or do you need to do this at least once in Islam?
Click to expand...

The Bath or Ghusl is done ( compulsory) when one enters Islam since without it its discouraged to enter Mosque or touch the Noble Quran for Muslims.

other compulsory baths are
1) Bath after impurity like menses, wet dreams, after giving birth (about 40 days i am not sure)
2) Baths on friday and Eid days
3) after bath , Ablution is a Must before every prayer but ablution does not break or ends without passing of impurities (all three) and sleeping .

What does Allah say about feeling bad (not real depression, but feeling ill physically?...
Click to expand...

what is inferred from our books both the Noble quran and hadiths is that something we ask Allah but Allah does not give is only for our good. Like some one wants to be very rich or very beautiful so & so , might be if we get them we may have some bigger problems that would put us in sorrow than happiness. so Allah knows what to give and whom to give when to give so we should not feel jealous of anybody else which is haram and a big sin too

Ty eesa. Your quote "worship the creator not the creation" I've been softly screaming that since i realized. Could i compare it to Jesus' time (or correct me if need be-it's more a question). Like John and Matthew were disciples of Jesus-so their gospels Allah confirmed in the Quran saying we could trust the words of Jesus (and John Matthew etc wrote them down). So one on hand Jesus confirmed they were his disciples (the good guys quote unquote). On the other hand i thought God said we could go by the words of Jesus (which Matthew mark Luke and John wrote). So Muhammed was also a prophet, peace be on him. So he probably said who his companions were, right? So they were notable well known people (like Jesus' disciples). So if we could confirm Muhammad approved of them, we could know their writing is from God. (It's not like they were adding new. they were telling what they saw and heard, right? As did Jesus' disciples-that wrote down what they heard (well i think Luke interviewed, but anyways). So... Right track?

Allah sends his message (scripture ) and The Messenger or Prophet's when the earlier message gets corrupted or the followers go astray. similar was the coming of David, Jesus etc when the jews started worshipping Ezra as the son of God and also forgot , misquoted their scriptures also hiding and replacing them with their own written verses.

similarly the problem of Gospels of Mark ,Mark etc its not sure who wrote them after 100 years (atleast) is the Testimony by the ONCE most trusted hard core Evangelist and Bible Scholar Prof Bart Erhman , and also each Gospel contradicts each other even in important events is the proof. and translations of NT into the polytheists Greek worsened it.

kindly watch video here Who wrote Matthew ? Who wrote Luke ?

But Our Hadiths from companions of Prophet :saws: though were compiled (not written, ) later about 100 years but were the eye witnesses that Prove their chain of narrators untill direct to Prophet . the stringent rules that apply here to grade a hadith as Sahih is such that even the bible will utterly fail to even come even near Hadiths. Imaam Bukhari rejected about 97% of his won collections that totaled about 600,000 into just about 7000 plus .

Ok good. I believed Gabriel was the Holy Spirit as soon as i read it. Then i researched it extensively and definitely believed it. But "Christians" don't know this. It's sad. Very.
 
There are two great courses at the following site, called "The First Day" and "The First Week" that are for new Muslims, and they are free. If you have any questions as you go through them insha'Allah, I'd be happy to help you.

Yeah the Jews tended to turn into polytheists a lot thousands of years ago, worshipping Asherah etc etc. None should be worshipped but Allah, ONLY He had no beginning. Every other being period has a beginning and was created, including Jesus pbuh. I've heard pastors say "Jesus is coeternal with God." There's no Bible verse even saying that (there's plenty that say the opposite). That's blasphemous to say God and Jesus both always existed. The Quran says the opposite many times, even the Bible dismisses the thought. They make people be polytheists when they teach like that.

Ty. I am trying to finish reading the Quran first. I'm half way through. After that I'll look at this stuff. Thank you all (everyone who tried to help me here).

I did ask for a sign in August 2014. That's how God showed me there was a God high high above Jesus pbuh (not Jesus pbuh). Then when i looked for it in the Bible i saw God was not Jesus pbuh. That led me to the Quran, but i had been told if i looked at the Quran i would lose salvation and go to hell basically. Those pastors blasphemed without knowing they did it. I was told basically horrible things about the God who gave the Quran-but Allah has been so good to me (I've prayed to Him every night since i saw He existed). Since i left the false church worshipping Jesus pbuh i felt better and better. When i feel not good now it's at night when i can't fall asleep. I think once i can wake up to pray before sunrise I'll feel much better. I've decided to stop eating pork (though i don't condemn those who still eat it, but eating too much of it would probably take years off of a human's life bc of the health effects). Anyways, since i believed in Allah i felt so loved, more than i ever dreamed of feeling in Christian churches (but they don't believe Christ, if they did they'd believe His God). They say "ask Jesus to come into your heart and he'll save you." #1 only God can save anyone. #2 they're praying to Jesus pbuh without believing in God! #3 that's like angel worship, except it's human worship (which is either worse or just as bad). I just realized today why not to eat pork (because i personally need to live as long as possible to serve God). Since i just realized that, and committed to it, i feel tons better!!

Basically early August 2014 i hoped there was a God (above Jesus pbuh). Then later in August 2014 i started asking for a sign. God answered (plus gave another sign i didn't think to ask for). Then when i looked at what Jesus pbuh said in the gospels, i realized to look for God. It took a while to understand the Christian pastors were just lying or accidentally lying. But I've stayed away from churches worshipping Jesus for months now, and i understood why to do the prayer times, so I've been doing that/trying to. For me understanding why-why don't eat pork, why pray that early-this helped me commit to these things (prayer, dietary, etc).

I want to change my religion ON THE PROFILE to say "Muslim." It says other. I thought i was a true Christian actually believing in the God of Christ Jesus pbuh. Then i remembered the Quran said "that's called Muslim." I officially understood "there's only one God, there's no other with no beginning" by August last month. I had known God gave the Quran by July 2016 (i kinda knew way before). I prayed the "there's no God but Allah prayer" in July 2016. If we want to sound Christian lol, i had basically "asked God into my heart" August 2014. I wasn't praying to Jesus-i was specifically meaning "not Jesus" but i didn't know God's name was Allah till months after that. I had to phrase it like "God, you, the one who hears me, who is not Jesus" essentially in August 2014. Lol. But i didn't realize not to go to any church worshipping Jesus pbuh till 2016. Actually i realized worshipping Jesus pbuh was a sin AFTER i decided not to go to any Christian churches and had left the church i was at.
 
I really just understood why to do the prayer times today. (But i had already kept them a little before).

Can you or anyone tell me more about the Holy Spirit? (About Gabriel). You know Christian churches try to say the Holy Spirit was COeternal with God WHICH IS NOT TRUE, and the prefix "co" shows it's not true. Allah said in the Quran there were no others, but only Him (there was no other to rival Him etc, none who existed then). Allah said He was the only one with no beginning, and said there's none like Him. I don't know chapters and verses numbers memorized yet, but i studied the fundamental verses. Anyways what Christian pastors call the Holy Spirit is their made up idea, and isn't the same thing as Islam anyways.

Even when God gave me a couple signs, i still didn't know who God was or what God's name was. One just got my attention. The other just indicated "God does exist (and He's not Jesus pbuh). I still didn't have faith till i saw the science in the Quran.

23 chromosomes of male and female
The word man is used 23 times and the word woman is used 23 times in the Quran.
The Bee is the 16th chapter
Bees have 16 chromosomes
The orbit period of Venus and Mars was indicated in the Quran
But when i saw the verse "We sent down iron" and read about it coming from space, not originating on earth-then i had faith in the Quran knowing the whole book was bound by the #19 and from the same prophet. The 2 signs i saw didn't give me faith nor did it let me know who God was, but it let me know the Christian pastors were lying when they said Jesus pbuh is The God. I mean in my situation i thought i would have gone to hell for looking at one verse of the Quran, my ex pastor basically told me that. God got my attention and basically communicated to me "I do exist, I'm not Jesus. Look at the texts, not what the pastors say-they don't know anything, they don't know about me." God showed me He existed in 2014-i still had no idea who He was or His name or anything. All i knew was "ok He's not Jesus." That was the extent of my knowledge through the "sign."
 
The "sign" basically just indicated "the Christian pastors are babbling-they have no idea what they're talking about-the one telling you not to read the Quran doesn't even know God exists (he thought God was Jesus pbuh). " At that point i stopped fearing what the pastor said (he told me the Quran was satan's book from satan basically-that was so blasphemous-they sing "we worship you God" and then they blasphemed God's word (the Quran is God's word). They need mercy, it's not like they're young saying these kinds of things (I've seen older pastors on t.v. say that stuff too).
