Hi Brothers and Sisters,

I am a born Hindu who is disillusioned with my religion. The more I read about the Prophet (peace be upon him) and his teachings, the more I see what a beautiful faith Islam is.

Is it possible for me to learn more about Islam? What is the best way? Would I be accpeted by the Muslim community? What is the protocol?

Thank you for your advice.

Of course. I recommend www.beconvinced.com for one but there are many websites where you can learn more about Islam. Just wait for the admin Ansarto come ;)

It is also important that you keep a muslim group of friends so please stick around. :)
Would I be accpeted by the Muslim community?

Definitely. :)

Welcome to the LI Forums brother

I hope you are in the best of health

I would say one of the best ways for you to learn about Islam is through Internet sites, but you have to be sure there are authentic, as some are made to defame Islam

Here are some authentic Internet sites that could help, Inshallah:

www.lutonmuslims.co.uk

www.islamcan.com

www.miraclesofthequran.com

www.allaahuakbar.net


Another helpful way to learn about Islam is through talking to other Muslims, I say this because I have a friend who is also Hindu. We were once comparing the way of life in both Hinduism and Islam, over time she began asking me more about Islam and soon became very interested in Islam and the way of life. She is still interested in the faith but has not yet decided on whether she wants to revert or not, due to being unsure and out of fear of how her parents might react.


I hope this as been helpful
 
Thank you all for your replies and encouragement.

Brother Osman,

The fact that Islamic community would accept a non-Muslim into their community is testimony to what a beautiful religion Islam is. You see, if any of you were foolish enough to convert to Hinduism, you would never be accepted as an equal by the arrogant higher caste brahmin Hindus.
 
:sl:

I see. Are you considering converting to Islam? Or would you prefer to learn more first, before anything? :)

:omg:

the Companions of the Prophet (pbuh) were the 1st to convert, and they were the Prophet (pbuh)'s companions!!! all humans are equal under God, whether they are convert, born Muslim, white, black, tall, short, genius, slow... the only thing that makes us different is our piety, Iman (Faith), and deeds.

as a matter of fact, i heard (dont know if its true, but thats what i read in another forum without proof) converts get 2X the reward... 1 for abandonning their own false beliefs, and another 1 for being a Muslim.
 
Asalam o alikum warahmatulahi wabarakatuh..

"as a matter of fact, i heard (dont know if its true, but thats what i read in another forum without proof) converts get 2X the reward... 1 for abandonning their own false beliefs, and another 1 for being a Muslim."

yeh i heard dat to bro mainul Islam. but i'm not sure if its true.. but once a person does convert to Islam all their past sins get 4given. - i knw that for a fact.

wasalam o alikum warahmatulahi wabarakatuh.

bro/sis welcome to the forum.Hope you convert soon that way you'll be cleansed of past sins and start off fresh.Really envy you.Hope I had that opportunity.Like brother Osman already mentioned of course the Muslim community will welcome you.Look at Bilal(The black African slave of Umaya bin Khalaf).Prophet Muhammad and the other Sahaba's welcomed him and made him one of their own.Islam is a Religion made up of alot of different races and colors.Even though we differ on that we're united by the unity of God.Mashallah some brothers and sisters provided you with some great links.Hope they prove to be useful.

welcoem to islam, islam is the fastest growing religion in the world :) u r a revert like thousands others...best way to learn about islam is from books and ppl, get some into books on islam inshallah

and of course U WILL BE ACCPETED1
 
Peace be with you, dear brother 'Platinum'

You indeed will be welcome to become a Muslim. A good site I suggest is www.load-islam.com.
As you probably already know, Islam is the fastest growing religion worldwide. The rate of growth since i think 1999 in India has been at a rate of 36%. World wide, since the 1950's, Islam has grown at a phenomenal rate of 200%. There are all kinds of muslims - white, black, brown, yellow....it doesnt matter. Islam is universal. I hope you enjoy the journey and enter into 'Peace' - which is one of the meanings of 'Islam'.

Your sister in Islam :)

yesh, true also let not forget our pink and blue bros and sis
 
How would I go about entering a mosque. The only other Muslim I know is a Smiley (spelling?) Muslim, and I am told non-Smileys are not allowed in.

Also, is it better to be a Sunni Muslim or a Shia Muslim? Do both sects believe in the same version of the Holy Qu'ran?

When I have a little more time, I would like to share why/ how I came into Islam. I can't express enough gratitude to the Prophet (may Allah's blessings be with him always) for giving us this faith.
