Salam brothers and sisters,

I joined as a Christian to find answers about Islam. I honestly never expected to become a Muslim myself! But I am thankful to Allah at every moment of every day that I did :)



I don't know about refreshing, but I do know that the kindness and encouragement of the brothers and sisters here (and in real life) was one of the many things that helped guide me to Islam.

Peace be with you

Your story and mine are very similar, sister. I really didn't know what to expect when I joined here, but I'm glad I did. The encouragement of everyone here is what helped keep me on the straight path.

I dont know about my bros/sis' in Islam but this question has crossed my mind when I see Atheist, Christian,etc. members here. I'm not saying that they should not be here, but some of the non-muslim posters come here and argue or some come here with no intentions to embrace or accept Islam.

What I am courious about is as a non-muslim (muslims may answer as well):
What motivated you to join an Islamic forum?
Do you get any benefit from joining an Islamic forum?

This thread wasnt created to put anyone down. I'm just simply courious because I dont think I personally would join a religious forum that did not promote the religion that I follow.
And please keep it peaceful here :)

It is largely due to the encouragement of a few members here that I overcame my fears and doubts about Islam and took shahada. Had I gone to the masjid first before coming here, I may not have followed through with my decision. I might still have done it, but I don't know. At least I don't have to wonder about that anymore...

I don't like croissants anymore. We simply do not get along. So croissants are not my fwends, we are currently issuing divorce proceedings. :p:

Is that because the masjids are unwelcoming or sectarian and cliquey?

More like I would never have gotten over my fear long enough to walk in there. The brothers are friendly enough, though I still get a few odd looks here and there.

No, it was the encouragement of some members here that gave me enough confidence to walk in there in the first place.
 
Assalaamu Alaaykum

Nothing wrong with being a geek/nerd/dork. I am some combination of all 3.

Misfits, unite!

The things that you learn here do you apply it any kind of way to your daily life?

Yes, when I'm in a discussion with someone and they either have a question or a misunderstanding, I can usually answer. Or when I read something about Islam (either an news report of opinion piece) I can see if they are right or wrong and whether their slant has colored their analysis.

Well I was mainly referring to myself there, but the point is taken.

Sorry. :embarrass imsad
 
Assalaamu Alaaykum

no need to apologise brother.

nobody is a dork..but everyone is certainly a geek.
 
I think I'm more of a nerd, actually. ;D

There is an online test somewhere that tells you how nerdy you are:
http://www.nerdtests.com/ft_nq.php

This is what I got:

Overall, you scored as follows:
weird_barphphigh39low60-1.jpg

39% scored higher (more nerdy),
1% scored the same, and
60% scored lower (less nerdy).
What does this mean? Your nerdiness is:​

Low Ranking Nerd. Definitely a nerd but low on the totem pole of nerds.​

I think my hatred of math and low grades brought my nerd score down....
