Im 19. i was born into a Muslim family. When i was little i attended Arabic class, but at the age of 6 i moved to the states and didnt have the resources to continue my learning. My problem is i am confused and questioning my faith. I dont prey and i cant read Arabic. Yesterday while at a family gathering, our imam asked me, knowingly, to lead the prey. He called me out on something i have been tring to avoid for 13 years and this is what lead me to question why islam? humidified in front of family and friends i questioned if i was born into the wrong family, culture and religion. i sincerely ask anyone out there for advice or guidance to lead to the path to enlightenment salam
please give me guidance

Subhanallah. Subhanallah. of course you're not born into the wrong family. brother you gotta realize that shaytan nags at us at all times. he tries to attack us from everyside, and he made a promise to allah that he will do so, and that the servants of Allah will turn away from him. But Allah has opened other doors for us to keep shaytan away from us. Making dua is one of the opened doors. Secondly dear brother you need to study islam. Don't be ashamed to ask your parents to help you. Being a Muslim is a gift from Allah. This whole world was created by him. Allah has given us food, clothes, family, friends...it's so much that we can't count. and yet we want to disobey him? is that right. Allah does not need us, we are the ones who are in need of him. So brother say a'udu billah and start practicing your deen. learn your deen, and find the answers. i'll pm you and send you websites. salam. may Allah guide you and keep those who are guided on the right path. ameen.

Don't feel bad brother. When I was 11 years old I asked myself the same question, until I came to an answer Mashallah. It was from Islam World . Net, and I learned that Islam is the truth because in it, we the Muslims beleive in the highness and the only one worshp of Allah. Even the Christians don't have this, ecause they beleive Allah is a man or Allah has a "son," which we don't beleive because Allah is the most high.
The problem could be brother, that you never learned anything about Islam when you were a child. Kids usually learn the important stuff when they're kids. Our parents just teach us the things about Islam, but they never tell us in EXTREME detail who Allah is, and the importance of there being a god, so I was confused when my mom told me about Allah when I was five, and I'd always want to know more who Allah is, but then I found out, it was just that I then needed to know the importance and the way Islam is differant. We're monotheistic brother, that's why we have the status of being Ummatil Islam, the Ummah of Muhamad (SAW), were we don't beleive in something unless we know it's true and we accept it with our hearts with sincerity.
Assalamu Alykum brother, may Allah help guide you to the staright path.

:salam2:
brother, you are going through a test right now. believe me, i know because i've been going through some tests of my own. MASHA'ALLAH you are being guided to properly learn about islam. you definitely weren't born in the wrong family. i suggest that you make D'UA to ALLAH SWT to give you the hidayah to the straight path. islam is a blessing, receive it! i will be honest with you, islam teaches us something new everyday, because it's more than a religion it is a way of life. it affects us in all matters. how we eat, sleep, bank, talk, dress etc. insha'allah you will be able to build up a great imaan.
Asalaamu'Alykum,
The assistance offered so far has been good Mash'Allah.
I can relate to what your saying. I remember in school we had a prayer room which was used by 4 Brothers including me. That's one student and 3 teachers. So, i always hoped that they never made me do anything, just Pray and leave for class. But one time, only one brother was in school, so for Zuhr he said to me "Give the Iqamah" or "Do you know the Iqamah" i replied shyly "No, i don't know how to give it". I can't remember exactly.
So at the same time i was shocked, felt really stupid and just added upon my misery. His face was like "I can't believe he doesn't know the Iqamah". So he gave it i think or we just prayed i can't remember.
That was the worst moment of that day on top of other difficulties in school.
But the point is, i knew i needed to learn about my religion but on my mind was "i need to learn how to read the Qur'an" or rather "i just wish i could pick up a Qur'an and read it in Arabic". Guess what, with Effort, Constant Supplication and Perserverance i made it. You have to start somewhere, beating yourself up will keep you in that position of knowledge your in but taking action will result in you moving forward.
But the best part of it all was this... After i found a centre upon the true path of the Salaf with loads of other reasons as well and 2-3 months passed. On one particular Jumu'ah sat at the front waiting a couple of minutes for the Athan to be given so the khateeb could begin the Khutbah. And after some time in to the sermon i just glanced across the room because brothers are walking in and you hear just a sudden noise which attracts your attention. I glanced across the room and there was that same brother in the prayer room at school i used to pray with sitting on the second row. I was absolutely shocked. I didn't think he would be here.
So i decided i would try and approach him at the end of Prayer after praying my Sunnah. But, i couldn't because a brother was praying behind me and next to me, i was sort of surrounded. He left before i could get a chance to give my Salam.
I thought, next time i will get you Well more like "Insh'Allah next time". A few weeks passed i didn't see the brother but my opportunity came. Near the exit of the centre you have to climb down some stairs. I stopped him because he didn't recognise me, i said "It's me Nazim from Immanuel (<- name of school)". He replied "Mash'Allah", he was shocked, i just smiled and walked with him out of the Mosque. He had his kids with him too. Mash'Allah.
Looking back now and i am thinking, in that prayer room when he realised i didn't know how to give the Iqamah he must have thought "My son can give the Iqamah but this 15yr old can't, La Hawla Wa La Quwwata Illah Billah (There is no might and power except Allah)". Think about it, if i had been exposed to that, it would have hurt soooo much. But Alhamdulilah. All that led to today. Subhan'Allah.
That just soldifies my point, you have to start somewhere. Subhan'Allah that just puts into perspective how the little contributions build the tower. Come on brother, ignite that flame, you have the key.
May Allah make it easy for you in your pursuit of seeking knowledge and bettering yourself. Ameen.
Insh'Allah this helps to what your feeling and how to sort it out. I may not have answered some of your difficulties but i think the reply combines all of them. Insh'Allah
Alhamdulilah
Sorry for any spelling or grammar mistakes.
