Hi everyone I'm so sorry I have not posted anything for so long, but I must say that everything that's going on in my life is a little overwhelming. But I always keep some time to study Islam... I just don't always have time for both the forums and Quran. I have found a friend who is muslim...

Mecca?? I have a question about Mecca, what is it exactly and why pray in it's direction? It might sound like a simple and obvious question but it is still something I am not sure about. Thanks. Emerald

Thanks again Hi everyone, Again I have to say that, even after a few weeks, I am still amazed of how you all are so kind to me. You offer me help with open arms and it's really nice to know that there is someone to turn to. Though I have to admit that I not yet very comfortable speaking...

WOW Well the question "Do you believe that there is no god but Allah, and that Mohammad is His slave and messenger?" is an obvious one when you are a Muslim but for someone who thinks about Islam and explores this faith it is much harder because if you knew the answer you wouldn't be wondering...

the DOs and DONTs . You are right I do ask alot abou DOs and DONTs, but I have to say that I find it hard to questions about faith in it's self because it's something so personal and within you. Moreover, I still am not sure at all about my faith. Maybe one of you could ask me a question...

Muslims and church??? Hey, I have a question. My best friend died last week and her funerals were Monday and I went, It seemed obvious that I had to go, but I was wondering if Muslims were allowed to go in catholic church. Obviously I did not pray to Jesus I prayed to god and I didn't do any...

the mosque and the hijab As you pretty much all know now, I 'm interested in Islam and I'm thinking about going to the mosque to take contact with the muslim community. But now I'm wondering if I have to wear the scarf at the mosque... so maybe someone could tell me what I should do.

Thanks to all of you I thank you all for your words, they have really help. I have to say for now that I would like to keep talking to you guys but right now I just don't know what to talk about. Everything seems equally meaningless to me right now. But at the same time I feel that Islam...

she passed away Hi everyone, Remember I told you guys that my best friend was sick... well she passed away today. I can't belive this is happening. Well I don't know what muslims do in that kind of situations but maybe we could all have a thought for her.

how to tell your family and friends?? Hi everyone, as some of you might know, I have been very interested in Islam lately. However, not only will it affect me but also my family and my friends, I have not told anyone yet but one day I will have to. I am wondering if I should tell them now...

Thanks to you all I thank you all very much, you have all been helpful to me. I will explore the links that you have sent me and I will read more of the Quran. I will come back surely with more questions!! Islam feels so much more open to me (I have to admit that, I felt like because I...

thanks ... and more questions Thanks to you all. I am amazed of how fast you have replied, i appreciate it. In fact I did not mention it in my first post because I wanted to cut to the essential but I have in fact started to read the quran a week ago. And now I wonder is there a part of it...

I 'm very happy that I found this site, it really has given me something to turn to lately. I grew up in a Christian family who didn't practice the religion very much, so I eventually became an atheist. But a few weeks ago I started to realize the emptiness of atheism, I now find that there...
